The Gilded Palace of Sin
The Gilded Palace of Sin is the first album by the country rock group The Flying Burrito Brothers, released in 1969. It continued Gram Parsons' and Chris Hillman's work in modern country music, fusing traditional sources like folk and country with other forms of popular music like gospel, soul, and rock & roll.
The Gilded Palace of Sin is listed at number 192 in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Background
After spearheading the Byrds foray into country music with the influential Sweetheart of the Rodeo album, Gram Parsons fell out with the band when he refused to accompany them on a tour of South Africa in 1968. Two months later bassist Chris Hillman left the Byrds as well and joined Parsons to form The Flying Burrito Brothers, arguably the first "country-rock" band. As stated in the documentary Beyond Nashville, "Gram Parsons was passionate about country music's simple poetry. He was equally passionate about rock music. At a time when they were poles apart, he alone thought they belonged together."

Of Sin
by: SinnerTwisted the daydream - a memory with pain
I'm looking through a hole in my wall
I want to dive with both of you in the middle of this night
trapped in the reflections, you're in sight
I was paralyzed at first, before you realized
I'm walking through these red lights blue met your fascinating eyes
where's the one who's to blame... In the streets of sin
The first time when I saw you I couldn't speak a word
all the meaniest things surrounded me to love somebody secretly
can hurt so many times it's heaven's jungle - I'm inside
I was paralyzed at first, before you realized torn away your jealousy
if you'll live your dark desire where's no one who's to blame...
In the streets of sin the streets of sin the streets of sin
It's game - you just can't win in the streets of sin
Twisted little daydream - a memory with pain
I'm looking through a hole in my wall
I want to dive with both of you in the middle of this night
trapped in reflections, you're in sight
I was paralyzed at first, before you realized torn away all jealousy
if you'll live your dark desire where's no one who's to blame...
In the streets of sin the streets of sin the streets of sin
It's game - you just can't win in the streets of sin
A pocket full of money - a long night to do a felt so unsure inside
is this the price, well I'm paying for or a paradise of lies
in the streets of sin the streets of sin the streets of sin
it's game - you just can't win the streets of sin
the streets of sin the streets of sin it's game - you just can't win
