Steemit OPEN MIC WEEK 82: "YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND A MEMORY" + (Johnny Thunders Cover) by @LUISKRUPAZ
Hi Steemit and OpenMic community!
Today I’m playing a song by the misunderstood genius called Johnny Thunders.
It's a beautiful song, I hope you pay attention specially to the lyrics, and please take a little bit of time to check out his material and story, with The New York Dolls and The Heartbreakers (not the Tom Petty ones)...
So here it is, hope you like it!
"You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory"
It doesn't pay to try,
All the smart boys know why,
It doesn't mean I didn't try,
I just never know why,
Feel so cold and all alone,
'Cause, baby, you're not at home,
And when I'm home,
Big deal, I'm still alone.
Feel so restless; I am,
Beat my head against a pole,
Try to knock some sense,
Down in my bones,
And even though they don't show,
The scars aren't so old,
And when they go,
They let you know...
You can't put your arms around a memory,
You can't put your arms around a memory,
You can't put your arms around a memory,
Don't try, don't try...
You're just a bastard kid,
And you got no name,
'Cause you're living with me,
We're one and the same,
And even though they don't show,
They scars aren't so old,
And when they go,
They let you know...
You can't put your arms around a memory,
You can't put your arms around a memory,
You can't put your arms around a memory,
Don't try, don't try...
