| The Dead Part Of You One of the last songs to be written for Everclear when written in late 1990, most of the other songs from that album are from 1989, and first performed live that December.It was performed live by Mark solo & with AMC fairly consistently up til mid 1996 before being revived again for the AMC reunion shows in 2004. n.b During most of the Spring 1992 European tour Mark's voice was too blown out to sing this so Danny took lead vocals! |
The price of your soul is worth less than the cab fare That gets you home before the living end The dead part of you leaves me with a blessing From a destruction of your beauty Your self-hatred, your self-pity There's so little of you left The dead part of you takes me out And says the beast in me is fading fast And leaves me with a great big goodbye hug It's busy clinging to the dead part of the past You only love one thing And there's so little of it left He has taken everything And there's so little of you left You're just a baby in the back seat That a door slam sends crying into the world And a cab driver's in a hurry that matters more than More than anything we can hope for from the world You only love one thing And there's so little of it left He has taken everything And there's so little of you left |
