Musicbrainz DBTo pretend no one can find
The fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
Courtesies that I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now
Cause nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Covered by the blind belief
That fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows no need to lie, enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now
Cause nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Who am I, what and why
Cause all I have left is my memories of yesterday
Ohh these sour times
Cause nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
After time, the bitter taste
Of innocence, descent or race
Scattered seeds, buried lives
Mysteries of our disguise revolve
Circumstance will decide
Cause nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you
Nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do

| Poacher (Brighton, UK) | Posted: Aug 17, 2011 - 07:18 Was released in 1994. 1994? No - can't be! It was only a couple of years ago surely? |
| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: Aug 17, 2011 - 07:18 What a classic album!  |
| piñata (ibagué) | Posted: Aug 12, 2011 - 12:35 todo este álbum de Portishead es lo máximo y esta canción es espectacular! |

| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Jul 07, 2011 - 17:55 This one is a 10  And what a terrific segue today from this to Travis - Re-Offender |
| aquadonia (Green Bay, WI) | Posted: Jul 04, 2011 - 15:04 How on earth could I have had this on just a 6?! It's at least an 8! |

| htowncoog (Texas) | Posted: May 05, 2011 - 12:27 This arrangement, along with the production is just slightly creative...almost genius. 9+ |

I have always LOVED this song since it came out, but hearing it paired with RJD2 is double the pleasure! We did not get Massive Attack with it today.... |

But I'm sure somebody will straighten me out on that I have to agree. They have a unique sound and style. Very original. This whole album is brilliant. One of the best of the late 20th Century. |
| Scott_Alic (Toronto) | Posted: Apr 20, 2010 - 07:28 Timeless. By the way, the sample here is, in fact from Lalo Schifrin's score for the American TV series "Mission: Impossible" (1966-73). The track called "Danube Incident" — excellent, moody track — when the sampled bit comes in at the end, it's like WHA?! (More Wiki goodness: The jangly sample in "Sour Times" is a cimbalom, a form of hammered dulcimer from Central and Eastern Europe.)

| Lonestar (Probably Above You) | Posted: Feb 02, 2009 - 13:11 I'm sick of this group and the perpetually optimistic, sugary sweet, upbeat songs. It's winter and there's a recession, get depressed already! |
