Smith, Patti - April Fool Lyrics






Come - be my April Fool
Come - you're the only one
Come - on your rusted bike
Come - we'll break all the rules

We'll ride like writers ride
Neither rich nor broke
We'll race through alleyways
In our tattered cloaks so

Come - be my April Fool
Come - we'll break all the rules

We'll burn all of our poems
Add to God's debris
We'll pray to all of our saints
Icons of mystery
We'll tramp through the mire
When our souls feel dead
With laughter we'll inspire
Then back to life again

Come - be my April Fool
Come - you're the only one

Be my April Fool
You're the only one

Come
Come - be my April Fool
Come
Come - we'll break all the rules

  9. N.... C....

    La mia sacerdotessa!

  10. A.... d....

    Brough here by literary jukebox. Great song!

  11. J.... L....

    Rock doesn't matter? No one told Patti Smith thank God. She's the epitome of what makes rock & roll great all these decades later. I shiver when I hear her voice - with the chill of her artistry. She understood Elvis, got The Beatles, absorbed Dylan, Ginsburg, Burroughs, Bukowski & Rimbaud. Gave back to us what the old guard couldn't do. The Big Band was great music. Rock became great musical art. Many know this today thanks to a Patti Smith. "My Blakean Year" is another -- astonishing.

  12. A.... G....

    ¿Quién te va a cuidar? En este mundo peligroso tenemos que estar juntos.¿Quien detendrá a la turba iracunda si no estoy con vos nena? Con este magnetismo que sigue bajando nena.

  13. G.... B....

    I saw her in Palermo (Sicily) on 1th August...GREAT. ITALY LOVES HER!!!

  14. 3.... ....

    I'd be honored to be Patt's April Fool on this April Fool's Day...or any day. What a talent. So glad the good music is still coming. Mmwahh!

  15. s.... J....

    Elle a traversé les modes cette grande poètesse !!

  16. s.... J....

    Hé oui ! 65 ans et un talent intact, beaucoup devrait prendre exemple !!
    Photographe, chanteuse, musicienne,chanteuse, poète, peintre, bref ! une artiste complète..Considérée en 1970, comme la marraine du mouvement Punk !

  17. t.... ....

    It's a shame you had to point out the obvious, you don't understand irony, do you! More importantly though, it's sad you have to try and leach onto one of the best female artists of all time in a sad attempt to get your 15 minutes of fame.

  18. G.... R....

    Wow, you like the word enough to type it hundreds of times. Takes one to know one.
    Strange, strange, strange, etc.....

  21. L.... S....

    que mulher é essaaaa

  22. m.... ....

    люблю ее красивый голос, ее лирики, все! классс)))

  23. j.... ....

    ... bardzo dużo tlenu w tym jej śpiewie , aż się chce oddychać pełną piersią

  24. f.... z....

    como para estar en una fiesta, diciembre o no, frío o no...

  25. n.... m....

    Her voice has become more musical with age. That annoying nasal whine that marred so many of her early great songs has all but disappeared.

  26. I.... A....

    The number one rock'n roll lady!

  27. m.... ....

    great stuff and that tom verlaine guitar at end brings me to mind of WIlco "impossible Germany",,,

  28. w.... ....

    YES, GREAT

  29. K.... M....

    Yes Yes Yes I'm your Fool! Engage!!

  30. S.... ....

    I'm seeing her tonight!!! =D

  31. w.... ....

    saw her show in Newcastle ,amazing.........what a woman what a true icon!

  32. l.... l....

    So beautiful, Patti Smith is poetry's friend.

  33. l.... ....

    fuckin Verlaine!...YEAH!

  34. s.... ....

    I liked this song when I first heard it, but was disappointed to find out it was an allusion to Freaking Gorky, or whoever. It sort of told me that everything in life, no matter how simple, had to be a literary allusion, which is just not true.

  35. C.... M....

    Damn, this is fine.

  36. S.... B....

    Patti Smith!!We missed You and this is a Real come back.Feels GOOD.

  37. p.... ....

    Where was that!!!? Lucky you.TheLisbonGirl

  38. m.... ....

    A lyrical homage to the delicious temptations of a coarse and randy love.

  39. G.... R....

    Thanks for the comment. But the intro riff to both songs contain the same notes in almost the same sequence. The songs are very different after that. My song is a harder rocker, Patti's a more mellow one. I hadn't noticed until 2 friends pointed it out to me.

  40. l.... ....

    I see no similitudes with your song... Sorry.

  41. K.... M....

    I got April Fool on April 1st as an email from Patti's album label.

  42. N.... J....

    My repeat mode ATM!!!!! :D

  43. S.... P....

    SATURDAY NIGHT I WILL SEE PATTI!!! FREE ENTRY!!!!!!! ;-)

  44. g.... F....

    Adorable music. Patty is always inspired. I saw her on stage in Paris, 10 years ago. She is one of my favourite female singers.I'm happy to see her doing a new record. I'm happy to see the great Alanis Morisette coming back again too!

  45. a.... p....

    απριλη ψευτη......

  46. V.... ....

    i have loved Patti longer than anyone.. this song is a gem ....how very different from her early more aggressive wailing stuff - which i loved too -- she has aged with grace xxx

  47. G.... R....

    Great song, but it seems Patti borrowed my riff. The song I wrote and recorded/released years ago called, I Don't Know. Available on iTunes and Cdbaby. It's a big compliment
    to me as a song writer. Cheers, Gordon Rothbard

  48. B.... L....

    OMG my friend and I heard this song on my radio while we were making cookies and it was like "be my april fool" and we were like wtf

  49. H.... ....

    Unmistakeably Tom Verlaine playing the guitar solo. Nice job Tom.
    Okay, so I already knew ahead of time it was him. But it would have been an easy guess, as he's always had a real distinctive style I like. Arguably, lots of people today (Thurston Moore, Nels Cline, Johnny Marr, & others) play Fender Jazzmasters & Jaguars 'cause Tom, starting in the '70s made those particular, once obscure, unloved, & cheap-2nd-hand Fenders semi-popular, with a much admired unique sound to them.

  50. B.... R....

    The guitar on this is beautiful. Patti's voice has gotten better with age. I love the way she has evolved over the years. Sometimes I miss the rage and the fire of Radio Ethiopia days, but I am glad to be here and have Patti's work as the backdrop to all these changes.

  51. H.... V....

    a very fleetwood mac sound!

  52. B.... B....

    such a great first single. lyrically, remains one of the best on the entire album, but honestly, it's ALL great. Genius - Rock. Genius.

  53. B.... D....

    Great great song!

  54. C.... N....

    She is beautiful and voice incredible.

  55. G.... W....

    I can't wait for the release of this CD I have it per-ordered

    We'll pray to all of our saints
    Icons of mystery
    We'll tramp through the mire
    When our souls feel dead
    With laughter we'll inspire
    Then back to life again

    Come you're the only one
    Come be my April Fool
