The Jayhawks - Trouble (Audio & Lyrics)

From "Sound of Lies".

Trouble, thats what we had
And everything that goes around
Comes around in a bittersweet lament
Well my hearts already broken down
Looking for a sweeter sound
Looking for a brighter day
Im face down on the pavement
Step aside, see the light, close your eyes
And let us live our lives
As the rally round the sinking ship
Looking for a better way
It was just the blind leading the blind

Chorus:
Oooh, yeah
I got my feet back on the ground
Its better than being alone
Its better than being alone
Funny, we tried it all
Standing on the brink
Looking down, down, down
Theres a little bit of truth in every lie
You were so above us all
It was just the blind leading the blind

(Chorus)

We were stranded on the vine
Destitute and shaken
Looking for a sign
Left hung out to dry
Our backs against the wall
Stoned out of our minds

(Chorus)

Shame there isn't any concert footage of this here on YouTube. Great song. it really does sound like it should have been written by John Lennon. There can be no higher praise.

[fransjan70]

Do urself a favor...Buy this album.

[cootaloot]

actually, "sound of lies" is far and away the best jayhawks album, so much more ambitious than the others

[TaTuSpartan]

Kings of Leon status.

[karennorful]

Saw you in a small town in Vermont (Winooski) in the 90's. One of the best sounding bands that I'd ever seen.

Fabulous production..the vocals in the chorus so reminicent of mid-late BeachBoys/Beatles  styling.

I always thought these guys were under-rated by the masses..Oh well, their loss.

[Fogerty34]
