Sweet Adeline Lyrics


Put this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards, kill this history
Make it over, make it stay away
Or hate'll sing the ending that
Love started to say

There's a kid a floor below me singing
Brother can you spare sunshine for a brother
Old man winter's in the air
Walked me up a story, asking how ya' are
Told me not to worry, you're
Just a shooting star

Sweet Adeline
Sweet Adeline
My Clementine
Sweet Adeline

It's a picture perfect evening and I'm staring down the sun
Fully loaded, deaf and dumb and done
Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head
Or any situation where I'm
Better off than dead

    Waltz No. 2 (XO) Lyrics


    Waltz No. 2 (XO)
  • Elliot once cited the lyrics to this as an example of how he tries to chronicle the lives of other people and especially his mother's.
  • The lyrics "She appears composed, so she is, I suppose. Who can really tell? She shows no emotion at all, stares into space like a dead china doll" were written about the experience of watching his mother and stepfather in a karaoke bar singing and getting progressively drunk when Elliot was a child. (thanks, Shannon - Kathleen, GA, for above 2)
