I worry me too some times

Think it's the "little boy" part that worries me and the fact you have your eye on a 13 year old girl....albeit for when she turns 18. lol

The world has gone to shit. What is that manly Justin Bieber thing?

Im ashamed for Friday. It's just managed to get itself downgraded as a day of the week.

On a serious note, Alex Turner has written some very good lyrics. Genius, maybe not, but very relevant and witty especially for people of my generation. A certain romance springs to mind. What a song.

A certain romance and from the ritz to the rubble :wub:

Brilliant contemporary album. Lyrically different and intelligent compared to some of the generic indie that gets churned out nowadays.

Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away,

Now it looks as though they're here to stay,

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,

I'm not half the man I used to be,

There's a shadow hanging over me,

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she

Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.

I said,

Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,

Love was such an easy game to play,

Now I need a place to hide away,

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she

Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.

I said,

Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,

Love was such an easy game to play,

Now I need a place to hide away,

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Have you seen the old man

In the closed down market

Kicking up the papers,

with his worn out shoes?

In his eyes you see no pride

Hands held loosely at his side

Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

Chorus: So how can you tell me you're lonely,

and say for you that the sun don't shine,

Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London

I'll show you something to make you change your mind.

Have you seen the old girl

Who walks the streets of London

Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags

She's no time for talking

she just keeps right on walking

Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

Chorus

In the all night cafe

At a quarter past eleven,

Same old man sitting there on his own

Looking at the world

Over the rim of his tea-cup,

each tea lasts an hour,

And he wanders home alone

Chorus

Have you seen the old man

Outside the Seamen's Mission

Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears

In our winter city

The rain cries a little pity

For one more forgotten hero

And a world that doesn't care

not a masterpiece but anyone my age who ever got into all the emo/pop punk/rock that came from the states should know this off by heart...

*bits in bold are sung over the top

Your Lipstick, his collar

Don't bother angel I know exactly what goes on

When everything you'll get is,

everything that you wanted princess

Well which would you prefer?

my finger on the trigger or

me face down down across your floor

me face down down across your floor

me face down down across your floor

just so long as this things loaded..

and will tell you all your friends

you've got your gun to my head?

this all was only wishful thinking

and will tell you all your friends

you've got your gun to my head?

this all was only wishful thinking let's go

Don't bother trying to explain angel,

I know exactly what goes on

when you're on and

how about I'm outside of your window

how about I'm outside of your window

punch it in, keep the details covered

You're such a sucker,

you're such a sucker...

and will tell you all your friends

you've got your gun to my head?

this all was only wishful thinking

this all was only wishful thinking

(the only thing that I regret is that I never let you hold me back)

and will tell you all your friends

you've got your gun to my head?

this all was only wishful thinking

this all was only wishful thinking

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens

A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins

I won't ever ask if you don't ever tell me

I know you well enough to know you never loved me

(why can't I feel any different, anyone other than you)

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens

A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins

I won't ever ask if you don't ever tell me

I know you well enough to know you never loved me

(why can't I feel any different, anyone other than you)

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens

A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins

I won't ever ask if you don't ever tell me

I know you well enough to know

And all of this was all your fault

and all of this..

I stay wrecked and jealous for this,

for this simple reason I

just need to keep you in mind

as something larger than life

I stay wrecked and jealous for this,

for this simple reason I

just need to keep you in mind

as something larger than life

I stay wrecked and jealous for this,

for this simple reason I

just need to keep you in mind

as something larger than life

:wub:

It's definitely the song that defines TBS for me.

Think about 90% of my A2 year group at college knew this word for word lol

Posted

Agreed.

I Love Where you want to be but I don't think it has a stand out song, just a fair few very good ones.

oh and New Again is decent too but not really on the same level as the others for me.
