Bad Blood Lyrics

I'm losing sleep
So I walk these dirty streets
I hear bad blood
Run through this neighborhood

I don't get it
This bed ain't filled with romance
This life ain't worth living
Scream it in my face, alright

I'm on my knees
Much too late
I don't believe that
Man needs god, thank God

All night long
The city's dreaming
I can't forget you
You're all I got, my love

Oh, in the side street shadows
I gotta hold my head up
There's a stained street stench
That got a stranglehold

Oh, milk and honey
Won't heal my heartache
Gotta take that chance, yeah
While I'm still alive, alright

I'm on my knees
Much too late
I don't believe that
Man needs goddamned God

All night long
The city's dreaming
I can't forget you
It's all I got, my love, oh

I'm on my knees
Much too late
I don't believe that
Man needs god, thank God

And all night long
The city's dreaming
I can't forget you
You're all I got, my love, oh, oh

is that "Man needs goddamned God"? It reminds me of young Iggy Pop

"I heal by blood"

Sounds more like, "I hail bad blood" hence the name of the song...

You guys must not be very familiar with Gaz Coombes' wonderful accent.

It's "I hear bad blood."

I so agree with you Franz... I am very familiar (as the first line of "butterfly" ;P
