Hart, Beth - Monkey Back Lyrics
Oh God save me for I am wicked and damned
Oh God show me a better way to the Promised Land
Cause I
I can't take it no
I can't break it no
Don't wanna eat it no more
I cannot hide it
I'm uninvited
I can't fake it no
I can't shake it
I can't take it
I can't shake shake shake shake
Shake that 'ol monkey off my back
Slip through your crack
Gimme my money back
Sit back
Oh God know me I'm just dirty footprints at your door
Oh God hold me from one more trip and liquor store
Cause I
I can't take it no
I can't shake it no
I can't break it no
Don't wanna eat it no more
I cannot hide it
I'm uninvited
I can't fake it no
I can't shake it
I can't take it
I can't shake shake shake shake
Shake that 'ol monkey off my back
Gimme my money back
Slip through your crack
Gimme my money back
Sit back
Gimme my money back
Slip through your crack and get back
I'm not praying for a miracle
Just a little peace of mind
And if what I do is all in vain
As I'm screaming going insane
Still I am not my name
God wouldn't save me
So now it's just me and my rotten friends
The drugs ain't working
No they're just jacking me off again

Hart, Beth Monkey Back Comments
SHE'S STONED AS SHIT!
@BAZ INGA..You're fucked in the head as shit
I just found out about Beth and her incredible
songs. Really, really
original and unforgettable!!!
Love her music. I laughed at her comment about the red light district. I've been there, in Amsterdam. So funny.
Oh Beth. We love you!!!!!
I still remember like it was yesterday when I clicked on yahoo music and doing bits and bobs at home. Songs after songs, then I’ve heard an incredible voice. I said wtf?!? It took a while back in 2003 in small East European country to get hold of her albums, but oh boy! What a joy! Then I moved to the U.K. and saw her live in a small club called Borderline. I was in a front row, literally 2 meters from her. She forgot her lyrics 3 times as she was nervous because Jeff Beck was amongst the crowd. One of the best night ever.
Ascolto
il vento
fischiare
nel vuoto,
la
voce vegetale
le
mie parole;
impantanate
nel fango o
le
pozzanghere indurite,
sparse
del freddo nei boschi.
Ho
finito per addormentarti
a
pochi passi dalla Certosa,
volando, librarsi nel vento
separando
il tuono dai lampi.
vicina
al rumore dei vivi,
dietro
l’angolo.
Perché
l’anima è la lama
che
scava la vita,
nella
morte.
That crowd's rocking it.
She is a total bad ass....
Ahahah super xxx
Yessssssssssss!!!!
whaa elle déménage.. dans la lignee de Janis..
Nice voice but she sounds like she’s under water.
Every day is a lucky day, when I find more Beth. (Better than meth.) And I'll keep listening 'til my last breath!
She totally AWESOME

She is even better now she has kicked H. I understand Joe Bonamassa had helped her to get into recovery. You can see the difference in the more recent YouTube videos and especially the Cruise for the Blues out of Florida, Feb I think it was...
Beth Hart will steal your heart.
Alcohol and Klonopin were her monsters, not Heroin. She said that she tried H once and did not like it. Her boyfriend *now husband* is the reason she entered rehab.
''Now that you're sober, do you look back at your stint in jail and the worst days of your drug use and find any positives that have helped you become who you are now?''
>'' For a while, I had a lot of guilt and shame about that time in my life, but I've worked really hard on my recovery from Heroin and learning about my past and my mental health. Manic Depressive, Bipolar meds help control and I learned about forgiveness and I've reached out to others to make amends. After that period, I also learned about having compassion, for others and for myself. I don't really stay in that negative place anymore. I look at that part of my life and know that I wasn't a bad person, but there was a very ill part of my life. I don't look at it as a bummer, but I do feel grateful about it because it keeps me grounded and makes me proud every day that I don't pick anything up.'' I still have sobriety issues but haven't touched drugs in Ten years thanks mainly to my Husband''.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. I adore this video and performance!!!
AMAZING...
this artist is way above janis in every way
+Doug Raymer my friends turned me on to her, they seen her live many times, the first thing I thought was a way better version than Janis. She played at Kent State with a 400 people venue last year, it was snowing too bad so my buddy and I didn't go, he died a month later, with front row tix for Pittsburgh, she def rocks it out. Beth and him were friends, he was a musician also, she dedicated a set to him in Pittsburgh. I'd need to see her rock it out.
+Doug Raymer way above
+Doug Raymer Well Spoken
Why the Comparison, both very unique, both very different.
