About Sulk

One of Thom's earliest creations, this song was inspired by a ruthless and unexplained killing spree conducted by a lone gunman in Hungerford, England, in 1987. Although its original concluding lyrics were "just shoot your gun," these were changed when the song was recorded in late 1994. This was because the death of Kurt Cobain was still weighing heavily on people's minds while the Hungerford killings were not; Thom chose to change the lyrics so that no one would think the song was about the late NIrvana leader. .

Sulk Lyrics

[00:21.77] You bite through the big wall, the big wall bites back
[00:28.73] You just sit there and sulk, sit there and bawl
[00:36.18] You are so pretty when you're on your knees
[00:43.71] Disinfected and eager to please
[00:54.64] Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
[01:02.02] God rest your soul
[01:06.31] When the loving comes and we've already gone
[01:13.37] Just like your dad, you'll never change
[01:21.68]
[01:31.86] Each time it comes, it eats me alive
[01:39.05] I try to behave but it eats me alive
[01:46.71] So I declare a holiday
[01:54.07] Fall asleep, drift away
[02:04.92] Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
[02:12.59] God rest your soul
[02:16.64] When the loving comes and we've already gone
[02:23.72] Just like your dad, you'll never change
[02:32.38]
[03:04.57] Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
[03:11.99] God rest your soul
[03:15.90] When the loving comes and we've already gone
[03:23.11] Just like your dad, you'll never change
[03:28.98]
