Everyone Has Been Burned Before

Charlatans UK "The Only One I Know" Listen | Buy

NOTES: I'm having a retro couple of days. This is the kind of music I listened to when I was in college. These guys are probably best known (if known at all) for this song, which was their first real single. Very indicative of what was then called the "Madchester" (for Manchester, England) sound. I like the organ (ha!). I also really liked the singer, Tim Burgess.

The only one I know
Has come to take me away
The only one I know
Is mine when she stitches me

The only one I see
Has found an aching in me
The only one I see
Has turned her tongue into me

Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain

The only one I know
Never cries, never opens her eyes
The only one I know
Wide awake and then she's away

The only one I see
Is mine when she walks down our street
The only one I see
Has carved her way into me

Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
