About Heavy Cross

“Heavy Cross” is from Gossip’s 2009 album, “Music for Men”, which was a title that Beth Ditto, Gossip’s charismatic front-person, came up with as a feminist joke. After having been to a concert with a girlfriend where they were the only two women in the audience, and seeing all the men totally into the show, the notion of gender-pleasing music stuck with her. A lot of the material for the album was written in the Shangri-La Studios in Malibu, California, where it was also recorded. .

Heavy Cross Lyrics

[00:33.52] It's a cruel, cruel world to face on your own
[00:36.75] A heavy cross to carry along
[00:39.86] The lights are on but everyone's gone
[00:44.07] And it's cruel
[00:47.69] It's a funny way to make ends meet
[00:52.38] When the lights are out on every street
[00:56.02] It feels alright but never complete
[01:00.52] Without joy
[01:03.28] I checked you, if it's already been done
[01:07.88] Undo it
[01:11.40] It takes two, it's up to me and you
[01:16.30] To prove it
[01:19.36] On the rainy nights even the coldest days
[01:24.03] You're moments ago but seconds away
[01:28.16] The principle of nature, it's true but
[01:32.32] It's a cruel world
[01:34.75]
[01:51.05] We can play it safe or play it cool
[01:56.15] Follow the leader or make up all the rules
[02:00.38] Whatever you want, the choice is yours
[02:04.47] So choose
[02:07.46] I checked you if it's already been done
[02:11.87] Undo it
[02:15.46] It takes two and it's up to me and you
[02:19.93] To prove it
[02:22.58]
[02:55.51] I trust you, it's already been done
[03:00.85] Undo it
[03:03.14] It takes two, it's up to me and you
[03:07.88] To prove it
[03:11.04]
[03:26.95] I checked you, if it's already been done
[03:31.79] Undo it
[03:35.42] It takes two and it's up to me and you
[03:41.08] To prove it
[03:43.41]
[03:59.33] I trust you
[04:00.16]
