Barry Adamson - The Last Words Of Sam Cooke (Official Lyric Video)

Taken from the forthcoming album 'Cut To Black' released on May 17 and available to pre-order now from my official store - www.lexermusic.com/barry-adamson
Music by Barry Adamson
Lyrics by Siena Barnes
Lyrics:
I was high when I met her
I really should have known better
She was wild and licentious
Love by the hour’s unpretentious
She was hankering for attention
Neon drug store blessing
I was young and adventurous
With a buck to buy some brand new shoes
The stars they were fading
The high that I am still chasing
At the midnight Hacienda Blue
All my dreams had come true
Ahh Lady you shot me
Lady you shot me
I’m a man and salvation is here
Temptation’s calling me loud and clear
She light me up and blow me away
King of lost souls on my knees and I pray
Cupid’s bullet loaded in her gun
Conquest feels like redemption
Angel singing a devil’s song
Don’t wait for heaven, cos here I come
That bad apple that tastes so sweet
Back seat girl knocked me off my feet
At the midnight Hacienda Blue
All of my love won’t save you
Ahh Lady you shot me
Lady you shot me
Blood moon bathed in cheap champagne
Sunset strip swallowed my soul once again
At the midnight Hacienda Blue
All my dreams faded from view
Lady you shot me

A real knockout! I was so grateful for the release of this album. A very welcome diversion from the overwhelming pile of pop pablum and shite that is cruising the airwaves and clogging up digital streams. This is a great album worth many listens as it wends and weaves through many diversionary sounds that work together to keep it always interesting. Thank You Barry for your work. Ladies and gentlemen, this is talent and skill at work.
