Needle And Spoon
Savoy Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I need a little something to keep my cool
I sleep with the sun and I rise with the moon
And I feel alright with my needle and spoon
I feel alright with my needle and spoon
It's difficult sometimes to get my stuff
So if I'm evil don't get in a huff
And I feel alright with my needle and spoon
I feel alright with my needle and spoon
Don't need no women don't need no wine
'Cause life is sweet when you hit the main line
I sleep with the sun and I rise with the moon
And I feel alright with my needle and spoon
I feel alright with my needle and spoon
Only one thing that worries my mind
The stuff it kills you and it treats you unkind
If you're married you can divorce your wife
But when you're married to â??Hâ?? then you're married for life
You're married to â??Hâ?? and you're married for life

Blue Matter was my first British blues band record I ever bought. Still love it today! (I'm 76 yrs old)👍👍👍👍👍

One of the best British Blues albums among many great British blues. Chris Youldon had such a perfect voice for interacting with Lonesome Dave and crew.

"if you're married you can divorce your wife, but when you're married to H then you're married for life" - my Dad always said that quote because he loved this song (and he wasn't an addict) and I sadly now know how true that statement is. I'm clean now but that shit will haunt me for the rest of my life. Still love this song though!
@halfnhalfwithsage3416
