Again

"Again" is a B-side originally released on the In Joy and Sorrow CD single, but was eventually released on the special Christmas limited edition album release of Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights, the Sacrament Vol. 2 CD single and featured in the film Haggard.

The song was performed vaguely on the Razorblade Romance Summer Tour in 2000 and written on the set lists as "Ooze" which may or may not of been the working title for the song. An earlier session take of the song with slightly different lyrics was released on Uneasy Listening Vol. 2 which comes from the Hollola tapes.

Lyrics

Again

I've seen
You turned your back on life again
And I've seen
Your stumbling downwards once again

And I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again, yeah

Oh you hear
Me cry behind your back again
And you hear
My heart beat slowing down again

And I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again
I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again, yeah

Oh baby, yes I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again
And I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again

Despair holding our hearts again, ooh
That's right
Yeah

Again (Hollovlad Tapes)

I've seen
You turned your back on life again
I've seen
Your stumbling downwards once again

And I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again, yeah

You've seen
Me cry behind your back again
And you've seen
My heart beat slowing down again

And I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again
I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again, yeah

Oh baby, yes I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again
And I feel
Despair kissing our lips again
And I feel
Despair holding our hearts again

Despair holding our hearts again, ooh
That's right
Yeah
