Song of the Week #1

Since I'm so into music, I thought I would start a new (weekly) feature on my blog. The name is probably clear enough, but once a week I'll take the time to post the lyrics and a link (if I can find one) to a great song. Depending on my mood, it might be an old favorite or something I've been listening to a lot lately.

Now I would like to introduce you to Song Of The Week (SOTW) #1: 9 Crimes (video on YouTube) from the cd 9 by Damien Rice. This is a truly beautiful and amazing song, and even though the lyrics are pretty depressing (and the video is a bit odd), I could listen to it over and over again.


Lyrics to 9 Crimes by Damien Rice from metrolyrics.com
Lisa:
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
With you.

Damien:
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

Damien:
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away (Lisa: Is that alright? Yeah.)when it's loaded

Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it how (Lisa: Is that alright? Yeah. ) am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away (Lisa: Is that alright? Yeah. ) when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Damien: Is that alright, you?
Give my gun away (Lisa: Is that alright? Yeah. ) when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it how (Lisa: Is that alright? Yeah. ) am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away (Lisa: Is that alright? Yeah. ) when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

(Slight Overlap..)
Damien: Is that alright you?
Lisa: Give my gun away when it's loaded
Damien: Is that alright you?
Lisa: If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Damien: Is that alright you?
Lisa: Give my gun away when it's loaded
Damien: Is that alright, is that alright?

Damien & Lisa: Is that alright with you?

Damien: No...
