Topic: The Devil Came Back.

This is a bit of a jokey type song I just finished writing, I actually know 2 guys in this type of abusive relationship where they get beaten up and ruled over by their girlfriends. I often see them come to work [or the pub] with cuts and bite marks...it's not just girls that get beaten up by violent partners, who tell them it's not their fault because they "love them so much" as I tell them; jealousy is not love, it's an excuse...

The Devil Came BackUndefined


[E]I woke in the morning


Pains inside my head


She'd packed up all her bags


I'm leaving you she said


With a [A]heavy heart I waved her off


I even called the cab


And [E]when at last she got inside


I started feeling glad






I [F#m]went inside


I called some friends


[A]Cleaned my party shoes


[E]Drew some money from the bank


Tonight I hit the booze






chorus




I [A]woke again next morning


A banging in my head


And [E]when I opened up the door


I've come back she said






And the [A]devil came back


The [E]devil came back



And the [A]devil came back


[B]just as things turned good for me


My [D]life was back on track


[A]Satan's standing at my door


The devil came back






So [E]when my friends came calling


She told them all to go


She didn't want me hanging `round


With people she don't know


I [A]told her she was bad to me


She promised she would change


But [E]it seems she lied again


Cos she is just the same






I [F#m]feel so low


It hurt me bad


She [A]made me bleed and then


Took [E]all my money from the bank


And then she left again






repeat chorus

Hi Phil,

The lady in your song is definitely in the wrong place - some guys pay a lot of money for that type of treatment !

Hi Phill,

I knew a "lady" like that once, thank goodness I had the sense to get away, wiser but poorer. I hope you will soon record this one. Thank you,

Re: The Devil Came Back.

Re: The Devil Came Back.

well, thanks everyone, unfortunately there are people out there like this! it's strange though that i've heard if 2 in the same area.

russ, it's a weird thing but guys, like women, will accept all kinds of abuse and beatings mistakenly thinking that it's being doled out to them out of love...love?....nah it takes them years to work it out that their abusers just like being boss and inflicting pain.

hi daddycool, i knew a lot of women that had their man hurt them, now i know some guys too.

hi kenny, no i didn't know your ex's personally, but i think they may be related to some women i knew...

hi alan,  money...how much...lol

hi roger, english or portuges? we are always richer and wiser after the event!

hi ken,  go on...be a devil i dare you to serenade your wife with this, i haven't the guts to sing it to mine, she wont believe it's about someone else, she always believes the bad things, never the good...women are funny...aren't they?

hi selso,  i know some hank williams, but i'm not familiar with that one, but knowing it's a hank song, i'll take it as a compliment...thanks
