about

I got the title for this one whilst sitting with a pint in 'The Gamecock' pub in Peterlee Town Centre and observing the young 'cocks' showing off the bruises on their necks from the night before!

(Keith Armstrong - from original liner notes)

lyrics

EVERYBODY’S GOT LOVE BITES BUT ME

In this two-bit town
It’s once bitten twice shy
Chewing streets up and down
My tongue’s asking “Why?”

My teeth are on edge
No work and no necking
Just sucking this ledge
No future worth wrecking

Nothing to say
No reason to pray
Wish something lovely would hit me
Everybody’s got love bites but me
Everybody's got love bites but me

In the back of my mouth
There’s a taste of success
And word has it down south
You can talk oral sex

But in this dingy town
My lips are all cracked
Speechless at home
All sleepless and sacked

Nothing to say
No reason to pray
Wish something lovely would hit me
Everybody’s got love bites but me
Everybody’s got love bites but me

Everybody’s got love bites but me
Everybody's got love bites but me

In this two-bit town
It’s once bitten twice shy
Chewing streets up and down
My tongue’s asking “Why?”

My teeth are on edge
No work and no necking
Just sucking this ledge
No future worth wrecking

Nothing to say
No reason to pray
Wish something lovely would hit me
Everybody’s got love bites but me
Everybody's got love bites but me

Nothing to say
No reason to pray
Wish something lovely would hit me
Everybody’s got love bites but me
Everybody's got love bites but me

Everybody’s got love bites but me
Everybody's got love bites but me

Everybody’s got love bites but me
Everybody's got love bites but me

(lyrics: Keith Armstrong / music: Gary Miller)
