Cramps, The - Primitive Lyrics






What I don't know
Can never hurt me
I live a life
That's working for me
What I respect
You just can't see
What you expect
I'll never be

Primitive
That's how I live
Primitive
I take what you give
'Cause I love and I live
Primitive

The things I do
You'd never try
What I get free
You have to buy
I'm proud of my life
But don't ask me why
'Cause if I told ya,
I'd probably...

Primitive
That's how I live
Primitive
I take what you give
'Cause I love and I live
Primitive

Primitive
That's how I live
Primitive
I take what you give
'Cause I love and I live
Primitive

    Hun. Very VERY good.

    i.... ....

    Superb.

  31. S.... C....

    Which is taken from Cool Drink of Water Blues. You can't accuse plagiarism in blues and rock and roll, man, that's missing the point

    S.... C....

    Actually in rock you can
    In blues however that's true

  32. J.... E....

    As much as I like the cramps, the main riff is from Howlin Wolfs "Smoke Stack Lightnin". look it up.

    J.... E....

    The original song was done by The Groupies in the 60's..... LOOK IT UP.

    J.... E....

    True, but that, in turn, is a musical cover of Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightning." Hubert Sumner's guitar lick is a distinctive as any in the rock and roll era.

    J.... E....

    Kinda sounds like Suzie Q to me

    J.... E....

    @я Hajji 분쇄하는 Bárbara howlin wolf was 53'

    J.... E....

    @Jon Yeaya same riff

  33. S.... V....

    every song is a perfect trippin balls song

  34. U.... ....

    Perfect trippin balls song too

  35. m.... ....

    10 RPM Rockabilly

  36. G.... ....

    This track says what the Cramps are about in 3 minutes. It's perfect! And it's even a cover song.

  37. A.... M....

    perfect strip tease song, love ya lux. Ivy still hittin them chords like a queen.

  38. T.... ....

    Oh fuck, I had no idea that The Cramps covered a Groupies song. My mind is destroyed.

    T.... ....

  39. B.... L....

    What i don't know can never hurt me i live a life that's working for me what
    I respect you just can't see what you expect.

  47. d.... v....

    boning music

  48. U.... ....

    i saw 2 cramps videos on here with Bettie page dancing one was How far can to far go and i cant remember the other it may have been Queen of Pain.

  49. k.... ....

    Wasn't there another YouTube vid that had this song playing with bettie page dancing in it? Or is there another artist that sings this song too?

  50. S.... ....

    Yo elvis,it's originally from Howlin' Wolf

  51. d.... ....

    Great cover of the The Groupies.

  52. T.... P....

    amazing. The Cramps have shown me what alive really means

  53. B.... G....

    am I the only one who feels like the riff is the same than in the guitar solo in creedence's suzy q ?
    by the way, assome song

    B.... G....

    Basile Gueneau no its the same as smokestack lightning by howling wolf

  54. m.... h....

    @kundalinidancer8 this is dick dale style.so is scotts,all good

  55. s.... ....

    yep the wolf howls on he had a great knowledge of the blues

  56. m.... ....

    @kundalinidancer8

    Smokestack lightning and The Last Of The Old Fashioned Steam Powered Trains (by the kinks)

  57. k.... ....

    Guitar rift reminds me of Southern Culture on the Skids

  58. I.... F....

    @MmeLEnfer I'd just listend to that one ( found it here among the suggestions ),.. didn't find it nearly as well done as this version.

  59. T.... ....
