Ain't No Sunshine lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by Bill Withers)

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
Hey, I oughta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

Heartbeats Accelerating lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by Anna McGarrigle)

Love, love, where can you be?
Are you out there looking for me?
Love, love, where can you be?
Love, I am waiting.
Heartbeats accelerating.

Will you come when all is still?
From the river or the hills.
Love, love, where can you be?
Love, I am waiting.
Heartbeats accelerating.

Will you come on a Saturday night?
Maybe then the time will be right.
Love, love, where can you be?
Love, I am waiting.
Heartbeats accelerating.

When you steal into my room
What earthly body will you assume?
Love, love, where can you be?
Love, I am waiting.
Heartbeats accelerating.

Will you come on a Saturday night?
Maybe then the time will be right.
Love, love, where can you be?
Love, I am waiting.
Heartbeats accelerating.

Love, love, where can you be?
Are you out there looking for me?
[x2]

Love, I am waiting.
Heartbeats accelerating.
[x2]

Summer Wine lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by Lee Hazlewood)

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you more summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

You Know I'm No Good lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by Amy Winehouse)

Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
You say why did you do it with him today?
And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray

'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear me down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya that I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy,
He's in the place, but I can't get joy,
Thinking of you in the final throws,
This is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet your chicks and bitter
You say when we're married 'cause you're not bitter
There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya that I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub you're on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet

Then you notice little carpet burn
My stomach drops and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself like I knew I would
I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
I cheated myself, like I knew I would
I told ya I was trouble, yeah ya know that I'm no good

Music When The Lights Go Out lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by Pete Doherty)

Is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind,
and to lie to you rather than hurt you?
Well I'll confess all of of my sins
after several large gins
but still I'll hide from you,
hide what's inside from you.

And alarm bells ring
when you say your heart still sings
when you're with me.
Won't you please forgive me?
I no longer hear the music
Oh no

And all the memories of the pubs
and the clubs and the drugs and the tubs
we shared together,
Will stay with me forever.

But all the highs and the lows
and the to's and the fro's,
They left me dizzy,
Oh won't you please forgive me
I no longer hear the music
Oh no no no no

I no longer hear the music when the lights go out,
Love goes cold in the shades of doubt
The strange fate in my mind is all too clear.
Music when the lights come on
The girl I thought I knew has gone,
And with her my heart had disappeared...

Well I no longer hear the music
Oh no no no no no
All the memories of the fights and the nights
and the blue lights, all the kites
We flew together,
I thought they'd fly forever.

But all the highs and the lows
and the to's and the fro's
They left me dizzy,
Oh won't you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music
Oh no no no no no

I no longer hear the music
Music when the lights go out
Love goes cold in the shades of doubt
The strange fate in my mind it's all too clear.

Music when the lights come on
The girl I thought I knew has gone
And With her my heart had disappeared

I no longer hear the music
Oh no no no no no
I no longer hear the music.

Last Kiss lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by Wayne Cochran)

Oh where, oh where can my baby be,
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date, in my daddy's car,
We hadn't driven very far,
There in the road, straight up ahead,
A car was stalled, the engine was dead.

I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right,
I'll never forget the sound that night.
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass,
The painful scream that I heard last...

When I woke up, the rain was pouring down,
There were people standin' all around.
Something warm going through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.

I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darlin' just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss,
I found the love that I knew I had missed.

Well now she's gone, even though I hold her tight,
I lost my love, my life that night.

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

Lucille lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by Kenny Rogers)

In a bar in Toledo
Across from the depot
On a bar stool, she took off her ring

I thought I'd get closer
So I walked on over
I sat down and asked her her name

When the drinks finally hit her
She said "I'm no quitter,
But I finally quit living on dreams.
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after,
I'm after whatever the other life brings."

In the mirror I saw him
And I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place

He came to the woman
Who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face

His big hands were calloused
He looks like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking
His big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said:

"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille,
With four hungry children and crops in the field.
And I've had some bad times and lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurting won't heal.
You've picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille."

After he left us,
I ordered more whiskey.
I thought how she made him look small.

From the lights of the bar room
To a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all.

No, she was a beauty
But when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind,
'Cause I couldn't hold her
The words that he told
Kept coming back time after time.

"You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille,
With four hungry children and crops in the field.
And I've had some bad times and lived through some sad times,
But this time the hurting won't heal.
You've picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.

Oh, you've picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille."

Slow Show lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
A little more stupid, a little more scared
Every minute more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today
Everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
Way out of sync from the beginning

I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God, I'm very, very frightening, I'll overdo it

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
And not thinking of my dick?

My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
From one side of it to the other

I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God I'm very, very frightening, I'll overdo it

You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years

You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years

Bottom Of The World lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

My daddy told me, lookin back,
The best friend you'll have is a railroad track
So when I was 13 I said, I'm rollin' my own
And I'm leavin' Missouri and I'm never comin' home

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Satchel Puddin' and Lord God Mose
Sitting by the fire with a busted nose
That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare
But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain
The moon's the color of a coffee stain
jesse Frank and Birdy Joe Hoaks
But who is the king of all these folks?

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron
On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan
Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel
And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Well God's green hair is where I slept last
He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird
And when I wanna talk
He hangs on every word

And I'm lost
And I'm lost
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
And I'm lost at the bottom of the world

Dead Flowers lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by The Rolling Stones)

Well, when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well, you're sitting back
In your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the US mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No I won't forget to put roses on your grave

The Great Escape lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by Patrick Watson)

Bad day, looking for a way home,
looking for the great escape.
Gets in his car and drives away,
to all the things that we are.
Puts on a smile and breathes it in
and breathes it out, he says,
bye bye - bye to all of the noise.
Oh, he says, bye bye - bye to all of the noise.

Ooh oh oh oh oh ooh
Ooh oh oh oh ooh ooh ooh
[x2]

Hey child, things are looking down.
That's okay, you don't need to win anyways.
Don't be afraid, just eat up all the gray
and it will fade all away.
Don't let yourself down.

Ooh oh oh oh oh ooh
Ooh oh oh oh ooh ooh ooh
[x2]

Bad day, looking for the great escape.
He says, bad day, looking for the great escape.
On a bad day, looking for the great escape,
The great escape.

Lève Les Voiles lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

Lève les voiles, ô voilier blanc
Mais lève au vent qui tourne
Lève les voiles sur d’autres chemins
Rêvant de voir la fin

Tombée d’étoiles, cette nuit qui chante
De vivre au gré du temps

Mais lève les voiles, ô voilier blanc
Mais lève quand tourne le vent

Adieu lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

Tu ris si mal, tu ris de vide
Des taches de vin sur ta chemise
Qui à deux boutons éclatait
Sur ton corps qui me repoussait

Tu fais l’amour en deux poussées
Blâmant le manque, la tournée
Et pendant que tu t’articules
Moi je soupire et toi

Tu me menaces de partir
Parce que je hurle quand
Tu chantes tes souvenirs

Eh bien, chéri, prends donc la porte
Car tu sais que plus rien ne m’importe

Mais dis-moi adieu demain
Mais dis-moi adieu en chemin
Va voir les autres, je n’en pense rien
Je t’ai aimé, mais je t’assure que c’est la fin

Crois-tu pouvoir enfin me dire
Que tu veux bien qu’on reste amis
Non, c’est gentil, ça va comme ça
Des amis j’en ai plein déjà

Je n’aurai donc plus à t’entendre
Rentrer la nuit quand j’attends l’aube
Qui arrive en poussant les heures
Moi je me lève et toi

Menaces de partir
Parce que je hurle quand tu chantes tes souvenirs
Eh bien chéri prends donc la porte
Car tu sais que plus rien ne m'importe

Mais dis-moi adieu demain
Dis-moi adieu en chemin
Va voir les autres je n'en pense rien
Je t'ai aimé mais je t'assure que c'est la fin
