Ballad in Urgency / Wiser Time by the Black Crowes

I believe this songs are unique in a way that were created to be performed next to each other, similar to how it appears in the album. You know it's two songs, but how it transitions from one to the next is just amazing. I feel warm every time I hear this. I've owned the Amorica album for years now, even owning 2 copies (my brother had one originally). My appreciation of the Black Crowes grew leaps and bounds after seeing them live in Atlanta last November.

Ballad in Urgency

Here with me
And this price you pay
Just a wishful dream
could be blown away

Ask yourself for better or worse
Because what's the use if it's just good luck

A black cat has crossed my path
Tell me what's good luck about that

Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you wanna be
Fear and love
From down or form up above
Come to me
Come to me
I bet you please
Come set me free

Excuse me please
For my definition
But deeper still are my convictions

Urgently I wait to hear an answer
While I misconduct
a sad lost anthem
An anthem like you have never heard
Have you heard something so absurd

Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you wanna be

You believe me

With my Hate and my greed
We are Swollen and sweet
If you start this misery
Well you're in the place where you wanna be
With my Fear and love
From down or form up above
Come on to me
Come on to me
Well I bet you please
Come set me free

Wiser Time

No time left now for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain
Windswept stars blink and smile
Another song, another mile

You read the line every time
Ask me about crime in my mind
Ask me why another read song
Funny but I bet you never left home

On a good day, I know it ain't every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, well I know it ain't every day
Glory beyond our reach

Seconds until sunrise
Tired but wiser for the time
Lightning 30 miles away
Three thousand more in two days

On a good day, I know it ain't every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, well I know it ain't every day
Glory beyond our reach
