11. When the levee breaks

Artist: A Perfect Circle
Album: eMOTIVE
Track 11: When the levee breaks
________________________________________
If it keeps on raining,
levee's going to break,
If it keeps on raining,
levee's going to break,
And the water gonna come in,
have no place to stay

Well all last night I
sat on the levee and moan,
Well all last night I
sat on the levee and moan,
Thinking about my baby and my happy home,

If it keeps on raining,
levee's going to break,
If it keeps on raining,
levee's going to break,
And all these people
have no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do?,
Now look here mama what am I to do?,
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to

I works on the levee
mama both night and day,
I works on the levee
mama both night and day,
I ain't got nobody,
keep the water away

Oh crying won't help you,
praying won't do no good,
Oh crying won't help you,
praying won't do no good,
When the levee breaks, mama,
you got to lose

I works on the levee,
mama both night and day,
I works on the levee,
mama both night and day,
I works so hard, to keep the water away

I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me,
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me,
I'm going back to my used to be

It's a mean old levee,
cause me to weep and moan
It's a mean old levee,
cause me to weep and moan
Gonna leave my baby,
and my happy home

Just as 90% of all music will at some point undeservingly be referred to as "emo", 90% of political figures will be compared to Hitler.

No one said it made any sense, but it sure as fuck is easy to insult something when you use the same bull shit over and over again....

"Omg APC is like death cab for cutie".

I'm all for having an opinion, but

WHAT. THE. FUCK?

[OriginalityImpaired]

@realhardheaded

Because regurgitating the same thing over and over is less interesting than presenting it in an entirely new way?

[jitrif]

@holyise Sounds pretty damn good to me. The original is amazing, and this is a completely different style for the song that can't even be compared.

[holyise]

I really dont like what they did to this song. i think 99% of the other versions ive heard were better. I love apc but they screwed up this one.

@knacksahut just google it im sure it will have the lyrics, then you can print them off or save them what ever you want to do.

@skdjhfkdhfa The thing APC plays in this song as a genre is called "Alternative Jazz"

[knacksahut]

If someone could do a lyrics to the song I'd be thankful, I want to sing along so much and I don't really get the order of the lyrics.

[creativewriter1000]

I'm in love. This song is so relaxing

[RandomShellAccount]

If anyone compares APC to "Death Cab For Cutie" in my presence, I swear to God I'm going to punch them hard in the face.

[Luciffrit]

@skdjhfkdhfa A simple understanding will solve this. The cow-eyed-cannon-fodder which makes up the general populous are dumb and you shouldn't pay them any mind. Just feed them, cloth them and let them step on life's landmines for you. ^^

[SlipknotMetal101]

Just shut up and listen to the heavenly music, we don't need to fucking be talking about "emos". The song isn't even about it. Nexxtt.
