PJ Harvey - Shot of Love lyrics

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
