John Hiatt - Something Wild Lyrics






Sometimes I don't even move a muscle
Baby when you lie awake at night
I think I've got nine lives in these corpuscles
Girl, you know sometimes I don't think right
I hear voices in the hall
I wake up and its nothing at all
A hungry wolf, or an angry child

Or something wild
Something wild
Something wild - tell me love is
Something wild - tell me love is

It's not as if we could think that things were one way
And they would all just be that way right now
When I was a kid I thought that someday
I could tame this lion heart, some way, somehow

Now I'm hungry for the love
That doesn't know what it's dreamin' of
Raging for the meek and mild

Like something wild
Something wild
Something wild - tell me love is
Something wild - tell me love is

There's a hole where the wind blows through
And some curtains hung
But I can't hid a thing from you
You know where I come from

Well I tried getting there under my own steam
'Til my very last chance was shot
Now you're under my skin like a submarine
I can feel you in my veins running hot

Now if it's more than a new pair of jeans, a new car, some pocket money
And a place to go
Then we better get up and scream at the top of our lungs like it
Was gonna die if we didn't make it so

I hear voices in the hall
I wake up and it's nothing at all
An angry wolf, or a hungry child

Or something wild
Something wild
Something wild - tell me love is
Something wild - tell me love is
Something wild
Something wild
Something wild

    Iggy Pop made this his own. He certainly knows a good song when he hears it.

    S.... W....

    the chorus, not exactly a masterpiece of music composition, the verse rocks, I was hoping for a creative chorus, it is just 4 notes repeated four times, economical yes

    S.... W....

    3 notes....there are ringtones with more personality

  2. C.... ....

    Sensational album.

  3. P.... L....

    Raised my daughters on John they are in their mid-late twenties now and have gone in different paths in their musical tastes but all 3 of us will always love his music. Mpls Basilica Block Party John and band so awesome! Fellow fan and I smuggled airport size booze in our bras and one of his security guys kept just randomly handing me glasses of ice all night - greatest concert EVER!

  4. p.... ....

    Same story as Scott. My now dead uncle turned me in and have been a serious fan since!

  5. S.... H....

    Love this guy, my friend, 7 years ago turned me onto John and I've been playing his music ever since.  My friend has since passed away but Blue Telescope brings him near again

    S.... H....

    It's not Scott talking it's Lori, just to make that clear
