"The Police And The Private"
Get straight and wait here while I try to find the exit sign
When will you stop asking strangers, no one wants what we want
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bag
Never expect to be sure
You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
The doctor, the writer, the hairdresser,
Felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing mama
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing something I don't got
There's a place that ends here I know
When they close the gates I'll cry
So tired of never sleeping
The whole world wants what we're on
Didn't make this up I learned, I learned it from a friend
My friend is coming clean, she told me
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bed
Never expect to be sure who you're working for
You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
The doctor, the writer, the garbage collector
Felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing mama
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing mama
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing mama
Lord lord mother were all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing love
Got to get out
Got to get to you, the orphanage is closing in an hour

Kau rasa lagu ni pasal apa ya?
ReplyDeletependapat aku lagu ni pasal "system" dan masalah itu sendiri,sebabnya band ni lyric die dari album lain pun ada yg sama jugak.apa2 pun kita telan melody dia dulu hehe.
ReplyDeletedan kau rasa,agak2 tentang apa pulak?
Oh. Entahlah aku pun tak pasti. Sekali baca macam pasal drugs. Abuser/pusher trying to quit. Moodnya sangat paranoid.
ReplyDeleteAku tak biasa dengar Metric. Jadi mungkin salah kot. Haha.
Tapi, aku suka lagu ni. Thanks for sharing! =D
Eh xda la sampai salah,memang tak dinafikan ada juga content pasal drugs.
ReplyDelete"Get straight, wait here while I try to find the exit sign" - ni juga kuat untuk menceritakan tentang drugs life itu sendiri.
mcm aku ckp td aku mula dari telan melody lepas tu lirik,sb mungkin aku musician jadi imagination aku ke arah structure lagu dan elemen-elemen dalam music itu sendiri. "soul" lebih org ckp.haha..thanks k aku tahu kau pun ada mendengar lagu2 yg hebat boleh la kita kongsi :)
