Lied van de week: week 51 - 2015

Sister of pearl - Baio

Het had een single van The Beautiful South kunnen zijn, maar dit komt uit The names, het solodebuut van (Chris) Baio, de zanger van Vampire Weekend. Het is me een raadsel hoe een Amerikaan erin slaagt zo Brits te klinken, maar een goed popnummer is het zeker.

Je kan het album hier kopen.

Lyrics:

Think I might forget it, gonna write it down-down-down
If you'll just regret it, don't bring your ass around-round-round
It is what it is until it was what it was
So just keep on swinging if only because-cause-cause
 
I can tell by the look, you don't mean what you say
Like a sentimental crook, it's tough to get away
If it even would matter, I would play every part
But I'm too overeager and I just false start
 
Oh, sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Oh, sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
 
Think I might forget it, gonna write it down-down-down
If it's copacetic, bring it back around-round-round
I'm tired of fighting another man's pointless war
So please keep up with it just like you have done before.
 
I can tell by the look, you mean what you say
Like a sentimental crook, it's tough to get away
If it even would matter, I would play every part
But I'm too overeager and I just false start
 
Oh sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Oh sister of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the world
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
 
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
