It's off then it's on
It's on then it's gone
It's high and it's steep
It's wide and it's deep
F*ck with me, and I'll f*ck with you
Isn't that what we're supposed to do
Kick me down and I will kick you too
Isn't that what we're supposed to do
I've been swimming in the dirty water
I've been swimming where the fish won't go
I've been swimming in the dirty water
I've been swimming where the fish won't go
It's off then it's on
It's on then it's gone

Bullet Lovers
Black as night black as life
Hungry for some of that easy life
Stoney cold and a twistin' moon
Live it fast you're gonna get there soon
Look out world 'cause we know how to fight
Someone's gonna get shot tonight
Black eyed blonde and a blonde eyed black
Come from hell and we won't be back
I'm in your blood and I'm in your bones
Better dead than to be stuck alone
Look out world cause here she comes
Suckin' on her painted thumbs
Hey, it's ok I will never go away
Hey, it's alright when the
Day turns into night
Hungry for some of that easy life
Stoney cold and a twistin' moon
Live it fast you're gonna get there soon
Look out world 'cause we know how to fight
Someone's gonna get shot tonight
Black eyed blonde and a blonde eyed black
Come from hell and we won't be back
I'm in your blood and I'm in your bones
Better dead than to be stuck alone
Look out world cause here she comes
Suckin' on her painted thumbs
Hey, it's ok I will never go away
Hey, it's alright when the
Day turns into night

Sometimes Always
[ Featuring Hope Sandoval ]
I gave you all I had
I gave you good and bad
I gave but you just threw it back
I won't get on my knees
Don't make me do that please
I've been away but now I'm back
Don't be too sure of that
What makes you sure of that
You went away you can't come back
I walked away from you
I hurt you through and through
Aw honey give me one more chance
Aw you're a lucky son
Lucky son of a gun
You went away, you went away
You went away but now youre back
I got down on my knees
And then I begged you please
I always knew you'd take me back

Come On
sung by Jim
written by Jim
We've got nothing but that's alright
Nothing could be something if the feelings right
Holding onto something doesn't make it mine
Got to get to heaven but we don't have time
So come on
Bright light city set my soul on fire
Couldn't get me worried couldn't get me higher
Scream for me baby 'cause I'm going down
Got to get to heaven when the sun goes down
So come on

Between Us
Sung by william
Written by william
Been a lot between us
And I guess there's more to come
We've been doing something right
But sometimes it goes wrong
We've been through places
And we won't be back again
We've been through faces
But I guess that never ends
I don't know what's goin on
Have we done something wrong
I've been strange I've been too strange
I've been to somewhere else and
I've been too strange
How come you saw right through my head
How come you saw inside my head
How come you know what's in my head
Been a lot between us
And I guess there's more to come
We've been doing something right
But sometimes it goes wrong
We were never scared of light
But the shadows that it throws
Are digging deep inside of us
And I think we're full of holes

Hole

Written by jim
This has been my prison
Got no high got no low
This has been religion
Took my heart killed my soul
All I want is a dream
Give me something to dream
Got myself in a scene
Don't know where I've been
All I want is a dream
Something naked and clean
Somebody give me a call
I'm climbing up on the wall
And I want it all
And I need it all
I can't get it
Took my heart and soul
Give them back to me

She
sung by Jim
written by Jim
She comes undone
Got no fix she had no fun
Tries to shoot holes in the sun
It's got her running
She comes complete
With a switchblade and her speed
But she can't take all this heat
It's got her hiding
But I just don't get her
No I just don't get her at all
She wants to break my fall
She doesn't speak at all
She spends her day
on her knees she likes to pray
You can always hear her say
That life means something
She spends her time
Out of space and out of line
Planning some unholy crime
That comes to nothing
She said
How do you think it feels

Wish I Could
Sung by william
Written by william
We were searching for a fire
And we settled for a spark
Sparks glow like stars in the dark
Of course they do just like you
And I wish that I could fall for you
Yeah I wish that I could fall for you
Yeah I wish that I could fall
Well jesus walked
On the water on the water
We walk on dampness too
Yes we do through and through
If we had the time we'd take it
If we had the mind we'd make it
If we had the love
We could leave this world behind
Oh I wish that I could fall
Yeah I wish that I could fall
Yeah I wish that I could fall

Unholy

My sould don't want to know me
I've been living like dirt
Hey lover

Oh save me
Nothing right for me lately
I was wrong but don't hate me
I've been doing it for myself

Till It Shines
Sung by william
Written by william
Come, come and dry your eyes
Before the morning sun arrives
Kiss, everybody is a star
No matter who or what they are
I could tell the truth but what's the use
It's been abused by us
Junk the junk love the love
It's a secret from above
Ain't it good it's the drug that keeps us true
I got to get some through to you
I got mine and I got you
Just for the two of us
Come, come and dry your eyes
And watch the morning sun arrive
Kiss, everybody is a star
No matter who or what they are
I could tell the truth but what's the use
It's been abused by us
Until it shines
Till it shines
I won't die

Girlfriend
sung by Jim
written by William
Don't wanna hear about your sins
Dirty little stories about needles and skin
Don't wanna hear about how you scored
The guys who tripped, how you're dress got torn
Don't wanna speak in the same old tongue
Don't wanna bite and I don't want burned
Don't wanna live in the same old place
Got new ideas and I got new taste
Come on you are my friend
Some things will never end
We done our time and we had some fun
I want to get things done
Don't wanna hear about your sins
Dirty little stories about needles and skin
Don't wanna hear about that stuff
You've done too much but it's not enough
One more kiss turns to one more hit
Well I don't feel like kissing on it
One more hit turns to one more crash
You move too slow but it's much too fast
Come on you are my friend
Some things will never end
We done our time and we had some fun
My life has just begun

Everybody I Know

Too long I have been a slave
Kissing dirt for what I crave
Too long I have been a liar
Too long I had fun with fire
Ghosts of people I have been
Come around and shout obscene
Ghosts of things I've said and done
Come to haunt me watch me run
Everybody I know is falling apart
Everybody I know wants to die
Wants to find

Youve Been A Friend
What if I say
I couldn't take another day
Aw if I told you would you stay
And I've got you
And you've always seen me through
Aw if I told you would you stay
I can't live without you
Now you're gone
Aw is it true
Did I leave you black and blue
I didn't tell you I was real
Gone on so long
It feels so right but wrong
I couldn't tell you what I feel
I can't live without you
But I'll try
You make the comedown easy
You've been a friend
I couldn't take another day
Aw if I told you would you stay
And I've got you
And you've always seen me through
Aw if I told you would you stay

Now you're gone
Aw is it true

Stoned & Dethroned is the fifth studio album by the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain. After spending most of 1992 touring, including a slot on that year's Lollapalooza tour, the band went into the studio during January 1993 with the notion of recording an acoustic album. For the first time since Psychocandy, JAMC recorded with a full band with Steve Monti from Curve playing drums and touring bassist Ben Lurie. The recording took longer than planned, lasting the better part of a year. The album also features lead vocals from guests Shane MacGowan from The Pogues on "God Help Me" and Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval, singing a duet with Jim Reid on "Sometimes Always", which was the album's first single.
As of May 1998 the album has sold 121,000 copies in United States according to Nielsen SoundScan.
