Devil On My Shoulder (rough demo)

from The Sounds of Heavy Mama by Heavy Mama

/

about

One of the last recordings undertaken by Heavy Mama and this rough recording is the only available studio version of the song in the Heavy Mama archives. No other versions exist apart from some raw black & white video footage recorded early 2008... but that's on YouTube!).

lyrics

There's a devil on my shoulder
That only I can see
There's a devil on my shoulder
That's only got eyes for me
If only you could see him
You'd see I'm not a freak
He'd like to burn your house down
And go dancing in the street

There's a devil on my shoulder
That's whispering in my ear
You think that I'm not listening
It's just that I cannot hear
Anything you say
From night time until day
Cause he just won't go away

There's a man in California
That swears that he's a doctor
If you've got a problem
He'll take it away, he's always got something for you
But all I need is a priest
And a bucket of holy water
He can hold my hair back
As I hold my head under
