OF THESE HIMALAYAN BLUES…

WELL IT SURE TURNED OUT LIKE SOME KIND OF SUMMER
WHAT WITH THE HEAT AND THE WIND AND THE RAIN
WE WERE LIVING IN THE DEEP SOUTH
A PASSION BURNING IN OUR VEINS
ONE NIGHT BABY SAYS SHE FEELS THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG HERE
SHE FEEL A TERROR LIKE HER HEART BEATING
DEEP INSIDE
AND THEN BABY SAID SHE WOULD
BABY SAYS SHE MIGHT
JUST TAKE A LITTLE DRIVE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
I WANNA KNOW
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
WHERE GOES MY BABY? MY BABY TONIGHT?
WHEN IT TURNED INTO THE COOL OF NOVEMBER
I KIND OF KNEW I’D NEVER SEE HER AGAIN
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT
WHEN YOU TURN OUT THE LIGHT
I SWEAR I HEARD HER
CALLING OUT MY NAME
TODAY I HEARD THEY'D FOUND HER CHEVY
BURIED HALFWAY DOWN IN THAT TAHOE MUD
IT WAS EMPTY INSIDE
LIKE MY BABY’S EYES
SHE TOOK TO DISAPPEAR OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
I WANNA KNOW
I WANNA KNOW
WHERE BABY DON’T GO
WHERE GOES MY BABY? MY BABY TONIGHT?
AND I’VE BEEN DRIVING THROUGH THESE STREETS IN THE MOONLIGHT
TRYING TO FIND A REASON WHY
IT'LL TAKE A FOOL LIKE ME
NOT TO REALISE, REALISE…
I NEED MY BABY TONIGHT…

OH ANGEL, MY SWEET ANGEL
I SEE SHADOWS CROSS THE SKY
AND MIDNIGHT EYES
ARE LOOKING AT THE WORLD TONIGHT
OH ANGEL, MY SWEET ANGEL
WHEN THE TRUTH COMES DOWN
IT’S GOING TO RAIN LIKE CRAZY
ON THE CHILDREN
AS THEY SLEEP TONIGHT
AND WHO’LL BE THERE TO CATCH THEIR DREAMS AS THEY FALL
WHO’LL BE THERE FOR THE CHILDREN
WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL?
WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL?
OH ANGEL, I’VE HEARD SO MANY LIES
BUT WITH WARS TO THE EAST
CORRUPTION TO THE WEST
HOW THE HELL WE EVER GONNA SURVIVE?
OH ANGEL, MY SWEET ANGEL
WHEN THEY LIGHT THOSE FIRES
THEY’RE GOING TO BURN LIKE FOREVER
BUT WE’RE NEVER GOING TO SEE THE LIGHT
AND WHO’LL BE THERE TO CATCH OUR DREAMS AS THEY FALL
WHO’LL BE THERE FOR THE CHILDREN
WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL?
COS TIME IS SLIPPING THROUGH OUR FINGERS
LIKE A STORM IN THE DESERT SAND
WHO CAN PLACE OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE
IN THE PALM OF SOME FOOLS HAND?
IF ONLY I COULD GET SOME ANSWERS
I WOULD LET THEM ALL IN ON THE PLAN
SO WHEN THEIR NIGHTMARES CALL
THEY CAN UNDERSTAND…
SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND…

TAKE A RIDE ON DOWN THE OUTSIDE
TAKE A RIDE ON IN BETWEEN
TAKE A PEEK THROUGH VELVET WINDOWS
YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SEEN
GOD AND BABY JESUS
PLAYING CARDS WITH GABRIEL
CHEATING HEARTS WON’T STAND BETWEEN US
WITH ANOTHER SOUL TO SELL
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
I’M GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL
I SHOULD’VE KNOWN MUCH BETTER
I SHOULD’VE SEEN THE SIGNS
A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN
LEAVE THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW LINES
IF LOVE WILL FIND AN ANSWER
IF LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
IT’S COS THE DEVIL TAKES NO CHANCES
COS THE DEVIL HE’S BEEN PAID
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
I’M GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL
I SAID “OH MY GOD JEMIMA
OH MY SWEET JANINE
WHAT COULD YOU GIRLS BE THINKING
FOOLING ROUND WITH BILLIE JEAN?”
MY WIFE, HER SISTER AND THEIR BEST FRIEND
WERE NOWHERE TO BE SEEN
‘TIL I PEEKED THROUGH VELVET WINDOWS
THROUGH A CURTAIN TO A DREAM
AND IF I SAY I TOOK A RIDE
THEY INVITED ME INSIDE…
AH-AH-AH WELL
I’M GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL
TAKE A RIDE ON DOWN THE OUTSIDE
TAKE A RIDE ON IN BETWEEN
TAKE A PEEK THROUGH VELVET WINDOWS
YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SEEN
IF LOVE WILL FIND AN ANSWER
IF LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
IT’S COS THE DEVIL TAKES NO CHANCES
COS THE DEVIL HE’S BEEN PAID
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
YEH! I GOING DOWN…
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
IF THERE’S A STORY HERE TO TELL
I TOOK A RIDE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HELL
AH-AH-AH WELL
I’M GOING DOWN TO HELL

I’M SITTING IN A BAR
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
AND I’M WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE
YOU DON’T EVER COME AROUND
A SONG PUNCHED ON THE JUKEBOX
JUST REMINDED ME OF YOU
AND I WAS WONDERING BABY,
DO YOU EVER THINK OF ME TOO
AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S BEEN KISSING YOU
AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S BEEN HOLDING YOU
AND I’M WONDERING
WHY THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO BLUE
LORD AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S LOVING YOU TONIGHT?
WELL I’VE BEEN DOWN ON MY LUCK
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
BUT YOU KNOW I DON’T GIVE A DAMN
I AIN’T NEVER GOING BACK
MY HEAD’S FULL OF BOURBON
AND I JUST DRANK ANOTHER BEER
IT’S NOT THAT I STILL LOVE YOU
I JUST WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE…
AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S BEEN KISSING YOU
AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S BEEN HOLDING YOU
AND I’M WONDERING
WHY THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO BLUE
LORD AND I’M WONDERING
WHO’S LOVING YOU TONIGHT?

I TRY TO FORGET YOU
AND THAT’S NOT SUCH AN EASY THING TO DO
I TRY TO FORGET YOU, DARLING
AND THAT’S NOT SUCH AN EASY THING
FOR THIS POOR BOY TO DO
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING
BUT I KNOW WHERE I’M COMING FROM

BABY SINCE YOU BEEN GONE, GONE, GONE…
THAT CLOCK KEEPS ON TICKING
IT JUST GOES ON TICKIN, A’TICKIN, A’TICKIN, A’TICKIN

THESE DAYS I’VE BEEN MISSING
WELL I’VE BEEN A’SPINNING AROUND AND
A'DRINKING, AND DRINKING, AND DRINKING
TO MAKE IT ALL STOP
I’M TRYING TO FORGET YOU
ALL THE GODDAM TIME
BUT I ALWAYS FORGET TO REMEMBER THE PAIN
WHEN YOU WERE STILL MINE ALL MINE…
YOU TOOK MY HEART DARLING
YOU TOOK MY HEART AND YOU THREW IT AWAY
I REMEMBER THE TIME
THAT YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME
DARLING,
EVERY GODDAM DAY…
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING
BUT I KNOW WHERE I’M COMING FROM
WELL I BEEN A’ROLLIN’ AND TUMBLIN’ DOWN

IF THIS IS THE LAST TIME I’LL SEE YOU
YOU’D BETTER LEAVE
SO MANY THINGS IN THIS OLD WORLD
LEFT TO SEE
I KNOW YOUR PLANS
WELL THEY NO LONGER INCLUDE ME
SPREAD YOUR WINGS, LITTLE ANGEL,
FLY AWAY FROM ME…
AND SAY GOODBYE
SAY GOODBYE TO ME
THESE AREN’T TEARS IN MY EYES
I AIN’T LONELY TONIGHT
JUST SAY GOODBYE
TO ME
THERE’S A MOON OVER INDIGO
A WAVE ON THE DEEP BLUE SEA
A DIAMOND SNAKE WRAPPED AROUND MY SOUL
DEEP INSIDE OF ME
YOU HAVE YOUR DREAMS
I HAVE MY OWN PAIN TO RELIEVE
SPREAD YOUR WINGS, LITTLE ANGEL,
FLY AWAY FROM ME…
AND SAY GOODBYE
SAY GOODBYE TO ME
THESE AREN’T TEARS IN MY EYES
I AIN’T LONELY TONIGHT
JUST SAY GOODBYE
TO ME
PAINT YOUR DREAMS CRIMSON
COLOUR ALL YOUR MEMORIES
SOMEDAY BABY
CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND THINK OF ME
WITH THE MOON OVER INDIGO
THIS IS THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE
SPREAD YOUR WINGS, LITTLE ANGEL,
FLY AWAY FROM ME…
AND SAY GOODBYE
SAY GOODBYE TO ME
THESE AREN’T TEARS IN MY EYES
I AIN’T LONELY TONIGHT
JUST SAY GOODBYE
TO ME

I've purchased a fair few HDC albums now (and listened to the rest). Difficult to truly pick a stand out as all excellent, raw blues - but if pushed this one is my favourite. The song writing is first class throughout. It's maybe even slightly lighter in feel than some of the others, but this is still dirty af;)

Pre-Order the latest from Psychic Temple, on which they move deeper into lush, beautiful, commanding psych-pop.
