| [00:20.207] |
And I load it upstairs, just to load it downstairs |
| [00:25.718] |
and I load it in to a windowless room for 60RMB an hour |
| [00:30.440] |
So I can feel some power, so I can try some ideas |
| [00:35.279] |
So I can put words over beats that will be forgotten by the end of the year. |
| [00:40.493] |
And I untangle leads, yell until my throat bleeds |
| [00:45.760] |
Breathe in the mould and replace broken strings |
| [00:50.727] |
That I bought the day before and carried home in the storm |
| [00:55.744] |
Put in the guitar case with pliers and band aids |
| [01:00.876] |
And we practice the set, try to pick our best songs |
| [01:05.733] |
Check what time we’re expected there and what time we’re on |
| [01:11.004] |
Tangle the leads again and load it upstairs |
| [01:15.905] |
Drag it home over worn out bones just to get it on stage |
| [01:20.992] |
But the girl in the blue dress, keeps talking through my set |
| [01:31.417] |
And the louder I go, well the louder she gets |
| [01:42.290] |
And I stare at my frets, try to put one or two together that could help me, help me, help me to connect |
| [01:47.869] |
But no matter who I am or where I’m going or what I’ve seen I guess I’ll never impress, the girl with the blue dress. |
| [02:01.004] |
They said sound check was at 6, but I get there at 5 |
| [02:08.386] |
and why the fvck is the first band still sound checking at a quarter to 9? |
| [02:14.111] |
Watch them play the same beats and try to find time to eat |
| [02:18.652] |
But they promise they’ll be done soon as I slump in my seat |
| [02:23.790] |
Sitting in a shadowed corner when the organiser said |
| [02:29.278] |
Let’s wait for more bodies, let’s wait for more heads |
| [02:34.347] |
Let’s wait, let’s wait, let’s wait for more crowd |
| [02:39.468] |
Walk on stage and hope our songs make our parents proud |
| [02:44.277] |
But the girl in the blue dress, keeps talking through my set |
| [02:54.685] |
And the louder I go, well the louder she gets |
| [03:05.290] |
And I stare at my frets, try to put one or two together that could help me, help me, help me to connect |
| [03:15.986] |
But no matter who I am or where I’m going or what I’ve seen I guess I’ll never impress, the girl with the blue dress. |
