The Walkmen - The Rat + lyrics

[halasraf]

this is an amazing song!!!!! <3 :D

[punkfilipina88]

I love this song on a ridiculous level♥

[dreamcatchme75]

my heart starts beating faster every time i listen to it.:)

[Munger88]

this is one of my favorite songs. not by them, not of the decade, but ever.

[28Tyc]

To be underrated in todays society is the best!!

[rawrandstuff95]

This song gives me horrible flashbacks. I adore it though.

[TheLeftyGrove]

Nice.

For those that haven't, if you like this, you might give The Afghan Whigs' "Gentleman" album a listen. I hear some similarities. Sounds like they are both underrated.

[NedsMissingTeeth]

I've had sex with every member of the band. They were all brilliant. Although not quite as brilliant as this song.

I'd do them all again. Especially the drummer.

[paramecium214]

10 people are THE rat.

[ishouldhaverecycled]

this song gives me anxiety haha

[chickenbuttiscool]

i wanna snowboard!

[gmalt888]

@1EllaBennett...this song scares the f**k out of me but its intensity & hypnotic rhythmn is a sight to behold....UNBELIEVABLE track capturing the raw essence of youthful energy in 2004...first time I fell in love & took Scorpio revenge, ha ha!

[SuperPillboxhat]

in the first verse you have the last two lines the wrong way around, sorry to be pernickety.

[queenofdoomandgloom]

I get to see them with Fleet Foxes :D

[StarSeeker94]

@queenofdoomandgloom Fleet Foxes are good. I like White Winther Hymnal :)

[SoBasedSwag]

You break up, your in hate but then you remember your in love. Your going insane you miss her you wanna die.

[whereszorro]

bike crashes on eurosport!!!!

[PandorahStudios]

This song has been out for over 5 years... Why is everyone bumming it now??

[Xxcupcake522xx]

@PandorahStudios because

they like trashy shit

like hip hop and you know

[ph0u503f]

@PandorahStudios Things are always best to bum when they're around 5 years old.

I'm talking about children.

[SuperPillboxhat]

@PandorahStudios Does it matter when people hear a good song? Just aslong as they do hear it.

[danilovic44]

amazing, very strong

[mouse1712]

This song is so feckin amazing that only the seldom few know it. We are the chosen few!

[Keyser21]

@mouse1712 thats not how good things work....

[okwooahh]

this song.. if i say I LOVE IT is a fucking understatement, it could be a brief history of the shit that happens before you find out about bipolar...still a great song, associations or otherwise

[NU13NU13NU13]

NU ALLOWS

[jamdodgeismyname1]

[sadlionmusic]

Great record

[ruidelcamendes]

fckin addictive

[ZenBarracuda]

New heard of The Walkmen - but I'll be seeing them at a festival in September. Right now, this is the first time I've heard their music. Yeah, they've got energy, they sound interesting. This calls for further investigation. A bit like U2, would you say?

[rolliedean]

@ZenBarracuda i'd say they're probably more similar to The Strokes than U2, either way they're a great band

[bazuu]

9 people are rats.



[beastinblaney7]

Great drummer.

[MinMorts]

Seeing these guys with Kings of Leon and White lies next Thursday at Hyde Park :)

[furakona]

@MinMorts You got a nerve saying that just to make me jealous...lol...have a nice gig!!

[lovesababe]

@MinMorts that sounds epic!

[haymaker710]

Everybody go to Walkmen live at bonnaroo

[swistony12]

On new years this played as the midnight song was amazing

[27NastyNas]

@swistony12 thats one kick-ass new year's party! :)

[arminho09]

brings back memories of crazy drunken and occasionally lonely nights...so much emotion in the song definitely in my top songs of all time

[MaustheMaus]

5 people don't like this song.

[razorsuper]

This is one of the greatest song of the decade, full of passion, rage and emotion from start to finish. The drumming is phenomenal

[vidmasterofworld]

5 people are rats!

[GnarlyGeorgia]

Thanks Nylon

[dustywvt]

such a great song

[fushia24]

Great song.

[nicotinelolipop]

There was a point where I would listen to this EVERY DAY. Love this song! <3

[Hannoi]

Still their best song.

[Paddyman69]

At 2:20 this bit is what makes it as an epic tune. Reminds me of Uni days getting smashed on vodka red bull hehe..Quality!!

[figment0277]

This song makes me smile....reminds me of great times. 

[martinkenny100]

poor mans strokes? twat. the strokes aint fit to lick these boys boots

[audiophil92]

Dirt 2 ftw! great game, and I've discovered a lot of cool songs I wouldnt have heard of otherwise :)

[rantrantrant]

poor man's strokes.

[audiophil92]

@rantrantrant I'd say its more a mix of strokes and bloc party somehow...

And Strokes only had one really good album, Room on Fire... Everything else I've heard from them (and I got their discography), fails to reach the standard of that album...

[RSRatornra]

@rantrantrant rugged man's strokes.

Take a shot of whisky, start a fight, fuck a girl, all while listening to this song....all at the same time.

[scottbaioisdead]

@rantrantrant hey fuck ass the strokes were influenced by jonathan fire*eater so do some research

[rantrantrant]

@scottbaioisdead too busy fucking ass to do any research buddy 

[gasgas270]

best song ever..QED.

[pollordubai]

In the lyrics it says, "that I saw." It's actually just, "I saw." Pedantic yes.

[enjoipunkrock]

@pollordubai WELL IT SAYS THAT I SAW FIRST LINE

JUST SAYING THAT I SAW FIRST

[Fluwmlock]

lyrics are wrong, disliked

[speke1989]

[OldSkoolRapOnly]

DiRT2!!!!!!!!!

[RSRatornra]

You've got a nerve

best part, niggers

[eezysqueezy]

Manna for my earholes!

[LessThanJoanne]

This is criminally underviewed.

[beaniegrl420]

@LessThanJoanne that was exactly the same thought I had when I did the search! I couldn't believe it!

[mrhappysod]

Lyrics wrong end of first chorus, he doesnt say call out your name until the second chorus, he just repeats pounding on your door twice. :)

[yeshas11111111]

FUCK YOUTUBE BUFFERING.

I just realized. Its ironic that "youtube'' is considered as an incorrect word. xD.

ie, its underlined.

[castnoshadow06]

Anyone notice the lyrics written wrong, ie; hear - pounding and see - calling, either way shit hot song. Would this album be the one to buy???

[NizzleHudsizzle]

@castnoshadow06

Yes, this album and their previous one "Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone". This album is probably my favorite though, my other fav tracks are "Bows & Arrows", "Little House of Savages" and "Thinking of a Dream".

Since then, they've "cleaned up" a bit and they sound more polished. No hate here, bands do have to change over time to stay "relevant", but I think the lead singer was always unique, and the drummer is nuts. IMO, they could've kept it gritty.

[iamthegreatest1234]

@NizzleHudsizzle Well, it wasn't completely necessary for them to change so much, but you gotta admit that the newer, quieter Walkmen are just as good, if not better, than the older, louder, and rustier Walkmen. You & Me was my favorite album of '08 and Lisbon is pretty great too.

[NizzleHudsizzle]

@iamthegreatest1234

You and me is a great album. But maan, if you saw saw my play count... I still listen to the title track "Bows and Arrows" and the others like I'm hearing them for the first time. To each his own I guess, but whatever, we can both agree that the Walkmen were and still are awesome and unique.

[blotchy67]

@Lisbon IS incredible. They, along with Elbow, are the only relevant band whose records keep getting better and better.

[castnoshadow06]

@NizzleHudsizzle

Cheers mate, yea i reckon this album sounds better than the other but shear quality all the way

[BrianCulticeMusic]

idk how many times ive listened to this on a loop today.... it just hit a nerve i guess

[jesuslovescock1]

Fantastic song + album. Pity Lisbon is a bit shite

[niknak987]

@jesuslovescock1 don't know what you're talkin about. lisbon is great

[Renegadesays]

The Walkmen - Lisbon

[Turphed]

@Renegadesays WOOHOO!

[Mateo92s]

say them live last weekend soooo good!

[zerotwinnn]

I may have just found my second favorite band!

Right on par with Arctic Monkeys!

[eastloschicos]

beautiful song....

[tezwales]

very possible the best song ive ever heared!

[tezwales]

defffo one of the best songs made in the last 10 years!

[TheLooksOfficial]

Total banger, cant wait to see these guys in November!

[hj5101]

@vaillant2004 i dont kno what u said but i agree :D

[vaillant2004]

@hj5101 I said that this group should be spread(broadcasted) more and deserves to be more known . Je fais l'effort d'écrire en anglais

[JetMetropolis]

One of the best drum tracks of the last 30 years in rock.

[vaillant2004]

Trop bon !!! Ce groupe mériterait d'être encore plus connu !

[LuizCornell09]

Hot cholate tour!Watch it!

[youseuf]

@LuizCornell09 you know it bro

[bEnSlAtEr001]

Skinss song =]

[antisadism]

orgasmic song.

[aznxdope]

@antisadism This song is good, but I've heard that word "orgasmic" so many times it's pissing me the fuck off...

[RSRatornra]

@aznxdope your reply was orgasmic.

and whyumadbro?

haven't had an orgasm in awhile?

maybe my orgasmic member can help you with that orgasm problem.

[Kirespark]

epic win

[ProsStatus]

The drummer all day.

[seabasstian17]

@jamestupolev DICK HAMMER LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOL

[MyLittleBonsai]

Just like to point out in the first bit where you have

'Can't you hear me I'm, Pounding on your door

Can't you see me i'm, calling out your name'

It should be the other way around... As in, pounding on your door is see and calling out your name is hear. :). Amazing song, thanks for putting it up!

[jimmykojak]

@MyLittleBonsai Quite pedantic, but well spotted, none the less ! Kudos to you !!!
