Cover Of: The Chauffeur by Duran Duran
Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me, so newly charming
Sweating dew drops glisten, freshing your side
[CHORUS]
The sun slips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing Blue Silver
Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
[CHORUS]
And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes with a word to stiffen brooding lies
But I'll only watch you leave me further behind
[CHORUS]

FANTASTIC cover of a great song. this, like their "to have and to hold" cover, packs more into the song than the original even dreamt of.

The Deftones are not only one of the best original bands, but they are a great cover band too. Every cover song they do sounds amazing.
