![]() Silent Alarm (2005) [ larger cover art ] |
To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book
To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
I've been paid, I've been paid
To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book
To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift
I've been paid, I've been paid, I've been
Don't get offended if I seem absent-minded
Just keep telling me facts and keep making me smiling
And Don't get offended if I seem absent-minded
I get tongue-tied
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never known what is good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
I will be yours
I'll pay for you anytime
And you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Well, jump right, enjoy, you can gorge away
And you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Jump right
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never known what is good for me and
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
Jump left
What are you holding out for?
What's always in the way?
Why so damn absent-minded?
Why so scared of romance?
This modern love
Breaks me
This modern love
Wastes me
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Throw your arms around me

I was reminded of Dinosaur Jr's Feel the Pain. |
| cooshound | Posted: Jan 05, 2006 - 07:54 My 4 year old daughter loves this song. I prefer to think she has good taste, as opposed to Bloc Party's music being best suited for 4 year olds. |
| brokemusician (Segoverkia) | Posted: Jan 05, 2006 - 07:53 Sounds like Interpol, but less suicidal. |

I heard Guster throughout. Are these guys pre- or post- Guster? Who's influencing who? |

The song might make me go postal |

| infamoso (Hermosa Beach, CA) | Posted: Jul 27, 2005 - 16:30 I dig this band! Saw them live @ SXSW in Austin...great show. There's been a recent wave of talented artists from the UK lately...this is one of them. |
| fuh2 (I think I'm in the USA) | Posted: Jul 12, 2005 - 21:50 I quite like it. I think it sounds like American-style indie-pop rock to me. |
| serendipity_blue (Nowhere you'd like to be) | Posted: Jun 13, 2005 - 11:28 I like it! More people should offer to pay for me anytime. |
| lester | Posted: May 16, 2005 - 20:39 No thanks. |
| bebe (Southern California) | Posted: May 16, 2005 - 19:58 i like it, but it will grow old pretty quickly. |

| Fishy-Man | Posted: Mar 04, 2005 - 09:22 Wow- this song is really annoying. |
| Dragonfly_Launch (Conway, Ar) | Posted: Mar 02, 2005 - 16:58 Okay I'll bite. This song is interesting. Of course, I am drinking. Very british. Very Feelies with brit overtones. |
