the comments here are childish i know wat its like to be drawn by addiction i am one of the many joeys in this song and i fear its way to late to learn the lesson that behind every great man is a better woman who nurses him back to better graces
I looked this up because the latest Starbucks coffee is called Blonde. That reminded me of this band's name. Listening to it I remember it well, just never connected the tune and the name of the band before. Never paid any attention to the lyrics until now either. It's like this song could have been written yesterday. I've known lots of Joeys, now deceased. One was named Jimmy, another Chris. All in San Clemente. All 30 years my junior. Tragic. but this is what capitalism does to people.
funny, thats my name, I came home and my girlfriend of 4 yrs had split with her two kids that called me daddy. Now months later she keeps sending me this video wanting me back. I find myself too many times passed out on the floor. :(
why does everyone on this song have a sad story about a dude named Joey? Mates, enjoy the song, let it wash away the worry about that family member or special someone ;)
i been in love with joey for 33 years and hes at his utter rock bottom now. alchohol delusions...ive learned over time its his problem not mine. but it was good once. joey im not angry anymore. just very very sad.
@ShawdieeMassacre The last person I fell in love with was also a Joey. Im not sure what i did to make him turn in to such a prick himself. When it comes to new relationships I always hold someone that same bar..... no one ever comes close.
joey can be put in as any name you want and relates to you. joey relates to her, josh relates to me :'( i miss my ex... i wish he felt the same. its been so hard.
YOU YOUNGINS GOTTA GO BACK TO THE FORTIES AND WORK YOUR WAY BACK UP TO WHENEVER KEEPS TURNING YOU ON.BUY A GOOD USED STEREO & HEADPHONES.OPEN YOUR HEART AND TALK TO PEOPLE FACE TO FACE!
Funny, my dear friend Joey hated this song. People were always trying to sing it to him. He committed suicide April 1995. I wished he would have listened more closely :(
I absolutely love this song. Thanks for the lyrics since there were 2 words at the beginning I wasn't sure about but now I know them. She has the best and most powerful voice.
Powerful song. It sadly reminds me of my brother and other relatives. Thank you for this posting of the lyrics. I love singing this song. Again, powerful.
I herd this song ..and couldnt stop crying ..my son joey was stabbed 7 xzs by assholes ...my son is blinde & deaf ...why r people so cruell???? And this is a very beautiful song....
Yep love this song and I once dated a guy named Joey who was a real a/hole. In SO many ways. If he were drunk and passed out on the floor I would just pass him by as he was a piece of . . . well I am a lady.
My dad and i have never gotten along...he is an alcoholic and has never shown any interest in wanting to be in my life. I haven't seen him in 4 years. I always thought i "hated him"......i love you dad, this is for you xx

My Dad is an alcoholic too & only weeks before he died after lying down with a second stroke I wanted to tell him how he made mine & my sister's life a hell - Mom was co-addicted and no help - I saw him and how he got his sentence and I forgave him, made peace and let him go. It was his decision to die cause he was half-side lame and couldn't talk anymore - he was like a butterfly never around and couldn't bare to be bedridden - which I totally understand.
Such a good song! I never heard concrete blonde before. My friend and I, went to a karaoke bar 3 nights ago and I heard this lady next to our table sang this song and she got a good voice just like the vocalist since that night the song stuck on my head until I realized I have to find it here on YouTube with the lyrics :) and yes I found it. Thanks for sharing.
its crazy, my sister killed herself 2 years ago and i never knew this song and i had a dream recently of her singing this song the part about all is forgiven, listen, listen. she was looking right at me! wow im totally floored right now!
AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!! her voice is beautiful. This song is one of my favs. i can listen to it over and over with out getting tired of it. <3 thank you Concrete Blonde for this great song.
this song will always have a big impact in my life. grew up listening to it and the memories then..well they come rushing back..thank you concrete blonde, for this beautiful song.
i love this song however wtf does she still want him even though he is an alcholic
