Robin Brock: Music

• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

I don't do drugs, or smoke...everyone needs an addiction, don't they. I'm having issues with mine in this particular song.

I'm using again - my drug is food

When I'm pissed off that's what I do

I'm seduced by Lady Godiva when I don't wanna face my naked truth

 

Like a junkie when I'm on edge

M&M Donuts under my bed

Sugar high used to numb the pain

But not anymore

 

I NEED A NEW ADDICTION

BEFORE I SPLIT MY PANTS

I NEED A NEW ADDICTION

CAUSE THIS ONE MAKES ME FAT

I NEED A NEW ADDICTION, A NEW FIXATION

FOR MY DEPENDANT PERSONALITY

THIS ONE'S DESTROYING ME

 

I'm spending again - my closets ooze with shopping bags and ebay shoes

I'm feeding the beast - in vain – insane

Cause I don't wanna change my attitude

 

I don't care if it doesn't fit

When I'm sad I've just gotta have it

Buying sprees used to help me forget

But not anymore

 

I NEED A NEW ADDICTION

NOT BOOZE, NOT DRUGS OR SMOKES

I NEED A NEW ADDICTION

THIS ONE MAKES ME BROKE

I NEED A NEW ADDICTION, A NEW FIXATION

FOR MY DEPENDANT PERSONALITY

CAUSE THIS ONE'S DESTROYING ME

 

I've gotta stop pushing these feelings away

I've gotta detox the junk inside I've saved

I need paper and my guitar

Making music's the only thing that's saved me so far

 

I NEED A NEW ADDICTION

BEFORE I SPLIT MY PANTS

I NEED A NEW ADDICTION

CAUSE THIS ONE MAKES ME FAT

I NEED A NEW ADDICTION, A NEW FIXATION

FOR MY DEPENDANT PERSONALITY

THIS ONE'S DESTROYING ME

 

I'VE GOT A NEW ADDICTION

I THINK I'VE FLIPPED A SWITCH

I'VE GOT A NEW ADDICTION

MAYBE I'LL GET RICH

I'VE GOT A NEW ADDICTION

I'VE GOT A NEW ADDICTION, A NEW FIXATION

FOR MY DEPENDENT PERSONALITY

CAUSE THIS ONE'S DESTROYING ME
