lyrics
*******************
Another fear is born,
A teardrop starts to form,
My beer has gotten warm in my hand.
I wish someone had warned me
About the storm that's
Sweeping over the land.
I've tried to tell you so many times
I've been so inclined
But never could make you, understand?
Another year is torn from me and you
Still haven't got the slightest clue
What I had planned,
You've got a strange power over me,
You hold it in your hands...
You've got a strange power over me,
I can feel it in my glands...
My skin gets wet, it's a cold, cold sweat,
It's all because of you...
A cold, cold shower once an hour,
You've got the power in your flower,
Can't believe what your petunia can do.
Another fear is born,
A teardrop starts to form,
My beer has gotten warm in my hand.
I wish someone had warned me
About the storm that's
Sweeping over the land.
I've tried to tell you so many times
That I have been so inclined
But never, never could I make you understand.
Another year is torn from me and you
Still haven't got the slightest clue
What I had planned,
You've got a strange power over me,
You hold it in your hands...
You've got a strange power over me,
I can feel it in my glands...
My skin gets wet, it's a cold, cold sweat,
It's all because of you...
A cold, cold shower once an hour,
You've got the power in your flower,
Can't believe what your petunia can do.

If I was in my car anytime from September 2018 for the next eight or nine months, this CD was playing. It never left the CD player. It's that good. tim nelson
If you've never heard The Dirty Three, you need to. If you've heard them once or just a few times and thought "Yeah, they're alright" then you need to hear more. An acquired taste, but habit-forming. tim nelson
