Joshua James - The New Love Song



So you say you want a love song,
One to move your feet onto.
I'll sing a real life tune.
So you say you want a love song,
One to trick your girlfriend with.
I hope my little number will do

So 1,2,3
Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohm...

Let's stop our busy lives awhile,
With the many, many people,
Across the many miles of earth,
That have no clothes, no food to eat.

And what about the air we breathe,
To the food we eat,
Are filled with things that kill,
Our deaths are closer than we think.

Well another silly love song could make me sick,
About a stupid emo rocker and his messed up chick.
Who were so deaf, dumb and blind we can't see the candlestick
Burnin' down.

So oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

She woke up on her Monday morn.
It's just another cup of coffee,
In her run down place called home.
She makes her way out to the car.

The radio blares to drown
All the many, many faces in her life,
That at one time cared.
But they have all moved away and gone.

And now to work she goes,
Removing all her clothes
For all the perverse older men in our sickly generation.
But they don't, no they don't give a damn.

Well another silly love song could make me sick,
About a stupid emo rocker and his messed up chick.
Who were so deaf, dumb and blind we can't see the candlestick
Burnin' down.

It's burnin' down... oh oh

So oh oh oh, oh oh oh...

[Said] Open your souls, open your minds,
There's a lot of wonderful people in the world outside

Well another silly love song could make me sick,
I could say hello but I want a conversation.
I could love you 'til I'm dead but how long will I live
'Til I'm down.
I'm burnin down.
Oohh oohhh oh oh oh oh.

If I wrote it in your letter then it don't mean shit
I am a liar, a dirty wire
You could name my body but it'll make you sick
You have a savior it's your heart of anger

But my dog ain't nothin', he ain't nothin' like my lover
Ain't nothin' like my lover at all
He will sit upon my shoulder, let the dark day cover
The dark day cover me up

I've got two half dollars underneath my bed
One for my baby, one for the lady
On the sixth floor found me when my mind was dead
Buy what they tell you but I'm here to save you

But my dog ain't nothin', he ain't nothin' like my lover
Ain't nothin' like my lover at all
He will sit upon my shoulder, let the dark day cover
The dark day cover me up

I heard a lady singing,
We're all bound together! la la la la la
I joined her side by saying,
To dance beneath the heavens! la la la la la, la la la la la,
la la la la la la la la laaahh ohh.

Christ, your mother's hanging on my bedroom door
I'll bet she's pretty, Queen of the City
If you burn all sinners I could join your corp.
And sing HOLY, HOLY till my day of glory

But my Lord ain't nothin', you ain't nothin' like my lover
Ain't nothin' like my lover at all
You could sit upon my shoulder, let the dark day cover
The dark day cover me up
