| Johnny Foreigner – Riff Glitchard (cursed version) Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
The first line is slightly off this is the lyrics they posted with the song on their website. "I like the night flights best with the cabin lights out, the cities below seems as bright as the stars. A tapestry of glow worms in gridlock, i look for the landmarks and try not to let myself work out where you are. I might as well be an organ in your body, the damage i do when i do nothing. i might as well be an organ in your body, i'm tied to your senses, i can feel when your muscles tense." I love how it captures that sense of being connected to someone whilst being far away from the individual. Which I guess they feel a lot of touring around. Its one of my favorites and always in my head. |

| Johnny Foreigner – Jess, You Got Yr Song, So Leave Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
From the comic/Lyric book The boast they pull that you see thru; they only front just to try to get close to you. and all those boys with vacuum hearts, celebrating midnight like slaves to their arts. well, maybe yr jealous you aren't. family fought for country taught; You only learnt to hide yr accent when you speak to them. College towns just know their own; now you can drink, you can kill a malbroro light in lss than 6 drags, i know But tonight yr slow. Never going to be the models that we wanted Never going to sleep with idols we crave. Just throw yr arms around the nights you've lag behind And know that when you sleep, At least you got... this one song Broke yrself for faint routine. Melodrama drags outside and chokes the air from yr chest. All call-me-friends in smoking pens with shaky hands, and only if you promise no to act surprised, to let the moment pass you by like it's not yrs. He's spoken, he's spoken for. Never going to be the models that we wanted Never going to sleep with idols we crave. Just throw yr arms around the nights you've lag behind And know that when you sleep, At least you got... this one song She sleeps with darkness You know her name She sleeps with darkness All the same She sleeps with darkness You know her name She sleeps with darkness All the same I coppied it as it was written however "going to be" in the chorus is pronounced "Gonna be" The difference might be easier for others if they are trying to learn them to sing i guess. Also as mentioned in http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4143931-johnny-foreigner-vs-everything-track-by-track 8. jess, you got yr song, so leave This isn't Jess's song, mind. That was feeling this by Blink 182. Cos no matter how important yr self inflicted drunken OTT social dramas get, they can always wait until after this song comes on stupid loud thru the shit pa at yr local midweek indie club. and even after that, I still don't really want to be dragged into it when I'm outside having a quiet smoke, unless you accept that I'll write a song that basically says, yr lovely but you should probably stop whining. The Dexys horns at the start of the second verse is my proudest moment as a brass arranger, and forgetting about (and having to recreate in melodyne) the chorus harmonies my least. |

Yep the end is So how can love bare to see you, bare to see you go alone? black and blue, this beating heart's got the same blood as your own, as your own. So you, my dear, shouldn't fear what lies below it's just bones And I've been to the darkest place you know it's just bones bones X8 |

| Foals – Alabaster Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
First bits right She's up in the sky She's up in the domes She's up in the sky, up in the dome I knew a girl who came from Villaluz Had a house filled with Religious regret and infinite debt, Heaven's pressure She's a light in the dark She's out the door She's up in the sky, up in the domes Alabaster lover You won't get more We make each other You won't get more (x2) She's up in the sky and the sky is on fire She set the whole neighborhood to life Then the people they'll read out all their names Run away, run away, run away And with the victory the whole world will be ours We will build nothing in it, nothing in it Alabaster lover (you go and get gone) We could make each other (you go and get gone) Alabaster lover (you go and get gone) We made each other (you go and get gone) Alabaster lover We made each other I don't know what to go with "You won't get more" or "you go and get gone" |

| I remember hearing a interview in which they joked it was about having sex with Lady Gaga. Huey Morgan repeated that they said that after playing it on his 6music show. | |
| MGMT – Someone's Missing Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| That makes a lot of sense but that beat at the end makes me also think of a Michael Jackson sound. Perhaps comparing the feeling of realising he is gone to the feeling that there should be someone (he doesn't know who) in the band that isn't. That whole thing did happen whilst they were working on the album I guess. Long shot I know, thought id mention it in case anyone else thought it. | |

Small note there's no anekatips in the second verse its an advert from the site you probably copied them from. That's where I first found the lyrics too. Its: Now look back see how far you've come Will you unravel in the sun Come undone find your place Held up high said from string as well No return to that restless place You've reached it you've found your grace |

| Johnny Foreigner – Choose Yr Side and Shut Up! Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Good work very close Looking at the lyric book there's just a few misheard words. So we scattered pretty Arcs across the cities Turned pockets of doubt Into blankets of hope Now it's hard to stay graceful, Mostly sleeping central, At weekends my weak hands Are shaky at best So yr guilty again (Choose yr side and shut up! Choose yr side and shut up!) Falling apart and walk back to his car, and you're as guilty as him (Choose yr side and shut up! Choose yr side and shut up!) That's a pretty big heart but we're gonna have to break it That's the way it honestly feels We're like, STOP! But you don't stop You just touch up yr makeup You're grinding yr hips to the wheel So they started kissing, Lips of a magician, In weeks they were tired, given Months they were out Now they're kinda settled Somewhere on the coastline You can hardly recall what the rush was about So you're guilty again (Choose yr side and shut up! Choose yr side and shut up!) Falling apart and went back to his car, you're as guilty as him (Choose yr side and shut up! Choose yr side and shut up!) It's a pretty big heart but we're gonna have to break it |

pretty confident I got them right Heard it drop on Steve Lamacq's in new music we trust show. She said she's been a studio squirrel lately she keeps saying its done then changes her mind and is like no i just need to tweak this one line! Steve described it as very tribal compared to dog days was quite primal to which she responded she thouhgt it was quite Balearic dance. with the chellos in there she went on to explain "Iv been doing all this heavy dark stuff and i just wanted somthing to express that sort of joyfull sort of side to the music. but then again once i started doing that the lyrics started getting dark again. and then it became all about like ritual sacrifice and like who is the lamb and who is the knife. And i think it was just all about me about to jump into the limelight and being in the music industry stuff like that. but it is sorta joyful in a way because its all about giving yourself up and letting it go and you start off being a sort of timid rabbit heart and you have to become courageous and become a lion heart" Sorry its jumbled but she does tend to talk that way in interviews |
