The Devil Had a Hold of Me Songtext
von The Pretty Things

I was just a boy of two
I was just a boy of two
With a golden heart and a button shoe

The devil had a hold of me
The devil had a hold of me
I turned my head and I could see
The devil had a hold of me

There′s something wrong with the butcher's boy
There′s something wrong with the butcher's boy
He trembled in his hand and voice

The devil had a hold of me
The devil had a hold of me
The others knew to let him be
But the devil had a hold of me

The tailpipe spit and the engine roared
The tailpipe spit and the engine roared
I's waving out the Plymouth door


And the devil had a hold of me
The devil had a hold of me
I turned my head and I could see
The devil had a hold of me

I dreamed last night that my time was done
I dreamed last night that my time was done
My soul flew up to the holy one

The devil had a hold of me
The devil had a hold of me
I snapped back down when he pulled my lead
The devil had a hold of me

There′re those who′ll laugh and not believe
There're those who′ll laugh and not believe
Until you feel that touch upon your sleeve

The devil had a hold of me
The devil had a hold of me
I turned my head and I could see
The devil had a hold of me
I turned my head and I could see
The devil had a hold of me
