Description

Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 -- June 29, 1975) was an American vocalist and musician. His music and style changed considerably through the years; his first album (1966) was mostly folk oriented, but over time his music incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, avant-garde and an evolving "voice as instrument," sound. He died at age 28, survived by his son Jeff Buckley from his marriage to Mary Guibert.

Lyrics :

You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go
You don't remember what to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down
All the stony people
Walking 'round in christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate
And I can't wait
For pleasant street
The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies
You thought you were flying but you opened your eyes
And you found yourself falling back to yesterday's lies
Hello, pleasant street, you know she's back again
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down
All the stony people
Walking 'round in christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate
And I can't wait
For pleasant street
At twilight your lover comes to your room
He'll spin you, he'll weave you 'round his emerald loom
And softly you'll whisper all around his ear
"sweet lover, I love pleasant street
I wheel, I steal, I feel my way down to kneel"
All the stony people
Walking 'round in christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate
And I can't wait
For pleasant street
You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember which way to go
You don't remember who to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down
