Somebody's Baby - Lestats Coffee House 7/27

Jon Foreman performs his song 'Somebody's Baby' at Lestats Coffee House on July 27, 2007.

In the beginning I requested the song, so he asked me my name... hehe :]

Lyrics (credit to landofbrokenhearts.org)

She screams.
She yelled if you're homeless,
Sure as hell you'd be drunk,
High or trying to get there,
Begging for junk.
And the people don't want you,
They just throw you money for beer.

Her name was November,
She went by Autumn or Fall,
It's been 7 long years since the autumn when
All of her nightmares grew fingers
And all of her dreams grew tears.

- Chorus -

She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
And she's somebody's baby still

She yells, well if you've never gone it alone,
Well you go ahead, do better, throw the first stone,
You got one lonely stoner,
Waiting, to bring to her knees.

She dreams about heaven, remembering hell,
As the nightmare she visits and knows all too well,
Every now and again when she's sober, she brushes her teeth.

Today was her birthday, strangely enough
When the cops found her body at the foot of a bluff
The anonymous caller this morning tipped off the police.
They got her ID from the dental remains
The same fillings intact, the same nicotine stains
The birth and the death were both over
With no one to grieve

[xdreamingoutloud]

heh. sorry

[Sprigdrake]

"I gave my love a cherry, that had no stone. I gave my love a chicken that had no bone..."

That's what this fool has done to musicians everywhere.

[xdreamingoutloud]

i'm afraid i don't understand.

[BagelsGuitarist]

i could try to describe this song, but there isn't an adjective in the english language, or any language for that matter, that would do this song justice.

[OJ4switchfoot]

my favorite jon song.

easily. no contest.

except your love is strong comes sorta close

aaaaaagh but that last verse is what seals the deal for me. it kills me inside every time i hear it, even now

[leahcoldplay]

if i was Gabby, i'd be crying.

[DTdall88]

the music you listen to probably has no meaning in the lyrics or thought. i'm pretty sure family guy was making fun of idiots like john mayer who sing about nothing.

this man expresses thought, faith, and love in his lyrics.

[xdreamingoutloud]

what the ? wow (:

[king7wood]

Pretty cool...

[toyoubecritic1]

No doubt. Didnt family guy say something about what douche bags did to the guitar? Oh my hair it grows and grows.

[cshaw419]

kill me now before i remember watching this...
