Lucinda Williams - What If Lyrics
I shudder to think
What it would mean
If the president wore pink
Or if a prostitute was queen
How would the world change
If thick became thin
And the world was rearranged
If the rains brought down the moon
And daylight was feared
And the sun rose too soon
And then just disappeared
If dogs became kings
And hobos had wings
And God was a bum
If houses became trees
And flowers turned to stone
And there were no families
And people lived alone
If buildings started laughing
And windows cried
And feet started clapping
And out came inside
If mountains fell in slivers
And the sky began to bleed
And blood filled up the rivers
And prisoners were freed
If the stars fell apart
And the ocean dried up
And the world was one big heart
And decided to stop
If children grew up happier
And they could run with the wolves
And they never felt trapped
Or hungry or unloved
If cats walked on water
And birds had bank accounts
And we loved one another
In equal amounts

Lucinda Williams What If Comments
intelligent song writer just a dad
What a song for when you're piss of with the world love it
is this the sort of thing you would like to do
PERFECT FOR A FAVE
This song is similar to Neil Young's Cortez the Killer, isn't it?
yes it is - but what the hell - both songs are brilliant and I'm sure NY hasn't minded the nicked chord sequence cos LW is class
Mom, please teach "Rock n Roll" me into medicine. Because all around me all the poison of life.... I shudder to think /
What it would mean /
If the President wore pink /
If a prostitute was Queen. /
hmmmm.........
what if sweety, only if, .....
The song (IMO) is in touch with worldwide conscious evolutionary awareness...metaphorically, the world is in dire need of a spring clean...its gonna get one too...
Symbolically, those with the most to lose (materialism) will lose spiritual advancement...whilst human species marches to a Utopian concepts. Like it or not, it IS heading that way.
The Peoples will sicken of war...eventually!
Sometimes the simplest of facts are transcribed with words of a song put to music...
Peace People
that cat walking in water picture just doesnt seem to fit, even if the next line is about birds having bank acounts, it seems out of place but otherwise, great such a beautiful hermosa cancion!!
If hobos had winds and god was a bum........ what if .......Lucinda is the real deal.
does some one know if Lucinda Williams has also sung the song "my only one"? i have a link to this song on another website, if you think you can help i can provide the link so you can check out the song..its beautiful and i have been trying to find its singer and have a hunch it is her.....but not sure :-(
be patient i will try
Thanks, I should have remembered (the rain). It feels like that here today.
Not seen this for a while. Last time I tried, it had been blocked or removed. I recall 'Somegravity' had also posted a very nice montage set to a piece by Damien Rice - can't find that now. Would love to see it again if possible
'What If' ????? Indeed.
I just love this song (and Lu). Can't stop watching. Thanks again.
If only 'the others' had her Vision. We can Dream.
