Cold Comfort - Lyrics - Barry Adamson

He has worked with rock bands such as Magazine, Visage, The Birthday Party, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and the electro musicians Pan sonic. Adamson has also remixed Grinderman, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Depeche Mode. He created the seven-minute opus Useless remix for the latter band in 1997. He has also worked on the soundtrack for David Lynch's Lost Highway, and released numerous solo recordings.

High rise fall to ground Nuclear sun sets down Wounded full of fear Pass the salt my dear You try to squeeze juice from a dry piece of fruit Play your hand right but nothing will suit Left in the lurch with nothing to boot Sugar babe Sugar babe? Down and run the bend Everyone your friend Suck to save your soul Thank your God less whole You take an infinite thirst to the emptiest well The sickness don't budge, the fever won't quell Your cell mate is free, your soul mate's in Hell Sugar babe Sugar babe? Hopes in front out back Watch them fold then crack You just kissed the sky With your last goodbye Sugar babe?
