Polly Jean Harvey - Shot Of Love lyrics

( music of the millennium awards ) I need a shot of love I need a shot of love. Don't need a shot of h**n to k** my disease Don't need a shot of turpentine, to bring me to my knees Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent Don't need a shot of whiskey, help me to be president I need a shot of love I need a shot of love Doctor, can you hear me? i need some medicaid I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's making me feel afraid What i got ain't painful, it's just bound to k** me dead Like the men that followed jesus, they put a price upon his head I need a shot of love I need a shot of love I don't need no alibi when i'm spending time with you I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard em too Don't show me no picture show or give me no book to read It don't satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feeds I need a shot of love I need a shot of love Why would i want to take your life? You've only murdered my father, raped his wife Tattooed my babies with a poison pen Mocked my god, humiliated my friends I don't wanna be with nobody tonight, veronica ain't nowhere, mavis just ain't right There's a man that hates me, he's swift, smooth and near Am i supposed to set back and wait until he's here? I need a shot of love I need a shot of love
