She said, "I know that there will come a time
When I get nothing from the blood and the wine"
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
You'll find me a silver chain
They'll deny me and whisper my name
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'll carry myself half way blind
Through each and every doorway I can find
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna lose my lonely mind for you
Well there's an answer if only I knew
It'll carry my heart home to you
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm digging the dirt for a sign
And pray to let my little light shine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
Tell one last beautiful lie for me
Make all your promises rhyme for me
Keep me in line but do it honestly
Make it real, make it slow, stay alive for me
Call my name when the line goes dead
I'll be fire, I'll be rain, I'll be joy, I'll be dread
Come on, baby don't be shy
All I want is you and I
Out on the street I'll be every face
There'll be no man alive
That can take my place
Give it up, let it go
The sooner you do the sooner I'll go
I'm digging the dirt for a sign
And I'll pray to let my little light shine
And set my heart on the line
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind
I'm going to lose my lonely mind
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
Me and the Devil was written by Jon Fratelli.
Me and the Devil was produced by Tony Hoffer.
The Fratellis released Me and the Devil on Fri Aug 21 2015.
The song’s inspiration came from a novel called, “Me and the Devil” by the author Nick Tosches. The song ties in as Nick wrote a biography of Jerry Lee Lewis and was dubbed ‘the greatest rock 'n’ roll biography ever written'.
Lead singer Jon Fratelli revealed there were at least four
other [unreleased] versions of this song. Jon expanded on this:
I’m quite happy we waited until it was right. Some things, you need not push them; you need to let them arrive somewhere, and that one definitely kind of arrived.
