Jeff Buckley - Madame George Lyrics
Down on cyprus avenue
With a child-like vision leaping into view.
The clicking clacking of the high-heeled shoes,
Ford and fitzroy; madam george.
Marching with the soldierboy behind
And the smell of sweet perfume comes drifting thru
In the cool night breeze like shalimar
And then your self control lets go
And suddenly you're up against the bathroom door.
The hallway lights are finely getting dim
You're in the front row touching him
And outside they're making all the stops
The kinds out in the streets collecting bottle tops,
Going for cigarettes and matches to the shops,
Happy talking, madam george
Oh, that's when you fall
And you fall into a trance
Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance
With your folded arms in history books you glance
Into the eyes of madam george
And you think you've found your bag,
You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag
And in the corner playing dominoes in drag,
The one and only madam george
And outside the frosty window raps
She says "be cool, I think that it's the cops"
Stands up, drops everything she gots,
It's not easy now you know
Now you know you gotta go
Catch a train from dublin up to sandy row,
In the wind, rain & fog & slush & snow
Keep on going on
Say good-bye we know you're pretty far out
And all the little boys comin' round
They got gold cigarette lighters in their pockets
Walking away from it all, so cool.
That's when you fall.

Jeff Buckley Madame George Comments
He killed one of the best songs ever written.
I like Jeff Buckley but this is really, really woeful. Crucified an excellent song
Oh dear .... not to sure this will ever be on repeat for me. Jeff Buckley's voice, as ever, wow! But the annoying mouth-organ is ........... awful.
Underrated version
Nice video !
heroin,,,,,mad urge,,,,,,,,,z
fucking brilliant
Killed a great song
For me, Van Morisson any day.
That little transition in his voice at 8:34 is just fucking beautiful.
Tears, sweet tears. Jeff's voice so beautiful.
The trouble with this guy is he never knows when enough is enough.
This is such a conservative viewpoint :)
Sometimes that’s the right thing too Man
such emotion, such beauty
