Blood on My Hands (The Sundays Cover, Version #3)

from Bits and Pieces by Reuben Walton

/

about

I first covered this in the same session recorded at 172 Elm Road, Falmouth, MA 02540, that I recorded my original cover of Portishead's "Threads" during. This one is a little sloppier than that one, and I did leave out the first part of the second verse, but I added some more background vocals and stuff that I didn't do in my recordings back then. There are some unintended harmonies.

lyrics

When people say it's sad, you know it can't be bad
and on any other day I'd be soul destroyed
but now I can't afford to listen to a word they say now
And of all the times we had, oh, the ultimate late night, didn't taste right

True words that I should know
Must've been blood on my hands
But I'm afraid to leave, afraid to stay
a crime's a crime, I'll have to pay
True words I said to myself,
as the wind chilled my bones

Call it young and wild but I ran a mile in a minute
and there's no going back

True words that I should know
Must've been blood on my hands
'cause I'm afraid to leave, afraid to stay
a crime's a crime, I'll have to pay
True words I said to myself,
as the wind chilled my bones
"Home alone, you call that a late night?"

Listen to it
Listen to it

When people say you're dead, you know you caught their eye
and on any other day I'd be soul destroyed
but that's just not the way now
I don't mind telling you nothing is quite what it seems, so

True words I said to myself
must've been blood on my hands
'cause I'm afraid to leave, afraid to stay
a crime's a crime, I'll have to pay
True words I said to myself,
but surely by now, I could say to myself
"Well, the days are getting longer so better get stronger" fast,
surely by now?
