Poison! (12" Version)

Original on 1988 album 'The Black Album According To' We were young, Ronald Reagan was president of the USA, Maggie was busy making a mess of the UK and sketching up the base for wild free enterprise and brutal capitalism, golden boys were fast… but wow!, wasn’t Bo Derek hot or what ?! The music scene was generally a bore: it was all about expensive studios, vain music, coked-out producers and cliché artists. Just think about it: Flashdance. Yeah, you get the draft: there’s no need for more gore details about how laborious the ’80s mainstream really was. www.theweathermen.net

I've seen trouble, felt the shame Been forgiven and fallen again I've been weathered by the poison rain But I've gotten used to this pain Can I wash in the water, drink from this well And never thirst again Can I sail on the ocean And cast all these doubts and fears away Far far away, far far away I'm driving on empty, the night's closing in And nothing can find me but You I've been a sinner, I've hidden my face And no one can find me but You Here I am, here I am Take me back Is there ever a chance at all For someone to stand when we're born to fall Well, I come ready to be redeemed I'm down on my knees I'm down on my knees ©2003 Made Music (admin. by Brentwood-Benson Music Publishing)
