Song of the Moment: Getaway

Post by stip »

Everyone's a critic looking back up the river
Every boat is leaking in this town
Everybody's thinking that they'll all be delivered
Sitting in a box like lost and found

But I found my place and it's alright
We all searching for our better way
Get yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe

Find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
We all could use a sedative right now
Holy rollers sittin' with their backs to the middle
All hands on deck sinking is the bow

And if you wanna have to pray, it's alright
We all be thinking with our different brains
Get yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe

It's OK,
Sometimes you find yourself
Having to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine, and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway

Science says we're making love like the lizards
Try and say that fossils ain't profound
Simon says that we are not allowed to consider
Simon says "Stand-up. Sit-down. You're Out!"

But I found my place, and it's alright
Bearing witness to some stranger days
Get yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe

It's OK
Sometimes you find yourself
Being told to change your ways
There's no way
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway

It's OK,
Sometimes you find yourself
Having to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine, and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway

It's OK,
Sometimes you find yourself
Having to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine, and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway

Make your getaway

working lyrics

everyone’s a critic looking back up the river
every boat is leaking in this town
everybody is thinking they can all be delivered
sitting in a box like lost and found

but i found my place and it’s all right
we’re all searching for a better way
get this off my plate
it’s all right
I got my own way to believe

find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
we all could use a sedative right now
holy rollers sitting with their backs to the middle
all alone and sinking ???

and if you want to have to pray
it’s all right
we all be thinking with our different brain
get this off my plate
it’s all right
I got my own way to believe

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway

science says we’re making love like the lizards
try and say that fossils ain’t profound
silence says we’re not allowed to consider
silence says stand up sit down you’re out

But I found my place
and it’s all right
I’m bearing witness to some better things
get this off my plate
it’s all right
I’ve got my own way to believe

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
there’s no way
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway

it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway
it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
for god’s sake
mine is mine and yours won’t take its place
now make your getaway

4 stars. But talk to me in a year. This could rise to five or dip to three.

I said 4. The start is non-distinct but it builds and pays off at the end. Great little opener.

4 for me. Maybe more. I like this one more than anything I've heard in awhile. Ed sounds great.

This is fucking excellent, this is what PJ are best at to me. And this is a very good example of it.

Id take a 30minutes album of song like this anytime.

Is it fossils ain’t "profound" or "been found?"

Solid 5 for the Doug versions accuracy.

If this was the main overall direction of this album I would be 100% on board with that. This with Mind Your Manners to open works big time for me.

I think this is an ed tune, right? Either way I think it's the song they've wanted to write for years. It's got that strange kings of Leon timing and the chorus.. Just love all of it.
5 stars.
