Send "Vice" Ringtone to Cell

Wild is the wind that strips away our sins
Yours is the night, but you don't know where to begin
But I heard you say
You've got a feeling that it's just around the bend
I heard you say
Sometimes you fall into the arms of no-one at all
I mean to say that that's alright
I did what I could!

[Chorus]
Oh, sometimes I run
Yeah, sometimes I fall
L O V E, I'll see you later
L O V E, I'll see you later

Yours is the fire that gets in my head
Mine is desire, so let it burn down your bed
Cause I heard about those stories, yeah
I guess everyone has
I heard them say sometimes you fall
Just on your own with no-one at all
I mean to say that that's alright
I did what I could!

[Chorus: x2]

    General Comment:I don't think that the album is about youth. I don't know why, it just doesn't fit. Razorlight's music is good, but the lyrics aren't exactly ground breaking stuff. As for the meaning of Vice, I thought that it was pretty obvious. The guy can't do commitment, and dumps a girl at the first sign of "love" ("but if it's LOVE I'll see you later"). This is his Vice, thus the title. That is why he say love and must spell it out L-O-V-E in the chorus, and he can't actually say it until the end of the song. Talking of which, the end bit is missed out here so I shall post it for you:
    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,
    Yes I'll see you later
    I'll see you sometime
    I'll see you there
    And you know, you know
    You cannot touch love with a cynical feeling no
    You cannot touch love unless you do believe in
    Oh love love love knows no cynical feeling
    See you later, see you sometime sometime
    It's just like that
    Sometimes you run sometimes you fall
    Sometimes you can sometimes you can't
    Ring that number back it's 07761010233
    Oh ring it off the wall
    Ring it right back
    Ring it right back
    Ring it right back
    Ring it right back
    Oh it's just like

    General Comment:I adore razorlight I think Borrel is a god and the music is amazing, but I don't think they can be compared at all to dylan lyrically thats utter crap...Razorlight make music that makes me want to dance around like a crazy person and I usually don't find much meaning in the lyrics except youth..This album is all about youth I think at the end when Jonny say's 'LOVE I'll cya later' I think hes saying it like speaking like cya later love...I just never see proper meaning in razorlight songs except youth this album breathes being young and having fun its amazing and I assure you when I'm out with my mates any song on here will get us dancing..And when I'm older whenever I hear one song of this album its going to remind me of being in 6th form...Best song of the entire album by the way. Peace xxxx

    General Comment:the thing about bob dylan was that lyrically he was brilliant but he didnt have the voice to carry his songs....other people singing dylan songs is better than dylan singing them himself(Joan Baez for example)........so in ways this album is better than a lot of what dylan did(in a musical sense at least)

    at the same time Johnny Borell has an ego bigger than his big hair............. but so did the beatles and they didnt turn out half bad.....i'd say just forget what borell is saying and just listen to his music

    General Comment:he doesnt always say its about two girls in love at xfms winterwonderland he said it this song is about humphrey bogart. also reffering to charmlessman borrell was comparing is first album to dylans first album and how poeticlaly and lyrically he can right so much better music and poems that dylan could had his age and im afraid i have to agree with him dylan in his early ages just thought of certain word to rhyme with the previous, Borrell however manages to just let it all flow naturally with each and every word and when u see them live u relise that the whole album is bloody insane and u rate each song as good as the last, best live gig in 2005 so far probbaly will not be beaten
