Werewolf (Michael Hurley cover) Lyrics
Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes stepping along
He don't even break the branches where he's been gone
Once I saw him in the moonlight, when the bats were a-flying
All alone I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying
Crying, "Nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows
How I love the man, as I teared off his clothes"
Crying, Nobody know, nobody know my pain
When I see it has risen; that full moon again"
For the werewolf, for the werewolf have sympathy
For the werewolf somebody like you or me
Old Ygor tell me, man this little flute I play
all through the night until the light of day
For the werewolf, for the werewolf, have sympathy
For the werewolf somebody like you or me
Comes stepping along
He don't even break the branches where he's been gone
All alone I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying
How I love the man, as I teared off his clothes"
Crying, Nobody know, nobody know my pain
When I see it has risen; that full moon again"
For the werewolf somebody like you or me
all through the night until the light of day
For the werewolf somebody like you or me

the most beatuiful voice EVER. ever. ever.
that's funny my (gf) who gave me this song noted that it was probably the scariest song she'd ever heard- maybe it's just the violins w/ her voice... buuuut prolly won't make love to it then
if you havent already.. watch Power Blue.. Jessica Biels scene with this song says it all.

i believe its a sexy, meloncholy song. truly amazing.

I always thought this song was Cat Power's originally but when i saw it wasn't i listened to the original by Michael Hurley and I thought it was horrible compared to Cat Power's, she has such emotion in her voice and his is so flat, its so hard to believe that this isn't Cat Power's song, she owns it
couldnt agree with you more. i also love her cover- "Sea of Love" just perfect.

Which Michael Hurley version did you listen to? He has three different versions on three different albums. The one on Armchair Boogie is different from Cat Power's but is still a great recording, and the one on Blue Navigator is much more similar to CP's. But I can see why the one on First Songs would be unappealing. You should at least give the Armchair Boogie version a chance if you haven't. Michael Hurley is a great artist

i just had the pleasure of discovering this song in 'Powder Blue'.. its never too late to find treasure.. <3
btw. im sure everyone who has seen that movie will agree that if it werent for Cat Powers voice and this songs lyrics.. that hot, meloncholy scene Jessica Biel performed in wouldntve been as amazing.
this is such! a good song.
Is it possible to sing this song better than she does? I really doubt it... Such a good message, such a good song.
This is my favourite, you guys are so right, it's really her song, I haven't heard the original but I can't imagine it being better than this one
About... devouring the one you love, there is no other choice because that's the specie you are. There is no other way out, and that's why it cries to the moon, yearning for what it is and doing the things it does even taking it to the limit of destroying the love of your life. Making love to this song is certainly the best, I recommend it.
I really like this song. I think that she isn't necessarily describing an actual werewolf, but just any person who is misunderstood and is only seen for their poor qualities. She then goes and says that one should have sympathy for 'monsters' since underneath, they really are just lonely people too.
it's "for the werewolf HAVE sympathy" i think
