Willie Deadwilder (long version) Lyrics


Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca
They knew that they loved one another
He said, "Fuck this cabby life"
She said, "Fuck this old trailer"
He said, "I want you for my wife"Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca
They saw the same things at once
They shared the kind of stuff everybody dreams of
Finding out about, it's all about loveWillie Deadwilder and Rebecca
They got a few more years to go
Gonna have some good old times
No more sad, sad bad times
It's all that they've been waiting for
Someone to knock at the doorI tell you there are some people living alone
There are some people with nowhere to go
There are some people who don't believe in love
But Willie and Rebecca prove they're all wrongFirst time I saw him, he smiled at me
And the first time I saw her, she was beautiful
Sixty two plus forty six equals one hundred and eight

Possible years they'll live long too
That's almost half of the rest of his life
That's over half for herWillie was shot once in his mind
His cry out saved his life
Second time through the heart
The doctor pulled the bullet from his sideHe had a job to do, he thought
That's his way of life
To take that car and pick her up
To be a man for herBroken down and cut in two
She had been married for most her life
Now she's finally free for awhileLong enough to see this man and what he means
When he tells her that God is on his side
No matter what and will you marry me?Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca
They want to live a life
I wish I had a million dollars
So we could throw it all awayI wish I had a million dollars
So we could light it aflame
I wish I had one million dollars
So we could spend it every dayI'm on the same side as you
I'm just a little bit behind
And please don't bring me down
Please don't let me go
I'm looking for a new kind of thing
A place that makes my heart sing
Another question answered from abovePlease don't let it worry you now
Please don't let it worry you now
I've seen inside your heart and soul
It's beautifully jacketed
An open hand and a mind to lendThere's nothing more romantic
Than a distant place behind your smile
Tells my eyes that I am coming home
Please don't bring me down
Please don't let me goMy heart is a worried thing, memories have planted
Seeds of a field I now want to reap and sow
Maybe when I'm sixty two, maybe when I'm forty six
Maybe when I'm thirty, maybe the next time I see youWe will have our universe for the first time, again
Rings around our sweet friendship
Will tear up in, into a run
Galloping forever more until tomorrow is goneI deeply say to you now
I deeply say to you now
I deeply say to you now
There's another question answered from aboveYou're the kind of friend of mine I never had
You're the kind of love I had
That I never thought there was
Saint, Saint, Saint, Saint AugustineFar, far, far away, Georgie Koontz
We gotta stake this thing out
We gotta laugh the whole day through
We gotta live the way that we want toAs long as God is willing, I am too
And as long as you are here, I am too
As long as he and she can forgive
And love again and still love us tooYou take my heart and you give it to me
You show me love I've never seen
You take my heart and give it to meWhen Dylan sang Ramona in the taxi that night
I knew it right away would either be hard or be right
'Cause I'm not Ramona and you didn't write that song
'Cause you're not Dylan and I know we really do get along
Get along and get on with what it is you got to do
Go on get along with whomever you chooseThis is your life
But if God is willing, then I'm willing too, oh
I'll be in the front, back and side of you
Just many happily waiting for youSaint, Saint, Saint, Saint, Saint Augustine
Far away, far away, Georgie Koontz
You know what it is
You know what it is you got to doA young little girl named Jennifer gave me a turquoise ring
A native sentiment of joy love and peace
I thank you for this ring, it's beautiful to me
A lady future journalist gave to me a lucky sweater to wear
Stains she had since eighteen, amazing that she did that
It would have been hard to do for meA man named John wrote a song for me to sing
Also the most unbelievable flowers I have ever seen
He is a very good man
And he has been an even very good man to me
I hope that one day that song I will singAnother love named Jennifer gives her care to me
A radiant heart with holy power, she believed in me
And with that gift I cry right now
But a memory of her laughing kills the beastAnother love I still love, a familiar face to me
A standing arch above my heart I've never been to reach
He's laid my head on the bed
And told me, "Sweet, I'm not crazy like the others say"
No, he's not crazy like meThis is a four hour song and it will go on and on
A moment in time traveling on even if it is too long
I don't care, I love to share, I love to sing along
I know you do too, feel the same way so come along
Sing your song, it's all that you have to doI'm looking for that kind of mind
I never thought I'd find
I'm looking for that kind of love
I never thought was real
I'm looking for your heart
My dear, are you looking for me?
Please don't bring me down
Please don't let me goWith your love, I have foothold, I can carry on
But please don't let me worry you now
Please don't let me worry you now
There's nothing I am saying
That could ever be made wrong
I love you, love you so, I love you so strongPlease remember your heart in me
Please remember it's not anatomically correct
Please know there's no boundary
And if God is willing to protect
Our love, a world of love
I think you'd be willing tooWhere are you from
And where are you going to?
We have so much to do
Where you are going is?Where you do come from
And where I will be is with you?
We have so much to do
We have so much to do
We have so much to doHurry, hurry, hurry let's go
Hurray, hurray, things are gonna be okay
Hurry, hurry, let's goAll them children are waiting
It's time and they are ready
We got so much to do
And if God is willing
We have got so much
We have got so much

Charlyn Marie Marshall, also known as Chan (pronounced "Shawn") Marshall, was born in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. on 21 January 1972. After dropping out of high school, she started performing under the name Cat Power, while in Atlanta, backed by musicians Glen Thrasher, Mark Moore, and others. She soon moved to New York City, United States in 1992, then later opening for Liz Phair in 1994, she met Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth and Tim Foljahn of Two Dollar Guitar, who encouraged her to record, and played on her first two albums, 1995's Dear Sir and 1996's Myra Lee. In 1996 she was signed to Matador Records, and released her third album, What Would the Community Think, which spawned a single and music video, "Nude as the News".

Shortly following the release of What Would the Community Think Marshall disappeared from the musical scene, initially working as a baby sitter in Portland, Oregon and then moving to a farmhouse in Prosperity, South Carolina with boyfriend Bill Callahan (who performs under the name Smog). The plan was to permanently retire from music but during a sleepless night resulting from a nightmare, Marshall wrote several new songs. These songs would make up the bulk of Moon Pix. The album was recorded at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne in eleven days with backing musicians Mick Turner and Jim White of the Dirty Three. The album was well-received by critics, and gained her recognition in the indie rock scene. However, during the subsequent tours she grew tired of her own material. This resulted in a series of shows during 1999 involving Marshall providing musical accompaniment to a series of screenings of the silent movie The Passion of Joan of Arc. The shows combined original material and many covers, many of which would later see release on The Covers Record, a collection of cover songs recorded at various sessions in 1998 and 1999. A selection of covers that didn't make it on to the album were recorded at Peel Acres, home of the highly influential and legendary British DJ John Peel. The session was broadcast on his BBC Radio 1 show and featured Marshall's own interpretations of Bob Dylan's "Hard Times in New York Town" amongst others.

In 2003 she resumed releasing original material with You Are Free, a diverse and critically acclaimed album that featured guest musicians such as Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, and the Dirty Three's Warren Ellis.

2004 saw the release of Speaking for Trees, a critically polarizing DVD which featured a single two-hour static shot of Marshall performing in a woodland. It was accompanied by an audio CD containing the 18-minute song "Willie Deadwilder", which featured M. Ward on guitar. 2005 found Cat Power out on the road again, touring the world and playing sold-out solo shows, including an Australian tour supporting Nick Cave. The shows largely consisted of material for her next album.

Cat Power's seventh record, The Greatest, was released in January, 2006. This was not a "Greatest Hits" record but rather a collaboration with Al Green's guitarist Teenie Hodges and many other well-known R&B musicians. A tour followed in the fall of 2006.

Early in 2006, Marshall announced the cancellation of her upcoming United States tour, citing "health-related issues". A few days later, Matador announced the cancellation of her two shows in London and Paris. She resumed touring in April 2006, playing some of the most well received shows of her career both with the Memphis Rhythm Band and as a solo performer.

In 2007, she played live music for the spring/ summer Chanel Haute Couture collection in Paris and appeared in Wong Kar Wai's film My Blueberry Nights as Katya. Also in 2007, she became the first female ever to win the Shortlist Music Prize when The Greatest was voted album of the year in June. Earlier in the year she was nominated in the Best International Female category at the annual Brit Awards, alongside more mainstream artists like Christina Aguilera and Nelly Furtado.

On January 22, 2008, Cat Power released a second collection of covers called Jukebox--her eighth LP overall. It included versions of songs by artists such as Hank Williams, James Brown, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Patsy Cline and Janis Joplin.

Since then, she has released an EP called "The Dark End Of The Street" on vinyl, only.

Cat Power released her first original song since 2008 just before Christmas 2011 when an MP3 of "King Rides By" was made available on her official site, in exchange for a donation of at least $0.99 to the Festival of Children Foundation and the Ali Forney Center charities.
