Currently on the list of songs I’m learning to play…

Here’s a nifty little tune by Vangroovy-based band Hot Hot Heat’s Bandages. Imagine The Cure’s Robert Smith leading Elvis Costello’s Attractions (especially organ genius Steve Nieve) and you’ll get an idea of what they sound like.

Bandages

by Hot Hot Heat

from the album Make Up the Breakdown

These ban – da – ges

Co – ver more than scrapes

Cuts and brui – ses from

Re – grets and mistakes

I’ve been hopin’ you’re mopin’ around the street again.

I’ve been trippin’ from sippin’ the drippin’ dirty water tap

I’ve been pokin’ a voodoo doll that you do not know I made.

These ban – da – ges are

Anonymity

I’ve been shakin’ from makin’ an awful de – cis – ion

I’ve been runnin’ and runnin’ — feels like my head is spinning

Round and round all round around around around arooooound!

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

Up and down on my legs my arms from you

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

I’ve been hopin’ you’re mopin’ around the street again.

I’ve been trippin’ from sippin’ the drippin’ dirty water tap

I’ve been pokin’ a voodoo doll that you do not know

I made

For you

Of you

Let’s see what needles do

I’ve been shakin’ from makin’ an awful de – cis – ion

I’ve been thinkin’ I’m drinkin’ too many drinks all by myself

I’ve been runnin’ and runnin’ — feels like my head is spinning

Round and round all round around around around arooooound!

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

Up and down on my legs my arms from you

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry ’cause it’s all under control

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry ’cause it’s all under control

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry ’cause it’s all under control

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry ’cause it’s all under control

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry now

Don’t worry cuz it will all turn around, around, around, around, around, around, aroooooound!

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

Up and down on my legs my arms from you

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

Up and down on my legs my arms from you

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

(Bandages, bandages, bandage-e-es…)

(Bandages, bandages…[can’t figure out these last lyrics])
