Pop, Iggy - Gardenia Lyrics






Gardenia
Where are you?
Black goddess in a shabby raincoat
Where are you tonight?
Cheap purple baby-doll dress
A gardenia in your hair
Much taller and stronger than me
A forbidden dream, a dream, a dream

All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight

Gardenia
Where are you tonight?
The streets were your home
Now where do you roam?
Your hourglass ass
And your powerful back
Your slant devil eyes
And the ditch down your spine
Deep as... Deep as...

All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight

We lay in the darkness
Then she turned the lights on
I saw a dangerous habit
When she turned the lights on
There's always a catch
In the darkness when you
When you turn the lights on
There's always a catch
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight

Alone in the cheapo motel
By the highway to hell
America's greatest living poet
Was ogling you all night
You should be wearing the finest gown
But here you are now
Gas, food, lodging, poverty, misery and gardenia
You could be burned at the stake
For all your mistakes, mistakes, mistakes

All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia
What to do tonight

    All I wanna do is tell Gardenia

    Gardenia
    Where are you, tonight?
    The streets were your home
    Now where do you roam?
    Your hourglass ass
    And your powerful back
    Your slant devil eyes
    And the ditch on your spine
    Deep ass, deep ass

  6. H.... ....

    What's wrong with the world

  7. C.... R....

    This is a golden erect pillar of strength. Peace Christo 👽🐕🎶🛸☮️💀

    C.... R....

    Bowie is smiling in Heaven as this. ....Vibrates thru The pillowy clouds ! Peace Christo 👽🎶🐕🛸☮️💀

  8. L.... J....

    This is good - sounds kind of Bowie-ish.

    L.... J....

    Actually you are getinng an Iggy doing an inpersonation of Bowie doing an Iggy impersonation vibe from it. Know thy history.

  9. D.... K....

    NOLA LOVE 🌼⚜️🌟💕

  10. a.... l....

    Well it rocks, who's bitching......

  11. P.... I....

    🎶🔥🎶

  12. d.... R....

    HOLY SH*T! It's been a LONG time since 1972...and Ig's is STILL The MAN.
    RB/etcetcetc

  13. �.... �....

    most probably a classic in 30 years.

  14. D.... R....

    Soulful tune. Reminds me of 80's Bowie

  15. C.... T....

    There's this absolute PERFECTION about these lyrics.

  16. M.... E....

    lov it!!

  17. B.... B....

    This song makes me want to clean

  18. S.... ....

    really really awesome titles. Just discovered American Valhalla yesterday and i´m completely touched by your spirits. Directly ordered CD and Vinyl. Take care and keep up surprisin´.

  19. V.... a....

    Classic Iggy. Love this..

  20. A.... S....

    GALINHA!!!

  21. S.... K....

    iggy. the un-announced prophet

  22. G.... M....

    I just discovered this song last week, glad to know that real music is still being made.

  23. A.... ....

    Josh Homme trolling Kyuss with this song

  24. D.... I....

    Matt Helders is also present... heathens.

  25. i.... ....

    Lots of idiots saying thats Bowie... Thats a signal of lack of imagination, and then the same idiots demand forma better music, you dont deserve it

  26. R.... D....

    Hmmmm the Heroes cover.....

  27. T.... R....

    The live version on Colbert Report sounds much better than this.

  28. M.... D....

    The Last man standing

  29. k.... ....

    Just like a "Scary monsters" outtake. I dig it.

  30. a.... ....

    One of Iggy's best.

  31. l.... ....

    Orphaned in time i m Feeling like coming home hearing iggys voice

  32. R.... I....

    Oh; AM drummer! Guess this as close as we'll get to a crossover between AM and Bowie

  33. C.... M....

    All in for the moon.

  34. A.... M....

    the backround effect reminds me of "how soon is now" special sound, anyway great artists and song :)

  35. s.... k....

    Homme:Are we covering a Kyuss song???
    Iggy:No,I made a different song.

  36. J.... B....

    Matt fucking Helders!

  37. A.... ....

    to all the people comparing Iggy vs Bowie...there is no and never was a competition. Iggy stands true all by himself, as a genius. Stooges where one of a kind and Iggy's voices always touched my soul.

  38. J.... C....

    Esto es grandioso, estoy enamorado de esta canción

  39. S.... V....

    La iguana volviendo a los viejos tiempos ,que nos queda a los rockeros en estos tiempos ,se fue David Bowie ,Lou Reed ,falta poco para que nos quedemos escuchando solo bandas prefabricadas...

  40. Y.... O....

    The intro reminds me of how soon is now by the smiths.

  41. I.... ....

    Outtake from idiot/lust for life sessions.

  42. C.... C....

    He is SO SO GOOD

  43. T.... S....

    nice song, I love you guys

  44. D.... S....

    Anything by Iggy is awesome

  45. R.... ....

    IT could be on IDIOT album

  46. C.... D....

    This song sounds like it could be a Bowie tune. Iggy's voice sounds like Bowie .

  47. A.... U....

    got this album on Vinyl for christmas, and man everytime i listen to this i love it more and more. Stand out track on the record for me.

  48. P.... C....

    Nice. Bowie music that doesn't irritate me, because this Bowie pretentious stuff isn't in it.
    Just awesome, because for the music on itself. I like it very much.

  49. J.... L....
