| Julian Casablancas – Tourist Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
OFFICIAL LYRICS (www.juliancasablancas.com) I wish that clouds could hold me up like I thought as a child growing up I wish I could sound as soothing as the rainfall But I am only a drop from the storm. I feel like a tourist out in the country Once this whole world was all countryside Feel like a tourist in the big city Soon I will simply evaporate ...They took the strings up north, the drums down south After they crossed Afghanistan a long time ago You're shuffling your feet into the next dimension Soon skyscrapers will be everywhere I feel like a tourist lost in the suburbs Soon the whole world will be urban sprawl Feel like a land lover out on the ocean Feel like a teardrop streaming off your chin Some will bet against you, try even to prevent you But not many can stop you man, if you got a perfect plan Can they possibly try - I demand to know why they would doubt you? In this hand, a thousand generations... Feel like a tourist out in the desert. So hot it feels like the Devil's breath Feel like a tourist out in the swampland This world is just patches of water and land Everywhere I go I'm a tourist, But if you stay with me, I'll always be at home |

| Julian Casablancas – Glass Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
OFFICIAL LYRICS (www.juliancasablancas.com) I don't believe it, I won't believe it I'm not sad; I understand that's how it goes Take it easy, there's no time to be mad That's their job, blood on their teeth, death on their mind Pretty baby, please just get out of the way - where it's safe Eyes will follow you, weapons can't break through Tears will swallow you, they all can see right through... Bulletproof glass You won't have any trouble now But who knows... Please don't deceive me, I'm just so easily fooled But there's some things they do not want the answers to Don't want to bring all that up, but they keep leaving it out What to do? We'll just let it be until they all need... Bulletproof glass You won't have any trouble now But who knows... If you want to know somebody, might take a quick look at their best friends Diamonds are hers / a dog is his You can lie to yourself, but don't lie to me It's what they want: Dominance and loyalty / romance and security Just stay behind... Bulletproof glass |

| Julian Casablancas – River of Brakelights Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
OFFICIAL LYRICS (www.juliancasablancas.com) We might be in for a late night Stuck in a lava flow of brake lights I can hear a rattling bass drum driving back to where it came from Sit back... I shop therefore I am the cause, protect me from what I was Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it Timing is everything, timing is everything, timing is everything, timing is everything Timing is everything, timing is everything... I'm at your feet, where critters meet Who should be asleep and not crossing roads or highways In the afterlife of super cities, rapidly devouring its outskirts It's neon octopus arms redecorating late at night Robot camp for kids who hate sports Mothers crying at the airport Finding the dreams you left behind to do, waving goodbye your young heart cries for you Sit back... You're finding it hard to get very far But we were born waiting in line Grabbing the future by the eyes Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it - timing is everything, timing is everything Getting the hang of it - timing is everything - getting the hang of it - timing is everything TIMING THE HANG OF IT - GETTING IS EVERYTHING - GETTING THE TIMING OF EVERYTHING HANGING IS HANGING THE GETTING OF TIMING THE EVERYTHING... Like batteries we die, like rivers we dry We fuel and recharge, that's humans and cars My fun, my sun, be my homework done Where did you go, you were my ride home Is that what we want, is everything shot, is that what you ask for, 'cause that's what we got? Nothing stands still. |

| Julian Casablancas – Ludlow St. Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
OFFICIAL LYRICS (www.juliancasablancas.com) Everything seems to go wrong when I stop drinking Everything seemed to go my way last night Everything seems so wrong to me this morning. I know things will be brighter later tonight... On Ludlow Street, Chinatown's coming On Ludlow Street, Puerto Ricans are running On Ludlow Street, soon musicians will haunt it On Ludlow Street, where Indians once hunted And it's hard to just move along While I surrendered my ego you fed yours All my fantasies died when you said yours I have dangled my pride to forget yours Will my mind be at ease when you get yours? We'll find out soon enough. It started back in 1624 The Lenape tribes would soon get forced from their home Soon we'll all get pushed out -- now as soon as I get sober I remember why I drank it all away ...On Ludlow Street! Nauseous regrets are calling me on the phone My shoes they seem to be my only home The only thing to last will be my bones Oh, tonight you'll hear the animals next door to you moan On Ludlow Street, faces are changing On Ludlow Street,yuppies invading On Ludlow Street, nightlife is raging On Ludlow Street, history's fading And it's hard to just move along... While I surrendered my ego you fed yours All my fantasies died when you said yours I have dangled my pride to forget yours Will my mind be at ease when you get yours? We'll find out soon enough... While they defended their ego you fed yours All their fantasies died when you said yours They have dangled their pride to forget yours Will their souls be at ease when you get yours? We'll find out soon enough. I'll find out soon enough. |

| Julian Casablancas – 4 Chords of the Apocalypse Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
OFFICIAL LYRICS (www.juliancasablancas.com) I hear it in your silence, when you don't speak What was funny then, isn't funny anymore I can hear it in your voice, there's always a catch We're going nowhere, and we're going there fast Anything to watch while we are waiting for this Apocalypse. What more is there to do? It's nice to be important, but so close to being despised It's more important to be nice, I guess, than being wise I'll take your shoppin', I'll takin you dancing too I'll take you out, all the thing you want to do I'll give you diamonds, and I'll you space So be with anyone you want, it's alright with me Our time is over Don't you know that if a time-warp was open I'd stay right in my place That war is over I hear it in your silence, when you don't speak There is a quiet crying rage, burning inside you so deep I'll give you anything, but I'll give you problems So be with anyone you want, it's alright with me I hear it in your voice, can see it in your lips There's always a catch... I guess that's alright with me No one's around, but the map says "you are here" Now I can hear loneliness screaming in my ear Our time is over Don't you know that if a time-warp was open I'd stay right in my place The war ain't over yet This war ain't over yet... Being nice is only hard when others aren't Our time is over |

| Julian Casablancas – 11th Dimension Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
OFFICIAL LYRICS (www.juliancasablancas.com) I'll just nod, I've never been so good at shaking hands I live on the frozen surface of a fireball. Where cities come together to hate each other in the name of sport. America, nothing is ever just anything. I looked up to you, but you thought I would look the other way And you hear what you want to hear. And they take what they want to take... Don't be sad, won't ever happen like this anymore. So when's it coming, this last new great movement that I can join? It won't end here, your faith has got to be greater than your fear Forgive them, even if they are not sorry. All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting. You are looking for your own voice but in others. While it hears you, trapped in another dimension Drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all of the time. I've got a mind full on blanks, I need to go somewhere new fast. ...And don't be shy, at least deliberately, 'cause no one really cares or wonders why anymore Oh, I've got music coming out of my hands and feet and kisses... This is how it once was done All the dreamers on the run Forgive them, even if they are not sorry. All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting. We're so quick to point out our own flaws in others. Complicated mammals on the wings of robots If you believe in this world then no one has died in vain But don't you dare get to the top and not know what to do |

| Julian Casablancas – Left Right In The Dark Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
OFFICIAL LYRICS (www.juliancasablancas.com) I'm running in the parking lot, I'm four years old I am lost, those were the days. The soft murmur of voices in the other room Comforting you as you fall asleep Staring at the mother-daughter clones go by We're in a race against time, and time might be winning ...And it's not gonna take all day long Watchin the urban decay all around us, oh boy And I'm on my way... oh, somewhere Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark How long must we wait, how long must this take Wake up, wake up... I'm ashamed I think maybe sometimes I might have used tricks to make you like me more. When I found you I was running wild. "Let's get out of here" Was in trouble there I want to know, what are you thinking... 'Cause I think I think it too Sliding across the Indian wilderness like the wind gliding down soft roads. 6am now you're in Hollywood You're dancing - we made it. We are turning with the earth so fast but it feels a lot slower ...And it's not gonna take all day long Watchin the urban decay all around us, oh boy And I'm on my way... oh, somewhere Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark How long will it take to fix what they break Wake up, wake up... Your Achilles heel is you like to feel your fingers on the wheel. Some live in a palace, some live in the sewer. The director, the actor, the crew and the viewer Boys got their toys and girls got their dolls And nothing much else changes through the final stages. How you're spending the day is the same as your life. And you're watching the time running away Wait up, wait up Wake up, wake up... WAKE UP. |

I'm so in love with this song at the moment. It's incredibly beautiful. I love the chorus, Julian's voice and the way the song evolves... Pure beauty! And towards the end, when he screams out the lyrics... *sigh* Love him! Oh, there's a mistake: it should say "It's NICE to be important" |

| The Killers – Goodnight, Travel Well Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Wow, this song is the best of Day & Age. It's amazing how well it describes the loss of someone. Not only the lyrics, just the slowness of the vocals, the drunk instruments, his voice trembling. It's beautiful. I love the lines: It's quiet now The universe is standing still And there's nothing I can say There's nothing we can do now Because that's just the way you feel when someone leaves, be it physical (as in death) or someone leaving you behind for a trip or journey. Suddenly everything is quiet! The universe stops! That's just what happens! After a while is when you realize that the world doesn't really stop for your grief, and that you MUST keep going. But before that you really feel as if everything suddenly stopped, and there's nothing you can really do or say... I love the "Everything you left me rambles in my head" This song saves Day & Age I must say... It's beautiful. I love its slowness in the begining, it shows as if he's really trying to figure out things |

| The Strokes – Hawaii Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song can lift anyone's spirit up. If you had a bad day, if you are sad, deppressed, lonely, whatever... it works either way. Just listen to this song and you will "see the world as your favorite place". I promise. "Still my favorite place in this whole wide world has got to be in the middle of the ocean's floor" |

| The Strokes – Fear of Sleep Lyrics | 15 years ago |

BEST SONG OFF FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF EARTH! |
|
| The Strokes – Barely Legal Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This is probably my favorite song by the Strokes, since I 1º heard it I was blown away by it. I love the drums, that little thing they do after every single line. THIS SONG IS PERFECTION |
|
| The Strokes – Barely Legal Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| IT ALL WORKS SOMEHOW IN THE END | |
| The Strokes – Automatic Stop Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Then I got a different view... It's you" God, there's always at least ONE line in their songs that blow my mind. This one is it. I think it's about a guy dumping a girl and then regreting it. He realizes he wants her back, but not as a friend, for they never were real friends. |
|
| The Strokes – Ask Me Anything Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Well, sometimes we all got nothing to say, while in utter dismay. | |

THE WORLD IS OVER BUT I DON'T CARE, COS I AM WITH YOU How lovely can a line be?? And I love the way he sings/screams it |
|
| The Strokes – 15 Minutes Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Yeah, the title's definitely about the "15 minutes of fame". He goes: Everybody at the party shouldn't worry if I'm there Everybody at the party shouldn't worry what they wear Cause today they'll talk about us, and tomorrow they won't care -- THIS WHOLE LIFE, IS IT A DREAM? I CAN'T TELL |
|
| The Strokes – 12:51 Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Kiss me now that I'm older"... *sigh* Julian sounds so laid back during the entire song, while the music is so intense! The clapping is great! I love it! |
|
| The Strokes – Electricityscape Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Same here, I love that line and the way he sings it, his voice is so emotional during this song... lovely Julian. I so wish 2 drinks were always in me... The drums in this song are WONDERFUL! Love them love them love them. That offbeat is lovely. Someone here said that he skips this song.. how can anyone skip ANY song by The Strokes??? hahaha That's what I always wonder... it'd be impossible for me to skip any of their songs, they are all so good!!! All of them! There's no 1 single song by them that sucks! Anyway, back to electricityscape, I love the ending so much, that guitar bit is great! |

I love this song as well, and just like whiterain05, I though KOL would never make an outstanding album again, but what can I say? They definitely shut my mouth hahaha I love this album and this is one of the best songs! I love his voice!!! KOL IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
| The Killers – This River Is Wild Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is the BEST songs by The Killers in my opinion, it's soo energic and beautiful! | |
| Peter Bjorn and John – Young Folks Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I FORGOT! The Kooks have done a pretty nice cover of this song! Look it up! It sounds awesome! | |
| Peter Bjorn and John – Young Folks Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Someone pointed out that this song equals "summer", I 100% agree with that... It's got such a happy vibe, I love listening to it when I'm low. My fave line would have to be "No one will surprise me unless you do", it's the sweetest sweetest thing. While my favorite verse is definitely: "I can tell there's something goin' on/ hours seems to disappear/everyone is leaving i'm still with you"... Time flies when you're having a nice chat with a surprising person ^^ |
|
| The Killers – When You Were Young Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I've been reading Bukowski for days... you all should too :) |
|
| Bob Dylan – Mama, You Been on My Mind Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Brilliant! What else can u say about this song? Eveything about it mind blowing... be it the slow version, the up-beat one, any version is perfect! I love the one on Philharmonic Hall, the duet with Joan Baez... but I also ADORE the one from 1975, Rolling Thunder Revue. They are all absolutely brillant. *I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear as someone who has had you on his mind* |
|
| Radiohead – Let Down Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
*ONE DAY I AM GONNA GROW WINGS* That line defines me so well... And it reminds me to that other line, "one day I'll fly away". which I love as well... Wanting to grow wings is wanting to fly away, far away from this useless and wrong world. He wants to grow wings so he can get away from all the disappointment. It's a sad song but also a hopeful one... the way the song evolves gives you that idea. He's sad but hopeful. Lovely song. |
|
| Razorlight – Somewhere Else Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| AMAZING SONG!!! One time I was on the bus, at night, going home after the longest and most tiring day, and this song was playing on my I-POD... What I felt was undescribable. I certainly wanted to be "someplace else" than there... | |
| Razorlight – Fall, Fall, Fall Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think the lyrics go: "And hours of making love in silence" actually, don't they? Yes, the way he describes things which are incomplete is outstanding: Trees without leaves Notes that don't ring Wine left to rot A voice that can't sing LOVELY! You can totally relate to that. One of the best tracks on the album! |
|
| Arctic Monkeys – Despair in the Departure Lounge Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Well, as the meaning of this song is pretty clear I'm just gonna say that I love it soooo much, everything about it is supreme. I never get tired of saying that Alex's ability to describre situations is OUTSTANDING! And I love him for that. I also like the fact that the song is written in 3º person, not 1º, which makes it evern more special. I love it when the singer sings in 3º person but YOU KNOW he's singing about himself. |

| Foo Fighters – Stranger Things Have Happened Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Oh maybe maybe maybe I can share it with you I behave I behave I behave So I can share it with you LOVELY |
|
| Foo Fighters – Stranger Things Have Happened Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is one of the best songs I've ever ever heard. My sister showed it to me a while ago and I was stunned by it. I think it's about losing someone and NEEDING that person back. Asking "what do you want me to be in order to have you back??" I love how he emphasizes "i'm the same, i'm the same, i'm the same" in such a desperate way. Love it! It's such a sad song, but I love it with a passion. You can never get tired of it. And I love playing that riff with my guitar :) And yeah, it's "dear loneliness", not "lonely miss" I absolutely love the this: This feeling that I get This one last cigarette As I lay awake And wait for you to come through the door *sigh* |
|
| Arctic Monkeys – Dancing Shoes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Ooh, and also, Alex's ability to describe situations ASTONISHES me every time!!! | |
| Arctic Monkeys – Dancing Shoes Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I don't like Buena Vista Social Club's version!!! Machera, I don't like the beginning as well!! That's why it took me some time to finally like this song... I used to skip it the minute it began, haha But it's an awesome track. |
|
| Arctic Monkeys – Da Frame 2R Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
bemybaby, you can find it in the Matador single! this song is class! Yeah, it's quite hard singing along to it haha |
|
| Arctic Monkeys – D Is for Dangerous Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
My fave line: "He's nearing the brink but he thinks first/The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene" It sounds like a suicide attempt to me... He's going towards the brink but he doubts... and "the parallel universe" might mean the afterlife, someplace else. I love that little twist when it goes "The parallel... I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU'RE HIS FAVOURITE WORST NIGHTMARE" I looove it, it gets me every time. |
