Temperance Movement, The - Only Friend Lyrics

best scottish band in ages

The drummer was in Busted yeah

oooo please please tour to canada someday! :)

When I heared Temperance Movement for the first time, I thought they sound like Free. Pretty good band

Trouble don't live here no more, they told me that he cut himself loose.
Mama says he never coming back, he's out there killin' the blues, yeah.
Told me once that he never could sleep, had the same dream every night.
Saw the face of the woman he loved, but she never looked into his eyes

Trouble never stayed in no jail, saw a hole in the fence and he ran.
Bloodhounds on his scent for days, but they never found nothin', they never found nothin'.
Word spread about his evil ways, and people spoke about him like he was dead.
Reverend Jones took my Mama aside, pray God they put a bullet in the poor boys' head

Lord, when the Lord has left me
Oh all of my trouble
Oh all of my trouble
Oh all of my trouble
Trouble was my only friend.

Trouble was a praying man, I would see him down there on his knees.
White knuckles on a shaking fist, crying up to the lord to be free, yeah
Then one time I saw that freedom come, when he lifted me out of my chair.
He said "Little boy you made your daddy a man, 
Now listen I ain't going anywhere (no no)"

Lord, when the lord has left me
Oh all of my trouble
Oh all of my trouble
Oh all of my trouble
Trouble was my only friend

Trouble was a force of life, when he showed me how to walk on this earth.
Said "Always look with a loving eye, but don't you ever forget your own worth (son)"
And when I asked him if he ever did see that dark-haired beauty of his dreams,
He said "Son I feel in every single beat of my heart, 
One day she's gonna look at me (yes she will)"

Lord, when the lord has left me
Lord, when the lord has left me
Oh all of my trouble
Oh all of my trouble
Oh all of my trouble
Trouble was my only friend

Oh all of my trouble
Oh all of my trouble
Oh all of my trouble
Trouble was my only friend

This song has "sons of anarchy" painted all over it

When this album came out it was like a breath of fresh air!

This is like the acdc that i never got..

Fantastisk låt

Stunning band can't wait to see them live!!! Go boys !!!!

great sound and a amazing singer...my next CD :D

Klasse Song, gleich mal bei @Spotify hinzugefügt :-)

Lenny Kravitz meets Burt Cummings

Phil Campbell, lead singer has been around for more than 15 years.  Anyway, look up Phil Campbell here on You Tube (not the Phil Campbell of Motorhorhead) and you'll discover another side of him.   Formerly a soloist and formerly with White Buffalo.  You might find some older White Buffalo out there with him too.  Beautiful voice.  

bring on november can not wait to see them live

Went to the Rolling Stones concert yesterday and "The Temperance Movement" was the starting support band. They're the est support band I've ever heard at concert and I knew I had to search them when I got home from the concert.

Saw them at Download yesterday - pretty sick!!

Create!!

instantly heard ac/dc from the vocals at first

great blues

dang this band rocks x

Hard to believe the bassist was in Jamiroquai! Fabulous stuff.. I believe the singer is from Glasgow, continuing a fine heritage of gravel voiced Scottish vocalists..

The voice is damn awesome!

I bet skrillex was the only one who voted negative for this kickass song ^^

Kinda like if Eddie Vedder were the vocalist of AC/DC.

Loving this and I go way back to early Zep, Purple and Bad Co days, lucky to see them all live too in the mid 70's.  These guys rock, the sound is raw, simple and full of energy, just the way rock should be, no pretentious angle!  Have got to see them live!

wow, this at the most perfect recreation of classic 70's rock I've heard. There's a lot of retro bands that go for that psychedelia smothered acid rock sound, or fuzzy late 60's production, but this its the first time I've heard a band go for this kind of sound in ages. 

+Alexander Simmons 70's classic rock,you just cannot lose.the 70's rock Gods were influenced by the blues greats,why should'nt todays rockers be inspired by the daddies of rock music? and of course,its British, continuing our supreme status.

its fuckin scottish mate

I get you, Alexander. It's clean.

Which is in Britain mate!

can order it via their website, I just did

I'm REALLY enjoying this band.
When will it be available in the U.S.???
As soon as Amazon has it I will be ordering it!!!

the first new band i have been exited about in many years...straight up balls out rock!

I heard this song for the first time yesterday, and ended up buying the album because of it. These guys are AMAZING.

Has this been released in the United States? I tried finding the CD on Sep 13 and the store had no listing for it.
