Jeff Buckley

Kashmir

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
Stars to fill my dream.
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been.
To sit with Elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen.
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
And all will be revealed...

Jolly Street (w/Jazz Passengers)

slow birds
no breeze
iron hearts
rust in streams
long march
small crimes
soft words
whisper
it's time to come home - your eyes
to bring back - your charms
to sit real still
in my arms
clocks tick
trees pound
lions roar
on empty streets
long lists
in black and white
(s h h) red words
that read like the fourth of July

Sefronia - The King's Chain

i couldn't buy you with a hundred cattle
but you hike in shells and feathers
up the african beach,
i am king here, tied to this hut by the king's chain
my power's like a tree and green taboo to me
the chameleon lies in your dusty fingers,
and blue flies circle your head like stars;
jump into me now, I must not see the water,
let me sip weakness from your dark nipples

Kangaroo

(a. chilton)
Originally performed by the big star
I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldnt hide
Anything
I saw you leaving, oh
I saw you staring out in space
I next saw you
You was at the party
Thought you was a dream
Oh so flirty
I came against
Didnt say excuse
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
cause we were leaving
The same jerk
Doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you

Didos Lament

(h.purcell)
This is a piece, for a soprano voice, from dido and aeneas, an opera composed by henry purcell in 1681. jeff performed it live in his exhibition at meltdown festival, london, on july 1 1995.
Thy hand, belinda, darkness shades me.
On thy bosom let me rest.
More I would, but death invades me.
Death is now a welcome guest.
When I am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble in thy breast.
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.

Jolly Street

(music by curtis fowlkes, lyrics by ray dobbins and roy nathanson)
From the 1994 jazz passengers album in love.
Slow birds
No breeze
Iron hearts
Rust in streams
Long march
Small crimes
Soft words
W h I s p e r
Its time to come home - your eyes
To bring back - your charms
To sit real still
In my arms
Clocks tick
Trees pound
Lions roar
On empty streets
Long lists
In black and white

So Real

Love, let me sleep tonight on you couch
And remember the smell of the fabric
Of your simple city dress
Oh... that was so real
We walked around til the moon got full like a plate
The wind blew an invocation and I fell asleep at the gate
And I never stepped on the cracks cause I thought Id hurt my mother
And I couldnt awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under
Pulled me under
Oh... that was so real
I love you, but Im afraid to love you
I love you, but Im afraid to love you

Alive

(i.monteiro)
Originally performed by the drugstore. jeff performed it live at mercury lounge, new york, on december 31 1995.
I
I feel the time is coming
I
I walk into your eyes
Oh, I dont care if the clock is turning
Cause Im going to the other side
You either die
Or you keep on burning alive
And I am burning
I
I walked a long long distance
I
Im feeling sore inside
Oh, I dont care if the sky is falling
Cause Ill never get to see the light
You either die
Or you keep on burning alive
And I am burning

Thousand Fold

(j. buckley)
I have no desire to make contact with all the thought of no, no.
I shiver now, to think of how this answer asked her, no.
Long time gone.
I run to my hide out.
There aint a star born that brightens
More than you, you always should have known,
Ill illuminate your question,
Long time ago Id died and gone.
What has brought the question?
Time has brought the question.
Come and call the question, oh, oh, oh.
Here are the stars, same thing again
Over, over, over, over, over, over
Over, over, over, over, over, over.

I Want Someone Badly (feat. Shudder To Think)

now i want someone badly
got a girl here tonight
wants someone new
someone new
a little cry wants someone badly
i wanna know if this is a bad lease on me
i want to know
i want to know
am i sure that i heard you right
i want to know
if you're leaving just do it tonight
now i want someone badly
to burn in here with me
but listen baby
'cause i cry all over madly
don't do anything do it for/with me
ooh i wanna know
am i sure that i have your love
i wanna know
if you're leaving just make sure it's right
