The 77s
Blood and Roses/Pearls Before Swine (Live at Christ Church, 11/3/99)
["Blood and Roses": Verse 1]
It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say

["Blood and Roses": Chorus]
I want to love, but it comes out wrong
I want to live, but I don't belong
I close my eyes, and I see
Blood and roses

["Blood and Roses": Verse 2]
Love flowers in the springtime
October we were wed
In wintertime, the roses died
The blood ran cold, and then she said

["Blood and Roses": Chorus]
I want to love, but it comes out wrong
I want to live, but I don't belong
I close my eyes, and I see
Blood and roses

[Guitar Solo]
Yeah!
["Pearls Before Swine": Bridge]
Ashes for your veil
Ashes for your veil
Veil of ashes
Ashes
Ashes
Ashes, baby, baby
Veil of ashes
Ashes, baby!
Ashes, baby!
Ashes, child, yeah!
Rock it one more time!
Rock it one more time!
Yeah, yeah!
Veil of ashes, ah!
Ashes, baby!
Ashes, baby!

[Guitar Solo]

[Spoken Outro]
We'd like to thank you for coming to our concert. Tomorrow night, we shall be Wichita, as falls Wichita Falls, so falls--well, something like that. This is a song from the "Drowning with Land."
