Lion and the Cobra

Just Call Me Joe

by Sinéad O'Connor

on Lion and the Cobra (1987)

We came here across the great divide
Into the city, slander all eyes
We found a great love as we fell inside
They could not touch us as we'd go by
I've seen you the first time in Trogny's bar
But I'll see you later, we'll talk of black
We'll meet up for sure, oh will we not?
Away from all of the friends that you've got
Oh no, oh no
I said don't call me sir
just call me Joe
Don't call me lady
Just call me Joe
Don't call me mister
Oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me sweetheart
Just call me Joe
You wear the best clothes that I've ever seen
I've seen your light and your poetry
And it's the best thing that there's ever been
You're both the beauty and the beast
That's how it is and that's how it end
Into another city where you live far away
That's how it is and that's how it end
You've seen my face but you've never heard my name
Oh no, oh oh
I said don't call me sir
Oh, just call me Joe
Don't call me lady
Just call me Joe
Don't call me mister
Just call me Joe
Don't call me sweetheart
Just call me Joe

Leslie Winer lyrics:

We never said goodbye
I said carry your purse with you now
I have regards to you about our night this weekend
and I'm giving you information, the leaves, the leaves they like your teeth
I'm not going to force you now,
come on I had this, this annoying dream
this technology of ours there's this place that is ever so refined that no one knows
and a storm boomer with light action
life is the shadow of a fish,
multiple electrical systems you fly through,
traffic lights that may open a door,
a bunch of computer systems as clear as a cut crystal painting
infinite selections as clear as a crystal ballweapons, tanks, lasers, and aircraft moving
across the sky,
huge missles, and nuclear warheads that stand out more than anything
ultimate satellites, spy cameras, infared sensors,
you, you can hear the thunder, postive thinking
and start to say: I'll make more human development practices,
you don't have to go and stop your field practices
such as: human rights violations,
yeah come up and see me sometime
if you never ever want to intensify all communication,
listening to what I'm not saying over and over,
I feel as if some traveller returned
