Spit of Love Lyrics


There's a howlin' at my window
I hear him closin' in
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent
Knows I'll let him inSlinks in by me at the fire
More bitter than the cold
And it's a rage as old as Hades
That'll sputter on these coalsWell, I'm callin' on the Furies
To let the toast begin
Roastin' on the spit of love again
The spit of love againI never have believed you
But I stick around for more
Somethin' 'bout that hollow in your eyes
There's a darkness at the coreWell, it's got me slowly turnin'
And I'm basting on a bone
And I'm skewered like some drunken fool
In juices, all my ownCallin' the Furies' carrion choir
Singin' me back upon the pyre
I'm roastin' on that spit of love again

Spit of love againYou call it what you want
But it's lyin' just the same
There's no mercy in these ashes, baby
When your love's a cryin' shameAnd they're howlin' in the moonlight, baby
They're here to call my bluff
They're wonderin' if there'll ever come a day
When I'll have finally had enoughWell, I'm callin' on the Furies
To let the toast begin
Roastin' on the spit of love again
Roastin' on that spit of love, spit of love again
Take this, baby

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues and R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt. Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more...I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist.
