Jewel - Behind The Wall (Last Night)

Coversong : Tracy Chapman

Lyrics :
Last night I heard a screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call
The police always come late,
If they come at all

And last night I heard a screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call
The police always come late,
If they come at all

And when they arrive,
they say they can't interfere with domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walked out the door
The tears were left in her eyes

Last night I heard a screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
I prayed that I was dreaming
When I saw the ambulance in the road
And the policeman said,
"I'm here to keep the peace,
Will the crowd please disperse?
I think we all could use some sleep"

And last night I heard a screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call
The police always come late,
If they come at all

Tracy Chapmn put heart into this song.

Jewel

obviously didnt experience something like this.

[remase73]

Lucky her!

[nikstnblueangel]

wow she did a really good job on this tracy chapman song... i'm impressed.. i was wondering if jewel had ever done a cover of a tc song :D

[remase73]

Don't even know who that is *LOL*

[terminite]

I love Jewel but she should have left it alone and to Tracy

[DEcompanylove08]

ok i love jewel, but she really should leave this song to tracy chapman. it sounds extremely rushed, and i dont think her voice is right for this song.

[Themakeshift1013]

I had a dream of a young woman singing this song aloud while she jogged around my neighborhood telling everyone. Thank you Jewel.

[Rtael]

I have another version of Jewel doing this song...much better...not so much hate, please!

[Swayedable]

@remase73 No she didnt. No soul. She is an "innocent".

[FatherTimeST1300]

I REALLY LOVE JEWEL. -BUT- This is one of the dumbest friggin' songs I have EVER heard. Who are the people screaming in the background? Sounds like it was recorded in a low income housing project. - OR - some red neck bar & grill. Must have been Free Beer Nite. I'm sorry and I love Jewel, but you should never have recorded this dumb shit. Before anyone gives me shit about this, .....

it's my personal opinion. Thank you. Carry on & Ride Safe!  ~All~Knight~Rider~

What the hell have Jewel's jewels and her fashionable make ups got to do with the serious theme of this song??????

[HorgieSmorgie]

No where near as good as Tracu and at one point you hear someone scream Racist...damn.

[maryjoysanderson]

i think its quite good, but Tracy Chapman has a chilling, unique voice which fits this song better than anyone elses could...

[nowhere8]

agreed

[Ken4201]

Awesome version
