Black Crowes, The - Nebakanezer Lyrics






Nebakanzer never knew
He left his needle outside in the rain
And it rusted through
He had twenty-nine blackbirds
But only one flew
Spent most of his time making holes
And licking his wounds
Nebakanezer lost his wife
She took her diamond rings and was
Gone before the light
She left one satin shoe and a
Very dull knife
She left one satin shoe and a very dull knife

[Chorus]

So tell us what the sorry singer
Might do
All of his friends complain
That they got the flu
They ain't sick in the head
They look like the living dead
And that's not cool

[Repeat 1st verse]

Black Crowes, The Nebakanezer Comments
  1. M.... M....

    In hindsight, I hope that people understand now that this band was and is more important than it was ever given credit for. This was the bridge-not the nihilistic grunge stuff.

  2. T.... F....

    Take it boys.
    While they do , listen to that tone

  3. C.... w....

    The sort of people who says I head sick things about you when he himself is from a subculture known for sexual ambiguous and sex deviant behaviour, you never have but he thinks you have, now what does that say about him

  4. J.... N....

    1)3 Snakes
    2)Everything else they did

    J.... N....

    Whatever

  5. D.... H....

    What is
    Nebakanezer ?

    D.... H....

    Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon. ~600BC

    D.... H....

    HE WAS A CRETIN, ALWAYS SITTING ON POTATOES AND..BUTTERCAKES..

  6. C.... O....

  8. C.... C....

    C.... C....

    What the sorry singer might do, all of his friends complain that they got the flu.

    C.... C....

    They ain't sick in the head
    They look like the living dead
    And that's not cool.

  11. y.... ....

    thumbs if you noticed this is the same name as the ship from the matrix

  12. g.... ....

    Mine:

    1) Amorica (their most personal and original record-"the romance!")
    2) Southern Harmony (the true, pure spirit of classic riff Rock)
    3) Three Snakes (another pure original. thanks GD)
    4) SYMM (derivative but straight ahead R&R returns at a time when we needed it most)
    5) Warpaint (this one grew on me big time. Some repetition but great songs)
    6) Lions (hit or miss but a sleeper. Loses major points for Ozone Mama)
    7) BYS (a few great rockers but too slick)
    8) BtF...UtF (gimme The Byrds)

  13. g.... ....

    You're BOTH wrong! But 63AIONSON was closer than you!! It's "all of his friends COMPLAIN that they got the flu". And that's straight from Crowesbase of the official website. Other than that just listen.

  14. N.... ....

    ok I make a list too...
    1. Amorica (because its awesome damnit!)
    2. 3 Snakes (you can have play it while having sex and not be creepy)
    3. Southern Harmony
    4. BtF...UtF ( it is way cool)
    and everything else.......
    FU KATE HUDSON........................

  15. w.... ....

    guys guys its impossible to chose a fav album by the Crowes... each one of them depends on the mood you got.. favourite album by the Crowes..you gotta be kiddin' me

  16. D.... ....

    1. Southern Harmony
    2. Amorica
    3. Money Maker
    4. 3 Snakes

    IMO. I'm sure people will jump all over me for ranking Amorica ahead of Money Maker, but hey, I did.

    This is not to say that Money Maker or 3 Snakes are bad albums (far from it, they're great albums, actually), it's just if I could only own 2 BC albums, I'd have to go with Southern & Amorica.

    But this song, in particular, is one of my favorites, so I'd be bummed about that (which goes to show how strong their other albums are).

  17. c.... ....

    This could be the best heroin song of the 90s. Well, one of them. Alice in Chains had a bunch too. :)

    c.... ....

    Yeah, hard to beat Junkhead as best heroin song. Whatever the fuck that means :-)

    c.... ....

    @lednails -- Heroin = Junk

  18. S.... S....

    I like the Black Crowes, but I wasn't a big fan of this album. I do love this song though. In fact, It is probably one of my favorite songs by Black Crowes. Thanks for posting!

  19. m.... ....

    @razzmoney Hey Razz, do make sure to check out SouthernHarmony and musical companion, My all time favorite crows album. It's deep and to me doesn't really start until the third song. But "Sometimes Salvation" is the tune to hear my friend

    m.... ....

    It's a grower. It took me years to appreciate it, but I think it's their best and AFAIK so does Chris.
