Heute ist das neue Album von „Noah and the Whale“ mit dem Titel „Last Night On Earth“ erschienen. Einen Song den ich schon eine Weile im Radio höre und der mir auch ganz gut gefällt ist „L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.“. Sehr melodisch…
„L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.“
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips
She’s a rock ’n‘ roll survivor with pendulum hips
She’s got deep brown eyes
That’ve seen it all
Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue
The bar men used to call her „Little Lisa, Loney Tunes“
She went down on almost anyone
From the hard time living ‚til the Chelsea days
From when her hair was sweet blonde ‚til the day it turned gray
She said:
[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You’ve got more than money and sense, my friend
You’ve got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don’t have now will come back again
You’ve got heart and you go in your own way
Some people wear their history like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist just living out of case
But his best word was his letters home
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He’d say:
[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You’ve got more than money and sense, my friend
You’ve got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don’t have now will come back again
You’ve got heart and you go in your own way
On my last night on earth, I won’t look to the sky
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
On my last night on earth, I’ll pay a high price
To have no regrets and be done with my life
[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You’ve got more than money and sense, my friend
You’ve got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don’t have now will come back again
You’ve got heart and you go in your own way
Einen richtigen Ohrwurm hat mir die Band aber schon vor längerer Zeit mit ihrem Song „5 Years Time“ verpasst.
„5 Years Time“
Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there’ll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I’ll put my hands over your eyes, but you’ll peep through
And there’ll be sun sun sun all over our bodies
And sun sun sun all down our necks
And sun sun sun all over our faces
And sun sun sun -so what the heck!
Cos I’ll be laughing at all your silly little jokes
And we’ll be laughing about how we used to smoke
All those stupid little cigarettes and drink stupid wine
Cos it’s what we needed to have a good time
And it was fun fun fun when we were drinking
It was fun fun fun when we were drunk
And it was fun fun fun when we were laughing
It was fun fun fun, oh it was fun
Oh well I look at you and say
It’s the happiest that I’ve ever been
And I’ll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean
And she’ll say
„Yah well I feel all pretty happy too“
And I’m always pretty happy when I’m just kicking back with you
And it’ll be love love love all through our bodies
And love love love all through our minds
And it be Love love love all over her face
And Love love love all over mine
Although maybe all these moments are just in my head
I’ll be thinking ‘bout them as I’m lying in bed
And all that I believe, it might not even come true
But in my mind I’m havin‘ a pretty good time with you
In five years time I might not know you
In five years time we might not speak
In five years time we might not get along
In five years time you might just prove me wrong
Oh there’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love
