Tim: “Masochist is a jam track written in my early 20s, and might be unique in that it’s the only one from that era that I’ve never fallen out of love with. Sitting as it does in that place between satire and serious, it has never made it into one of my major tours… until this year. I’m stoked with this studio version, which I had taught to the boys the day before, and recorded bass, drums and guitar as live. I reckon you can feel that chaotic immediacy, yet it’s rooted in Mannell and Haselwood’s bang-in-the-pocket groove. I fkn love that groove.”
The Song of The Masochist Lyrics
Did you really think that I would love you again?
Did you think I’d just forgive the things that you’ve done to me?
You must think I’m a masochist
If you thought I’d just put up with this
And take you back again
Who do you think I am?
Did you think I’d just
Sit around and wait for you to sort out your stuff?
Ring you up fortnightly to reiterate my love for you?
You must think I’m a masochist
I’d just as soon go and slit my wrists
As take you back again
Who do you think I am?
Did you really think that I would let you have it all?
Spending time alone while making sure you keep a hold on me?
You must think I’m a masochist
I’d just as soon go and slit my wrists
As take you back again
Who do you think I am?
