Elliott Smith - Sweet Adeline Lyrics
Cut this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards, kill this history
Make it over, make it stay away
Or hate'll sing the ending that love started to say
Sunshine for a brother, old man winter's in the air
Walked me up a story, asking how you are
Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star
Sweet Adeline
Sweet Adeline
My Clementine
Sweet Adeline
It's a picture-perfect evening and I'm staring down the sun
Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head
Or any situation where I'm better off than dead

Elliott Smith Sweet Adeline Comments
My favorite Elliot Smith track. I hope he found the peace in death that he couldn’t in life. “Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head.
Or any situation where I'm better off than dead.” RIP

Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head
or any situation where I'm better off then dead
“Fully loaded, staring down the sun” will be my gravestone
Make it over make it stay away
"Father callahan, let me put it to you. If a dozen reliable witnesses told you that a giant ladybug had lumbered through the town park at high noon singing 'Sweet Adeline' and waving a Confederate flag, would you believe it ?"

Even in death, Elliot’s music helped me get through so much. Some songs are hard to listen to because they bring up bad memories, but at the same time I’m at a better place in life and they remind me where I came from. RIP

i listened to Elliot again like 10 minutes ago... and i was listening to such positive stuff and was elliot clean for a while... now it's dark.
most relatable cmmnt 2k18
I thought it was "picture perfect ending" at first.
This song always gets stuck in my head. This is the best Elliott Smith album!
Song is awesome but album is boring if you cant relate to it
Anyone who has dealt with loss, depression, addiction, or overall stagnation with the world around you can relate to specifically this album.
The Borden Asylum Right. So everyone currently living
@Jesters Children you must've had a nice life.
@Cynthia Cynthia everyone's life is a gift and if you're bored it's your problem.
