lyrics

"C'est une autre chanson qui a été enregistrée le lendemain de l'achèvement de l'album. Elle était supposée être une chanson gaie, mais elle avait cette atmosphère de lenteur, de dépression, de tristesse ... La première partie de guitare a été jouée sur une Gibson J-100XTRA qui a ce formidable son très ouvert et il y a une guitare en son clair qui la double et qui est mixée de façon à lui donner un son type chorus qui la rend plus gaie. Il y a aussi deux lignes de basse, jouées avec une Epiphone que j'avais achetée 100 $ dans une boutique d'occasion, et qui a été aussi beaucoup utilisée sur Siamese Dream. Sur la chanson, la première ligne de basse est constituée de notes aiguës plaquées et l'autre joue les graves pour donner de la lourdeur."
"This was another song recorded the day after the music for the album was done. It's supposed to be an uplifting song, but it had this undercurrent of longing, depression, sadness, etc....The opening guitar was played on a Gibson J-100XTRA, which has got this great, wide-open sound, and there's a clean electric guitar doubling it but mixed way back to give a chorusing "sparkle". There are also two bass guitar tracks on most of the song, played on a weird Epiphone bass that I bought for a hundred dollars at a pawn shop, and which also got used a lot on Siamese Dream. On the track, one plats chords high up and the other just plays the root notes to give it some weight."

Paroles / Lyrics

close your eyes until the sunlight dies
in your head a thousand stars
thru the darkness you can see a light
and if they steal your life your heart is still mine

i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song you sing a truth there's no other
i want to believe in you dear

on Sunday
there's a life i hide
well i tried to disguise
and i can take you a million miles away

i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song you sing a truth there's no other
i want to believe in you dear

on Sunday
i made amends for all my mistakes
may god speed be with you

i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song you sing a truth there's no other

i want to believe in you and i heard you
your song you sing a truth a lover

i want to believe in you dear
on Sunday

Sunday
i made amends for all my mistakes
may god speed be with you
