Mean Hearted Woman

Recorded in June 1970 at the Fillmore North (Sunderland Top Rank Suite) with guests Free, Kevin Ayers and Yellow. This was the first time we'd worked with Free and it was really exciting for us since we were already huge fans of theirs. Kevin Ayers was also another hero of ours from his earlier days as a leading light in the 'psychedelic movement' of the late 1960's with the legendary Soft Machine. Yellow were a local band from the North East of England. We had great respect for the lads in Yellow. We thought they were a fantastic band and felt that they were destined for greater things.

Mean Hearted Woman is a very early Juice song, but we think it still sounds amazingly fresh. It's hard to imagine that all these songs are over 40 years old. Even harder to imagine that back then we were young 20 year olds trying to make a name for ourselves in the music business, never dreaming that we'd be looking back all these years later, continuing the tradition and still enjoying now what we were doing then.

 

You know you drive me crazy 

The way you carry on 

You tell me that I'm lazy 

You treat me like a dog 

You never give me nothing 

You never show me love 

But when it comes to trouble 

You just can't get enough 

You're a mean hearted woman 

I'm only doing the best I can 

You're a mean hearted woman 

You need a cold blooded man
