This is one is those “Nothing compares to you?” songs. A guy who goes through life searching for the next real love. He will have breakfast with thieves and with villains, and convince them with a wink of an eye.
I grew up with indians in Texas
Bob T and CBATFOW - Mr. Rodriguez
Learnt religon from a muslim jew
Stood up when everyone knelt down to pray
But nothing compares to you
I get really worried about my state of mind, when writing about my lyrics. There’s a lot of those “in love but she’s gone” type of stories. Or maybe it’s missed chances in life. But i’m still trying to make the world a better place.
She called me Mister Rodriguez
But i never made it to Spain
And i was impressed with her beauty
In the light of a subway train
I grew up with indians in texas
Learnt religon from a muslim jew
Stood up when everyone knelt down to pray
But nothing compares to you
Let me go back to the corner
Let me step out of the light
I’ve been dead a thousand times or more
But i’m looking for a new leash of life
I wish i was the King of the Mountains
So close to Gods in the sky
I’d breakfast with thieves and with bishops
And i would forgive with the blink of an eye
but i won’t forget you my darling
theres a bond that’s stronger than glue
you may be in an another dimension
But nothing compares to you
Mother don’t call me disabled
Give me time to figure in out
I’m seeing demons and devils
But it’s hard to wisper when everyone shouts
i met a sailor from somewhere in poland
he made bikes out of lead and bamboo
i’ve seen the rightuous drunk in the tavern
But nothing can compare to you
The end of the world is a friend of mine
But i ain’t gonna share it with you
Remember my fingertips on your skin
And i lied to you about the truth
And i looked at death and the devil
and i don’t think i’ll ever go back
i’m tired of living living without you
Because nothing compares to you
i’m keeping my distance from dying
said a man in a dugout canoe
the river is wide and the river is long
But nothing can compare to you

Listen to the so called Space Part of ‚Mr. Rodriguez‘, this was the first demo. WWhy didn´t we ask Tommy Schneller´s brass section to do this riff, when they were recording the other brass parts of the song? #studiofail
