Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
PUNCHDRUNK LOVESICK SINGALONG (4:40) Song info
I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to firebomb the house
I didn't feel pain, 'cause no one can touch me
Now that I'm held in your spell

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust

Sell me a car that goes
Sell me a house that stands
I never cared before, I never cared before
I never cared before, before, before, before

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust

I stood in front of her face
When the first bullet was shot

Other Versions: live at Melkweg - available on: High and Dry Live Package.

The song at first seems to deal with a war-torn scenario, but then comes the chorus containing the lines, "A beautiful girl / Can turn your world into dust". This moving composition deserves more attention. The band has played it live only a couple of times; luckily one of these occasions was at the Melkweg in Holland at the end of 1994, so the song was included on the High and Dry Live Package. This version is just as beautiful as the original studio recording. Colin claims that the real reason the band playes the song live so rarely is because he never properly learned the bass line.
