Your Girl Lana

Pawn Shop Blues

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright letting nice things go

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Gold and metal flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them, oh

And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no
But I gotta get to and from where i come
And it's gonna take money to go
Oh, no...

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
I said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

I can't do this once more
No man can keep me together
Been broken since i was born

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright letting nice things go

Man I really like this song. When was this recorded? I've done searches on this board and I can't find the information? Was this from lizzie grant aka or BtD sessions? Awesome song.

 

I love it.

that would mean it's 10 years old. So 2002?

May not have been recorded then but that means it's pretty old. It's strange to think my sister was born that year and Lana was also writing music.

 

I like the song, it's sweet but I'm sorry to say it's probably my least favourite on LDRakaLG. Only because I love the others more.

I love this song so much. Has some emotions Lana doesn't really show much in most of her songs. Sounds tender, honest like really from the heart. Look how cheesy my description is...hahaha...but is what I feel when I hear it

Where can I get a copy? Are there legit copies out there? I know it was never released as a physical cd, but I assume that electronic iTunes copies can be traded, bought and sold.

 

As someone who has his own copyrighted material and would like to get royalties some day I'm not a huge fan of not giving artists/authors/etc their fair due.

You can take to the request thread under the audio section and ask for someone to PM you the whole lot, or have a search around google for a download. It's not uncommon, so there's no real exchanging going on.

What's most amazing about this song is the lyrics. In my opinion definently one of her best songs, lyrically


*Insert awesome and creative photo of Lana with added photoshops effects here*

Well, i didn't know it would come to this

But that's what happens when you're on your own

And you're alright letting nice things go.

 

Well, i pawned the earrings that you gave me

Gold and made of flowers dangling

And i almost cried as i sold them all

And i don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no

But i gotta get to and from where i come

And it's gonna take money to go

Oh no, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

But it's better to know all you can know

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...

No man can keep me together

Why were there zero replies before me?  :crying: :oprah: :omg: :lange: :heidi:

 

I demand some appreciation for these lyrics ASAP! (...Rocky)  :tyvm:
