Artist: PJ Harvey
Song: shot of love
( music of the millennium awards )
I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love.
Don't need a shot of heroin to kill my disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine, to bring me to my knees
Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent
Don't need a shot of whiskey, help me to be president
I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love
Doctor, can you hear me? I need some medicaid
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's making me feel afraid
What I got ain't painful, it's just bound to kill me dead
Like the men that followed jesus, they put a price upon his head
I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard em too
Don't show me no picture show or give me no book to read
It don't satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feeds
I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love
Why would I want to take your life?
You've only murdered my father, raped his wife
Tattooed my babies with a poison pen
Mocked my god, humiliated my friends
I don't wanna be with nobody tonight, veronica ain't nowhere, mavis just ain't right
There's a man that hates me, he's swift, smooth and near
Am I supposed to set back and wait until he's here?
I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love
