Paul Westerberg - Postcard from Paradise (Flesh for Lulu cover) video free download
I didn't see a live or studio version of this song on YouTube yet. I really like it, so I think you probably might, too!
I believe this is a Flesh for Lulu cover. I also believe this was a hidden song on the 'Stereo' album.
Lyrics:
A postcard from paradise
Delivered by mortal hands
X marks the spot where you lay
Now the sun burns down on the sand
I watched you sleeping
Listened to you breathing
Wondered if you were dreaming, andf if you were
What were you dreaming?
And I fell under your spell
And I lay where I fell
So wind down your window
I think I'm gonna kiss you
I dont know what else to do
You send me
Postcards from paradise
Say I want you
You send me
Postcards from paradise
Yeah, you do
Like a car broke down in the rain
I just can't get started again
I want you
I want you to stay
Postcards from paradise
Delivered by mortal hands
X marks the spot where you lay
Now the sun burns down on the sand
There goes love again
7 day wondering
Out on the ledge again
Your'e threatening to jump again
Here comes temptation
Dragging it out again
Riding a bullet train
To your central nervous station
And I fell under your spell
And I lay where I fell
So wind down your window
I think I'm gonna kiss you
I dont know what else to do
You send me
Postcards from paradise
Say I want you
You send me
Postcards from paradise
Yeah, you do
Like a car broke down in the rain
I just can't get started again
I want you
I want you to stay
You send me

One of my favourite songs on "Stereo", though I only realised recently that it's a cover, originally written and recorded by Flesh for Lulu. Recorded by Paul in his basement, with him playing all instruments.9 years ago

A fantastic cover in the sloppy and genuine Westerberg style. Strangely, I always felt that the original version could have been a later-era Replacements song.9 years ago

This is a hidden track on Stereo: Mono. At 1:48 I always come. Such a raw cover, great snarl. 10 years ago

Love Westerberg, but Jeff you may be over crediting him as best song writer if you think he wrote this one...see Flesh for LuLu.10 years ago

Yeah, money and mainstream success really says it all, doesn't it? Akon and David Guetta are musical geniuses! Arthur Alexander and Alex Chilton who? Jesus....12 years ago

You get negative reactions here because you say stupid shit like 'his music blows' and that Reznik is better than Westerberg because he lives in Beverly Hills. There are plenty of people who like bad music (IMO) who don't get flamed here... it because they don't come across like an idiot.12 years ago

seriously? living in B.H. is supposed to be a measure of one's musical talent now? Honestly, that's got to be one of the most idiotic statements I've read. No one is arguing that the GGDs have sold a lot of albums; so has Maroon 5 -- but then again, they probably also have swanky homes in B.H., so I guess they deserve the praise of their fans.12 years ago

I agree that an artist has to grow and evolve. But artists can do that without reducing themselves to putting out lowest-common-denominator-appealing boring & safe music, which is all I've heard from Rzenik over the past decade or so. He doesn't have to go back to punk; just something interesting.12 years ago

Hey, I'll take Paul's drunk Keith Richards singing in the rain impression over another soulless, pedestrian double Goo Dolls cover any day of the weekend. "His music just blows!" Say, you are funny!12 years ago

@ih8music ::looks at your username:: That explains it. Lay the hell off, there's absolutely nothing wrong with any of the bands mentioned here. Your "tastes" are your own, and no one else's, so keep yours and others can keep theirs. Ass. Long live Goo, 'Mets, and Flesh for Lulu!12 years ago
