Bugg, Jake - Swept Away Lyrics






You got me were you want, I placed you in the stars,
Fell for all your charms, too much to pass.
There’s another sign, a darkness to your sigh.
Hard to understand, that both come as one.

You’re like the Russian type, the shot of the hardest drink.
But I stay, swept away.

When you’re good you’re good, when you’re bad you’re on,
Drinking all the wine, singing all the songs.
There’s another sign, sweetest that I know,
Hard to understand, where the person goes.

You’re like Russian type, the shot of the hardest drink.
But I stay, swept away.
Just like a hurricane, blows away the good.
Day by day, swept away.

But I know what I got, I got just what I want.
Too much of everything, sometimes it’s not enough.

You’re like Russian type, the shot of the hardest drink.
But I stay, swept away.
Just like a hurricane, blows away the good.
Day by day, swept away.

    And I thought music died in 1980. Jake is a breath of life for an old malcontent rock , folk and blues fan. I'm hooked. What a towering talent

  33. M.... V....

    i just so fucking in love with his perfect voice! i love thius song!

  34. S.... K....

    How can something like this come from a young teenage boy?  Incredible.

    S.... K....

    @S Kirk I changed my mind. I have given up on a friendly reconciliation and am proceeding with U K law. However, they will always have a chance to reconcile with me in a friendly way.

    S.... K....

    @J Robert Goldner I haven't the slightest idea of what you are talking about.

    S.... K....

    I'm Jake's biological father. Under you U K law, It's my right to have my information on Jake's birth record for no other reason other than it's my right. Jake's mother can make it easier by stepping up to the plate and confirming or a DNA test will be needed for the fact I'm his bio father to be 100% accepted. I don't expect his mother, Jake, or Dave Bugg to confirm because they've weaved a tangled web for themselves. I can help them but it will take time and money. They have chosen not to communicate with me.

    Jake's songs are a priority for me. The Mercury records deal put his newer song recordings in the hands of a rap music producer. The recordings are arranged poorly and sound like well produced demos. I've got my own arrangements and will be covering his songs.

    S.... K....

    @J Robert Goldner  That's quite a claim....but frankly, I don't see any biological resemblance.  He does however look like his actual father.  I suggest you get some much needed help.

    S.... K....

    Trim his bangs he looks like me when I was a teenager.

    I appreciate your concern. There's no evidence I need help. It's just your opinion. Dogged determination not to change your position, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so. To the contrary, I'm on good ground. What Leeysa did can be compared to copyright infringement. Duplicating the original..LOl

  35. M.... ....

    So so so beautiful love his nusic

  36. P.... M....

    What a tune!! cannot wait to see Jake Bugg @ T in the park this year!!!

  37. D.... ....

    This will always be one of the saddest songs I've ever heard in my entire life. 
    Too much sadness there, not only in the song, but also in the times when I found it.

    D.... ....

    Look up “please please please let me get what I want” by dream academy and “isn’t it a pity” by George Harrison

  38. C.... ....

    This is... pure love

  39. S.... K....

    That guitar interlude...

  40. J.... T....

    Jake is a legend in the making.
    Keep up the good work!!!

  41. B.... T....

    awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  42. S.... K....

    Why isn't this on an album? 

    S.... K....

    Americans already love him, and if he isn't really a Bugg then why does he look so much like David, his Uncles and all his cousins on the Bugg side? You're just a spoofer mate get lost.

    S.... K....

    @Reddevil20 Thanks mate. The answers to your questions will add to the evidence that proves the origin of Jake's musical talent has been purposely hidden for selfish and greedy reasons.

    S.... K....

    How? Just answer the question ❓

    S.... K....

    @Reddevil20 No. I've answered other questions by you with answers that are evidence proving my allegations are true. You've never apologized or admitted you were wrong. What's your interest? It's not music. As you can see by the posts in this thread, we're all about music and connecting people with Jake's songs. Which one of the Bugg's do you know personally? You know Leeysa? Jake's Mum.

    S.... K....

    @Reddevil20 Cut his bangs off and around ears he looks like me when I was a teenager.

  43. B.... T....

    Has a Led Zeppelin feel.

    B.... T....

    Good ear

    B.... T....

    I was actually thinking had a Beatles feel

  44. S.... K....

    Jake is that rare soul....unique in his ability to come into a world of sickness and maintain his sense of beauty and humanity.  Grounded but affected.  Now we can share in his vision.  A beautiful person....and so immensely talented. 

    S.... K....

    @S Kirk I agree with you about his music and his songs. I don't agree with you regarding Jake the person. His passion is split 50/50 between his music and making money with his music. He doesn't care if his audience likes his music. He has a take it or leave it attitude. He's willing to lie to get what he wants.

    S.... K....

    @J Robert Goldner  Do you personally know him?  And if so, how?

    S.... K....

    @S Kirk I don't know him.

    S.... K....

    @S Kirk I think that Jake is interested in exactly one thing: music. And thankfully he understands that one needs a fair amount of money to go on making music the way one wants. 
    Jake will never make bad music to please audiences, although often that is exactly what is needed to please audiences. (One thing I've learnt since getting to know Jake's music is that I've always underestimated the amount of mud that most people have in their ears.) The only way he'll sometimes compromise, as he understands the need to make money, is by selecting tracks that allow, so to speak, for a double reading: that are really good but can also be appreciated by people with bad ears.

    S.... K....

    @Osip P. I've always tuned into the fact that Jake Bugg is his own man.  He doesn't mind standing alone.  He is young and doesn't have the experience to know some things and could be influenced in ways he doesn't recognize.  But all in all...he's not stupid.  He knows he has to make some compromises in order to continue.  The lure of the stage and the money is a mighty thing to easily give up. However, I don't think he would sacrifice his soul....like so many do.  The devil tempt's....but I think Jake is wise enough not to cross that line.

    People today live in an adult XXX world.  They are hardened and haven't been exposed to much beauty and depth.  It's all physical and instant gratification.  They are spoiled and without God.  The moral compass is spinning out of control.  They want to feel powerful.  The world is moving fast and images of the most vile horror and overt sex are constantly being shot their way.  They live on the internet.  Interpersonal connection is a hook up.  The older generation have a different perspective to draw on.  But when they die out....few will be around who know beauty, kindness, compassion and empathy.  Tyranny will overtake them because they won't see it coming.

    Jake has touched many young people.  Thank God.  He has given them another perspective.  A perspective that touches the heart and soul.  Most are thirsty for that connection.  I thank him for providing such a place.  

  45. C.... ....

  79. J.... ....

    I'm glad his music actually has meaning and depth and isn't like the artificial "mainstream" music you hear today.

  80. b.... ....

    hes hair looks so much like one of the guys from the Beatles

  81. F.... H....

    Wauh - there IS hope for the future

  82. D.... P....

    I thought the same thing. he is a mix of john Lennon and Bob dylan with a dash of Donavan. He has that kind of talent
    He is definately and old sole. the amazing thing is, unlike many of the acts we see today, he writes his own stuff. Incredibly talented. I am seeing him in Boston the Sept 19th

  83. D.... P....

    spotify you can download...itunes you can burn

  84. J.... S....

    Was this song and any of the others that you posted ever released for sale? If not do you know where i could obtain them?

  85. S.... P....

    those are going to be worth A LOT after about twenty years.

  86. j.... m....

    His music reminds me of the 60's when life was nothing but simple, when people weren't as rude as some people giving derogatory comments and when music was much sensible like this of Jake.

  87. J.... W....

    Legend!

  88. k.... ....

    PERFECTION X

  89. s.... l....

    love it!!
