This fantastic song by Jeff Buckley is on the album Sketches for my sweetheart the drunk. Brilliant album.

Lyrics:

Don't you wanna let go of your heart

Or you resist the beds of bliss

Fortune makes fools of us all

My dear materialista, silence was insane

The parting was mutual.

Don't you want the rocket to rock out?

There's room for us both to fly.

Tell the man I'm never coming back again.

Tell the man I'm never coming back again.

Why should you notice at all?

Gone again beside you will fall

Down to the sea out of the skies

Of gold cards and casual tears

I have only come to see you shine

Feminine smiles the right side is wise, more than I.

I wanna be your lover,

Lipstick my name across your mirror

Blood red with flaked gunshot glitter

And be one with all you disown in your young life.

You paranoia politician diva.

You paranoia politician diva.

Will you let go of your heart,

Left behind a hypnotizing swirl

The semi's left behind.

Don't you want to rocket to rock?

There's room for both us to fly

Same show everyday, don't have to blow up in the sky.

So I just came from hick town,

Left my coins behind

Maybe some poor clone's gonna buy himself a line

Why should you care if I crash your affair?

Why should you notice me? I really wanna see you shine.

I wanna be your lover,

Lipstick my name across your mirror

Now, be one with all you disown,

True love has come to us all.

Blinded by the flame, right side smiles,

Organized male, love, my silence was insane.

The parting was mutual the moment I became

A paranoia politician diva.

A paranoia politician diva.

A paranoia politician diva.

A paranoia politician diva.

Diva, diva, diva.

3:01 is an unbelievable high note, it's an Eb6, soprano register! This is beyond a gift...On 4:53 is just an Eb5.

My girlfriend had to go in to work early this morning. I went to take a shower and saw she lipsticked my mirror with a love letter....this is all I could think about when I saw it.

Every time I hear these demos I like to imagine him recording them by himself in a small room.

at least it has to be "organized mayhem". I've always doubted the leaflets one prie example is "So Real" It has many obvious variations from version to version.

3:01 Jeff sings his highest note ever. His highest note is on the B-sides . It's an Eb above the soprano high C!!!! This is coloratura (high agile soprano) territory! It's kind of a squeaky falsetto note- only for a second, but it's technically phenomenal- it sounds like he was just playing around.

This appears on the Japanese and Australian versions of 'Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk'. The Japanese version also has the song "Thousand Fold", which isn't on any other releases.

I was lucky to find this track on my european release.. I fall in love with this song immediately the first time I listened to. I imagined how amazing it had been finished or even live on stage .... saw it in the same range as "KangaRoo" which is one of my favourites in live performances, when Jeff transcendents everything note and through his emotional transe state makes every time a new song emerging. Just a magical track too from this amazingly talented young man.
