Elliott Smith - Yer Blues (Beatles cover)

Roseland theater 2001
Yes I'm lonely
wanna die
Yes I'm lonely
wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why

In the morning
wanna die
In the evening
wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why

My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why

The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bones
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.

Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Wanna die yeah wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why

Let's put this to bed. This is a good cover and he sings it nice, but.......

No one sings like John Lennon. He was one of the finest rock n roll vocalists of all time. No denying it.

His voice is not too weak for this tune.

@MrMagneticfields You're wrong.

Elliott is the fifth Beatle. Period.

I have his complete discography (at least I thought I did), my biggest inspiration/favorite music that ever lived, and now I finally found a song that I haven't heard. Absolutely amazing. Thank you.
