Sheryl Crow - A Change Lyrics






Ten years living in a paper bag
Feedback baby, he's a flipped out cat
He's a platinum canary, drinkin' falstaff beer
Mercedes rule, and a rented lear
Bottom feeder insincere
Prophet lo-fi pioneer
Sell the house and go to school
Get a young girlfriend, daddy's jewel

A change would do you good
A change would do you good

God's little gift is on the rag
Poster girl posing in a fashion mag
Canine, feline, Jekyll and Hyde
Wear your fake fur on the inside
Queen of south beach, aging blues
Dinner's at six, wear your cement shoes
I thought you were singing your heart out to me
Your lips were syncing and now I see

A change would do you good
A change would do you good

Chasing dragons with plastic swords
Jack off Jimmy, everybody wants more
Scully and angel on the kitchen floor
And I'm calling Buddy on the ouija board
I've been thinking 'bout catching a train
Leave my phone machine by the radar range
Hello it's me, I'm not at home
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone

A change would do you good
A change would do you good
Hello, it's me, I'm not at home
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone

A change would do you good
A change would do you good

  30. D.... L....

    What's up sheryl? Hope all is well in Missouri. Sure enjoyed a lot of your music. I bought an expensive guitar and set-up. I never had the ear or talent to play very well. Sometimes, I miss it. I got half good at two or three of your selections using sheet music and patience. I still love your earlier song performed in the glass stuffed animal like cases probably at a museum.

  31. s.... ....

    This is a student video the other version was meant to be funny.

Well, Im not chopped liver: and making it means u help if you hear someones in need and deep shit. i dont tweet. im fb. as you know. after all this time, after being encouraged to dig my grave deeper. im kind of upset at cavalierness between artists and ppl who are on street kinda funny. i had fun. then got really bummed out - 80s talk.

    I can't watch a Sheryl Crow video without being biased. I've had a crush on her since 1994. I'm not proud of that fact. It is what it is.

    J.... A....

    James Allen I.miss
    Bill.Clinton!

  44. J.... E....

    QUIRKY yet DEEP ❤️❤️❤️

  45. K.... G....

    i love this song.

  46. M.... A....

    I really like Sheryl Crow. Her gritty bitter songs are the ones I identify with most. There was a joke I saw in a magazine that went like this “ You know your girlfriend is going to leave you when she sees your collection of Sheryl Crow cds”. Clever I think.

  47. J.... W....

    Apart from how good the song is, I really like the bit in the video when she wipes her nose on the back of her hand.

  48. G.... G....

    I never had seen this Version before, lovin' the Feel through the b/w lens <3

  49. b.... ....

    Where's Molly Shannon??

    b.... ....

    WHO IS Molly Shannon?

  50. C.... N....

    Awesome

  51. T.... O....

    I love this woman

  52. R.... M....

    I am the was word God..

    R.... M....

    Sheryl Crow is the was word God..

  53. B.... L....

    I really like this song

  54. M.... B....

    sheryl... so beautiful and so sexy... and 4ever

  55. b.... r....

    Not certain a change would be any good in that. um no, pass on that. No it would not.

  56. J.... V....

    ultimate 90s vibe

  57. J.... P....

    She is a product of the 80's !

  58. A.... -....

    love that !

  59. R.... R....

    Hello it's me. I'm not at home. If you'd like to reach me LEAVE ME ALONE!

  60. L.... M....

    IMO this is her best song. I completely forgot about it and heard it on the radio yesterday. I was like damn...I knew I liked something a lot from her.

  61. S.... M....

    The part I hate about this video is all the guy's stuff getting thrown out the window.Did Sheryl do it?Maybe he wanted to talk to her and it was important.She didn't have to be so nasty to him.The guy didn't deserve this at all.Relationships are so difficult.Men try so incredibly hard to help out with things,and sometimes,there's no gratitude from the woman.I understand men cheat ,but women do the same thing too.The guy deserves someone nicer,not u Ms Crow.Wonderful singer,bad attitude sometimes.

  62. E.... H....

    Who were 63 dislikes?

  63. C.... M....

    How is this the first time I'm seeing this?! I only know the 'bewitched' version with Molly Shannon

  64. d.... y....

    pour moi le meilleur de sheryl crow : de 1994 à 1999.

  65. F.... 1....

    she seems like a decent person. is she doing anything about nuclear? Calloway in her home state MO, a Westinghouse production starring Death and Destruction... operational since 1984 we never needed it, come on...

    F.... 1....

    Feukka Dice it's produced nukuler

    F.... 1....

    bret you lol

  66. R.... M....

    There once was a circus clown who was late for work and they stopped by to the beauty salon on the way to the circus.. So he runs in running around all over the place and he was throwing money all over the room and trying on makeup..

  67. I.... L....

    I really love that bass!! Don't U?

  68. S.... W....

    chasing dragons with plastic swards

  69. M.... A....

    She was so awesome in the '90s.

  70. A.... ....

    Lance Armstrong YOU FOOL!

    A.... ....

    It was for the best because Sheryl would had been mix into his scandal, guilt by association. So it was a blessing in disguise.

  71. W.... H....

    Sheryl is so adorable in this video. She really is the girl next door. All her stuff gets thrown out the window...and she's like screw it...she just rolls with it. Completely unpretentious. always had the impression her life was like this. Taxi ...yo taxi....

    W.... H....

    Cheryl is what girls were like when I was a kid, in the 70's. That's the archetype.

  72. M.... ....

    Scenario A: Don't feel like dancing? That's OK, I'll do the dancing for you.

    Scenario B: Don't feel like dancing? Well, that's too bad, you have no choice but to get up and dance. Now.

    Scenario C: A mix of A and B.

  73. P.... C....

    I swear she's channeling Roger Daltrey

    P.... C....

    he is. Her inner Roger.

    P.... C....

    But they say that you can access a persons higher self..whether alive or dead. Like Abe Lincoln for instance. I haven't tried it with Amadeus yet...excellent idea!

    P.... C....

    Daltrey's a pisces . Difficult to channel. Like James Taylor

    P.... C....

    Weirdest lyric ever chasing dragons with plastic swords.Also what did Sheryl want from her man,Jimmy? Typical,just like a woman.Man does every thing possible to satisfy a woman,but women have 2 problems.1.They expect too much and 2 .They've a serious gratitude problem.Gals like Sheryl sometimes don't have any whatsoever.He didn't deserve to be treated like crap and his stuff thrown out the window and near the street.If the role was reversed,she would feel like the proverbial garbage.Why did Sheryl throw the TV,guitar ,etc out the window in the 1st place?

  74. H.... I....

    By far the coolest most talented person alive today. We need way more like Crow. Hey Sheryl, need a cool website, free for you :)

  75. L.... ....

    Cool and just cruzn on, Go ahead, Sheryl................keep movin'

  76. P.... M....

    my version is better :D

  77. m.... b....

    Sheryl is an alternative and a real free spirit : great !

  78. G.... B....

    Went and picked up Sheryl @ private airport, her and a dog.

    G.... B....

    Greg Beck And you didn't kidnap her? Lame.

  79. A.... ....

    "God's little gift is on the rag." Such a great phrase!

  80. b.... c....

    she is so hot in this

  81. P.... S....

    Only just got into SC..Great stuff , Lovely lady ...Going to dig through You Tube ...

  82. R.... C....

    don't change a thing this is awesome

  83. m.... ....

    My voicemail answer is hello it's me I'm not at home if you'd like to reach me leave me alone. it's a classic.

    m.... ....

    Sounds professional. I'm sure you're succeeding nicely

    m.... ....

    That’s awesome

  84. S.... C....

    A lot of these 90s hits on youtube have less than 2 Million or 1 Million views and someone like Iggy Azalea or Miley Cyrus crap a Youtube video and it gets well over a 100 million or 200 million views.

    S.... C....

    Sean Chaney . true but they didnt sell 1 cd lol

  85. e.... p....

    I need a change!

  86. Y.... G....

    can you spare some change for me?

  87. L.... ....

    LOVE THIS SONG AND VIDEO! 90'S :-)

  88. M.... D....

    The "movie" version is a horrible video. I don't like people talking and stuff in a music video. But at the time this one is pretty boring. I love the song, but don't like either video for different reasons.

    M.... D....

    Just noticed the "movie" version a few minutes ago and I agree it's distracting. This one doesn't fit the tempo..

    M.... D....

    M Robbins, not only distractin, but makes me dizzy. 😩 AND Mary Lynn Rajskub is annoyin in it! MOR than "The Most Annoying Sound in the World" from Dumb and Dumber! Makes me want 2 rip off my shirt like Hulk Hogan! 😠

  89. E.... C....

    the 90's ruled

    E.... C....

    yes it did

    E.... C....

    They were okay, but the 80's were much better though.

    E.... C....

    There was so much good music back then it wasn't funny.

    E.... C....

    Absolutely the '80's were far better. '90s though are better than the 2000's and this decade which isn't saying much, but says something.

    E.... C....

    Totally.

  90. J.... J....

    sex and the city!

  91. V.... B....

    This song applies to most people.

  92. M.... C....

    She looks much younger here

    M.... C....

    She was.

    M.... C....

    @Angelica Rope thanks

  93. C.... B....

    'If you'd like to reach me...leave me alone'...lol That Piscean wit.

    C.... B....

    wait a second..i just checked...she's born feb 11...that's not pisces...i should know :)

    C.... B....

    It's Aquarius wit, if someone wanna get into star signs! Quite right Brian

    C.... B....

    I'm an Aries...I need all the water i can get! Would she marry me? Thank god she is'nt Piscean. I care enough about her that i wouldn't want her to become a boiled fish..get it "boiled fish" Coz ya know i have a fire sign and if she were Piscean, she would have a water sign...oh never mind....

    C.... B....

    Actually in all honesty...that sounds like Gemini wit. I know she is not one but it reminds me of a Gemini.

    C.... B....

    With all that hot air about boiled fish, you'd blow it out your hole and catch your pants on fire for sure. JK
