about

“Laudanum Girl is a song about grieving lost love, that eviscerating and scouring pain, that even though you know there is no fix, doesn’t stop you howling like the tormented soul you are for just a moment’s respite from the agony”

lyrics

Laudanum Girl

Well what can I do?
I don’t wanna live without you, darling it’s true
Something ain’t right
And I’m dying each night
That I’m not by your side

And I just can’t hold on
Everybody’s seems to think I’ve got it all wrong
But what do they know
They ain’t under the spell
Of a laudanum girl like you

Though I’m breathing in and breathing out
I just can’t seem to live without your love
Your warm sweet glow

I crave you, I do
Nothing else will satisfy my yearning for you
I’m twisting inside, going out of my mind
I’ve gotta get a fix tonight

And I just can’t hold on
Everybody’s saying: ‘son, she’s doing you harm’
But what do they know, they ain’t swallowed
the pearl

Of a laudanum girl like you

Though I’m breathing in and breathing out
I just can’t seem to live without your love
Your warm, sweet glow
