The Underdog

La canción es una de las que están en el player #5. Ya hemos puesto aquí en el blog, su MP3 y el link para ver su video. Ahora para que la canturrees mientras suena.


Picture yourself in the living room
your pipe and slippers set out for you
I know you think that it ain't too far

But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
felt the need to get up for it
oh you cut out the middleman
get free from the middleman

You got no time for the messenger,
got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,
you got no fear of the underdog,
that's why you will not survive!

I want to forget how conviction fits
but can I get out from under it?
Can I gut it out of me?
It can't all be wedding cake
It can't all be boiled away
I try but I can't let go of it
Can't let go of it,

Cause you don't talk to the water boy
and there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know,
You will not back up an inch ever,
that's why you will not survive,

The thing that I tell you now
It may not go over well
And it may not be photo-op
in the way that I spell it out

But you won't hear from the messenger,
don't wanna know bout something that you don't understand,
You got no fear of the underdog,
that's why you will not survive! (Hey!)

    Spoon Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Lyrics
    1. Don't Make Me A Target
    Here come the man from the stars
    we don't know why he go so far
    and keep on marching along
    beatin' his drum

    Thugs and stick and bats and balls
    for nuclear dicks with dialect drawls
    they come from a parking lot town
    where nothing lives in the sun

    Don't make me a target (3x)
    When you reach back in his mind
    feels like he's breaking the law
    There's something back there he got
    that nobody knows

    He never claimed to say what he says
    He smells like the inside of closets and stairs
    The kind where nobody goes

    Don't make me a target...

    2. The Ghost Of You Lingers
    If you were here
    Would you calm me down?
    You settled this part
    Feelings I fight (all the strangers in town)
    Feeling so bright (would know if you were here)
    The feelings I fight (would you ease my mind?)
    Yeah (Come on!)

    The sleep fled from my eyes
    And I, I know that I need some
    Give a thought to the one that you know

    Or would you calm me down
    When the night gets shadowed
    We fast

    We put on the clinic
    If you were here
    It felt good to me
    (would you calm me down)
    Can't see I'm losing it
    Must have set up the scene
    (The man asleep knockup)
    Put on a clinic
    (I see it) But I will need to write
    (we settled this part) They're all alive

    Oh, would you ease my mind?
    Yeah

    (The ghost of you lingers)
    Put on a clinic till we hit the wall
    (And leaves)
    Just like a sailor with his wools beat soft
    Come on

    I had a light bad noon that could be put back together

    My life
    So light
    Would you settle this part?

    If you were here
    Would you calm me down?

    The ghost of you lingers
    And leaves
    I always think about it
    Oh, would you calm me down?

    3. You Got Yr Cherry Bomb
    Life can be so fair
    Let it go on and on
    I can push for good
    You got that cherry bomb
    Blow out that cherry bomb for me
    We lost it long ago
    You and me

    Now you know your way back from the spirit far
    Brush your teeth for bed
    Blow out that cherry bomb
    Blow out that cherry bomb for me
    You got to know it's on your sleeve
    Know it's on your sleeve
    Know it's on your sleeve (c'mon)

    It was the longest day that I had ever known
    I watched you start that drive alone
    Blow out that cherry bomb for me
    It's gonna burn right up your sleeve
    Burn right up your sleeve

    So there you go again
    Out in your dressing gown
    Get yourself to bed
    Blow out that cherry bomb

    Oh, life can be so fair
    Let it go on and on
    I could pay to have all your cherry bomb
    Oh, life can be so fair
    Let it go on and on
    I could pay to have all your cherry bomb

    4. Don't You Evah
    Bet you got it all planned right
    Bet you never worry
    never even feel a fright
    Bet you got it all planned right
    Never fit to worry
    never even feel a fright.

    Single sleeps alone
    and I know you don't really mind
    Five years by your side
    so I know you really don't mind

    But don't you love her
    deep down
    I said don't evah
    cause it's gonna keep him hanging around

    Never
    deep down
    I said don't evah
    because it's gonna keep him hanging around

    Don't you never think it's right
    Bet you think you had to but it doesn't feel right
    Bet you never think it feels right
    Famous-sounding words make your head feel light

    Petals getting picked
    with the love-yous
    and the love-you-not

    Five years going by
    Everyone is standing on their side

    But don't you love her
    deep down
    I said don't evah
    because you're gonna keep him hanging around

    Never
    deep down
    I said don't evah
    because it's gonna keep him hanging around

    But don't you love her
    deep down
    I said don't ever
    because it's gonna keep him hanging around

    Five years going by
    everyone is standing on their side

    Never
    deep down
    I said don't ever
    cause it's gonna keep him hanging around

    Five years going by
    everyone is standing on their side

    I said don't ever need to worry
    cause it's gonna feel all right

    Never

    5. Rhthm And Soul
    Come loosen up,
    so hung up
    come count them ways to brether

    Remember,
    Windsor
    gets cold in ways you always forget

    Oh you know
    mmm the rhythm and soul
    Get your hands out your back pockets,
    boy let it go

    [CHORUS]

    Here comes the man,
    you saw in Kazan,
    he just picks in his cold... oh no...
    the rhythm and soul

    Dollars and cents and no accident
    not in the name of democracy
    Come get there, come be there
    come let your socks fall down to your shoes

    Oh you know
    mm... the rhythm and soul
    Get your ankles moving their sockets
    ooh, there you go

    [CHORUS]

    And here comes the man,
    he bought a gift from Kazan
    he can't leave it alone... oh no...
    the rhythm and soul

    When you take a picture and it falls in the lot, oh no no
    Take another picture and you spring in the trap, oh no no... mm you miss home

    You can't back this at your ride
    change of tide
    And you're wise, you're wise
    rhythm and...

    Tract houses
    square couches
    short legs and square shoulders

    Pot holders
    aching soldiers
    your tank rollers
    your all overs

    And you know
    ooh the rhythm and soul
    Get your fingers moving their sockets,
    tune in Tokyo

    You're just the man
    the one I saw in Kazan
    wonder what this book will throw... oh no
    the rhythm and...

    6. Eddie’s Ragga
    Someone that I met but I hardly knew
    He said that everyone loves a defective heart
    He'd parted ways with diction, this was late last night
    He see me getting your affection and it proved he was right
    The way I stared off thinking that all was sound

    Anyone I knew they woulda called me down

    You can break my legs, you can kick me downstairs
    But there ain't no getting over Joanie Hale-Maier
    Just let me walk away
    Ah let me walk away

    And then the place ignite
    It's in my face and I'm
    Behind the bassline

    Someone that I knew but I hardly met
    Told me, it's hopeless I'm a slut for the New York Times
    She made my heart soft, worn an aiguillette on her arm
    She never been to Texas, never heard of King Kong
    And it'd been so long since I'd been suitably high

    So we did an Airborne, settled in for the night

    Tell me sweetness don't somehow reach your heart
    Until you fall flat down and you can't wait to start
    This is the one cold truth we've all of us known
    As I think to myself this could be easy or I could face it alone

    And then the place ignite
    All out of grace and I'm
    Behind the bassline

    It can't all be boiled away
    I try but I can't let go of it
    Can't let go of it,

    Cause you don't talk to the water boy
    and there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know,
    You will not back up an inch ever,

    8. My Little Japanese Cigarette Case
    It's just my Japanese cigarette case,
    bring a mirror to my face
    let all my memories be gone

    Bring me my Japanese cigarette case,
    bring a mirror to my face,
    oh, let all my memories be gone

    Bring me my Japanese cigarette case,
    break a mirror to my face
    oh, let all my memories be gone

    It's just my Japanese cigarette case,
    bring a mirror to my face
    let all my memories be gone

    9. Finer Feelings
    Memphis comes creeping down my back
    Somehow this place tastes just like an attack
    A hundred-yard-stare of a kiss
    Lord, I know I'll never miss it

    They told me stop scouting the field
    They told me have a look in commercial appeal
    And start getting that hair cut sharp

    Sometimes I think that I'll find a love
    One that's gonna change my heart
    I'll find it in commercial appeal
    And then this heartache'll get chased away

    I was part-time at the Tasty Prawn
    That and moving furniture and cutting lawns
    Covered in newsprint, staying up real late
    Just holding out for some fate

    Sometimes I think that I'll find a love
    One that's gonna change my heart
    I'll find it in commercial appeal
    And then this heartache'll get chased away
    [x2]

    I was dreaming in the driver's seat
    When the right words just came to me
    And all my finer feelings came up

    Always out on some witch's hunt
    For the one who never lets me want
    Before you know it it's all fuss

    Sometimes I think that I'll find a love
    One that's gonna change my heart
    I'll find it in commercial appeal
    And then this heartache'll get chased away
    [x2]

    10. Black Like Me
    I believed that someone'd
    take care of me tonight

    As I walk into Dorian's
    can you see it in my eyes?
    (yeah)

    My boots are on the mend
    and they ain't walkin' home

    Street tar in summer'll do a job on your soul
    Street tar in summer'll do a job on your soul
    ooh

    Junie's watching cover shy
    My head's feeling light
    I believed that someone'd
    take care of me tonight
    anyhow, anyway, so I split
    oh just getting out of there,
    what's gonna get me out of this?

    I spent the night in the map room,
    I humanize the vacuum

    I believed that someone'd
    take care of me tonight
    Oh and as I'm lookin out at you
    can you see that in, in my eyes
    on the mend,
    now they could lead me home

    Street tar in summer
    will play a trick on your soul

    Oh Junie's got daylight
    (yeah)
    Aw it made me feel so light
    (aw yeah)
    Just something to take care of the light

    Junie's watching daylight
    (yeah)
    All there is to feel a light
    (aw yeah)
    Someone to take care of the light

    ooh
    All the weird kids up front
    (yeah)
    tell me what you know you want
    (aw yeah)
    Someone to take care of tonight... aww
