Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an American singer and musician. His music and style changed considerably through the years; his first album (1966) was mostly folk oriented, but over time his music incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, avant-garde and an evolving "voice as instrument," sound. He died aged 28, leaving behind wife Judy and son Taylor, and son Jeff Buckley from his marriage to Mary Guibert. more »

You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go
You don't remember what to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel
You kneel down

All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street

The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies
You thought you were flying but
You opened your eyes
And you found yourself falling
Back to yesterday's lies
Hello, Pleasant Street
You know she's back again
You wheel, you steal, you feel
You kneel down

All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street

At twilight your lover comes to your room
He'll spin you
He'll weave you 'round his emerald loom
And softly you'll whisper all around his ear
"Sweet lover, I love Pleasant Street
I wheel, I steal
I feel my way down to kneel"
All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street

You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember which way to go
You don't remember who to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel
You kneel down

Set me free, why don'tcha, babe?
Get out of my life, why don'tcha, babe?
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on
You don't really want me
But you keep me hangin' on

Why do you keep runnin' around
Playin' with my heart?
Why don'tcha get out of my life
And let me get a fresh start?
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me
Go ahead and set me free now set me free
