Ryan Adams & Alanis Morissette - 1974 (2001 unreleased rare live track)

Ryan would go on to record a song called 1974 for his Rock n Roll album, but this track is nothing to do with that. This is an audience recording of a song from a concert on the 20th February 2001 at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. This comes from the 4th release in the Bedhead collection, Live Is Hell (also known as Bedhead Volume 2, Disc 1 if the 1st 3 releases are taken as Volume 1). Lyrics: Ryan : I was born in 1974 On a calm meticulous street Someplace in the sun Oh the air was sweet And enough lights sprang sparks Through the window of the room Not as raw to a ridiculous tune Slightly out of key in the mother hour Ryan & Alanis : So leave me alone So leave me alone So leave me alone I'm busy breaking bones Alanis : I was born in 1974 In a breached feet-first way My twin opened the door My very first dose of chivalry I was dawned princess potential potent With gold star and matching impression Big between two doors Small and loved and proud and unthreatened Ryan & Alanis : So leave me alone So leave me alone So leave me alone I'm busy breaking bones Ryan : I bet you were strong When you should have been weak Like a dam that wanted to break I wish I were the stones Your river learned to roam In whispering gaze Alanis : You were told in a kind North Carolinian way To slow down, back up, or be hated Thank god you did not And thank god you did An angel either way Ryan & Alanis : So leave us alone So leave us alone So leave us alone We're busy being grown
