[Verse 1]
A change will do you good
I always knew it would
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
[Chorus]
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so (Sweet)
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
[Verse 2]
The sins of the flesh
Are simply sins of lust
Sweat's running down your neck
Sweat's running down your back
Heated somethings in the sun (Or is that untrue?)
Colder somethings in the night (Never saw your body)
[Chorus]
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
A change will do you good
I always knew it would
You know the change will do you good
You know the change will do you good
[Bridge]
Damaged goods
Send 'em back
I can't work, I can't achieve
Send 'em back
Open the till
Give me the change you said would do me good
(You said you're cheap)
[Chorus]
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
The change will do you good
I always knew it would
You know the change will do you good
You know the change will do you good
[Outro]
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
(Bye!)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye (Hey!)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye (Bye!)
Damaged Goods was written by Andy Gill & Dave Allen & Hugo Burnham & Jon King.

IDLES does not exist without Gang Of Four. ’Damaged Goods’ still sounds new and exciting after the millionth listen. We jumped at the chance to just to play it, let alone record it. It was an honour, a joy and a privilege.
