cover #18: our lips are sealed

song: our lips are sealed
cover band: poe
original: the go-gos

comments: poe's version is actually titled "my lips are sealed", seeing as she's one person (mostly).



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
go go's - our lips are sealed
amazon doesn't have poe's odd, disturbing version of our lips are sealed (featured in the movie "gossip"), so you'll have to brave the wild frontier.

lyrics: can you hear them
they talk about us
telling lies
well that's no surprise

can you see them
see right through them
they have no shield
no secrets to reveal

it doesn't matter what they say
in the jealous games people play
my lips are sealed

careless talk
through paper walls
we can't stop them
only laugh at them

spreading rumors
so far from true
dragged up from the underworld
just like some precious pearl

it doesn't matter what they say
in the jealous games people play
my lips are sealed
pay no mind to what they say
it doesn't matter anyway
my lips are sealed

early in the morning
in the middle of the night
two dead boys got up to fight
back to back they faced each other
drew their swords and shot each other
a deaf policeman heard their noise
came and shot those two dead boys
you don't believe this lie is true
go ask the blind man, he saw it too

hush my darling
don't you cry
quiet, angel
forget their lies

there's a weapon
we must use
in our defense
silence
when you look at them
look right through them
that's when they'll disappear
that's when you'll be feared

it doesn't matter what they say
in the jealous games people play
my lips are sealed
pay no mind to what they say
it doesn't matter anyway
my lips are sealed
