Sweet Misery Blues Lyrics

Cover art for Sweet Misery Blues lyrics by Violent Femmes

Yeah subject is ugly but I don't think, and I don't think that's what you meant neither, that the lyrics are so valuable at the first level. Obviously multi leveled with lines like ''If you're living in the past''. Maybe I'm wrong but sometimes I feel that this creepy rapist guy is those sweet misery blues mixed with this still sexually frustrated teenage misfit you mentionned feeling again a urge for a girl and just all the ugliness he has inside him. Just like Never Tell again wakes up inside us those shut feelings we never tell and could not only understood as a bully thing. Just cool how all these songs can be juxtaposed to ourselves and our own torments.
