Gary Jules Lyrics
 | | Although you may have missed it, San Diego singer-songwriter Gary Jules released his debut album back in 1998. Greetings From the Side briefly saw the light of day as its label, A&M, was folding into Universal and dropping many artists from the roster as a result. Disillusioned, Jules took his time writing his sophomore effort, and when Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets was released in 2001, it was on his own label. Jules' smoky, emotive voice was the perfect compliment to the sparse medium in which he worked, and the album began to create a strong word-of-mouth buzz. Fortune began to smile on Jules with the inclusion of his stunning, haunting version of "Mad World" on the Donnie Darko soundtrack. The song became a hit in many countries across Europe, and eventually the international buzz became strong enough to score Jules a deal in the States. Ironically, Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets was released in 2004 by the very same label that dropped him years earlier. |

Gary Jules Song Lyric:
Umbilical Town
I hear you've got a pocket full of words
that you keep in the garage
together with the feathers and the fireworks
a surftown hero who's got one foot in the garden
where the neon-lighted cocktail glasses bloom
and they built you a model airplane
like the one that brought you back to lindbergh field
now you're counting your change by the streetlights on india
"hey, it's me again, I'm faded . . . could I please come over?"
you can do what you want
in umbilical town
in a waterfront bar
old gap-toothed annie was a friend of mine
the third time around she was born again
she must have burned at least a half-a-million dollars
in the little rooms next door to wash-and-fold
and there ain't no consolation prize
there is no backdoor to innocence
just the wild-eyed faces and names that you've forgotten
"hey, the money's gone, I'm broken, could I please come over?"
you can do what you want
in umbilical town
in that waterfront bar
I've been dreaming we were born together
I've been thinking about it
'been lurking backstreets - kicking down alleyways
I've been thinking about it
how it's always worse than it appears
raskolnikov's out on the stairs
howling at the man in the moon
they say he lost control
between the suburbs and the barrio
tired from too much too soon
now the air is thick with compromise
we're always on the way
so I take comfort in the only life I know
where you can do what you want
in umbilical town
at the waterfront bar
in umbilical town
you can do what you want
you can do what you want
you can do what you want
Get This Ringtone
