Carlton, Vanessa - Needle In The Hay Lyrics






Your hand on his arm
Haystack charm around your neck
Strung out and thin
Calling some friend trying to cash some check
He's acting dumb
That's what you've come to expect

Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

He's wearing your clothes
Head down to toes a reaction to you
You say you know what he did
But you idiot kid
You don't have a clue
And sometimes they just get caught in the eye
You're pulling him through

Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

Now on the bus
Nearly touching this dirty retreat
Falling out
6th and Powell, a dead sweat in my teeth
Gonna walk, walk, walk
Four more blocks plus the one in my brain
Down downstairs to the man
He's gonna make it all okay
I can't be myself
I can't be myself and I don't want to talk
I'm taking the cure so I can be quiet whenever I want
So leave me alone
You ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks

Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

    vanessa always gives her fans such a rich experience. she is a true talent and i look forward to many more years of her excellent music.

  2. D.... ....

    not french but good

  3. j.... n....

    "We Love You Vanessha"

    Your Song Always Makes Things That Are Stuck Directly To Be Calm


    #Thanx

  4. T.... _....

    kinda spooky 👍

  5. D.... C....

    No other artist can take over my mind...suspend time, make me laugh and cry. Was seriously ill for what was supposed to be at least 2 weeks. She pulled me through in less than 3 days, from bed ridden to on my feet. Thanks Vanessa. At one of your next concerts, the single rose passed up to piano is from me.

  6. J.... ....

    Really?! The only ppl commenting on here, that this is anything but an insult to E.S.’s memory, and true artistry, are some horny gross dudes! Get the fuck outta here, this blows!

  7. N.... D....

    I appreciate the fact that she didn’t do a cookie-cutter cover, but I don’t dig it.

  8. J.... D....

    Me encanta que haces tu propio género, y me deleito con tu música, que grato encontrarme con esto...

  9. a.... ....

    this is a perfect turned-down complement to Bad Astronaut's hard rocking cover of this song.

  10. O.... ....

    Its three lazy vocals layed over themselves like that would make a melody. Why. You obviously have someone backing you because I heard this shit as a commercial on spotify. It sounds terrible. It sounds really bad. Very lazy and muddy. Doesn't sound like singing at all.

  11. O.... ....

    Did one of your handlers ask you to cover this song? You obviously haven't heard the original. Delete this.

    O.... ....

    Delete yourself man, one disapproving comment is enough, good lord. Go do something

    O.... ....

    yeah delete yourself plz

  12. O.... ....

    I can't give opinions of how to make this better because it's very tone deaf and this girl can't be convinced that she's just not a good singer

    O.... ....

    your comments are not even credible.

  13. O.... ....

    I literally can't play this it's jarring. I heard an ad for this on spotify. Elliot Smith would kill himself again in a worse way if he heard this. It's very bad.

  14. O.... ....

    Who told you this was good.

  15. O.... ....

    Wow this sucks

  16. t.... X....

    Vanessa is a true artist

  17. K.... 2....

    This is AMAZING, I LOVE THE OA And Vannessa


    BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

  18. L.... P....

    I feel like this cover was meant for Demi Lovato :( my heart goes out to her. Thank you for your wonderful version of this song

  19. f.... ....

    Amazing 😻😻😻❤️

  20. W.... A....

    I really like this, but I love the original more. Will there be original songs with the same feel released soon?

  21. L.... ....

    *NICE!*

  22. T.... ....

    hello love *

  23. L.... B....

    Could you take a moment to check out my bestfriends channel, she needs a huge confidence boost! Let’s blow up her video! Thanks, have a great day☺️🌷https://youtu.be/zayMqyh_Maw

  24. J.... L....

    Wow, a Needle in the Hay cover by Vanessa Carlton in 2018. Who would've knew I'd stumble on to this

    J.... L....

    I know, I fell down a rabbit hole tonight too. So weird we did the same thing

  25. E.... M....

    i love vanessa

  26. E.... W....

    No fim dos 6 covers espero que seja anunciado um album cover com umas 12 faixas e lançar em cd vinnyl e digital e colocar (i'll wait for you) como faixa escondida e mais (young heart) que ficou fora do liberman coloque tudo no album de covers

  27. S.... J....

    Awesome

  28. M.... ....

    Garbage, wtf. Go back to a blues-y sound. Not this monotone crap

  29. T.... S....

    Just because it's high art, it does make it good art.

    T.... S....

    listen to the original its not this weird trippy shit

    T.... S....

    You're right.

  30. J.... F....

    Vanessa.. Sign me to dinner time records, girl.

  31. F.... M....

    Love it!

  32. 4.... ....

    absolutely love this Nessa!

    4.... ....

    Que intimidade é essa?

  33. C.... B....

    Due to limited insight, I have no idea what this song is about. My acumen is paltry.

    C.... B....

    Colin Butts drugs, obviously

    C.... B....

    Herzelied Stein No, it isn't. Elliott hadn't indulged in drugs at the time this album was written (unless you include alcohol, but there's nothing that points toward this song being about that)

    C.... B....

    heroin. nothing else

    C.... B....

    Okay, and this isn't about heroin because Ellott hadn't used heroin at the time the song was written.

    C.... B....

    @NotTheSun he still probably was able to understand the perspective of a junkie as a storyteller? its not that much of a secret ya know.

  34. F.... H....

    Lots of love and respect for you Vanessa, from an old but still young follower of you!💗

  35. A.... B....

    Thanks I love it

  36. C.... R....

    Great song, singing and production.

  37. a.... ....

    We love it when you do the spooky ethereal trippy stuff.

    a.... ....

    aakar88 Exactly My Thought

    a.... ....

    What are some other spooky ethereal songs she did? This one reminded me of The Dum Dum Girls.

    a.... ....

    One of my faves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAEQILJ3Xd0

    a.... ....

    And this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXeRscJapaE&index=6&list=RDU9EsrgKxBew

  38. H.... S....

    I miss you.
