cover #41: lay lady lay

song: lay lady lay
cover: ministry
original: bob dylan

comments: on the surface, this cover seems deserving of a "shitty cover" tag: screamy sing-talk vocals, weird background noises... and yet, somehow, it works--and definitely removes itself from the original.



first song is cover, second is original.

where can you get it?
bob dylan - lay lady lay
ministry - lay lady lay

lyrics: lay lady lay
lay across my big brass bed
lay lady lay
lay across my big brass bed
whatever colors you have in your mind
i’ll show them to you and you’ll see them shine

lay lady lay
lay across my big brass bed
stay lady stay
stay with your man awhile
until the break of day
let me see you make him smile

his clothes are dirty
but his hands are clean
and you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen
stay lady stay
stay with your man awhile

why wait any longer for the world to begin
you can have your cake and eat it too
why wait any longer for the one you love
when he’s standing in front of you

lay lady lay
lay across my big brass bed
stay lady stay
stay while the night is still ahead

i long to see you in the morning light
i long to reach for you in the night
stay lady stay
stay while the night is still ahead
