The Lyrics

Pain hurts
Pain scars
Pain wounds
and hard-
ly-y is fun
or cool
or com-
ftabool..
I never will agayn
jump out of a train
won't open champagne
or rewind my bike-chain
Pain hurts
yee-ow, pain hurts

I'm dumb
I know
but e-
ven so
I know a thing
or two
like scream-
ing “ooooo!”
I've really learned a lot
I don't swallow cumquats
It hurts like hell to hold
a saucepan when it's hot
Pain hurts
yee-ow, pain hurts

Some folk can walk on hot coals
shove sharp pencils
up their nose
Some folk can watch day talk shows
coz they're not scared like me

No more stubbing toes
No more food from Joes
Pain has made me scared
just to pick my nose
Pain hurts
yee-ow, pain hurts

Haven't got time for the pain, I see. BTW, I recently found out that the original was recorded by Roy Orbison, before Nazareth.

Try the new analgesic "Paradoxycontin" (SIDE EFFECT: Causes pain in 100% of patients).

I've got a pain in my side from laughing!

thanks AFW, alvin, Steve, K1, Johnny, Jeff and John

Steve: yes, because Jim Capaldi just died (who also covered Love Hurts) I was reading his obituary and discovered the same thing, although I'm sure I've never heard his version :)

As I consider myself something of an afficionado on pain...I will concur that it hurts. =) Brilliant, love!
Stuart McArthur - February 02, 2005 - Report this comment
thankyou, Arwen, we agree:-) - so all those people who say it doesn't hurt can go jump

Even the title...which shouldn't be as funny as it is...got me going. Bravo, Stu! This was like watching "Dodgeball" in print format; loved it! 555

Once again, Stuart McArthur brings us information that we don't know... PAIN HURTS! IDKTOS, sorry. But I thought it was funny.
stuart mcarthur - October 13, 2005 - Report this comment
yup, I'm like an encyclopaedia :-)

(ABC) Ouch!

(ABC) Pain Hurts....duh! : D Good one.
Red Ant - October 14, 2005 - Report this comment
(P) Well, aside from stating the obvious this is good though the version I have on 80s Gold has an extra chorus after the solo, though I don't know if TO version is different.
Johnny D - October 18, 2005 - Report this comment
(ABC) See above!

(ABC) Why does pain make us laugh so much...or is it just me? Bravo for this sterling work, Stu.

(ABC) Heh heh, nice one, Stu. "Some folk can watch day talk shows"- LOL!

(ABC05) I'm very comftabool with giving this parody a 555. This is my kind of humor. It appeals to me especially because there are no big words to stumble over and get hurt.. :-)
stuart mcarthur - October 22, 2005 - Report this comment
thanks Agri and adagio, and Dominic, and Kristof (twice)
Red Ant - I can't remember, but I usually write all mine to the OS playing, so are you sure your version was the Nazareth one, because Jim capaldi and Roy Orbison did it also, and thanks
thanks JD, and Luke
I've suspected for a while that we share a sense of humour, Rick, but to make you comftabool as well - now there's a feather in the cap - thanks!

Excellent, Stu: loved the "Comfortabool" split rhyme - incidentally, you might enjoy this take on the same song: www.amiright.com/parody/70s/nazareth7.shtml (Dove Turds)

ABC--still as true as the sky is blue, Stuart...nice work.

ABC: See above...still excellent, loved reading it again!
