![]() The Colour And The Shape (1997) [ larger cover art ] |
Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two
I'm on your back
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two
I'm on your back
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oh oh ooh
I'm on your back
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

| slimvincent | Posted: Apr 19, 2010 - 16:13 All bands that sell records don't automatically suck and/or don't fit RP. It's not at all unreasonable to believe RP listeners appreciate well done pop/rock and that this is an example of good pop songcraft. |

They spent about half the show doing what looked like "we're gonna show you guys that we're not commercial" songs. Wasn't so convincing. Concert was okay. Lotta foo, though. Which is what they're supposed to be fighting. |

Hey, leave The Offspring out of this, you. They write some of the funniest lyrics anywhere. "L.A.P.D" is great, for instance. I have fond memories of that band. Love DG and FF too. |

This is the X Files soundtrack version, yes. One of the songs I uploaded and got 'sorry' before someone else got credit when it did get added :( I vastly prefer this version over the original. And I think I posted way back when on this one that the album technically is wrong above... |

Yeah! But the aforementioned album version, without the lame marching drums, is sparser and therefore even better. |

| randall07 (Southern California) | Posted: Apr 12, 2007 - 09:42 Even though dave seems to be impressed with himself; I'm not that impressed. I've always considered the songwriting to be weak. Outstanding drummer, though. |

after all, the title is "walking after you" not "sadness here without you." matter of fact.... I frankly find this song incredibly encouraging as well as beautiful. I think its about working to make a relationship work and not letting your partner give up just because things aren't always easy. |

| SpamNRice (Vicenza, Italy) | Posted: Feb 08, 2007 - 22:52 Foo Fighters = Good stuff! (Not so keen on their latest offering, but so what... that's me). I can't believe someone dis'd the Offspring! Listen to those wonderful double entendre lyrics as they wail away... Granted they're not to everyone's taste, but if you're ever working out hard, or you're really hating someone -- they need to be in your headset. And yes, that is very juvenile, which is the whole appeal of the Offspring. Now get out of the way you little prude |

f that dude ... dave grohl is one of the most underappreciated rockers of the 90's ... period ... because he doesn't do weird shit to get the population's attention like eating live animals on stage or going to the woods for 3 weeks on an acid trip eating bark and leaves while changing his name to susan vanderbees and getting involved with a transvestite/heroin addict ... none of that bull shit ... he just rocks and enjoys it ... he went from drumming for the most influential bands of the decade to leading another quite successful band ... overrated? ... no ... remember when he and taylor hawkins did that anti smoking commercial while smoking? ... classic. ![]() |
