Hozier - Jackie And Wilson Lyrics






So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine
For reasons wretched and divine

She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild
Laughing away through my feeble disguise
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
And, Lord, she found me just in time

'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young

She's gonna save me
Call me "baby"
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus
Be detectives
Ride 'round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
Sit back and watch the world go by

Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us

She's gonna save me
Call me "baby"
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus
Be detectives
Ride 'round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Cut clean from the dream at night let my mind reset
Looking up from a cigarette, and she's already left
I start digging up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
For whatever poor soul is coming next

She's gonna save me
Call me "baby"
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus
Be detectives
Ride 'round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

  33. T.... M....

    Hozier is a star poet

  34. L.... S....

    i'll be damned if he doesn't actually named his children Jackie and Wilson

  35. J.... W....

    And I thought he was a one-hit wonder! Lots of RESPECT from London!!

  36. M.... C....

    This guy is on a whole other level. He’s tapping into something spiritual that most “artists” will never feel, or be able to wrap their heads around. Genuine and Beautiful.

  37. b.... a....

    1:01 ❤

  38. a.... ....

    2:03 IM WEAK

  39. t.... s....

    ❤ alex ryan

  40. N.... A....

    He sounds like damn good Like I want to kill myself ..urgh

  41. O.... D....

    I absolutely love the contrast between his voice and his facial expressions here. While his voice sounds filled with emotions, his face stays so neutral and calm.
    Another proof that a singer doesn’t have to go over the top in every way 👏🏼

  42. G.... C....

    I read the comment about how he looks as if he remembers something at the 1:00 mark, and I giggle every darn time! One guy said he forgot his laundry in the washer. I have giggled at the most random times, thinking of these hilarious people ♡! At red lights I'm cracking up and look insane. I guess I am a bit, and that's ok with me. Love Hozier people! Love him, I pretty much love you. Obviously you're all super smart . 😍😘😁❤

  43. J.... S....

    I like the version of him he pretends to be in this video

  44. V.... H....

    love this band!

  45. J.... H....

    *my heart*

  46. L.... C....

    There is something about this song, like a certain devil trying to charm you

  47. p.... M....

    Is it crazy that this song somehow ( I have no idea how) reminds me of Tom waits song 'I hope I don't fall in love with you'?

  48. l.... n....

    I wish I was that guitar #shameful 😂

  49. A.... H....

    The title of this song makes me think of Friday Night Dinner lmao

    A.... H....

    Alice Hill wanna go on a date?

  50. D.... C....

    does the line "which me am i going to be today" remind anyone of that one scene from the office? anyone?

  51. B.... D....

    Ohh..That sideways glance .. Sexy AF

  52. A.... D....

    Me gustan mas estas coristas que las dw ahora

  53. A.... D....

    I love this song is great

  54. B.... S....

    Youknow im straight but maybe maybe, i can be a gay for him..

  55. K.... E....

    I wish I can give millions of likes on this video. It’s not enough for me to express how much I love his art works. He’s a wonderful guy.

  56. A.... A....

    Still my favorite song

  57. C.... ....

    His Voice..It just comes.. Too Easy.. Flawless

  58. C.... K....

    Always got appreciation for someone who plays a sparkle finish Gretsch.

  59. h.... a....

    can’t believe i been sleepin on this. gorgeous.

  60. M.... P....

    I'll name my children Jackie and Wilson

  61. R.... ....

    this song hurts my heart in the most lovely way

  62. S.... ....

    fully thought this was going to be a song about Friday Night Dinner but im chill either way

  63. I.... G....

    Came here after subway video. Just opened up other songs. They are amazing.
    Great musician!

  64. �.... ....

  78. G.... A....

    So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
    No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
    Soul deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine
    For reasons wretched and divine

    [Verse 2]
    She blows out of nowhere, a roman candle of the wild
    Laughing her way through my feeble disguise
    No other version of me I would rather be tonight
    And lord, she found me just in time

    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
    I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young

    [Chorus]
    She's gonna save me, call me baby
    Run her hands through my hair
    She'll know me crazy, sooth me daily
    Better yet, she wouldn't care

    We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives
    Ride 'round picking up clues
    We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson
    Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

    [Verse 3]
    Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
    Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
    Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
    We'd sit back and watch the world go by

    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    Happy to lie back, watch it burn and rust
    We tried the world
    Good God it wasn't for us

    [Chorus]
    She's gonna save me, call me baby
    Run her hands through my hair
    She'll know me crazy, sooth me daily
    Better yet, she wouldn't care

    We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives
    Ride 'round picking up clues
    We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson
    Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

    [Instrumental]

    [Verse 4]
    Cut clean from the dream that night, let my mind reset
    Looking up from a cigarette, she's already left
    I start digging up the yard for what's left of me in our little vignette
    For whatever poor soul is coming next

  79. M.... ....

    he's gorgeous...

  80. K.... V....

    Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime.

  81. M.... ....

    He does it so effortlessly
