I met you in the upper room Of a house where I slept with the angels From hell and from heaven Some for haunting, some for guarding Each to his own purpose over my trembling skin And I kept my secrets far from your condition And in the explosions they both were just powders In faded jean jackets to look just like our daddies Did you say your lovers were liars? All my lovers were liars too Did you say you were afraid of dying? I ain't lived a single day without you Do you wanna come over? I was just about to miss you Did you say you were lonely? I was just about to call you You rang on a Wednesday night I was buried in the churchyard In the engines of desire in the come down daylight I believe my trouble and your trouble shook hands Did you say your lovers were liars? All my lovers were liars too Did you say you were afraid of dying? I ain't lived a single day without you Do you wanna come over? I was just about to call you Did you say you were lonely? I was just about to miss you Did you say your lovers were liars? All my lovers were liars too Did you say you were afraid of dying? Baby, I ain't lived a single day without you Did you wanna come over? I was just about to miss you Did you say you was lonely? I was right about to call you Do you believe there's a heaven? Do you think we're invited? You've done some bad things And I was a killer Did you wanna come over? I was just about to miss you Did you say you were lonely? I was just about to call you
I found all the live songs during lockdown. What haunting and gorgeous lyrics...
one of the few songs of brian that's better live than on record. This version is hauntingly beautiful
Brian: Did you say your lovers were liar? All my lovers were liars too.
That one guy in the audience : Yeah!
I met you in the upper room
Of a house where I slept with the angels
From hell and from heaven
Some for haunting, some for guarding
Each to his own purpose over my trembling skin
And I kept my secrets far from your condition
And in the explosions they both were just powders
In faded jean jackets to look just like our daddies
Did you say your lovers were liars?
All my lovers were liars too
Did you say you were afraid of dying?
I ain't lived a single day without you
Do you wanna come over?
I was just about to miss you
Did you say you were lonely?
I was just about to call you
You rang on a Wednesday night
I was buried in the churchyard
In the engines of desire in the come down daylight
I believe my trouble and your trouble shook hands
Did you say your lovers were liars?
All my lovers were liars too
Did you say you were afraid of dying?
I ain't lived a single day without you
Do you wanna come over?
I was just about to call you
Did you say you were lonely?
I was just about to miss you
Did you say your lovers were liars?
All my lovers were liars too
Did you say you were afraid of dying?
Baby, I ain't lived a single day without you
Did you wanna come over?
I was just about to miss you
Did you say you was lonely?
I was right about to call you
Do you believe there's a heaven?
Do you think we're invited?
You've done some bad things
And I was a killer
Did you wanna come over?
I was just about to miss you
Did you say you were lonely?
I was just about to call you
Thanks!
"I was just about to miss you" Wow!
No other form of art or entertainment affects me like the music of Brian Fallon.
this version easily makes it into my top 5 favorites of all time. Perhaps even the top 2
100%
Best of the Best! Thank you. Hello from Richmond. California.
Brian is all passion on this. I appreciate this surrender in a musician/singer. He's fantastic!
Better than the studio version, in my opinion.
I don't think I've ever heard a studio version from Brian better than his live stuff
You're absolutely right.
The most beautiful song ever!! Amazing!!
Wow. Brian is gret as always, but Ian and Alex really kill it in the outro at the end.
Nice!
this shit does things to me
I agree!!!
So I'm not the only one who just FEELS shit when this man opens his mouth??
This man opens his mouth, and suddenly I understand why I feel the way I feel about the things that are going on in my life.
"I ain't lived a single day without you"
Modern poetry at its finest to hit and soothe the soul
Very cool! But I think I like the gas light anthem better though!
What's signed on the back of Brian's Tele's headstock? His sig?
+Brendan O'Leary It's a Nash Tele, not a Fender Tele. Each Nash guitar is signed on the back of the headstock by Bill Nash.
sonic.
Brian before he gained 75 lbs
Nice!
