Hurt Me

Johnny Thunders is one of my biggest musical hero's. Whenever I hear this song I feel like crying. It's probably one of the saddest (for me) but most inspirational songs. It contains the following line, which is pretty much my mantra for life

Maybe I'm the prize fool because I tried
But if I gave up
Life would really suck

Not everyone gets Johnny, but to me he looks like a rock n roll star, plays like one, lived like one and died like one. I'm glad I saw him in his prime.



Hurt Me by Johnny Thunders

Their eyes light up
When you put them down
Heartbeat increases
When you shove 'em around
Spill a drink on her
She's your friend for life
You can carve out a disciple
If you have a knife

Oh, hurt me
Ok, I'll hurt you
Heartbeat you
Then I'm goin' to sleep

I'm not one of those cats that you meet
Don't try, you can't impress me
But there's pages missin'
What's it about?
Each page leaves somethin' you'll never find out

Oh, hurt me
Ok, I'll hurt you
Heartbeat you
Then I'm goin' to sleep

Oh, hurt me
Ok, I'll hurt you
Heartbeat you
Then I'm goin'
Think I'm goin' to sleep

Maybe I'm the prize fool because I tried
But if I gave up
Life would really suck

Oh, hurt me
Ok, I'll hurt you
Heartbeat you
Then I'm goin'
Then I'm goin' sleep
