"Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" (Nico 1st album _Chelsea Girl_ version) Wrap your troubles in dreams send them all away Put them in a bottle and across the seas they'd stay Speak not of misfortune speak not of your woes Just steer yourself a Holy death crouching by the door Ride and sway to music's pain searing with the sides Caress it with a lover's touch for it shall be your bride Wrap your troubles in dreams send them all away Put them in a bottle and across the seas they'd stay Slash the golden whip, it slaps across the lover's sides The earth trembles without remorse preparing for to die Salty ocean waves and sprays crashing to the shore Police kick and kill young lads down on bar-room floors Wrap your troubles in dreams send them all away Put them in a bottle and across the seas they'd stay Violence echoes through the land in heart of every man The knife stabs existent wounds pulse runs through meant to tear The gleaming knife cuts early through the midnight air Cutting entrance in its path blood runs without care Excraments filters through the brain hatred bends the spine Filth covers the body pores to be cleansed by dieing time Wrap your troubles in dreams send them all away Put them in a bottle and across the seas they'd stay intro {Em/Am.C}{D}{Em/Am.C}{D} {Em/Am.C}{D}{Em/Am.C}{D} (Wrap your troubles in ...) {Em/Am.C}{D}{Am/C.C(bass:b)}{D} (Put them in a bottle ...) {Em/Am.C}{D} {Em/Am.C}{D}{Em/Am.C}{D} (Speak not of misfortune ...) {Em/Am.C}{D}{Am/C.C(bass:b)}{D} (Just steer yourself a ...) {Em/Am.C}{D} .... ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///// transcribed by Shirou Kouchi (wildside@mtci.or.jp) ///////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
