Lied van de week: week 25 - 2018

Better than that - James

Mo(hammed) Salah, de sterspeler van het Egyptische elftal en Liverpool, inspireerde voetbalfans om James' Sit down van nieuwe lyrics te voorzien en tot voetbalhymne uit te laten groeien. Die band zelf zal daar ongetwijfeld heel blij mee zijn, en al zeker in de aanloop naar hun nieuwe album, Living in extraordinary times, dat op 3 augustus uitkomt. Deze single gaat die plaat alvast vooraf.

Je kan het album Living in extraordinary times hier alvast bestellen.

Lyrics: 

Awake
This song has found you
Asleep at the wheel of your car
You're boring; bored; unengaged
Life comes to rattle your cage

You can do better than that
Hit me again and give it some impact
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and show me where I crack

This naked ape
So out of shape
Sedated by hi-tech
Wants fame on a plate
Though water flows round rocks
Its path don't deviate

You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and give it some impact
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and show me where I crack
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that

You're coming out of your way
Live like today's your last day

You can do better than that
Hit me again and give it some impact
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hit me again and show me where I crack
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
You can do better than that
