Howl Lyrics

Howl into the night
To the still of the dark
Shout into the silence
And etch out your bark
How angry you are
You won't take it anymore
And watch as the people run to your door

They hurt your heart
They hurt it well
And came to your assistance
In a humanitarian swell

Werewolf howl
Werewolf howl
Roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl
Werewolf howl

(Roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)
Howl
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)
(Werewolf)

They came from the sky
They came from the fields
They rode in unsinking boats
Rented their gloves and coats

They hurt your heart
They hurt it well
And came to your assistance
In a humanitarian swell

Werewolf howl
Werewolf howl
Roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl
Werewolf howl

(Roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)
Howl
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek)
Howl
(Yip, yowl)

(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf roar, scream, shriek, yip, yowl)
(Werewolf)
(Werewolf)

I thought it was:

I thought its was:

They heard your howl They heard it well

Also:

Run,scream,shriek,yell,yowl

Maybe you're right, I don't know. It's hard to tell.

I tried emailing her quite a while back to get clarification on the lyrics to this song, but to no avail.

Whatever. It's a great song regardless and I guess she doesn't feel the need to give her fans accurate lyrics.

Natasha, if you ever read this - ANSWER YOUR EMAILS!!!

Sorry, but I'm the type of person that wants to know what it is that he's listening to. Love the new album BTW.

Of course, but it was from that time when she wasn't really publicly giving out lyrics and also this is a B-side, so yeah it isn't going to be a priority.

EnjoyTheMelon, you got her email? There was an image of a demo cd with an email adress on it, that I've supposed was probably hers. But I've never thought about emailing it...that would be a bit creepy to me...

Hello

I wrote these lyrics several years ago, when I was a hateful person, and so because of this I believe I did not hear them properly. Unfortunately the email address I used to sign up for the "EnjoyTheMelon" account is gone, and so I cannot change these words. I believe the others who have commented have heard correctly, and so I will post what I believe are the corrected lyrics below.
