about

This track was originally written by Blaine Elderton and his band PORTION. This was and still is one of my favorite bands. I was completely besotted with them and I wish they were still making music today. Alas.

I have been playing this song from memory for many years now, so I thought it would be a nice homage to record it for this album.

lyrics

I'd keep the hell away from me
I spread my love like a bad disease
I've got nothing to give
I've got nothing to give
Easily bored easily pleased I'm like a schizophrenic creep
Like some nutter gone berserk I don't know whether to freak or go mental
I know what I'd like to do

I hear you calling
Got to keep this madness together
I hear you breathing
What does it mean?
It's murder

I wear the scars of tambourines
I'm always talking myself to sleep
I have nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
Coz I am kind then again I'm weak and that's the last thing what you need
I could smother you with love just like the very same it's making me ill
Defacto I know someone who will

Give me headaches instead of this
Give me headaches coz it's murder
