The Jesus and Mary Chain Album

I had trouble but I found my star
I found myself an electric guitar
Well I was some kind of messed up kid
Now look what you did
Look what you did
You made me, yeah
You make me, yeah

Well I'm not preaching or making a case
I'm not trying to make the world a better place
Well I ain't evil, but I ain't good
I did what I could
I did what I could
To save me, yeah
To save me, yeah

I love rock'n'roll
I love what I'm do-ooing
I need rock'n'roll
Gets me where I'm going

Don't need money if you've got soul
And it don't matter if you're young or you're old
Well I don't worry what the people say
They say what they say
I go my own way
But that's me, yeah
It suits me, yeah

I love rock'n'roll
I love what I'm do-ooing
I love rock'n'roll
Gets me where I'm going

Don't need anyone
Don't need anything
Don't need anybody
I need rock'n'roll

Everybody loves me goes away
And I'd kill myself if that would make them stay
And I'm drinking to the day that I was made
And I'm sucking on my grown-ups lemonade

Yeah I'm a mean motherfucker now but I once was cool
Yeah I'm a bad motherfucker now but I once was cool
And I was born a long time ago today
And everybody loves me goes away

And it's Christmas time again
Yeah it's Christmas time again
And it's Christmas time again again and again

In my head
In my head
Am I dead
In my head

Curse the light that laughter shines on me
And I couldn't care if I'm never on TV
I'm fine and fit, I'm wasted, and I'm free
And everybody loves me lets me be

Yeah I'm a mean motherfucker now but I once was cool
Yeah I'm a bad motherfucker now but I once was cool
And I was born a long time ago today
And everybody loves me goes away

And it's Christmas time again
Yeah it's Christmas time again
And it's Christmas time again again and again

In my head
In my head
Am I dead
In my head

In my head
In my head
Am I dead

I was just a teenage jesus freak
Got drunk on punk and then I found my feet
Tried to make a mad man sane
But I jumped aboard his psychopathic train

You gotta try some
You better try some

Velvet skies and the Velvet Underground
I was lost but now I know I'm found
I don't need no way rainy day
All I really need is Sister Ray

You gotta try some
You better try some

Stardusted coming on
Stardusted coming on

Sister loves my noise distorted soul
Mister brother leather plays his role
What became of the teenage jesus freak
He's still making noise and making heat

Elvis lives and Bob Dylan is dead
And OJ's wife's crawling back from the dead
Love is great
Oh yeah love is good
And my bed friend thinks that love is food

God is great
Oh yeah God is good
And my friend Ben thinks that beer is food

He's alright
Oh yeah he's okay
He can't stand the pain

Don't you know I can be seen
And life is much too tough
Don't you know I can be seen
And I ain't tough enough

You know I think it's time you gave the girl a chance
You know she don't need love and she don't need no romance
You've got to walk before you run
You've got to live for number one
Don't get up for her 'cause you're going down

And if you make a deal you know she's got to have her say
And if you make a deal you know it's got to be her way
We're all f**ked up but it don't show
Tell me something I don't know
Uh huh

You know I think it's time you gave the girl a line
You know she don't know how but she knows it'll work out fine
She's gonna walk before you walk
She's gonna shout before you talk
Give her one good reason why she should hang around

Ahuh

And if you make a deal you know she's got to have her say
And if you make a deal you know it's got to be her way

Couldn't tell a spike from a pin but I could run forever
Christ knows if I'm done
Well he's the only one
Open up and tell me you know that I could run forever

We know that we've blown the past
Maybe we could change the future
Don't think twice and don't look back
Maybe if we run then maybe we could run forever

I think I'm going back to school
'Cause I'm tired of being a fool
And I'm tired of playing it cool

Why don't you pour me out a glass of wine
Why don't you pour me out

In the days before America

In the days before Rolling Stones
In the days before speech
Everybody hates the President
Everybody loves the Queen

I think I've known it with a smile
I think I'm going home

Come visit soon
Sure gets lonely living here on the moon
I've got a tale to tell
About my planetary prison cell
We could shoot the breeze
Go out walking in the godless freeze
I've got a mind to kill
But there's no people here so it's no thrill

But I can't find the sky
I can't find the sea
I can't find the people
I guess the people can't find me

Solitary space
I've been staring at the mirror's face
Another perfect day
It means nothing when you live this way

But I guess it's alright
I guess it's okay
I guess it's alright
I guess it's got to be this way

Come visit soon
Sure gets lonely living here on the moon

And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black

Turn the good thing back
Kiss the good thing back
Make the good thing back
Be the good thing back

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong
Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong

And the black runs deep
Yeah the black runs deep
I guess the black runs deep
I think the black runs deep

Nothing here belongs

No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Hey you've been saved

What do you want if you don't want love
Why do you want
What you thinking of
My love or money
Well it just ain't enough
What do you want if you don't want love

You make me pay and pay
I gave it all away
I gave it all
I bleed for you
I've been looking for an ideal sound
I've been looking for an ideal you

But you don't exist
But you don't exist

What do you want if you don't want love
Why do you want
What you thinking of

But you don't exist
But you don't exist

My dirty money well there just ain't enough
What do you want if you don't want love
I've been pissed on, now I'm confused
I've been beaten, truly abused
I gave my soul away and had it refused
Well that's the only part that you haven't used

A hey hey hey
