Letra de Jacob and 2 Women
Jacob, he loved Rachel and Rachel, she loved him And Leah was just there for dramatic effect Well, it's right there in the Bible, so it must not be a sin But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trickAnd her sky is just a petal pressed in the book of a memory Of the time he thought he loved her and they kissed And her friends say, "Ah, he's a devil" But she says, "No, he is a dream" This is the world as best as I can remember itNow Jacob got two women and a whole house full of kids And he schemed his way back to the promised land And he finds it's one thing to win 'em And it's another to keep 'em content When he knows that he is only just one manAnd his sky's an empty bottle and when he's drunk the ocean dry Well, he sails off three sheets to some reckless wind And his friends say, "Ain't it awful?" And he says, "No, I think it's fine" And this is the world as best as I can remember itNow Rachel's weeping for the children That she thought she could not bear And she bears a sorrow that she cannot hideAnd she wishes she was with them But she looks and they're not there Seems that love comes for just a moment And then it passes on byAnd her sky is just a bandit Swingin' at the end of a hangman's noose 'Cause he stole the moon and must be made to pay for itAnd her friends say, "My, that's tragic!" And she says, "Especially for the moon" And this is the world as best as I can remember it And this is the world as best as I can remember it
