This week’s song: Something Changed & Toni by Interpol

LYRICS

I waited through shame for this

I waited through shame for this
Are you there?
Everyday I see if chance was calling
Are you there?

I got a numb skull
I got a green heart

Something changed, well I’ve got in
We all suffer the same things
We’re in the sun, like nothing
All waging the good fight
Something changed, now I’m stuck here, so defensive

I wanna see
What kind of place they’d lay for me

I don’t like these open endings
Are you there?
Well I forgive you but there’s no pretendings
Are you there?

I got a numb skull
I got a green heart

Something changed, and I’ve got in
I wanna speak fast
And as we know, without substance
It’s more powerful than they can supply
Every day, we’re all stuck here, so effective

I wanna see
What kind of place they’d lay for me

I forgive you but there’s no pretending
(It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free)
It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free
It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free

Something changed, oh, I’ve got in
You may wanna stay back
It’s not the same, no sense in running
For the sake of the old pad
No parade, nobody’s coming
We’re all part of the same pack

And I wanna see
What kind of place they’d lay for me

It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free
It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free

LYRICS

Flame down Pacific highway
Still in shape, my methods refined
(Yes)
Long gone superstitions falling
Be seen how my memories refused

I‘d like to see them win
I like the inspiration like it’s going in the right direction
That’s to me
I’d like to see them win
It’s my kind of aspiration like it’s going in the right direction
That’s to me, to me, to me, to be

The aim now is perfection always
The aim now is fuckin’ leave it behind
(Yes)
Oh no, through perception’s hallways
When the change comes we’ll live in green skies

I’d like to see them win
I like the inspiration like it’s going in the right direction
That’s to me, to me, to me
I’d like to see them win
It’s my kind of aspiration like it’s flowing in the right direction
That’s to me

Who are you to doubt us?
Who are you to doubt us?
(Who are you to doubt us)
Who are you to doubt us?

Let me tell you ’bout the wayward starlet, face adorned with bones
Looked me up and down, said, babe we’re soaring, but you don’t notice
Let me tell you ’bout the wayward starlet, face adorned with skulls
Looked me up and down, said, babe we’re soaring, but you don’t notice

Above the ocean
Above the ocean
Above the ocean
Above the ocean

Above the ocean
Above the ocean
