All Over Town- The Kooks

"There are people who would undermine me if they could"

I was running around campus like a mad woman today.  I got to my first class, realized I forgot my computer, and had turn around to get and practically run to get to my class in time.  And then after choir, I had to pretty much run to class within 10 mins because it is on the other side of campus.  My glutes got a great workout today.

I love this song and the Kooks.  I am so happy to see that they have released a new album.  I really like their new song Junk of the Heart.  Classic Kooks. 

Dear sir, did I see you fleeting?
I can’t feel heart but not for it beating
You tried to put a frown on me, fell me down
You’re spreading bad things about me all over town
But I’ll show no frown

Because all over town, yes all over town
There are people who would undermine you if they could
Don’t let them in

What do you see when you see me, sir?
The very same thing that makes you bitter
So you’ll say all these outrageous things, that’s what you do
Yes, but you’re no poet man
You just want everyone looking at you
So I’ll show no frown

Because all over town yes all over this town
There are people who would undermine you if they could
Don’t let them in

Oh, all over town, yes all over this town
There are people who would undermine me if they could
Won’t let them in

 

Tick of Time- The Kooks

"Get off this situation and feel fine"

So, I was listening to the Konk album by the Kooks the other day and it made me totally fall right back into love with them.  I think they are so underrated.  They are a great band.  Yeah, sure, sometimes their lyrics are a little lacking, but their melodies and musical directions are so catchy and great.  I really miss hearing from them. Apparently, they have another album coming out this fall.  Hopefully, it will be great.

This song is my favorite on the album.  It's really simple with only a few instruments but it's really catchy.  I think there are two singers in this which makes it even more interesting.  I really want to do this song in my band.

Oh honey please, don't shed no tears
As long as im here


It's far too early in the morning to be trying to call you
And far too early in the daytime to be thinking about that


But I, (but I), but I, (but I), but I am


What did I do in a past life, oh to deserve this
Yeah the way I make myself
He's far too innocent to be a part of such a cruel world
And it is, and it is and it is


And so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride
Hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine
Get off this situation and feel fine


What did I do to deserve her love
I have to ask myself

When I am such a bad man but only to her (only to her, only, only to her)


Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride
Oh and so I'll go, yes I'll go, so I'll take that train and ride
Wishing, hoping I can write her a rhyme, that might stop the tick of time
Get off this situation and feel fine
Get off this situation and feel fine
