Mark Lanegan - One Way Street Lyrics

Tremenda canción e interpretación.

True masterpiece

19 people w/ a terrible music taste disliked it

I heard Lanegan for the 1st time yesterday on a Greek film called Chevalier. I've been listening to him obsessively since!

Hi! beautiful song. the lyric is wrong in some parts I think..: "in a psychotropic light, you can't get out", and I don't know if it's "when mystery is aside", or "a sight", like a perspective. I'm uruguayan so i'm not sure or if it is that clear. Thanks.

He actually says "mystery is a sigh". Sorry I know this is late

This is poetry...and art of the highest calibre!

Loving it's never where it's supposed be.

My right ear is really enjoying this. Maybe it’s my earbuds. Anyhow, brilliant isn’t good enough to describe this song.

Man, it is too good.
Respect from RF

The real ace of the whole Seattle scene..three decades and more amazing with age

Too beautiful

he's a lone wolf lonely at the top , he's the best

"There's a well that howls my name"...
No need to say more, sigh...

just fucking perfect tragic fragmented poetic beautiful timeless tones of soul

Με σκοτωσε, και τωρα ειμαι ελευθερος.

Oh my only just discovered this underrated artist this evening. The mesmerizing vocals and music have infected my mind, my life will never be the same again. Aiutami a fugire.

It doesn’t matter when you find him,you’re life is enriched from that moment on. I’m sure someone will have a problem with that but oh my god I don’t care. I think 1995 is when I discovered him with Mad Season and I wished it had been sooner

che voce incredibile

Madamnesia avuto la fortuna di vederlo a Sestri Levante 3 anni fa..voce che ti entra dentro

@andino444sono tornata a riascoltare la sua voce e trovo la tua risposta al mio commento, dopo un anno :-) deve essermi sfuggita la tua risposta... comunque, hai ragione, ha una voce incredibile

@Madamnesia 👍

Excellent.

Brilliant

Ouh Mark...such a great poet, I can play this one a million times...

Love the line "I drink so much sour whiskey I can hardly see" Ever get blind from all the booze Mark? "That seasick rolling wave." "The glorious sound of the one way street." Meaning our longing for peace & quiet in an overpopulated world that roars in our faces day in and day out. Mark Lanegan is pure genius!

Idk if that's what he means but that's a brilliant take on it

Hey I know you

Perfection

Also , it must be so tough being an adored musician. Haha

Your average IT guy is more adored and makes more money, so not really sure what that meant.

He is not just a great,amazing singer. He is one brilliant poet. His wordplay is magical and sometimes unbelievable. It is natural or he has one hell of a deep imagination

Try writing music as a means to pay the bills for a solid 50 years. Its a human skill at the end of the day.

Lucas Diehl And to think that his lyrics have become trippier and more cryptic since, almost bordering on surrealism at times

Have you read I am the wolf? Excellent and can’t wait for Sing Backwards And Weep

@Michael Blaine I was a little disappointed with I Am The Wolf but I have high hopes for Sing Backwards And Weep. Can't wait

So much remorse, pain, shame expressed in so little time., fields songs is 10/10

I drink so much sour whiskey I can hardly see

Brent Ort I was just scrolling through the comments whilst listening and I read your quote at the exact moment he sang it. I love stuff like that.☺

Brent Ort I know this is five years later but, same.

ultimate winter song

Best male rock vocalist of our generation. Why are his first 5 solo records not in print on vinyl? Huge waste. Also the Screaming Trees' SST records are not available on vinyl at stores, just one compilation. Huge waste.Get it together People.

but you cant get down without crying

Just two weeks ago, (or three?) I saw Mark here in my place, Rotterdam. And oh my god, he was great, he was great, again!

Ohuenno!

wow his voice is unreal!!!!

"There's a well that howls my name"? Canção fenomenal.

אוהבת אותך

50,526 people listened to this and 2 people dislike it.

Same here haha.. untill now

I think the lyric is supposed to be "Love, I come to ride, high on that sea-sick rolling wave"...Just seems to make more sense.

I always thought it was "on that sea sick rolling wave"

Pretty sure he says "psychotropic light".

sounds like a aki kaurismäki film. very real, charismatic and depressive... but great

wonderful song and lyrics love it!
