Jonesing For Jones Lyrics

Jonesing for Jones

And of all the feelings
It’s the only choice that my senses make
It's like I could inject you, babe
And of all the faces,
You’re the only human I ever known
But ain't it good to be alone sometimes?

It's warmer than blood and stronger than bone
I scratch and I shake,

I'm Jonesing for Jones
Streams on my pillow when I can sleep at last
I'm Jonesing for Jones, say goodbye to the past

And in the blackest evening,
Just a taste of you and the heavens shine
Light enough to daze the blind
You've got the power to fix me
When I'm sick and twisting from time I've known
But ain't it good to be alone sometimes?

It's warmer than blood and stronger than bone
I scratch and I shake,

I'm Jonesing for Jones
Streams on my pillow when I can sleep at last
I'm Jonesing for Jones, say goodbye to the past
To the past, to the past

I'm feeling warm and satiated, a little dehydrated
That's OK because there's nothing in the way this time

It rains when I'm dry, it speaks when I'm lone
I can't leave it – I’ve tried,

I'm Jonesing for Jones
Streams on my pillow when I can sleep at last
I'm Jonesing for Jones, say goodbye to the past
To the past, to the past
To the past, to the past
To the past, to the past

Cover art for Jonesing For Jones lyrics by Wildhearts, The

Link between drug withdrawal and losing a love. 'Jonesing' is a US term for 'looking for' I think, and 'Jones' refers to both drugs or addiction, and was also the surname of Ginger's girlfriend, whom this song refers to!

'Jonesing' is a craving for drugs, particularly heroin. But yeah, you were right, it's comparing the loss of a partner to coming off drugs. Where did you find out about Ginger's girlfriend being called Jones?

I think I read it in one of the 'Ask Ginger' Q&A sessions that are on the Wildhearts website.
