Doors, The - Hyacinth House Lyrics






What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?
What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?
To please the lions this day

I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me
I need a brand new friend who doesn't trouble me
I need someone, yeah, who doesn't need me

I see the bathroom is clear
I think that somebody's near
I'm sure that someone is following me, oh yeah

Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?
Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play

And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend, the end

  33. R.... R....

    It has taken me over 22 years to really listen to these lyrics properly. It is as though JIm was predicting his death - I see the bathroom is clear i think someone is near am sure someone is following me and so forth.. Am I imagining this shit lol

    R.... R....

    Need a brannd new friend "the End"

  34. T.... V....

    The Lizard King was only theatre and here is the real James. Afraid, paranoid,vulnerable and more moving than ever. The Jack of Hearts was the only card in the deck he had left to play. Thank you for the poetry, man! I drink to that!

  35. S.... ....

    no better than this

    S.... ....

    you're right

  36. m.... k....

    my favorite the doors song

  37. R.... C....

    Hey, all u cats Jim will always be Pasadena

  38. O.... ....

    ...Beautiful Keyboards Ray !

  39. s.... l....

    Pams cat

  40. S.... M....

    Organ is amazing

  41. A.... D....

    "I need someone who doesn't need me"..
    Morrison was really 10 people in one..

  42. J.... H....

    Something about this song through Jims delivery brings depth and layers to the song.

  43. A.... B....

    did they ever find out what they were doing in the hyacinth house ?

  44. p.... ....

    Feels like a song about rejection

  45. I.... ....

    I don't know what they are up to in that there darn house but it sure sounds good.

  46. K.... S....

    What a great Doors song. Seldom heard, but a classic none the less. Am gonna play my drums along with that song.

  47. s.... ....

    2019 still listening masterpieces

  48. b.... ....

    by far best composition on this album

  49. M.... D....

    spellbinding

  50. I.... N....

    _*right click_
    _*bucle_

  51. o.... ....

    Jim foreshadowing his fate in a few months

  52. C.... F....

    No one among their peers was going to do something of this poignancy, no f'ckin way. Airplane ? Nope. Dead ? Nope. Canned Heat ? Nope. Joplin, Hendrix, none of 'em...

    C.... F....

    disagree.... dylan, some beatles songs, some hendrix, neil young and a couple of others could and did delve into lyrical conceptual layered lyrics like this..... I will say though morrison is misunderstood & underrated b/c far too many focus either on his destruction and/or his glamour sex symbol side. in songs like this he couldnt really penetrate texture wise the multidimensional sides to the culture & mind. he may have been the best rock lyricist re the wide scape sweeping narrative of the over all western culture. songs like wasp, wtmo, the end, riders are very powerful takes on the western continuum. the now, the past & future on the river west.

  53. J.... J....

    Obra cumbre :3

  54. M.... N....

    Fajnie że Ray wykorzystał cytat z Chopina

  55. D.... U....

    I see the bathroom is clear

  56. K.... B....

    They don‘t write pop songs like THIS anymore! I like the absence of Autotune!

  57. T.... J....

    Favorite doors song from my favorite doors album

    T.... J....

    🤣🤣🤣same

  58. A.... K....

    I need someone who doesn't need me. Great line.

  59. C.... A....

    Que buena canción

  60. P.... N....

    the stuff about the bathroom being clear, and feeling that someone is near - that is some heavy, eerie shit, when you consider how Jim died....a premonition? Or simply inspired musing? Either way, it's unsettling - and very moving. Such a magnificent song.....

  61. D.... M....

    Should of left Pam alone she played the jack of heart's

  62. A.... ....

    One of the best songs ever written? Possibly ... with a dash of Chopin no less. Poor fragile Jim. 'I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me ...' Don't we all!

  63. R.... B....

    Fans of this song should read "Closing the Doors," by Rick Hautala, in _Solved: Top Authors Tackle the Biggest Unsolved Crimes of the 20th Century._

  64. O.... R....

    Fabuloso !!!

  65. M.... V....

    I need someone.. who doesn't need me

  66. s.... ....

    2:09 tributo a la polonesa heróica de Chopin, genio Manzarek

  67. T.... D....

    Love it!

  68. L.... G....

    Jim Morrison predicts his death in the near future in this song. Jim was a visionary and a poet. He predicted many things in future music that came to pass.

  69. E.... ....

    The End part 2

    E.... ....

    🤣🤣 you're right

  70. m.... ....

    The Doors, forever! ❤🍻

  71. L.... Y....

    Quién tiró el Jack de corazones?

  72. G.... D....

    Lp in Vinile,capolavoro !!! GIN(): )

  73. r.... t....

    i sure that's someone following me

  74. B.... T....

    This was a troubling jim he had seen corporate America ripping up our dream of being free and lawyers were trying to keep him out of prison his life was caveing in were all a bunch of slaves with the rich were getting rich on.the war machine

  75. p.... c....

    Jim hasn't gone - he's just left the Hyacinth for a while. As each day passes I know we're getting closer to meeting up
    once again.

  76. a.... ....

    Ive been singing this song in my head for 14 years now that was quick love the doors

  77. L.... ....

    Jerry Scheff was hired for the LA Woman session. Some of Jerry's first studio work was with The Association on Along Comes Mary. He fit well with the band and was hired to be a full time member. They were set to start the LA Woman Tour and......., Jim died. Jerry is still with us and is now 78. He had previously worked with Elvis and most recently Elvis Costello. Jerry had toured Ray Manzarek  before Ray passed away.

  78. m.... r....

  79. P.... U....

    "It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play"

    And I say it again I need a brand new friend.

  83. L.... J....

    Dzisiejszy dzien jest smutny. Odszedl Ray😥

  84. P.... W....

    The verse that begins “Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?” is a brilliant lyric

  85. T.... F....

    Said - yyyeeaaahhh

  86. C.... P....

    ....So Awesome ...Thanks.....The Tour Would Of Been Over the Top ....Rock On to the Doors !!

  87. S.... F....

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?
    To please the lions this day

    I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me
    I need a brand new friend who doesn't trouble me
    I need someone, yeah, who doesn't need me

    I see the bathroom is clear
    I think that somebody's near
    I'm sure that someone is following me, oh yeah

    Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?

    Pure love!

  96. V.... A....

    Yeah
    What aRe They doing in the Hyacinth house ???
    Cool song as always.
    😉👍🏼

  97. k.... ....

    this song just draws you in, even if you try to pull away. like a black star. so deeply sad. its as if the band was subconsciously channeling in to jim's own industry exit or worse the big check out. all cards laid out on a well worn & lived table. the honesty is point blank brutal, yet beautifully honest.

  98. b.... w....

    America's best rock band
