The National live@ Festival Manta Guimarães 18-07-08 "Daughters Of The Soho Riots + Apartment Story"
Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours While it sings to itself or whatever it does when it sings to itself of its long lost loves I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why
Tired and wired we ruin too easy sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave but I’ll be with you behind the couch when they come on a different day just like this one
We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us do whatever the TV tells us stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us do whatever the TV tells us stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz
so worry not all things are well we’ll be alright we have our looks and perfume
Acoustic live version with guests: Robyn, Adam & Bebban (Shout Out Louds), Daniel (The Concretes), Lars (Laakso) and Mikael (Hjalmar). Director: Ted Malmros + Christian Haag
I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life. Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives. I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars. You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.
This is our decision, to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun. Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do. Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.
Forget about our mothers and our friends We're fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend To pretend
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah, I'll miss the boredem and the freedom and the time spent alone.
There's really nothing, nothing we can do Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew. The models will have children, we'll get a divorce We'll find some more models, everyting must run it's course.
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end We were fated to pretend To pretend We're fated to pretend To pretend
Can you wait there for so long Can you be there if I fall Can you fall and stay strong Can you dry your eyes and laugh Can you show me your heart once more Can you breath a new life now Can I freeze this moment with you Can my hand fix your heart and you Did you ever touch the ground Can we sing `out of time` in repeat, and look both of us underneath or forget and reset Cause the beat will change your life, and the sweat will turn you on, and your veins will shine outside
