Amy Macdonald - Poison Prince
Amy Macdonald:Poison Prince
This song is performed by Amy Macdonald and appears on the album This Is The Life (2007).
A poetic genius is something I don't see
Why would a genius be trippin' on me?
And he's looking at me now
But what he can't see
Is that I'm looking through his eyes
So many lies behind his eyes
And tell me stories from your past
And sing me songs you wrote before
I tell you this my poison prince,
You'll soon be knockin' on heavens door
Some kinda poison prince with your eyes in a daze
Some kinda poison prince your life is like a maze
And what we all want and what we all crave
Is an upbeat song so we can dance the night away
Oh who said life was easy?
Who said life was fair?
Who said nobody gives a damn and nobody even cares?
The way you're acting now like you left that all behind
You've given up
You've given in
Another sucker of that slime
Some kinda poison prince with your eyes in a daze
Some kinda poison prince your life is like a maze
And what we all want and what we all crave
Is an upbeat song so we can dance the night away
Some kinda poison prince with your eyes in a daze
Some kinda poison prince your life is like a maze
And what we all want and what we all crave
Is an upbeat song so we can dance the night away
Knockin' On Heavens Door - Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid
I never knew Knockin' on heavens door was written for a movie.. Nor a western of all things! You are awesome, rasch.
To kill a classic-bird (for kronosposeidon)
wow, the chorus is sung so boringly... like a sedated robot...
If you refuse to ad any artistic interpretation then wtf is the point of covering a song? did the execs think she needed more exposure?
(here's Bob's live interpretation ...

Wanted: Political/ Anti-War/ Protest Songs (Rocknroll Talk Post)
I always liked "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" as a 'pro-peace in the time of war' song.
Even though the official track was directly about a gunfighting, wild-west lawman talking to his mother while he lays dying, the lyrics were written to work for a dying soldier, or one just tired of the fighting...

"Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door."
Dylan also sang different lyrics every other time he played it live for a
time, either replacing one or two lines ("Mama put my guns in the ground, I'm sick and tired of the war") or changing the whole song;

"Mama wipe the blood off of my face
I cant see threw it anymore.
Need someone to talk to at my new hiding place
feels like I'm looking at heaven's door.
Mama I can hear that thunder roar
echoing down from God's distant shore.
I can hear them calling for my soul
feel I'm knocking on heaven's door."
Okay... for fun I'm sifting my favorite version.
