Veckans låt v.8 The Killers - This River Is Wild

För några veckor sedan så fick jag äntligen tummen ur arslet och gjorde slag i saken och "fixade" The Killers hyllade album från 2006 Sam´s Town. Jag smackade in det på podden och albumet har istort sett gått på repeat sedan dess. Hela albumet har en fantastisk kvalité men min absoluta favorit låt är den som alltså är veckans låt, This River Is Wild. Mycket är kanske för att jag är en sådan sucker för realtivt snabba verser med starka melodier och intressanta texter. Dödarna är experter på dessa. Det som jag är lite besviken på är att låtarna har lite "svaga" refränger. Men inte denna. "Should I just get along with my self? Men givetvis så har de inte gjort någon officiell video till min favvo, så ni får hålla tillgodo med denna.. /RML





The leaves are falling down on the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound
Son, I think you better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
Boy, it ain't nothin' new
Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down

You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn
I just wanna show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go

Or I should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here
All night, And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild This river is wild...

Run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn but shake a little
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk and shake a little
Sometimes I hate the line I walk
I just wanna show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go

Or I should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here, All night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
Because this river is wild
Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild

Now Adam's taking bombs
And he's stuck on his mom
Because that bitch keeps trying to make him pray
He's with the hippie in the park
Comin' over the dark, just trying to get some of that little girl play

You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
Then watch it turn, I just wanna show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go

Or I should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else...

Now the cars are everywhere
Face the dust at the fairground
I don't think I've ever seen so many headlights
But there's something pulling me
The circus and their crew
Well they're just passing through
Making sure that merry still goes 'round
But it's a long, long, long way down
