Joe Jackson - We Can't Live Together Lyrics
In distant lands
There's no such luxury
You'd give your hand
In pre-arranged matrimony
You'd wear the veil
Instead of this running around
And this right to be free
So pleased with ourselves but there's one thing I've found
about you and me
We can't live together
But we can't stay apart
In all my dreams
I've wanted someone like you
With no extremes
But it's too easy, and then it's too hard
And passion gives us away
We know when to play the right cards
But we never know what to say
And we can't live together
But we can't stay apart
Why can't you be just more like me
Or me like you
And why can't one and one
Just add up to two
But we can't live together
And we can't stay apart

Pay attention on piano playing in the back with this awesome guitar solo!!!
Incredible song !!! A rare album !
Such an amazing songwriter. Be my nr 2 is also so brillant.
Once you have heard this gound breaking song and sound, you will never forget! Imagine the audience stayed silent for the whole recording, what reserve.
anch'io :-)
@Jess - not completely ignored! There are many who still worship at JJ's altar. @Bruno - I agree with you totally.
Tondelli mi ha portato qui!
Lo stesso vale per me!
anche a me,just now!
stima per tutti!
Anche a me 😂
Anche a me
ca ne change pas avec le temps ..... toujours un plaisir énorme d’écouter
Recorded and mixed live !
Yeah, recorded live. Joe allways try things to increase the recording translation. Very implied in the recording techniques process. A great album and thank you for having posted this fammous song. ;-)
One of the best guitar solo ever ...
Nijmegen in the 80s, emotional rollercoaster, and Joe always playing in the back.
definitively agree!
Big World was the best album of the 80s. And as such, it was completely ignored.
Big World changed everything for me. Best album of the 80s. Cleverest in every way. And in typical 80s style, completely ignored.
This song is one of the main reasons I got my first fretless bass.
This is an AMAZING SONG. I long ago offered the bass on this as an example on Wikipedia of Ostinato style, in that it resists change. AWESOME recording.
Zo mooi
