Wilco - If I Ever Was A Child Lyrics
I've never been alone
Long enough to know
If I ever was a child
I was tied up like a boat
Set free for a while
Well I jumped to jolt my clumsy blood
While my white, green eyes
Cry like a window pane
Can my cold heart change
Even out of spite?
I slump behind my brain
A haunted stain never fades
I hunt for the kind of pain I can take
And I cry like a window pane
Can my cold heart change
Over night?
So I won't ever want to touch
Your heart too much
Or hold you too tight
I slump behind my brain
A haunted stain will never fade
I hunt for the kind of pain I can take
I never was alone
Long enough to know
If I ever was a child

Wilco If I Ever Was A Child Comments
Genialidad pura ,psicodelia perpetua estraordinarios grandes wilco
My love of Jeff & Wilco brought me here.
Thank you Radio Paradise for introducing me to Wilco!
CKUA radio played this song and i said ... damn ... must hear it again ... rebroadcast of Terry David Mulligans show ... Mulligans stew ...
Eu vim aqui por causa do Jim mas fiquei por causa da música
One of my favorite wilco songs. Deceptively complex. Listen how each layer of instrument comes in, then listen again.
This is us bring me here!
so fascinating ;)
I've never been alone
Long enough to know
If I ever was a child
I was tied up like a boat
On a button like a coat
Set free for the wild
I'd jump to jolt my clumsy blood
While my white, green eyes
Cry like a windowpane
Can my cold heart change
Even out of spite?
I saw
Behind my brain
A haunted stain
It never fades
I hunt
For the kind of pain
I can take
And I cry like a windowpane
Can my cold heart change
Overnight?
So I won't ever want to touch
Your heart too much
Or hold you too tight
I saw
Behind my brain
A haunted stain
It never fades
I hunt
For the kind of pain
I can take
I never was alone
Long enough to know
If I ever was a child
Credit to Google for the lyrics, thank you!
One of my favorite songs lyrically, and easily a top ten wilco track for me.
well this is up brought me here
Lovesick is just great with ending songs.

Why are people here because of Jim Parsons? I don't understand.
Javi Cabezas Moreno he posted on ig
carinissimo!
its hard to find good music like this in 2017
The vibe of this song kinda reminds me of the Ween song Chocolate Town. Kinda has that loping, sunny/bittersweet, countryish like early-'70s Laurel Canyon vibe, right? Beautiful song.
Tuan Jim that’s an extremely specific description. It’s spot on, I love it.
I endorse this description
best song ever
I'm obsessed with this song. I was walking through an outdoor mall and heard it from a speaker in a rock and shazam'd it.
Good music for a nice rainy day 🌧💙
Who the hell is jim parsons lol
Great band.. Book it
how the hell is tweedy so good at making us feel like he's our friend?
Listen to the song Wilco on the Wilco album. ... it's you he's mocking. It's every Wilco fan. ... it's such an audacious brave song but it illustrates perfectly my point. ... the ball is in your court, sir.
And as this is a Wilco thread can we forgo the death threats and yo' mamma' jokes, please?
David Curry No honestly, that's really cool man. Deep analysis.
Wilco mocking their 'adoring fans' is an arch example of post modern humour. And done with such panache! ....heck! ... I feel like Jeff Tweedy is my BFF.
David Curry You represent everything that's true and pure about art. Glad we have ears like yours out there.
This is a beautiful song. And apologise for my facetious first comment.
Drop that fucking dumb gimmick with the left ear only having the base and the right the guitar! It's not natrual or cool it just fucking STUPID!
Sit in a room with them playing, one'll be on the left, one'll be on the right. They won't be "stereo". It makes the performance personal.
Eccellenza
Jim Parsons :D
Could you explain this reference please? I don't get it :/
Sam Lunn he posted the song saying that he likes Wilco and he was waiting for the álbum
Radio Paradise :))
sounds like John Lennon...
Thank you Jim Parsons.
just brilliant
lady friend showed me this song. miss her x10 to the billionth power
I miss her 2
I heard this song via university radio (UMFM 101.5 ), which is the way that we should all discover music.
Who the fuck is Jim Parsons. I came here for WIlco.
I came here from Joan and stayed for Wilco <3
Fantano
6Music brought me here.
Metade das pessoas vieram aqui porque o Jim Parsons gosta dessa música, seria uma pena se eu estivesse fazendo o mesmo.
came because of @midnight
Schmilco is great!
i came here because i noticed joan cornella had made the album cover
Who is Jim Parsons?
I came here not because of Jim Parsons but because I'm a giant Wilco fan. However, Jim Parsons is getting people to listen to Wilco so major props to him!
Jim Parsons anyone?
90.9 KRCL
Thank you, Wilco.
Came here from Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC 6 Music. Love love love this so much!
who is Jim?
I came here from the radio, didn't know how much I was missing out
This is a great song but I always wish Jay Bennet hadn't been sacked from the band after watching the film "I am trying to break your heart" he made a really big contribution to their best album
What happened? Why'd he get kicked?
personality clash imo
More like MAD in a band, but they were going happily off of the clash. It was truly a fucked up thing and I probably shouldn't judge though. Super strange, off the charts type strange, dynamics between Tweedy and Bennet
adorei a capa que o JOan Cornellá fez - e essa música é muito boa, apesar de curta...rsrsrs
jim brought me here
Sounds good 😎
GOOD ASS SHIT! BOUT TIME THESE CUNTZ HAD NEW MEWS
Me sinto tão bem quando escuto essa música 💕
Eu também, passa um sentimento bom.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I came for Wilco, fuck Jim Parsons and fuck that shitty ass show called TBBT
So true. The only reason people think it's funny is because there's a laugh track. If your show has to have a laugh track it's automatically not funny.
ouch! why so rude?
Actually, that's the most he's done. Everything else he does sucks.
+Darth Mindbender He has been acting all his life and has done much theater
I can't absolutely think of any reason as to why and how someone can hate Jim Parsons. Apart from that he actually recommended the song which is again no reason to speak foul about him.
I came here for the Wilco.
sweet tune, and amazing lyrics
Jim Parsons got me here :D
o Jim gosta dessa música, portanto eu tb gosto. 😀
e nois kkk
Yup....Jim Parsons brought me here, love the song
sheldon brought me here
Nice Song
Jim Parsons?
Eu vi no Instagram kkk
What is the reference here?
The Big Bang Theory guy? Hey, alright
Dig it!
Good song, nice changes.
Fucking love Wilco! :)
La banda estadounidense de rock Wilco, publicará el 9 de septiembre su décimo disco de estudio, "Schmilco" del que ya se puede disfrutar de dos temas: "If I ever was a child" y "Locator", que cumplen al pie de la letra la definición de Jeff Tweedy. "Alegremente negativos".
Su discográfica, PIAS, ha anunciado que en total serán doce los cortes de este nuevo trabajo, grabados en el estudio The Loft que poseen en Chicago y compuestos todos ellos por el vocalista y líder de la banda, Jeff Tweedy, que ha ejercido además de coproductor. El nuevo álbum tomará el relevo en el mercado a "Star Wars", que fue publicado por sorpresa en julio de 2015 y que recientemente presentaron en el Vida Festival de Vilanova i la Geltrú. En la nota de prensa se anticipa que "Schmilco" no se basa en las guitarras virulentas con distorsión glam de 'Star Wars' ni en los arreglos deslumbrantes y barrocos que suelen esperar los seguidores de Wilco. En su lugar hay amplitud y caos que se reciben como aire fresco tras veintitantos años de disfrutar sus ahora familiares obras. Es un cabo suelto intencionado". Además el disco llegará con una espléndida portada a cargo de Joan Cornellà, ilustrador e historietista famoso por sus tiras mudas de seis viñetas en las que predomina el humos negro y el absurdo. Es el caso de la carátula de "Schmilco" en la que una niña disfruta de su música favorita gracias a la colaboración de su padre que no duda en electrocutarse para que el tocadiscos vuelva a funcionar.
Considerados un referente del rock alternativo americano, desde que debutaron en 1995 con "A.M." han editado álbumes destacados como: "Being There" (1996), "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" (2002), "A ghost is born" (2004) y "The Whole Love" (2011). En España son un fenómeno, de modo que aquí tienen más reconocimineto que en su propio país.
Música independiente novedades.
Once more, damn good!
M'encanta!!! La cançó de l'estiu 2016 <3
i love this song
yumm
