Should I speak? Should I bother shaking hands? Am I weak If I leave it as it stands? I've submerged And I've surfaced with the blame I guess I'm no good I guess I'm insane Should I go If she calls out my name? And if she bleeds Should I wipe up the stain? And if I'm low Can I drown in this rain? I guess I'm no good I guess I'm insane And I hate when you say That I never fight for you Sometimes you breathe All over my scar And you always end up Closer than close That's where I give in Should I confess The actions of a hand In my mind I'll betray you once again Why should I climb? What is there to gain? This is no good This is insane And I hate when you say That I never fight for you Sometimes you breathe All over my scar And you always end up Closer than close That's whenre I give in You're taking You're taking You're taking me down You're taking You're taking You're taking me down And you always end up Closer than close That's where I give in That's where I give in That's where I give in
This is one of my favourite damien rice songs but this video almost seems fitting to be played at his funeral or something. Such a powerful song and video
When I hear Damien singing. . .I feel myself able to let go and be taken away. Away to the place that only artists know about. . .I would love to find someway out of the USA. So lucky are my European Cousins. . .to come from a land with such talent....Thank you. Beautiful . . .is the only word to describe this artist. . .d~
I think maybe one of the reasons he hasn't put this on an album is because it is very much a song of the moment, and every time it is played it has a different feel to it. Perhaps he doesn't want to pick one to be the absolute, right version, but instead have plenty of different amazing versions.
@5500dannyk I agree this is a great piece. . Real, true and raw talent always comes from those with a tortured soul... As great are the highs. . .So comforting. . .are the lows..... I couldn't imagine life. . .any other way.......nor would I want to...........d~
@bennettunknown This song was written few years ago, with Juniper, and maybe (i'm not sure) on a Juniper album. Maybe that's the reason. Woman like a man is on the album O, as a Bonus track
What a powerful song. I especially love the lyrics: Should I go, if she calls out my name? And if she bleeds, should I wipe up the stain? And if I'm low, can I drown in this rain? I guess I'm no good, I guess I'm insane I know this feeling all too well.
@bennettunknown I'm not sure about insane but woman like a man is on an album called B-sides along with some demos and other songs XD You can buy it on amazon! Look it up! It's another great one to own <3 xx
I agree, it is one of his best songs, and it's sad that it's not on one of his cds. Woman like a man is also one I like and wish they would put it on a cd.
