I enjoyed last weeks singing only session so much that I thought I'd do it again!
This week I chose come pick me up by Ryan Adams from his debut solo album 'Heartbreaker'. I recently started listening to the album after listening to this track from a curated playlist. It's a great album and still sounds really fresh after 17 years.
I suppose there's no expiration date on good songs!
Lyrics
When they call your name
Will you walk right up?
With a smile on your face?
Will you cower in fear?
In your favorite sweater
With an old love letter
I wish you would
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would
When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear
And the mannequins eyes
Do they all look like mine
You know you could
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
Behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would
I wish you'd make my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you'll rest sometime
Oh, I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I could
I would have liked the backing track without the backing vocal attached but I wasn't really in the mood to request a custom edit - who knows what they'd charge?!
Thanks for listening.
