The Side I’ll Never Show (from album Ghost Stories) This is one of Steve’s classics from the late Dream Syndicate days and still a live favourite at gigs. The version that has been loitering around for the past few years is completely off so here is the correct one. For timings and phrasing ideas check out one of the many live versions on YouTube. Verse: Doctor can’t you see that I’m trying? The explanation just hasn’t been found. Doctor no one knows when I’m crying. I slam the door when the feeling comes ’round and Chorus: Every cloud has a silver lining. Every doubt has an answer I know. But in my heart there’s no light shining Just emptiness and faded glow Raining down on the side I’ll never show Doctor it’s the hardest season I sit waiting for the dam to let go. Doctor without the slightest reason I’ve become a man that I don’t want to know and Every cloud has a silver lining Every doubt has an answer I know But in my heart there’s no light shining Just emptiness and faded glow   Raining down on the side I’ll never show Yeah every cloud has a silver lining Every doubt has an answer I know But in my heart there’s no light shining Just emptyness and faded glow   Raining down on the side I’ll never show Doctor I believe that I heard her Calling out from beyond the flood Doctor in my heart there was murder There wasn’t no body and there wasn’t no blood and Every cloud has a silver lining Every doubt has an answer I know But in my heart there’s no light shining That’s a side I’ll never show   That’s a side that I never never never never show
