BOB DYLAN lyrics : "Tin Angel"
"I'd have given you the stars and the planets, too But what good would these things do you? Bow the heart if not the knee Or never again this world you'll see" "Oh, please let not your heart be cold This man is dearer to me than gold" "Oh, my dear, you must be blind He's a gutless ape with a worthless mind" "You've had your way too long with me Now it's me who'll determine how things shall be" "Try to escape," he cussed and cursed "You'll have to try to get past me first" "Do not let your passion rule You think my heart the heart of a fool And you, sir, you can not deny You made a monkey of me, what and for why?" "I'll have no more of this insulting chat The devil can have you, I'll see to that Look sharp or step aside Or in the cradle you'll wish you'd died" The gun went boom and the shot rang clear First bullet grazed his ear Second ball went right straight in And he bent in the middle like a twisted pin He crawled to the corner and he lowered his head He gripped the chair and he grabbed the bed It would take more than needle and thread Bleeding from the mouth, he's as good as dead "You shot my husband down, you fiend" "Husband? What husband? What the hell do you mean? He was a man of strife, a man of sin I cut him down and threw him to the wind" Well this she said with angry breath "You too shall meet the lord of death It was I who brought your soul to life" Then she raised her robe and she drew out a knife His face was hard and caked with sweat His arms ached and his hands were wet "You're a murderous queen and a bloody wife If you don't mind, I'll have the knife" "We're two of a kind and our blood runs hot But we're no way similar in body or thought All husbands are good men, as all wives know" Then she pierced him to the heart and his blood did flow His knees went limp and he reached for the door His doom was sealed, he slid to the floor He whispered in her ear: "This is all your fault My fighting days have come to a halt" She touched his lips and kissed his cheek He tried to speak but his breath was weak "You died for me, now I'll die for you" She put the blade to her heart and she ran it through All three lovers together in a heap Thrown into the grave, forever to sleep Funeral torches blazed away Through the towns and the villages all night and all day
