Me & Jill/hendrix Cosby Lyrics - Sonic Youth

We had just left shore 

When everything began to happen at once 

The water came in and we started to go down 

I looked at Jill and she looked back 

Thinking it would be alright to go down 

Then the railings broke and the motors gave out 

The hall emptied out and no one was left for the band 

The amps all wet, speakers burst, soaked 

We up three flight now 

Tried to meet up with the galley crew 

But it seemed everyone had gone 

We had a smoke to pass some time 

Jill said, "I'd love to right now" 

What could I say, we did while the waters rose, licking our feet 

It was fun and funny so we laughed 

I loved the way she could laugh, so full bodied

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

When we hit the sky we were high over the grooves 

A field of gnarled antennas coiling upwards 

Waves and waveforms joining in a nice hot blast 

So different from the boat 

The cold silver sky opened for us and we passed through 

Last I saw of Jill 

She was heading into the coils of the antennae 

Laughing, so beautiful 

Saying she hadn't yet had her fill 

Of the boys there and the electricity 

Saying she wanted to plug in again and fry a bit 

I said, "Watch the water, love" 

She kept laughing and shook her hair 

She said, "I'd love to, right now you know" 

So we did and had a smoke too and her lips parted 

Photos 

There in amongst the coiling snakes of an antenna 

She looked right at home 

The waves came up and a blinding flash 

Caught me dreaming of her 

As she looked all crossed with wires and sparks 

Watching the blast 

Everything went orange and all my thoughts 

Dissolved inwards in the cloud 

I thought one last, how different from the sea is the boat
