Tea Party, The - Hurt Lyrics






What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away, goes away
In the end.
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
And I would let you down
I will make you hurt

    d.... b....

    dan blake you must be dumbest person on earth for a comment like that! Or just a miserable mess! Idiot!!!

  5. d.... ....

    The voice of the 21st century

  6. W.... N....

    Trent does it so well don't he !!!!!!!!

  7. T.... ....

    A true artist he puts his whole heart and soul in his music, sucks you in. My daughter and her friend opened for him at a private concert last summer. He was so kind and invited them to the tea party concert to watch side stage. Such a kind man, down to earth. An experience my daughter and I will forever cherish. 😎

  8. v.... r....

    Sheesh, he's such a blend of musicians, a bit of Jim Morrison, a bit of Elvis, a tiny bit of Nirvana. So much depth! Chills. So beautiful

    v.... r....

    It's just himself, an amazing spirit.

  9. S.... G....

    He owns every single cover he makes!

  10. R.... W....

    Irritant op het laatste moment dat gefluit er tussen door.

  11. P.... ....

    Holy hells. He's amazing.

  12. P.... C....

    Just FYI this is a nine inch nails song...Mr Cash only did a cover.

  13. M.... C....

    It's Bob Dylan -_-

  14. S.... R....

    Jeff loves Trent

  15. J.... V....

    hey brother real good version of hurt . and al that fucking guys they have no voice to sing that song they are only ride bullshit comends here they are nothig Brother keep on Rocking .

  16. T.... ....

    A great Canadian artist.

  17. H.... ....

    its a good song people shut up I if its a good vocalist its a good verson.

  18. J.... P....

    Jeff Martin did a really good job. Johnny Cash would be so proud of him.

  19. K.... N....

    Jeff Martin sings Hurt with no compare to any one's performing it. He is our voice live.

  20. P.... C....

    its just like all along the watchtower is attributed to hendrix, cash just played it better (in my opinion)

  21. I.... ....

    No, I'm sick of this song always being attributed to Cash. It's not his song.

    I.... ....

    InSingularity nine inch nails even said its now johnnys song, also I forgot whats its called but this song is what goes on after his death

  22. K.... L....

    No. He covered this years before cash did.

  23. B.... ....

    It's called CENSORSHIP!!!

  24. D.... G....

    Right take note: this is a cover of Johnny Cash's version, as he sings "crown of thorns", as opposed to "crown of shit". He uses the changed lyrics that Cash implemented.

  25. I.... ....

    Fuck Johnny Cash. This is Reznor's song

  26. D.... H....

    Hi I'm back!! I still love your music terrific !!

    D.... H....

    Fick you johnny cash made this song.trent would say the same

  27. M.... R....

    Finally a man who can actually bring LIFE and such brilliance to music!!!

  28. B.... ....

    Very good performance

  29. G.... ....

    Oh my god i love this song and that cover whas amazing i think johnny cash would be so proud what s great man

  30. B.... ....

    I love Jeff's take on this song, and I am a way bigger NIN fans than a johnny cash one. I've been trying to record a version of this myself, just for fun, but can't get the depth or drive to make it seem worth while.

  31. D.... M....

    What a great voice. These discoveries make life a bit better, right? : )

  32. C.... ....

    very cool

  33. F.... F....

    @cassidymav wait until you hear Shepherd

  34. y.... ....

    i really enjoy the way he blended both cashes and trents versions to make this kickass cover!

  35. c.... ....

    Jeff Martin and Trent Reznor probably have two of the most gorgeous voices this world has ever seen! And with a song as powerfull as this! Gosh! You become the song, swirl into it gently... such a beautiful version!

  36. A.... B....

    fuck yes he's playing in trasmania soon

  37. D.... K....

    8 ppl should be hurt real bad

  38. G.... h....

    wow that voice...so powerful.

  39. J.... L....

    I am a big fan of Johnny Cash !!! I love this men !!!! But i yes this remake is perfect !!Jeff is perfect ! :)

  40. b.... ....

    the original lion is trent reznor.nine inch nails

  41. S.... K....

    But listen to it by the original dying lion, Johnny Cash. That is authentic hurt.

  42. I.... C....

    LOVE> madly.

  43. G.... S....

    Some one should teach JM major chords. All negative, all a downer.

  44. M.... ....

    @Dj44marihuana Great... That comment looks it should go on Johnny Cash video. -.-

  45. A.... C....

    @aricomagik1 It's still a cover, since Trent of NIN wrote it.

  46. A.... C....

    @aricomagik1 well...that's still a cover.

  47. H.... ....

    Johnny cash 10x better!!!

  48. J.... P....

    this is a cover of the cover ._.

  49. Q.... ....

    @Pannadingoe if you haven't found it yet, there's a decent chance it's Santana's cover with Rob Thomas on vocals, his delivery does sound a bit like Jeff Martin at times on it

  50. C.... ....

    GOD I love this guy his voice is amazing. Want to go see him baaaad.

  51. l.... ....

    *gasp* LOVE!

  52. S.... F....

    I saw Jeff at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday night, singing Beatles Hits along side of Doug Parkinson, Glenn Shorrock and the amazing Jack Jones...I had not heard him before and his voice just blew me away...I guess I fell in love...(hes so god damned sexy)...I will be listening to a lot more of his music in the future...his voice is sensational...

  53. A.... ....

    Barely started listening to Jeff and the Tea Party a couple of months ago, fantastic band, I love his voice, it's a shame they're no longer together.

  54. W.... ....

    Not a bad cover. I wished he went up an octave and really screamed out the last part like Reznor does though. That would have made it perfect.

    No cover matches the sense of desperation and depravity conveyed in the vocals quite like Trent can.

  55. r.... ....

    @slimysteve12 - Trent Reznor wrote this song, not Johnny Cash.

  56. r.... ....

    @rickygnr - Johnny Cash covered it. Trent Reznor wrote it. It's on Downward Spiral.

  57. r.... ....

    @Misrabelle

    definately Reznor... love the NiN original, assuming cash got permission to change the words, but am gessing Trent wouldn't have minded too much.

    a great song that sounds good no matter who sings it :D (so far, pls don't let the idols cover it)

  58. M.... ....

    @rickygnr go look it up on wiki. Apology accepted.

  59. M.... ....

    @slimysteve12 Except that it's actually a Nine Inch Nails song? Trent Reznor wrote it.

  60. s.... s....

    nobody will ever be able to play this song. It shouldnt even be attempted. They dont no how he felt and cant put that emotion into it. when johnny siings it he pours his heart into it and thats what makes the hair stand up

  61. S.... ....

    lol, thats cool

  62. R.... ....

    fucking awesome...

  63. n.... ....

    yeah i'm from WNY and have seen this dude and the band. I think that splender solis was just too far ahead of its time to be popular. I'm 29 and loved tea party in high school and still put them on my mp3 player to take me back to then!

  64. B.... G....

    In my mind....THE BEST MODERN ARTIST!!!
    Although Jeff and the Tea Party never really broke into the U.S...(other than Western N.Y) that Australia really embraced him and my home Canada still loves him dearly. Thanks for the glorious display of talent Jeff!!! *S*

  65. N.... V....

    its soo an awesome cover !
    does someone know the tuning and the tabs ?

  66. P.... A....

    Thankyou Jeff :)

  67. C.... A....

    Jeff Martin is truly one of canada's hidden jems!

  68. J.... ....

    A touching NIN track that is still covered today - the Sevendust version ain't so bad either......

  69. i.... ....

    I hope you're saying, RIP - Johnny, because this sounds more like Cash's cover and not because you think it's his song. This is a Nine Inch Nails song. Although, much respect to Mr.Cash and his version, as well.

  70. G.... P....

    nice track!

    r.i.p johnny

  71. R.... P....

    actually the Tea Party was doing this song way back on the Transmission tour. I remember them going a shortened version of it back at a live show i saw during that tour...so i am not at all surprise that Mr. Martin is doing the full song at solo shows

  72. c.... ....

    wow everyone is redoing nine inch nails music and espicially hurt

  73. b.... ....

    Holy Shit! Jeff! way to go keep rocking, glad to know you're still workin!

  74. A.... H....

    i'm a youngin, but i totally agree.....even to look at, there's a resemblance.

  75. A.... H....

    i cant wait to see jeff do an acoustic session next month....what an amazing voice.......sends chills down my spine

  76. o.... ....

    I agree, when I first heard their first album,I thought right away he sounds a lot like Jim Morrison.

  77. B.... G....

    I have no problems when artists re-do songs, aslong as they do a good job at making the song 'their own' and give the song some justice.....Why does Jeff always make songs sound so cool??? *LOL* It's incredible listening to his strong voice....(and he's an incredible...AND underrated guitarist). I recently converted my wife's 60 yr old uncle over to listening to the Tea Party and Jeff Martin....and he is absolutely hooked!!!
    Thanks for posting this!

  78. d.... ....

    he means the order. Trent Reznor's (i.e. NIN) the original writer

  79. l.... ....

    Really? You didnt like the beginning? Wow.I,from the first pluck of the guitar and the tone(and ofcourse it being Jeff Martin)I knew I was going to love it..and I DID!!
    amazingly soothing..loved it -every bit of it


    He is amazing..been a fan of The Tea Party for years..and Jeff Martin since about 2001!
    Yes,I agree about his voice,I love it too :D

  80. D.... ....

    I love this song. It has so much raw emotion... He played it wonderfully at the concert he performed at in Melbourne. I love his ability to be able to release himself on stage; he is one of a kind :)

  81. N.... H....

    L O V E ~ I T ! ! !

  82. P.... D....

    3 august Jeff Martin live at Het Front in Vroomshoop, The Netherlands

  83. J.... P....

    Garth Brooks signature series? I haven't followed Jeff that much since The Tea Party ceased to exist, but I find it EXTREMELY odd he'd be playing a Garth Brooks Takamine. Is Garth Brooks playing a 1916 Gibson Harp Guitar now too?

    Odd.

  84. K.... ....

    anyone know when jeff's new album is coming out?

  85. J.... M....

    lol i found him because we have the same name. i searched my name and he popped up.

  86. w.... ....

    where can i here tea partys version veedub87

  87. A.... ....

    They might've said that for the 'crown of thorns' line as opposed to the original NIN lyric. Johnny Cash replaced it in his cover.

  88. J.... P....

    I miss when The Tea Party did Hurt... Jeff really belted it out... AND YOU COULD HAVE IT ALL>>> MY EMPIRE OF DIRT>>> This is good, but TTP did a much more heartwrenching version(or should I say snippet - I don't remember them ever doing the whole song...just a bit in the middle of Save Me.

  89. d.... ....

    such powerful vocals, awesome.

  90. w.... ....

    garbacio9 you an idiot its not a jc cover its a nin cover

  91. K.... ....

    NIN made the classic. johnny cash did a pretty awesome cover and Jeff does it even better, the vocals are great, the melody, the instruments, rock on Jeff, just please make another album!

  92. h.... ....

    nope. cant say i like the cover. but linkin park rock the joint.

  93. h.... ....

    what? what? stfu. talk sense man.

  94. h.... ....

    oh my. how terrible.

  95. J.... L....

    all right!yes 100% with you!im profoundly toutching by all the tea party song...and jeff of course!
