Bad Bone Lyrics
there's a bad bone inside of me
all my troubles started there
and all the cracks are adding up to be
a little more than you can bare
when i met you, you were bitter still
from a scar you're never gonna show
and i was cursed with a jealousy
that's killed every love i've ever known
and when the anger that you feel
turns to poison in your soul
and then the scars you only feel
will start to show
yoe were naked on the balcony
and i was waiting in your bed
you said i pleased you only partially
but i knew my hunger would be fed
all my thoughts of going clear
and getting out before my time
have died with you upon the vine
have died with you upon the vine
to die with you upon the vine
to die with you upon the vine
to die
so if you'll lead the way
there's a bad bone inside of me
all my troubles started there
and all the cracks are adding up to be
a little more than you can bare
from a scar you're never gonna show
and i was cursed with a jealousy
that's killed every love i've ever known
turns to poison in your soul
and then the scars you only feel
will start to show
and i was waiting in your bed
you said i pleased you only partially
but i knew my hunger would be fed
and getting out before my time
have died with you upon the vine
have died with you upon the vine
to die with you upon the vine
to die with you upon the vine
to die

I love this song. Especially to sing along with. They should get Lisa Hannigan back in (like with Lay Me Down) to record this with Glen. Harmony really compliments it.
Great lyrics, too. Good insight, Niteflite01.
"To die with you upon the vine..."
Just beautiful.
A pretty straight forward song about being useless at relationships. It's about being in love with someone but, in a typically Irish way, being hopeless at the whole thing.
