i wish it was me, sweetheart Letra

There's always somebody taller

With more of a wit

And he's equipped to enthrall her

And her friends think he's fit

And you just can't measure up no

You don't have a prayer

Wishing that you'd made the most of her

When she was there

They've got engaged

There's no intention of a wedding

He's pinched your bird

And he'd probably kick your head inBigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts

You're better off without her anyway

You said you wasn't sad to see her go

Yeah, but I know you were thoughBet you don't know what she's upto

You can only assume

She's not on't front of the shops then

They've gone to his room

Bet she's gone round in her school stuff

I Bet that's what he likes

I bet you thought she was different

And you thought she was niceBut she's not nice

She's pretty fucking far from nice

She's looking at you funny

Rarely looking at you twiceBigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts

Oh, you're better off without her anyway

You said you wasn't sad to see her go

Yeah but it's clear you were thoughHave you heard what she's been doing?

Never did it for me

He picks her up at the school gate

At twenty past three

She's been with all the boys but

Never went very far

And she wagged English and Science

Just to go in his carThey've got engaged

There's no intention of a wedding

He's pinched me bird

And he'd probably kick my head in, oh

Now the girls have grown

Yeah but I'm sure that they still carry on in similar waysBigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts

So, I'm better off without her anyway

I'm in love with you.

Mm, let me hear ya say

that you love me too.

Keep the love-light glowin'

in your eyes so true.

Cause . . .

Well rumor has it so they say

She was broke down on the highway

She was checkin' it out

She was underneath the hood

When up rolled some country boys up to no good and makin' noise

To help the lady out like a good ole boy should

The two came up on each side and said

Hey honey you want a ride

One winked and the other gave her a little pinch

And so the story goes she hauled off and broke his nose

With her daddy's diamond horseshoe monkey wrenchShe's a high-stakin', heart breakin', absolutely breath- takin',

Make no mistakin', she's mighty hard of holdin', many cowboys tried, many a cowboy dang near died

She's no sweetheart of the rodeoWell pretty girls these days get straight on top in so many ways

Things in show biz and those glamour magazines

Nah she's not one to befriend the latest so called fashion trend

She just naturally looks fine in those tight blue jeansShe's a high-stakin', heart breakin', absolutely breath- takin',

Make no mistakin', she's mighty hard of holdin', many cowboys tried, many a cowboy dang near died

She's no sweetheart of the rodeoNo she's no sweetheart of the rodeo

Boys you been warned so now you know

So straighten up and act your age

You'll be lookin' down the barrel

Of her daddy's 12 guageShe's a high-stakin', heart breakin', absolutely breath- takin',

Make no mistakin', she's mighty hard of holdin', many cowboys tried, many a cowboy dang near died

She's no sweetheart of the rodeoLord she's a high-stakin', heart breakin', absolutely breath- takin',

Make no mistakin', she's mighty hard of holdin', many cowboys tried, many a cowboy dang near died

She's no sweetheart of the rodeo

No she's no sweetheart of the rodeo

Two by two, they go marching through,

The sweethearts on parade

I can't help crying as they pass me by,

The sweethearts on parade

I'd love to join them but,

But they, they go by me,

Cause it takes more than one to join their, their army

How I pine just to fall in line

With the sweethearts on parade

Love is an eternity's sweetheart

out of lips

half empty bed

shade of smile

reflected hug

natural touch

behind words

like Eve's plate

celebration of time

Love is an eternity's sweetheart

Still believing

Touch the fragile Flesh

Like a gentle wind on your face

Every hour should be our grace

Till exileAnticipating eyes peer

They have a lot of time

And he...

He's eternity's sweetheart tooI spell, I heal, I kneel

Under your gate

I'm writing, I'm painting, I'm walking

On your skin

Calming, sleeping, breathing

With your breath

Touching, Moving, Feeding

On your fleshThe second misgiving came

From the lusty sea and sand of shyness

Here's man last stand

Omnivorous lifeThe sparkling flame of hope in heart

My false indemnity

Is that peace and love (that) came to my room?Give me the nails

I'll pin them down to their cross

I'll keep them here for all eternityI see, I hear, I feel

Through my soul

I know, I saw, I go

With your love

Mark my words, this night is far from it's end

Please, spare me your threats and your useless remarks

Go ahead, I dare you!

Take one step closer to this gap baby! I'll show you what I mean!

I can't let fear get the best of me right now

Keep smiling and soon you will pay!Close your eyes and let your mind escape into a world of dreams

I won't wake you

Close your eyes and keep them shut

The next part isn't going to be a very pretty sight

Forget about tonight, tomorrow will be here so soon

And we'll be busy singing, the wicked witch is dead!

Once upon a time seems so like a fairy tale, I guess

For us it's trueWho's laughing now?

Blood pours from her dry mouth as she begs for mercy

Oh, how she screams!

If you think you'll win my forgiveness

Awww, sweetheart, you're sadly mistaken!

You shouldn't have brought us! You shouldn't have hurt us!

You have not one clue what you've started but trust me

You'll know when I'm finished!

(Its time, baby!)Close your eyes and let your mind escape into a world of dreams

I won't wake you

Close your eyes and keep them shut

The next part isn't going to be a very pretty sight

Forget about tonight, tomorrow will be here so soon

And we'll be busy singing, the wicked witch is dead!

Once upon a time seems so like a fairy tale, I guess

For us it's trueYou'd better run faster than that

I know you're feeling scared but so am I

Don't you dare turn around, hold on as tight as you can!

I know that you're afraid but so am I

There's no time for tears, run till you can't feel your legs!Close your eyes

Forget about tonight, tomorrow will be here so soon

And we'll be busy singing, the wicked witch is dead!

Once upon a time seems so like a fairy tale, I guess

For us it's trueLook who's laughing now!

Blood pours from her dry mouth as she begs for mercy

If you think you'll win my forgiveness

Awww. Sweetheart, you're sadly mistaken!

(It's time, baby!)

Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know

I was only pretending, you know

I was only pretending, you know

You see I take a little trip in my old field road

Down the Louisiana swamp to Beinja Bayo

The prettiest site I ever did see was the Cajun girls

On them awesome treesRaw fish boilin' on an open fire

Cajun fiddled them an old guitar

People all a-comin' from near and far

To drink their tea from a old fruit jarAnd I call my fightin' alligator

All the way don't you know

For my sweetheart of Beinja BayouHer brown eyes sparkled

And her hair was long

I asked her to dance to a Cajun song

My heart was a fire and I am runnin' wild

I never had seen such a pretty smileSo what's you name

Oh honey, I gotta know

My sweetheart of Beinja Bayou

'Cos daylights are comin'

And I've gotta go

Back up the river in my old field roadShe is my sweetheart of Beinja Bayou

Got a hold on my mind as she won't let go

I think about her from dust till dawn

Her lips are sweeter than honey in a combAnd I'll fight an alligator

All the way don't you know

For my sweetheart of Beinja BayouShe is my sweetheart of Beinja Bayou

Got a hold in my mind as she won't let go

I think about her from dust till dawn

Her lips are sweeter than honey in a combAnd I'll fight an alligator

All the way don't you know

For my sweetheart of Beinja BayouBoy, as I wave half water all the way don't you know

Well I'ma going back to Beinja Bayou

Come on

Once I had a sweetheart and now I have none

He's gone and leave me, he's gone and leave me

He's gone and leave me to sorrow and moan.

Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see

My own precious jewel sat smiling by me

My own precious jewel sat smiling by me And when I awakened I found it not so

My eyes like some fountain with tears overflow

My eyes like some fountain with tears overflow. I'll venture through England, through France and through Spain

All my life I will venture the watery main

All my life I will venture the watery main.

and progression between chorus and verse:We walk hand in hand 'til life does us part

Me and the world, my scum sweetheart

We met long ago with a flirt and a stare

Together ever since, a lethal love affair

I tried to get out, to get up and go

I was afraid of the fall, the vertigo

You made me suffer, guilt was your game

You had control of what I became

A rotten romance if I'd stayed I'd die

T'was a fond farewell when I said goodbye

Now I'm free, on solid ground

No more of you pushing me aroundYou're my scum sweetheart

You're the world, you broke my heart

You're my scum sweetheart

You're the world, you broke my heart

You're the world, full of lies

How could I think of compromise?

It seems to me a solitaire affair

I was in need, but you didn't care

Please stay away, heartbreaker

You're not gonna be my soul taker

I've got friends that wanna see you

They'd stay away if they had a clue

-Repeat chorus-It's a black heart that I see

It's evil, it's bad and all in between

Whatever it is I'll do my part

To keep you from being their scum sweetheart

-Repeat chorus-

If your heart tells you so

That you should leave me

Don't try to forget

You and I never metAnd before you fly

One kiss should tell me why

You've forgotten all the words

That you once saidLong as I've got you

There beside me

As long as you're there

To stand and guide me

The love we share no one

Can ever tear apartLong as I've got this life I'm living

Long as it's you the love I'm with then

I'll keep on calling you sweetheartIf my love for you

Can't make you happy

Just open the door

And you won't see me anymoreAnd before you fly

One kiss should tell me why

You've forgotten all the words

That you once saidLong as I've got you

There beside me

As long as you're there

To stand and guide me

The love we share no one

Can ever tear apartLong as I've got this life I'm living

Long as it's you the love I'm with then

I'll keep on calling you sweetheart

And I'll keep on calling you sweetheart

Mmm, why dontcha let me call you sweetheart?

I'm in love with you.

Mm, let me hear ya say

that you love me too.

Keep the love-light glowin'

in your eyes so true.

Cause . . .

You told me that your love was true

Sweetheart, I thought the world of you

But now you left me all alone

I have no one to call my ownNow sweetheart, you've done me wrong

You have left me all alone

Maybe there will come a time

Sweetheart, when you will change your mindI never shall forget the day

When you said you were going away

I couldn't believe that it was true

After all the love I had for youThis road is rough and rocky too

As I travel on, dear, without you

But I'm still praying for the time

Sweetheart when you will change your mind

Hello, it's Pablo. Your brother; Pablo.

Sorry for calling this late

but it suddenly hit me that I miss you so much

and you're too far away from me.

I never told you how much I love you,

and everybody needs a brother like you.

So goodnight, dear brother.

Goodnight, sweet brother,

and thank you, brother, for helping me out,

goodnight.Hello, it's Pablo. Sorry for calling again.

Do you remember when I dreamed about witches?

Woke you up asking if I could sleep in your bed

and you said, "there are plenty of spaces

so goodnight, sweet brother.

Goodnight, dear brother

and take my hand if you dream about witches, goodnight."My brother went to Stockholm and I went crazy.

I thought I could make it all by myself,

but things have changed slowly.

Now I'm in a mess.

I wish you could bless me

like you've blessed me before.

So goodnight, dear brother.

Goodnight, sweet brother

and thank you, brother, for helping me out.

So goodnight, dear brother.

Goodnight, sweet brother.

Goodnight, dear brother.

Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

You may be sorry

For what you've done

To my poor heart;

And you may regret

Those vows that you've broken,

And the things that you did to me

That made us drift apart.Oh, you're happy now,

And you can't see how

Those weary blues

Will ever come to you;

But as you sow,

So shall you reap, dear;

And what you reap

Will gonna make you weep,

Someday, sweetheart!Someday, sweetheart,

Oh you're gonna be sorry, oh yes1

That we have to part.

You know I've loved you

From the start,

You'll rue the day,

And blue is the day

You break my heart.
