The Sisters Of Mercy Jolene


Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene



Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can

Jolene, Jolene

Not only was this one of the best covers the Sisters did (and they did loads), I liked Eldritch's rationale behind it... "an abrogation of the duty of the frontman to go out there and say girls, suck my d**k"

Class in a f***ing glass. Remain to me the greatest band of all time.

Excellent cover, thank's for posting.

I think whoever is taking his man should fear for their lives :|

It looks like this picture was taken in the States. Damn shame they haven't come back here in so long, I'd drive all the fxcking way to Detroit too, if they'd come around.

Something amusing listening to Andrew sing about a girl that he can't compete with trying to steal his man xD Love it

[MrSornoshadow]

@bloderme ??Probleme mit Schwulen, Süßer??

[bloderme]

Andrew warum singst du uber eine Frau versucht, Ihren Mann wegzunehmen? Wollen Sie uns etwas mitteilen? Und beenden Sie Ihren Kopf rasieren, du siehst wie ein Homosexuell Mann auf Castro Street.

[siouxsieandziggy]
