Jónsi - Time to Pretend (MGMT Cover)

Jónsi covers MGMT's 'Time to Pretend' at Jo Whiley's Live Lounge.

==LYRICS==

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, on the prime of my life
Let's make some music, some money, some wine
I'll move to Paris, the heroin on a star
You'll man the island, the cocaine and the car

This is our decision, live fast, die young
We've got a vision, now let's have some fun
Yes, it's overwhelming, but what can we do
Get jobs, wake up, commute

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretend
We're fated to pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds, the animals and worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the world
I'll miss my sister and my father, my dog
I'll miss the boredom, the freedom, alone

There is nothing, nothing we can do
Love forgotten, life will start anew
Models, children, we'll divorce
We'll find more, everything runs its course

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We're fated to pretend
We're fated to pretend
We're fated to pretend

Fated to... pretend
Fated to... pretend
Fated to... pretend

"This is soooo gay"  ...and what's wrong with that?

[howardjhtan]

@claudiaciapocha "A joke (or gag) is a phrase or a paragraph with a humorous twist." You should try making a joke. It's great! Maybe you will like other people's jokes one day also! Fun for all!

[glacialwaysz]

I want him to cover every mgmt song...

[DennisApples]

womit yes

[Jauckor]

Jonsi caught the real meaning of this song.

Extemely deep.

[tacogrl14]

this is brilliant! who cares if he's gay?! he should be treated with the same respect as lady gaga(who is bi) and elton john(who is gay) seriously, his sexuality doesn't matter. he's talented and that's all that should matter.

@romulus2 you hate homophobes and fags? perhaps you should google definition these words prior to using them and contradicting yourself.

[Wickenburgz]

An absolute genious.

[romulus2]

There are just two things I hate in this world. Homophobes and fags.

[epparddc]

yo who's tired of dealing with homophobes on the internet

for real

[samacoy]

Combining two of my favorite artists?! Goodness, the Universe loves me.
