Cocker Joe Hell And Highwater Lyrics

Hell And Highwater Lyrics

Well I was standing at the junction

 Trying to kill some time

 She was sitting high on a bar stool

 Drinking some cheap red wine

 I asked how she was doing

 She said she was doing fine

 When she asked me for a cigarette

 I recognised the signs

 

 Well I knew just what she wanted

 And I swear it wasn't love

 She just needed something to keep her head above

 Hell and highwater

 

 Try and make it through the night

 Hell and highwater

 Sometimes it's hard to keep your head above

 Hell and highwater

 Sometimes it don't feel right

 Hell and highwater

 Well the girl's just trying to keep her head above

 Hell and highwater

 

 A rainy night at a station

 In an old half way hotel

 The kind of place to make you feel

 One stop away from hell

 Where the angels meet the drifters

 Where many strong men fell

 I asked her if she had a name

 She said call me Jezebel

 

 Well I knew just what she wanted

 And I swear it wasn't love

 She just needed something to keep her head above

 Hell and highwater

 

 Try and make it through the night

 Hell and highwater

 Sometimes it's hard to keep your head above

 Hell and highwater

 Sometimes it don't feel right

 Hell and highwater

 Well the girl's just trying to keep her head above

 Hell and highwater

 

 I picked up my suitcase

 I was heading for the door

 When a voice behind with a scarlet smile

 Said honey you'll be back for more

 

 I knew just what she wanted

 And I swear it wasn't love

 She just needed something to keep her head above

 

 Hell and highwater

 

 Try and make it through the night

 Hell and highwater

 Sometimes it's hard to keep your head above

 Hell and highwater

 Sometimes it don't feel right

 Hell and highwater

 Well the girl's just trying to keep her head above

 Hell and highwater
