[00:01.32] | Artist:nina simone |
[00:02.63] | Songs Title:just like tom thumb’s blues |
[00:10.60] | youre When lost in the rain in juarez |
[00:14.86] | its And easter time too |
[00:20.51] | And your gravity fails |
[00:22.76] | And negativity dont pull you through |
[00:30.53] | Dont put on any airs |
[00:33.71] | When youre down on rue morgue avenue |
[00:39.89] | They got some hungry women there |
[00:42.70] | And they really make a mess out of you |
[00:55.18] | Now if you see saint annie |
[00:59.51] | tell Please her thanks a lot |
[01:05.05] | I cannot move |
[01:07.44] | My fingers are all in a knot |
[01:14.97] | I dont have the strength |
[01:18.46] | To get up and take another shot |
[01:24.83] | And my best friend my doctor |
[01:27.84] | Wont even say what it is I have got |
[01:40.58] | Sweet melinda |
[01:43.45] | The peasants call her the goddess of gloom |
[01:50.81] | speaks She good english |
[01:53.21] | And she invites you up into her room |
[01:59.70] | And youre so kind |
[02:01.65] | And careful not to go to her too soon |
[02:08.93] | And then she takes your voice |
[02:11.41] | And leaves you howling at the moon ............. |
[02:29.23] | Up on housing project hill |
[02:33.23] | Its either fortune or fame |
[02:38.43] | You can take one or the other |
[02:42.24] | Though neither of them |
[02:43.15] | Are to be what they claim |
[02:49.01] | If youre looking to get silly |
[02:52.13] | You better go back from where you came |
[02:58.25] | Because the cops dont need you |
[03:01.15] | And man they expect the same |
[03:14.40] | the Now authoritiesall |
[03:15.08] | |
[03:17.88] | just They stand around and boast |
[03:23.46] | Hew they blackmailed the sergeant at arms |
[03:27.16] | Into leaving his post |
[03:32.78] | And picking up my brother car who |
[03:36.71] | Just arrived here from the coast |
[03:42.46] | Who looked so fine at first |
[03:45.51] | But left looking just like a ghost well like they ghost i seed |
[03:54.51] | |
[04:01.86] | I when started out on burgundy |
[04:06.72] | But soon hit the harder stuff |
[04:12.83] | Everybody said theyd stand behind me |
[04:16.27] | When the game got rough |
[04:21.38] | ah But the joke was on me |
[04:24.72] | There was nobody even there to bluff |
[04:30.62] | Im going back to new york city |
[04:33.87] | I do believe Ive had enough |
