It's a hot and sticky night in the Bay Area, you're listening to Riviera FM and this is Metronomy: She Wants..

She sleeps her soul
So soft and trim
Arranging papers
Around the bed
And if she's dreaming deep tonight
I lie with her by reading light
A glass of water by her side
I'm gone in hopes of getting tired

I call her shots
'Til you wake up
Count every second
On every clock
It's getting late
Yeah that I know
The hours come
The hours go

Then twitching lips
And twitching arms
And there you're lying
Your make up on them
Oh, Girl if you're dreaming deep tonight
I'll lie with you by reading light
A glass of water by your side
I'm gone in hopes of getting tired

I call her shots
Till you wake up
Count every second
On every clock
It's getting late
Yeah that I know
The hours come
The hours go

I call her shots
Till you wake up
Count every second
On every clock
It's getting late
Yeah that I know
The hours come

The hours come
The hours come
The hours come
The hours come

The hours come
The hours come
The hours come
The hours come

The hours come
The hours come
The hours come
The hours come

The hours come
The hours come
The hours come
The hours come

The hours come

    My Interpretation:It's titled she wants because the "she" is a little ho or maybe his girlfriend hes annoyed with and in this song she is trying to seduce the singer. She is really drunk and he's down but she just over did it, and he knows it would be wrong, and he's not down for date rape. So he's asserting his authority by rejecting her advances and taking care of her drunk ass, and letting her sleep in his bed, but he's staying up 'by reading light' as in he's not touching her at all, but he has left her water and is just waiting for her to wake up so she can either leave or they can do it fo realize. But for now he's given up hope of 'getting tired' as in having sex for tonight. Just saying.

    My Opinion:kinda sounds like he's talking about date rape, but I assume not because who just writes a song about date raping someone

    Lyric Correction:She sleeps so soft
    So soft I tread
    Arranging papers
    Around the bed
    And if she's dreaming deep tonight
    I'll lie with her by reading light
    A glass of water by her side
    And gone are hopes of getting tired

    I'll call the shots
    'till you wake up
    Count every second
    On every clock
    It's getting late
    Yeah that I know
    The hours come
    The hours go

    Then twitching lips
    And twitching arms
    And there you're lying
    Your make up on
    And girl if you're dreaming deep tonight
    I'll lie with you by reading light
    A glass of water by your side
    And gone are hopes of getting tired

    I'll call the shots
    'till you wake up
    Count every second
    On every clock
    It's getting late
    Yeah that I know
    The hours come
    The hours go

    I'll call the shots
    'till you wake up
    Count every second
    On every clock
    It's getting late
    Yeah that I know
    The hours come
    The hours come

    The hours come (x 16)
