I know you’re cold but I’ve seen it before
I’ll take a chance on the wine
Your starched white lips, intravenous she drips
In fear of turning blind
Hair to grey and some guys say
Shows you’re, shows you’re growing old
Do it again, I can’t explain
The light sure seems cold
Feel the pain
It leaves no stain
Feel the pain
The name of the game
Drop some blues, time to choose
Why your heart is just a-stabbing
Bloody eyes can’t describe
The nature of your hacking
Back-to-front, the blade tastes blunt
In the safety of your bedroom
No desire to touch the fire
It’s just a, just a sad obsession
Feel the pain
It leaves no stain, leaves no stain
Feel the pain
The name of the game
Feel the pain
It leaves no stain (no stain_
Feel the pain
The name of the game
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
Pain

Chilling.
Yes! Thank you for noticing!
You’re welcome! All I could think of as I listened is that I would NOT want to live in that headspace.
A tortured soul he was, and a great naïve artist.
It’s a shame that the punk explosion was accompanied by a wholesale change in the music newspapers’ staff in England—the “old guard” of rock’n’roll writers had to be replaced with mostly young, ignorant * fanatics who simply praised the raw energy and cartoon politics of the scene. As a result, few recognized the class difference between the Damned and others from the same period—IMHO, they just had no peers. What saved them from oblivion was that they managed to release “the first punk album ever”…
* I was much younger than them back in the day …just not ignorant.😇
Thank you for the contextual information!
You’re welcome!
Very good. Heavy shades of Lou Reed.
Yes, especially in the verse. Thank you!
