lyrics

Not a day goes by that I don't still think about you
And I know you like to hear that, don't you
And you like to come around every now and then
whenever it's convenient, or you're lonely, or you're horny
or you just need somethin' else
to forget someone else

And you played me like the instrument that you will never play
but you somehow managed to break all my strings
And I know you love to keep me hangin' on the line
and I felt beneath you, forgotten, left to die

And maybe it's 'cos you never felt
like you felt for someone else
'cos there's always someone else
there's always someone else
There's always someone else

And I really do hope that you two live happily ever after
but who am I kidding, I was never good at telling jokes
And I'm not sure if I ever really knew you
but I felt you like a needle to my veins, the join and the pain
O, you're driving me insane

'cos maybe you'll never feel, like you feel for someone else
'cos there's always someone else
there's always someone else
there's always someone else...

She calls it "alt-rocka countrybilly, serial killer blues," carving out an atmospheric sound that blends amplified guitars, rawly honest lyrics, and nocturnal arrangements into her own brand of Americana-noire. ... more
