about

"Got it Bad" was recorded 100% live in a single take to analog tape. There is no post production editing. What you hear and see is exactly how it was performed in the moment it was recorded.

lyrics

Whisper a prayer softly in my ear
Your breath us quick
"Drink of this potion; all will be splendid"
So we take a sip
Hair brushes my skin; temperatures rising
So the legend goes
And then she said, "I've got it bad for you"

Thwarted by a star maligned against us
The feeling flows
Bodies draw nearer, lips start to quiver
We are in the throes
Shudder, shiver– a tinge of blush
And then I said, "Seems I've got it bad for you too"

There's a mess in here
Where I find my mind
And it's caught between you
And what is good for me
Darling, I'll be damned
But oh God, it feels so true
Like Tristan and Isolde
