| Their first single released by Rough trade in the UK…a lotta people liked it…thus they got hyped up to the see you next Tuesday. With good reason of course. This song is very cool, very fun, very rock and very original. It’s been compared to I’m waiting for my Man by the Velvet underground…well…yes and no….they’re both good songs so its all ace baby! I love the intro to this song, it gets me all tingly, its suspensful and makes you listen without being pretentious, its kinda like its wispering you a secret saying “hey, dude, listen…this song ROCKS !” and then it just explodes and its like fuuuuuuuck. The guitar solo in this song…oh…my…gah. Its fucking ace. Descending, collapsing shit as Nick calls it, and as Albert puts it “descending scale shit that Nick does, that’s fuckin’ hard!” It kinda implodes in your head makes you wanna trash about a bit…its great. The lyrics are really fun and Julian gets into which sets it off…I love the “oh let me, a g-g-g-g-g-g-g- gooooo” bit and all that, I think its so fucking cool…oh and I might point out now, how cool is the way the Strokes end their songs? Its SO perfect and it makes you want more and it enforces that “I don’t give a fuck” feeling, but you’re still left with the rest of the song being so amazing that you just go, man, what the hell was that? The Modern Age Up on a hill is where we begin This little story a long time ago Stop to pretend, stop pretending It seems this game is simply never-ending Oh, in the sun, sun having fun It's in my blood I just can't help it Don't want you here right now Let me go, oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go Leavin' just in time Stay there for a while Rolling in the ocean Trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy Do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different So I'll pretend I'm leaving Our fears are different here We train in A-V-A I wish you hadn't stayed My vision's clearer now, but I'm unafraid Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze I took too many varieties Oh, in the sun, sun having fun It's in my blood I just can't help it Don't want you here right now Let me go Darling let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go Leaving just in time Staying for a while Rolling in the ocean Trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy Do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different So this is why I'm leaving |
