Robert SmithAbout
“The Blood” was inspired by a Portuguese wine named “Tears Of Christ” (Smith changed it to “blood of Christ” using “poetic license”). He told NME in 1985:
It’s a very cheap Portuguese wine, it’s a very heavy drink that all the workers drink… it’s about 12p a bottle. I was given a bottle of it and I...
The Blood Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me who doesn't love what can never come back?
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep, it's as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all
[Chorus]
I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop
Never stop
[Verse 2]
How it feels to be dry, walking bare in the sun
Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
As I cool in the twilight, taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears, all the broken words
[Chorus]
I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop
Never stop
[Bridge]
When the sunset's glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know if any of this was really true at all
[Chorus]
I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop
Never stop
[Refrain]
Tell me who doesn't love what can never come back?
You can never forget how it used to feel
[Chorus]
I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop
Never stop
[Chorus]
I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop
Never stop
