Christmas Song lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
She was his girl, he was her boyfriend
Soon to be his wife, take him as her husband
A surprise on the way, any day, any day
One healthy little giggling, dribbling baby boy
The Wise Men came, three made their way
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love, love, love
Love love, love
Love, love was all around
Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary who for a reasonable fee
Less than reputable as known to be
His heart was full of love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed to the his tree
Said "Oh, Daddy-o, I can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I spill the blood of our children all around."
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children's all around
So the story goes, so I'm told
The people he knew were
Less than golden-hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers
All soul searchers
Like you and me
Like you and me
Rumors insisted he soon would be
For his deviations taken into custody
By the authorities, less informed than he
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Searching for love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around
Preparations were made
For his celebration day
He said, "Eat this bread, think of it as me
Drink this wine and dream it will be
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children's all around"
Father up above
Why in all this anger do you fill me up with love, love, love?
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around
Father up above
Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with love?
Fill me love, love, yeah
Love, love, love
Love, love, and the blood of our children all around
I'll Back You Up lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would like to dance
Around the world with me
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
Minarets lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Santa Maria
Choose your children
Santa Maria
Virgin child
All our wars
Over you we are fighting
And all our time
Faith justifying
Brother caged
Babylon will fall
Sister chained and bound
Beaten and bleeding
The TV's on
To me this explains it
Wearing a tie
Like Daddy speaks it
Screaming from the minarets
And, later on, we'll all be dancing
Screaming from the minarets
Yes, indeed, and making faces
Rain on the ground in a space, God has grown
Alone 'til a man, looking glass in his hand
He is holding up to you
What you see, what you see, what you see
What you see is human
What you see, what you see, what you see
What you see is human
What you see, what you see, what you see
What you see is human, yeah
Screaming from the minarets
One Sweet World lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Nine planets around the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much we take for granted
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
If green should turn to grey
Would our hearts still bloody beat?
If the mountains tumble away, the river dry
Would it stop the stepping feet?
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury here
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we can rest safely
One sweet world
Around a star is spinning
One sweet world
And in her breath, I'm swimming
And here I will rest in peace
Recently lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Recently, I've been
All of content and dreaming, I have been
'Cause I been lately seeing
Quite a bit of this woman live on my street
People stare and we just ignore
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away
Well, she comes to me, I watch her drink
I watch her comb her hair
Both say that we, oh, never before have
Felt as recently
People stare and we just ignore
"What's the use in hiding out?"
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about it
Well, she and me go to places quiet
Where we are quite alone
We kiss and we hold together
We will be until we're done
People stare and we just ignore
"What's the use in hiding out?"
She says all the time
Let their eyes do that
Walk and talk, we both do quite well
And kissing all the time, kissing all the time
And I'm looking forward to much more
Both say that we never before
Never before have felt as recently
People stare and we just ignore
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away, go away, go away
People stare and we just ignore
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away
People stare and we just ignore
"What's the use in hiding out?"
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about it
And hurrying about it
Seek Up lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Sometimes, I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Oh, life, it seems a struggle between what we think, what we see
I'm not going to change my ways just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud, willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong, ashes to ashes, all fall down
I look around about this round about this merry-go-round around
If at all God's gaze upon us fall, his mischievous grin, look at him
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Oh, sit a while with TV's hungry child, big belly swelled
Oh, for a price of a Coke or a smoke, keep alive those hungry eyes
Take a look at me, what you see in me, mirror look at me
Face it all, face it all again
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, I am innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion and our cup is overflowing
You see up an emotion, sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster for him to fight your wars for you
But when he find his way to you, the devil's not going
Ha, ha
Ha, ha
Say
Oh, say
Look at me and my fancy car and my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down into my grave, I'd save
Take a look again, take a look again, take a look again
Everyday things change, basically they stay the same
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked, don't be tricked into thinking so
Soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion and your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion, sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not going
Ha, ha
Ha, ha
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
The Fly lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
When I pull the wings off of the fly
Fly never wonders why I did it
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did
You know, they didn't ever have to love me
No, no, no and no one will ever love them now
Oh, oh, but they
They always wanted somehow to save me
Why, oh, why
For pity's sake, they should have saved themselves
Oh, oh, but you
You always said I never missed a note
I only ever wanted to be with you
I only wanted someone to play
Play play play
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why
You know, they never really ever have to love me no, no, no
But no one will ever love them now
They always thought that somehow they could save me
Why, oh, why
For pity's sake, they should have saved themselves
Oh, oh, but you
You always said I never missed a note
And nobody ever knew me like you do
You do
You always said it's going to be okay
Okay
I only ever really wanted to be with you
I only wanted someone to play
Play play play
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did it
The Song That Jane Likes lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again, hey
Would you like to play
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage?
While you lie around
With your hands up and down
So resigned you will fall down
While you around here play
Wild on the warm and far away
While you around here play, the days
Keep scribbling themselves in tidy lines
Would you like to play
With a fool holding hands?
With a one-eyed jack of spades?
While on the deck they sing
All of the captain's cards are kings
Still he and the queen are lost at sea
I hope it isn't you and me
And I'll be back 'round again
Yes, I'll walk in time with you, old friend
And we'll find that place
That we had danced in so long ago
And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
With this resigned
The letter, I sign
