Something For The Pain - Live In Melbourne/1995
Happiness, been no friend to me
But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy
But I almost lost my faith when I hit reality
I don't need no guru to tell me what to do
When your feeling like a headlines on yesterday's news
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain
When I feel I'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose
Oh, give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
Loneliness found a home in me
Oh, my suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone, like they needed me
But I opened up my heart, all I did was bleed
I don't need no lover, just to get screwed
They don't make no bandage, that's going to cover my bruise
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain
When I feel I'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
Pull me under through my veins
(Help I'm falling)
First to a place where I feel no pain
Be the pillow under my head
(Night is calling)
Cover me when I'm in your bed
(Feels like I'm flying)
Higher than I've ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me, be my disguise
(Christ, I'm dying)
Open your coat, let me crawl inside
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when
When I feel I'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose
Oh, give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Give me, give me something for the pain
Give me, give me something I can use
Just like you
Just like you
