A little thing I wanna start posting about called earworm - Gimme Sympathy by Metric

#earworm is that song that just.won't.leave.your.mind

and in the vein of @coingecko's 'What is your Favourite Song?'

Mine was by Husker Du

.. and the fact that beloved radio DJ Dave Bookman passed away today,

..i want to do this as a regular thing..

gawd know I have enough songs stuck in my head..

onward to the thing


This one's been stuck in my head since roadtripping to Pontypool..

It's about that age old question.. the question of it's time.. do you want to be the golden boys who walk on water, or the ones who fuck shit up..

Oasis? Or Blur? Beatles? or the Rolling Stones?

Listen to this...

..and tell me you can't feel it in your bones.. something better is coming. grab life.


Gimme Sympathy by Metric

Lyrics

GET HOT
GET TOO CLOSE TO THE FLAME
WILD OPEN SPACE
TALK LIKE AN OPEN BOOK
SIGN ME UP

GOT NO TIME TO TAKE A PICTURE
I'LL REMEMBER SOMEDAY
ALL THE CHANCES WE TOOK
WE'RE SO CLOSE TO SOMETHING
BETTER LEFT UNKNOWN
I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES

GIMME SYMPATHY
AFTER ALL OF THIS IS GONE
WHO WOULD YOU RATHER BE
THE BEATLES OR THE ROLLING STONES
OH SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE MISTAKES, YOU'RE YOUNG
COME ON BABY PLAY ME SOMETHING LIKE HERE COMES THE SUN

DON'T GO
STAY WITH THE ALL UNKNOWN
STAY AWAY FROM THE HOOKS
ALL THE CHANCES WE TOOK
WE'RE SO CLOSE TO SOMETHING BETTER LEFT UNKNOWN
I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES
GIMME SYMPATHY
AFTER ALL OF THIS IS GONE
WHO WOULD YOU RATHER BE
THE BEATLES OR THE ROLLING STONES
OH SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE MISTAKES, YOU'RE YOUNG
COME ON BABY PLAY ME SOMETHING LIKE HERE COMES THE SUN


Gimme Sympathy, for all the days I've wasted, and all the times I've left better off unsaid. We're only here but a second. then off to some other unknown.
