The Monks Dear Jerry, Don't Try to Kill Me with Your Love, Norman on HQ Vinyl with Lyrics in Desc.

Описание: Track 6 from their debut album “Bad Habits” released in 1979 copyright Harvest/EMI Records. The band was formed by three former members of the English folk-rock band Strawbs. They initially recorded “Nice Legs Shame About Her Face” as a demo that was never intended for an album. A French record label released it in demo quality and it became a No. 19 hit in the U.K. The band wrote the album to go with it as a parody of the punk rock movement, which was hugely popular in London at the time and serious punks didn’t appreciate it. John Lydon aka “Johnny Rotten” of the Sex Pistols called the band’s music “patronizing rubbish,” causing his fans to create a backlash against the album. It fared much better in Canada, where the single “Drugs in my Pocket” reached No. 18 and the album was certified 2X Platinum in 1982. Written by Richard Hudson & John Ford and produced by Richard Hudson, John Ford & Terry Cassidy.

I was restin' all alone, felt no need to carry on
You came into my life to show me I was wrong
Opened up my eyes, you put my feet back on the ground
I never thought that I could take a love this way around

I came to you just cryin' out for affection, oh
All I needed from you was love and protection

(Jerry, don't try to kill me with your love)
(J-J-Jerry, don't try to kill me with your love)

Now, you tell me I'm the one who needed pushin' from behind, oh
You always gave me love, you never were denied
It wasn't long ago when we (touched the sky above)
The stakes seemed so real, it's now a (one, one-way love)

I came to you just cryin' out for affection, oh
All I needed from you was love and protection

Jerry (don't try to kill me with your love)
(J-J-Jerry, don't try to kill me with your love)
(J-Jerry) don't try to kill me (don't try to kill me with your love) don't try to kill me
(J-J-Jerry, don't try to kill me with your love) don't try to kill me with your love
(Uh-oh, oh)

No, I can't forget the time when you couldn't get it up
Now it's all over, you started playin' rough
What was then a lovely dream is just us (throwin' everything aside)
In tryin' to lose me (you committed su-su-vuicide)

I came to you just cryin' out for affection, oh, oh
All I needed from you was love and protection

Jerry (don't try to kill me with your love)
(J-J-Jerry, don't try to kill me with your love)
(J-J-Jerry) don't try to kill me (don't try to kill me with your love) don't try to kill me
(J-J-Jerry, don't try to kill me with your love) don't try to kill me with your love
Don't try to kill me with your (oh, oh, oh) don't try to kill me with your (oh, oh, oh) don't try it
Don't try to kill me with your (oh, oh, oh) don't try to kill me with your (oh, oh, oh) no way
(J-J-Jerry) don't try to kill me (don't try to kill me with your love) don't try to kill me
(J-J-Jerry, don't try to kill me with your love) don't try to kill me with your love
(J-J-Jerry) don't try to kill me (don't try to kill me with your love) don't try to kill me
(J-J-Jerry) don't try to kill me (don't try to kill me with your love)
