People Ain't No Good - Live from KCRW

Do you know "People Ain't No Good"? (Yeah)

People just ain't no good
I think that's welll understood
You can see it everywhere you look
People just ain't no good

We were married under cherry trees
Under blossom we made pour vows
All the blossoms come sailing down
Through the streets and through the playgrounds

The sun would stream on the sheets
Awoken by the morning bird
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
Never read a single word

People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good at all

The seasons came, the seasons went
The winter stripped the blossom bare
A different tree now lines the streets
Shaking its fists in the air

The winter slammed us like a fist
The windows rattling in the gales
To which she drew the curtains down
Made out of her wedding veils

People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good
People, they ain't no good at all

To our love send a dozen white lilies
To our love send a coffin of wood
To our love let the pink-eyed pigeons coo
Hell, that people they just ain't no good

To our love send back all the letters
To our love, a valentine of blood
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry
People just ain't no good

It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
And they bury you when you go and die

It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They'd stick by you if they could
Oh, but that's just bullshit, baby
People just ain't no good
At all
