bobby long so tear me up

[SpunkRansomette]

So I watch you go

So hold me down

so tear me up

so let me in for a while

(REPEAT X2)

I bet you hate to see a poor man start to smile

[SpunkRansomette]

When everyone's a down-and-out, ya don't know where it ends, but the forecast tells the lads to push on through. Beyond the tempest shade of faces wrecked in afternoon, the lucky like to stick it to the few So sing a song of sixpence while sticking to the change and men could never seem to make it last. So send out 3 iotas to the hate that loved the cut, the scar will have to wear upon the mass. so hold me down so tear me up so let me in for a while (REPEAT)

[SpunkRansomette]

I’m running through the backdoor My head across the sky Hoping that my girl will let me in And as the body starting all this screaming That made her wake him up Kid, you'll never wanna follow him But the rich kids on the corner Bet it all for solitaire Just to lay the poor upon the boy Walking out the road, new shoes, dark chalk upon their face of red Beating out to keep their heads above the noise so hold me down tear me up let me in for a while (REPEAT)

@TheyLostEyes keep it in your pants.

[Confusingish]

[ReeLeeNow]

Damn, I didn't realize I would like this. Oh well, better late than never.

[MegCarry]

I can be two rooms over with my music low and can hear him come on, and then I have to turn it up.

[razzleydazzly]

like 20 something

[giesie1982]

can't wait to see him in a few days here in gearmany ^^

[freakchinasky]

please!! can someone post the lyrics?

[schwiety992]

the lyrics don't really matter... it's not like he means anything by it... i think it might even be nicer to just understand tidbits and kind of make your own meaning out of both the few lyrics you do get and the melody...

[64ccd]

Very well said. I hope that he'd agree with you. From the few lyrics by him that I have read, I really didn't understand anything. I mean, the sentences look beautiful on the own, but together; they make little to no sense. However, that seems to be all that matters to him.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[schwiety992]

i read in some interview with him that he himself doens't really know what he's saying when he writes and that later, when he finishes, it's just kinda like oh right that's what i was trying to say... and at least for me, about half of the lyrics relate to something i have felt or experienced... the others just kind of embellish the song...

[64ccd]

Great. That's what I was hoping for. And yeah, about half of the lyrics relate to something more "tangible".

Or at least for me they do anyways.

[BuuubbbblllesMcgee]

Where I can find lyrics?

[teenagestupidity13]

i've been wondering the same thing. i cant find lyrics to any of his songs that he hasn't posted on his myspace.. someone who understands the brit slurring in his music should try and get the lyrics.
