Damage

about

The main part of this song came to me from an old piano riff that I always play whenever I sit in front of one. I'm no piano player but, well we all have that one thing we like to tinkle with. Anyway, it developed into a full song after changing the key and then sat there for 9 months. About 10 days ago John had come up with a melody and lyrics that fitted really well he sent it to me and I was inspired with someone guitar parts and all of a sudden here we are with a brand new release. It has turned out to be a real glam rock stomper of a track, we are very happy with it and we hope you will dig it too!

lyrics

Damage


Walking, wounded from a breaking heart
Playing for dead one more time
You’re talking to me but you take it apart
Stealing away from what was mine

It’s not as if the lights were going out
Not as if your world’s about to end
You might work it out
You’re just the kind of lover that could never be a friend

Now the fireworks begin
You say you can never win
But I know you
And the damage that you do

Now let the play time begin
I feel like I’ll never win
Cos I know you
And the damage that you do

Staking it all on a final hand
Selling everything I’ve known
Taking it back from where I stand
Making a better time on my own

It’s not as if the lights were going out
Not as if your world’s about to end
You might work it out
You’re just the kind of lover that could never be a friend

Now the fireworks begin
You say you can never win
But I know you
And the damage that you do

Now let the play time begin
I feel like I’ll never win
Cos I know you
And the damage that you do

Crawling back again to the static on the line
Falling to the end with the words you never find


Now the fireworks begin
You say you can never win
But I know you
And the damage that you do

Now let the play time begin
I feel like I’ll never win
Cos I know you
And the damage that you do
