The Horrors - I Can't Control Myself (with lyrics)

A hard, bold and pretty violent song by the Horrors. Eerie tamborines rattle their way through heavy guitar drones and Faris spits sounding like a Devil's acolyte. An amazing sound. Taken from the Horrors second album, 'PRIMARY COLOURS' (2009). LISTEN LOUD.

Faris Badwan - vocals. Joshua Hayward - guitar. Tim Cowan - synthesizer. Rhys Webb - bass. Joseph Spurgeon (Coffin Joe) - drums.

Across the pathless sands
Through jungle, blind I run
No guide taken in hand
And no idea where to turn

No sanctuary found
I tear myself in two
I pray for scarlet fields to save me
Whole and white and pure

I can't control myself
Lend one of your hands 'cause I
I can't control myself

I dream of lost desires
Fingers run through fur
I drive myself insane
The rain cascades onto the dirt

And in the throes of love
Where the shadows burst in flames
I cast myself abandoned
With a cry I call your name

I can't control myself
I try and I try but I
I can't control myself

I can't control myself
Lend one of your hands 'cause I
I can't control myself
Or hold myself in though I try

I can't control myself
Deliver me from the fire
I can't control myself
