Don't Interrupt the Sorrow Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right on flames our prophet witches
Be polite, a room full of glasses
He says, "Your notches liberation doll"
And he chains me with that serpent
To that Ethiopian wallAnima rising, Queen of Queens
Wash my guilt of Eden
Wash and balance me
Anima rising, uprising in me tonight
She's a vengeful little goddess

With an ancient crown to fightTruth goes up in vapors, the steeples lean
Winds of change Patriarchs
Snug in your Bible belt dreams
God goes up the chimney
Like childhood Santa Claus
The good slaves love the good book, a rebel loves a causeI'm leaving on the 1:15, you're darn right
Since I was seventeen
I've had no one over me
He says "Anima rising, so what
Petrified wood process
Tall timber down to rock"Don't interrupt the sorrow, darn right
He says "We walked on the moon
You be polite", don't let up the sorrow
Death and birth and death and birth and death and birth
He says "Bring that bottle kindly and I'll pad your purse
I've got a head full of quandary and a mighty, mighty, thirst"Seventeen glasses, Rhine wine
Milk of the Madonna, Clandestine
He don't let up the sorrow
He lies and he cheats
It takes a heart like Mary's these days
When your man gets weak

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Joni Mitchell, CC, (born Roberta Joan Anderson; 7 November 1943 - Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada) is a musician, singer-songwriter, poet and painter. Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in her native Western Canada and then busking on the streets of Toronto. Her writing and art talent emerged before her exposure as a gifted musician performing in Western Canada, including Winnipeg, where she met Neil Young. She then associated with the burgeoning folk music scene of the mid-1960s in New York City.

Recording her début album in 1968 and achieving fame first as a songwriter ("Urge for Going", "Chelsea Morning", "Both Sides, Now", "Woodstock") and then as a singer in her own right. Finally settling in Southern California, Mitchell played a key part in the folk rock movement then sweeping the musical landscape. Blue, her starkly personal 1971 album, is regarded as one of the strongest and most influential records of the time. Mitchell also had pop hits such as "Big Yellow Taxi", "Free Man in Paris", and "Help Me", the last two from 1974's best-selling Court and Spark.

In 1975 Joni released "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" which can be seen as an artistic turning point, and the beginning of her unique blend of folk, jazz and rock. It was intended as a concept album of sorts, with the "concept" being the contrast being freedom and slavery, and the idea that wealth and status sometimes ironically place a great many constraints on people's behavior.

Mitchell is also an accomplished visual artist. She has, through photography or painting, created the artwork for each of her albums, and has described herself as a "painter derailed by circumstance". A blunt critic of the music industry, Mitchell has stopped recording over the last several years, and now focuses mainly on her visual art, although she released a new album - Shine on 25th September 2007.
