In the morning, I am a recluse, lost in memories
Ideal situations and convulsions
I'm never in and I can't remember
They built portholes for Bono
So he could gaze out across the bay
And sing about mountains, maybe
You are what you own in this land
You can be King and it all depends on the view and what you can see
And around here, nobody tells me what to do anymore

We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else

Why say words that I do not mean
They'll only serve to amuse, ridicule and destroy
Hardly ever to teach
I hit you for the first time today
I didn't mean it
It just happened
You wouldn't let me go to the phone
You wanted to make love and I did not
Now I know the distance between us
Christ, we weren't even fighting
I was just annoyed
Silence and you started to cry
"That really hurt," you said
Yeah, and you thought you knew me

We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
Just you and me
Just you and me

Consider this as the wine takes hold
And sinks into your veins
I try to force it but it's not there
Love gives you comfort
And comfort makes you dim
She's in the kitchen putting beads in her hair

It all came out tonight
The queen of drugs broke down and cried
'Cause she'd been shagging her best friend's guy
She knew the form, she knew the lie
She wasn't shy and she refused to try
That's why I'm gazing out of portholes
And I'm wondering why

We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
We don't need nobody else
We don't need nobody else
Just you and me
Just you and me
Just you and me

Sample comments about this video

"Heartworm is one of the finest Irish albums ever. What a band."

"Loving so many positive comments and love for this song and the band. A phenomenal band with incredible songs. Lucky to have seen them live many times. Heartworm is still one of the greatest irish rock albums ever"

"Love the way Bono's pompous condescending hypocrisy gets highlighted in this track. I used to listen to Heartworm endlessly on cassette when finishing architecture school in Bolton St back in '96. Bloody marvellous. Thanks for the memories."

"A short lived but legendary band. This Jools session was my original introduction to them."

"Whipping Boy should have been huge! Saw them play once when Heartworm was released. One of the most intense shows ive seen. Brilliant fucking band."

"Played support to them a couple of times with my little band back in the day. Great songwriters and good blokes."

"Rockgarden 1993. Great memories when they came up the road from Kilkenny. Fergal and Mylie were always good for a chat. Great to see this recording pop up on youtube"

"Wow, this is class. You’d see where Fontaine’s might have taken some inspiration 🙂"

"Far out. Have no recollection of this at the the time, yet it sounds like it could be relased this year 2026. What a great track."

"How on god’s green earth am I 52, a music lover since birth (ta mom & dad!) and I’m just now hearing of this band? My god, I’ve been done dirty by my own oversight. This is so my kind of band."
