Needle Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wish that I didn't hate you, least not as much as I do And squander all my contempt for a little nothing like you Liars like you are ten-a-penny Women would slap you, if you knew any Sometimes I feel just like committing a crime [Verse 2] I've got this suitcase of phony wisdom to dispense These twenty-seven or so years, ah you'd think I'd made them some cents Now they want me fingerprinted like I was smuggling drugs While the government does deals with the most convenient thugs Sometimes I feel just like committing a crime [Chorus] It's needle time It's needle time It's needle time It's needle time [Verse 3] I'm trying not to despise you with a passion that's hard to extinguish Or maybe I really love you, although it's hard to distinguish I wish I could be more like a saint is forgiving those who trespass against us Sometimes I feel just like committing a crime I started talking nonsense, just like I did to begin with Around the time I tired of those sour English Sometimes I feel just like committing a crime [Chorus] It's needle time It's needle time It's needle time It's needle time
