My Curse Lyrics

You hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume

Oh, I do not fear you
And slave I only use
As a word to describe the special way I feel for you
You look like me

And I look like no one else
We need no other
As long as we have ourselves
But I won't cry about it

Every time you get obsessed
Every time I came undressed
All ugly thoughts are gone
I'm sure we'll all be friends

I'll try to break your back
You'll try to make amends
Curse softly to me baby
And smother me in your love

Temptation comes not from hell but from above
And there's blood on my teeth
When I bite my tongue to speak
Zip me down, kiss me there

I can smile now
You won't find out ever
Hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do

Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh I do not fear you
And slave I only use as a word to describe

The way I feel when I'm with you
If I have to lie about it everytime I came undressed

My Curse

Greg Dulli, who is normally lead singer, opted to let Marcy Mays of local band Scrawl sing lead on this song. Some have said the song hit too close to home for Dulli. He has sung lead on this song in concert, so he must be over whatever negative feelings he once had.

Be For Real Lyrics

Are you back in my life to stay
Or is it just for today
Oh that you need me
If its a thrill you're lookin for
Well honey I am flexible
Oh yeah
Just....
Be For Real
Won't you baby
Be for real
Won't you baby
You see I, I don't want, to be hurt by love again
You can understand baby, can't you?
Now you see I am not naive
But I would like to believe
Oh what you tell me
So don't give me the world today
And then tomorrow take it away
Don't do that to me darling
No....
Be for real
Won't you baby
Be for real
Won't you baby
You see I, I don't want, to be hurt by love again
Be for real
Won't you baby
Be for real
Won't you baby
You see I, I don't want, to be hurt by love again
Because I, don't want, to be hurt by love again

Be For Real

This was written by a Soul singer named Frederick Knight and originally recorded by Marlena Shaw in 1976. Leonard Cohen covered it in 1992 for his album Future.

The Afghan Whigs recorded this for the movie Beautiful Girls. The movie was another example of Greg Dulli collaborating with director Ted Demme. Dulli would star in one of his last films: Monument Avenue.
