Lyrics
Do you know "People Ain't No Good"? (Yeah) People just ain't no good I think that's welll understood You can see it everywhere you look People just ain't no good We were married under cherry trees Under blossom we made pour vows All the blossoms come sailing down Through the streets and through the playgrounds The sun would stream on the sheets Awoken by the morning bird We'd buy the Sunday newspapers Never read a single word People, they ain't no good People, they ain't no good People, they ain't no good at all The seasons came, the seasons went The winter stripped the blossom bare A different tree now lines the streets Shaking its fists in the air The winter slammed us like a fist The windows rattling in the gales To which she drew the curtains down Made out of her wedding veils People, they ain't no good People, they ain't no good People, they ain't no good at all To our love send a dozen white lilies To our love send a coffin of wood To our love let the pink-eyed pigeons coo Hell, that people they just ain't no good To our love send back all the letters To our love, a valentine of blood To our love let all the jilted lovers cry People just ain't no good It ain't that in their hearts they're bad They can comfort you, some even try They nurse you when you're ill of health And they bury you when you go and die It ain't that in their hearts they're bad They'd stick by you if they could Oh, but that's just bullshit, baby People just ain't no good At all
