I made a point of using the song “When I Am Through With You” by The VLA for my Song Lyric of the Day yesterday since I was writing about summer TV, and it’s the theme song for Damages on FX. After a long Google search, I kept coming up empty and could only find a couple of lines. So what to do? Go directly to the source: I sent an email via MySpace to the band, and they were awesome enough to reply with the lyrics. So here they are, exactly as they were sent to me:
“When I am Through With You.”
Lyrics by Jason Rabe
Music by Jason Rabe and Ravi Subramanian
Little lamb, smile!
When I am through with you
There won’t be anything left
Oh come back now where did you go?
no need to cower don’t know
if i can even turn your light on
hello daisy, is that you hiding in the grass?
I’ve come to pluck you, To pluck you right in half.
When I am through with you
There won’t be anything left
I come to the city alone i packed up my life and my
home
’cause i feel like a body at rest is a life in hell
so unpack my bags unpack my bags
kiss her on the mouth and she says
“smile little lamb”
When I am through with you
There won’t be anything left
Be sure to pop by The VLA’s MySpace page, where you can listen to this and some more of their songs.

Thank you for the song! Been looking for this song like crazy. The VLA is very different and have a unique sound to them and that’s why they make this song so awesome!
Thanks for the VLA link. Great song lyrics a little lame but love the chorus and music. A first I thought it was Mark Knoefler co-founder of Dire Straits.Thanks again.
Awesome song (If i could be assed signing up for myspace I'd tell the band that as well lol). Thanks a bunch for sharing it :))
Wow, thank you very much! I agree with the previous commentator about the unique sound. Me being a drummer, I especially like the sound of the snare drum. And I think it is really cool that you received a feedback from The VLA directly. It is nice living in the 21st century 😉
Hey there! This page seems to be the source for all the lyrics sites on the internet that have posted the lyrics. Thought you should know that these lyrics went with the pre-release version of the song; the final release, which is the one on iTunes, has rather different lyrics. I have had these checked and corrected by Jason too, so I thought your readers might like them too!
Little lamb, smile!
When I am through with you,
There won't be anything left.
When I am through with you,
There won't be anything left.
When I am through with you,
There won't be anything left.
When I am through with you.
Dead to me,
Are all the possibilities,
That I could ever be,
Alone in the frame.
When I am through with you,
There won't be anything left.
When I am through with you,
There won't be anything left.
When I am through with you,
There won't be anything left.
When I am through with you,
With you…
With you…
It doesn't mean,
You should stay who you are anyways.
It's either you or it's just the shadow of the one you love.
"O.U.T" is a phonetic combination.
Yeah, it's phonetic combination.
When I am through with you,
There won't be anything left.
When I am through with you,
There won't be anything left.
When I am through with you,
There won't be anything left.
When I am through with you.
