about

This version of "Devil Woman" was recorded in Skippack, PA with Jeffro Richards in 2009.

lyrics

I got one black eye and two white stripes
I got three left feet and four flea bites
I had five fellas warn me, met the sixth last night
over seven whiskeys into the morning light

And it ain't working out for me
as far as I can tell, as far as I can see
Those boots were made for walkin' woman
I know you're gonna walk all over me

You've got one sweet smile and fifty sweet lies
You make babies swoon and grown men cry
You've got five scorned lovers just aching to die
I got six cigarettes and a long kiss goodbye

And it ain't working out for me
as much as I might want, as much as I might will it to be
I know you're just a devil woman
I know you'll be the end of me

I know a girl named Rose and a girl named Sue
I've know Mary Janes but nobody's quite like you
I wish I were blind, I were deaf dumb or mute
then maybe then I'd know
just what the hell I'm supposed to do

'Cause this habit of mine is getting old
The 'fridgerator's empty, the bathwater's running cold
You're burnin' like a candle, woman
You're too hot, too hot
Burnin' like a candle, woman
You're too hot, too hot
Burnin' like a candle, woman
You're too hot, too hot to hold

The Feverfew image

The Feverfew Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Feverfew has a sound born in the South and dragged up through the East, landed somewhere between a Brooklyn rooftop and the sea. With unassuming posture, Andrew Bethany Spiers makes an impact. Spiers' lyrics are formidably poetic and steep him as a promising talent in a tradition of literary musicians that includes Patti Smith, David Berman, Thurston Moore and David Byrne, to name a few. ... more
