Love Comes In Spurts

This is a early Heartbreakers song Love Comes In Spurts when Richard Hell was still in the band.

I was a child
who wanted love that was wild
though tight as slow motion
but crazed with devotion

insane with devotion
a whole other notion
I was fourteen and a half
and it wasn't no laugh

Love comes in spurts (oh no it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, cuz)
Love comes in spurts (it always hurts)

I just can't get wise
to those tragical lies
though I now know the facts
they still cut like an axe

cuz love comes in spurts
in dangerous flirts
and it murders your heart
they didn't tell you that part

Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts

Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts
Love comes in spurts

I prefer "One Track Mind".

[Beatnikzombie]

I like the Voidoids version better.

the way they decided to have the chorus be sung is unexpected...like when you sing along it takes a bit of work...this band received NO press...they were together about a years time.......from thie first moment they hit the stage in 1975 they were the model; Blondie adopted there stage drag....the Lyrics could not be heard.....when they came around so did all the little cuties from the NY Dolls ......their finesse turn the atmosphere like an opium den

I love misheard lyrics! I always thought it was 'love gods in space'!

First heard this on the soundtrack for the timeless and awesome movie "Pump Up The Volume".

Holy Shit! I thought the same EXACT thing the first time I heard it!

[rknepel]

i always thought they were saying "lovebombs in space." the title argues otherwise.. i'm a little disappointed.

This is more melodic to the Voidoids record thanks for the upload.
