Story behind the song

Motivated by my desire to just write something powerful and not too complicated, this song came together in bits and pieces over a two-week period in September 2002. With an opening riff that's probably stolen from something else, and suitably lusty words, I think I achieved my aim. Instrumentation is purposely kept to a minimum, with a guitar or two, booming bass and drums, and a bit of organ here and there in the background.

Lyrics

You got that something, something I need
You got that something, something indeed
You got that something, I’m dreaming about
The way you shake it, leaves no room for doubt
I look into your eyes
It comes as no surprise
That way salvation lies -

You got that something, something I need
You got that something, something indeed
You got that something, I’m wanting to score
When I recover, then I’ll want it some more
Reflecting in my mind
The perfect face designed
It’s you I’ve come to find -

How can we make it work out?
Don’t want to let you go
What’s the answer with the lights out?
That’s what I want to know

Let’s find a place that’s quiet
I’ll check out every zone
End up sounding like a riot
Just you and me alone

You got that something, something I need
You got that something, something indeed
You got that something, I need it so bad
Call me your junkie, cause it’s driving me mad
I got you on the brain
In every cell and vein
I’m going half insane -
