Jeff Buckley- Nightmares by the Sea

Jeff Buckley- Nightmares by the Sea. From the album Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk(1998).

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons
Little girl wants to make her home with him
In the middle of the shore, she wonders

"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go

I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all
From their coral graves, they rise up when darkness falls
With their bones they'll scratch the window, I hear them call

"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."
"Don't know what you asked for."

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go

Stay with me under these waves, tonight
Be free for once in your life tonight

Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where you'll go.

JB means Jeff Buckley, not justin bieber.

@november191968 I like to think Jeff's free spirit merely melted into those troubled waters and he's still very much alive today, even if it's just in our imaginations and memories. It sure was a tragic death. All I can say is that the brightest candles burn out faster than the rest. Rest in peace, Jeff. We love ya.

This guy puts the shit on my Ipod to shame.

Why is it always the dead ones that fucking rule?

awesome song

[NovaScotiaChick]

Interesting beat, but I don't hear Jeff's voice enough.

The other jb, the little one, is very content with getting so much attention on so many artists' pages that have nothing to do with him AT ALL.

If you can't stand him, you don't even want to see his name, yikes.

I certainly find it repulsive.

Please take the little tyke away from pages like this!

Katatonia have made a great cover of this song!

@Mrslunaticmango it's no prob man it just pisses me off seeing beiber's name getting mentioned on all the good songs on here there's still great bands and musicians going now as I said there not mainstream here's just a few good ones you might like and I'm sorry for biting your head off it's just hearing or reading his name angers me (Selah Sue)(Serina Williams )(russian red)(eisley)(Lykke Li)(silversun pickups) there just the poppy types I like, I'm into pretty much all genres

@wipers86

Honestly, I can't understand where all that rudeness came from.

I wrote that comment after a disappointing day at school -

I wrote JB in my notebook and half of the girls in my class were sure that I'm a bieber fan. I didn't mean it to become a top comment, and I'm not moaning that there's no real music these days because a big amount of the musicians I like still make music these days.

(sorry if I have any grammar or spelling mistakes, English is not my main language)

[wipers86]

@Mrslunaticmango JB also stands for Jeff Beck so shut the fuck up if you wanna slag Bieber off go on his fucking video's and leave his name out of the comments for fuck sake compliment Jeff buckley you wouldn't see people writing jeff buckley on Justin Bieber's video's so why do it here people like you are so annoying moaning that there's no real music actually there is it isn't commercial anymore

[absurdstunts]

@Mrslunaticmango Bieber fans would never be on this page. This is real music.

I was eating at a little cafe in 97' when one of my little girlfriends came in to tell me Jeff Buckley drowned. I felt like someone just cut my throat. Dirty, nasty river!
