The Blues Havin' Blues Lyrics - Ironiclast - The Damned Things

The good lord must have heard my prayers 

Because he packed up and disappeared 

He took the praise and extravagant odes 

And left the sting, I've been dying to know 

Someone should give that old Devil his due 

He taught me how to love only you 

He taught me how to love only you 

I know I owe my good fortune to him 

'Cause he pulled me out of the trance 

That faith had put me in 

I've been blessed with a broken heart 

Since the day I was born 

Cleansed in the water 

The sons and the daughters 

Stripped of the sins we're destined for 

I've been blessed with a broken heart 

Since the day I've been reborn 

Down in the water 

The sons and the daughters 

The kind of death worth living for 

The good stranger has seen me grieve 

He saw the crooked old heart on my sleeve 

He took the note I had handwritten and said 

Only sinners become better men 

Someone should give that old devil his due 

He taught me how to love only you 

He taught me how to love only you 

Yeah, I owe the love of my woman to him 

Because he took her out of the grave 

That faith put her in 

I've been blessed with a broken heart 

Since the day I was born 

Cleansed in the water 

The sons and the daughters 

Stripped of the sins we're destined for 

I've been blessed with a broken heart 

Since the day I've been reborn 

Down in the water 

The sons and the daughters 

The kind of death worth living for 

I can't live without the blues 

I can't love without the blues 

I can't sleep without the blues 

The Devil will take his pay so we're alright 

I can't live without the blues 

I can't love without the blues 

I can't sleep without the blues 

The Devil will take his pay so we're alright 

Because he pulled me out the trance 

That faith had put me in 

Well, I've been blessed with a broken heart 

Since the day I was born 

Cleansed in the water 

The sons and the daughters 

Stripped of the sins we're destined for 

I've been blessed with a broken heart 

Since the day I've been reborn 

Down in the water 

The sons and the daughters 

The kind of death worth living for 

And I've been blessed with a broken heart 

Since the day I was born 

Cleansed in the water 

The sons and the daughters 

Stripped of the sins we're destined for 

I've been blessed with a broken heart 

Since the day I've been reborn 

Down in the water 

The sons and the daughters 

The kind of death worth living for
