[Intro / Chorus]
I did it for my baby
I did it for that bottle
And I do it for my one-armed man who
Likes to please my dirty soul
Can I see you baby, can I see you doll
Can I kiss you maybe before I’m up against the wall
I’ve been playing drinking games but the players have all gone
Take me for a ride I’m whiskey strong
Can I be the morning‚ can I be the night
Can I be the afternoon‚ when I make you feel all right
I’m gonna be that night crawler that crawls into your bed
Baby let’s bang heads
I did it for my baby
I did it for that bottle
And I do it for my one-armed man who
Likes to please my dirty soul
Now the honeymoon’s over‚ it’s time to go with my friends
Now that it’s all over, grab that bottle and commence
I’m gonna be a sittin here drinking the night through
Baby I ain’t coming home to you
See a pretty lady, dancing by herself
Walk over to her and say “would you like to raise some hell”
She looked at me as I swept her off her feet
Baby let’s do round three
I did it for my baby
I did it for that bottle
And I do it for my one-armed man who
Likes to please my dirty soul
Likes to please my dirty soul
Likes to please my dirty soul
This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO.
The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me. Rabbit
This New Haven duo write bright and emotionally resonant folk music where sweeping strings elevate gorgeous melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 23, 2021
i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
