Antidote next song/previous song Well I was going to the doctor To tell the good news That a babe came along And blew away my birthday blues Was going to the doctor To give out the bad news That she'd run away to hide And wasn't giving any clues And it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so bad But I know what I need I don't need no antidote No downer duration No damage limitation No prescription for frustration As far as I can go I'll be pushing out the boat But even overboard I don't need no antidote Well I went to my friend He said "how come you're so tense You're usually indifferent With lots of common sense" I said "I can't eat, I can't sleep I can't hide From these tortured hormones inside" And it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so bad But I know what I need I don't need no antidote No strung out innocence No smokescreen indifference No hard headed common sense As far as I can go I'll be pushing out the boat But even overboard I don't need no antidote Well she came to the party And you know she should be mine Well she came to the party And you know she should be mine And you know what I need And you know what I need Well I went to a preacher And said I got the faith I got the hat, the T shirt But no date I'm feeling more dead than I am alive Can you do a resurrection Cos I'm dying to jive And it hurts, and it hurts, and it hurts so bad But I know what I need I don't need no antidote No act of contrition No way to submission No lack of inhibition As far as I can go I'll be pushing out the boat But even overboard I don't need no antidote ©1994 Dave Ellis song index
