lyrics

Where The Needle Hits The Red.
Lyrics and Music by Dave Wright
©2016

It’s one of those nights where I can’t sleep, the moonlight shining in on me,
You always said I’d think myself to death.
You made it so hard for me, to be the man I could have been,
There’s more to me than these empty cans suggest.


We started out like a country song with a chorus sweet, and clear, and strong,
But somewhere down the line it all went wrong.
The best country songs have a dark side where you don’t dare hum along,
And Lucinda that was you and me I guess…
So take me back to where the needle hits the red.

So in the end you were like a stranger to me, and I could have done things differently,
But I was stubborn, and you were so proud.
So in the end it kind of just petered you, no violence, no screaming row,
Just indifference, and I don’t know which is worse.

We started out like a country song with a chorus sweet, and clear, and strong,
But somewhere down the line it all went wrong.
The best country songs have a dark side where you don’t dare hum along,
And Lucinda that was you and me I guess…

If I let myself look back,
I see how my weakness made you strong,
You came on like a heart attack,
Now look at all the damage that you’ve done,
That you’ve done.


We started out like a country song with a chorus sweet, and clear, and strong,
But somewhere down the line it all went wrong.
The best country songs have a dark side where you don’t dare hum along,
And Lucinda that was you and me I guess,
Lucinda that was you and me I guess,
Oh Lucinda that was you and me I guess…
So take me back to where the needle hits the red.

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric image

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric Melbourne, Australia

Singer/songwriter/bandleader Dave Wright is after one thing: A perfect 4-minute pop song.
When he puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings, however, the Melburnian-by-way-of-Colac knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death. ... more
