Favourite Jack White (solo) lyrics

Post by koala »

Why not have one for the solo stuff too?

My favourite ones, in this order, for right now are:
Love Interruption - the whole thing. These will always be my most favorite lyrics.
Blunderbuss - especially the last line "Doing what two people need is never on the menu"
The last verse of Alone in My Home, not just the lyrics but the way he sings them too.
Entitlement - People think it sounds whiny but I don't find it so. I love the two-person conversation in classic JW style. This one and Inaccessible Mystery seem like they run along the same lines, but on different ends.

Also:
Such a trick
Pretending not to be doing what you want to
But seems like everybody does this every waking moment

We’re no strangers to love,
You know the rules and so do I.
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of,
You wouldnt get this from any other guy.

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling,
Gotta make you understand…

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching
But you’re too shy to say it.
Inside we both know what’s been going on,
We know the game and we’re gonna play it.

Annnnnd if you ask me how I’m feeling,
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see…

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Give you up. give you up.
Give you up, give you up.
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up.
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up.

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching
But you’re too shy to say it.
Inside we both know what’s been going on,
We know the game and we’re gonna play it.

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling,
Gotta make you understand…

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you.
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.
“I’M GONNA KILL MY BROTHER JACK
I’M GONNA KILL MY BROTHER JACK
I’M GONNA STAB HIM RIGHT IN THE BACK
PUT HIM IN THIS HOLE
AND HE’LL NEVER COME BACK

Bravo. And some of my favourite Jack solo lyrics, just off the top of my head, are--

"She doesn't know, but when she's gone I sit and drink her perfume"- Great imagery, great description of obsessive love, lust, whatever you want to call it
"I felt for her with my shoulder, but there was nobody there"- There's just something very intimate about that
Pretty much every line of Love Interruption
Black Bat Licorice- Reminds me of all the clever wordplay in Icky Thump
On and On and On- for personal reasons
"And the message is clear: if we want Jack White as our hero, he will entertain, but not pander. We have to accept all his flaws, whims, caprices and manias as a critical, sometimes uncomfortable, part of the contract."

Favorite Jauck Whiote Lyurocs:

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness

But you don’t know how to read
The look on my face when it says
“Yeah, I’ve read that book too”

And who the hell’s impressed by you?
I want names of the people
That we know that are falling for this

They wanna blow down the prison
They're lighting fires with the cash of the masses
And like the dough I don't fall down
I'm so Detroit I make it rise from the ashes

They'll also write the month before the date to add to the confusion. :problem:
