Ben Gibbard - They Don't Know (Live Acoustic On KEXP)

ben gibbard (lead singer of death cab for cutie and the postal service) playing "they don't know", a song by kirsty maccoll, covered by tracey ullman - and by ben gibbard, live and acoustic on kexp. think it's okay to upload it as you can't buy it anywhere. if you want to buy the original song, buy it, look it up on itunes (or wherever you prefer to download your mp3s). :) for the cover, look no further: http://zshare.net/audio/7728803371043e09/

lyrics:

You've been around for such a long time now,
And maybe I could leave you, but I don't know how.
And why should I be lonely every night,
When I could be with you, oh yes you make it right.
So I don't listen to the boys who say,
That you're bad for me and I should turn you away.
Cause they don't know about us, they've never heard of love.
I get a feeling when I look at you,
Wherever you go now, I wanna' be there too.
They say we're crazy, but I just don't care,
And if they keep on talking, still they'll get nowhere.
So I don't mind if they don't understand,
When I look at you and you hold my hand.
Cause they don't know about us, they've never heard of love.
Why should it matter to us if they don't approve?
We should just take our chances what if we've got nothing to lose?
Baby, there's no need for living in the past,
Cause now I found good lovin', gonna' make it last.
I tell the others, "don't bother me",
Cause when I look at you, they don't see what I see.
And I don't listen to their wasted lines,
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs.
Cause they don't know about us, they've never heard of love.
So I don't listened to their wasted lines,
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs.
Cause they don't know about us, they've never heard of love

i can't find an mp3 of this for purchase. i dig this song....please help!

[31b4rt0]

it really is quite rare, and one can't purchase it as it never was officially released by ben gibbard, the postal service or dcfc - it's an acoustic cover of kirsty maccoll's song that he did exclusively for kexp... or some other live performances too, maybe.

i personally found it somewhere on the internet. i don't know where anymore, so i uploaded it again - there you go: zshare[dot]net/audio/772880337­1043e09/ (replace the [dot] by a real one, youtube won't let me post it otherwise.)
