Hoist the Colours (feat. Bobby Waters & Luke Taylor) - The Wellermen

I get myself twisted in threads to meet you at the Alcott I go to the corner in the back where you'd always be And there you are sitting as usual with your golden notebook Writing something about someone who used to be me And the last thing you wanted Is the first thing I do I tell you my problems You tell me the truth It's the last thing you wanted It's the first thing I'd do I tell you that I think I'm falling Back in love with you I sit there silently waiting for you to look up I see you smiling and you see it's me I had to do something to break into your golden thinking How many times will I do this and you'll still believe? It's the last thing you wanted (Tell me, which side are you on, dear?) It's the first thing you'd do (Give me some tips to forget you) You tell me your problems (Have I become one of your problems?) I tell you the truth (Could it be easy this once?) It's the last thing you wanted (This mind is a landmine) It's the first thing I'd do (Did my love aid and abet you?) I tell you that I think I'm falling Back in love with you And I'll ruin it all over And I'll ruin it all for you I'll ruin it all over And over, like I always do (Oh, why don't you?) I'll ruin it all over (Rain on my parade) I'll ruin it for you (Shred my evening gown) I'll ruin it all over (Read my sentence out loud) And over, like I always do ('Cause I love this curse on our house) It's the last thing you wanted (Tell me, which side are you on, dear?) It's the first thing I'd do (Give me some tips to forget you) I'll tell you my problems (Have I become one of your problems?) And you tell me the truth (Could it be easy this once?) It's the last thing I wanted (This mind is a landmine) It's the first thing I do (Did my love aid and abet you?) I tell you that I think I'm falling Back in love Back in love Back in love with you Back in love with you

I would be complex I would be cool They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to And that would be ok For me to do Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you I'd be a fearless leader I'd be an alpha type When everyone believes ya What's that like? I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man And I'm so sick of them coming at me again 'Cause if I was a man Then I'd be the man I'd be the man I'd be the man They'd say I hustled Put in the work They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve What I was wearing If I was rude Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves? And they would toast to me, oh Let the players play I'd be just like Leo In Saint-Tropez I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man And I'm so sick of them coming at me again 'Cause if I was a man Then I'd be the man I'd be the man I'd be the man What's it like to brag about Raking in dollars And getting bitches and models And it's all good if you're bad And it's okay if you're mad If I was out flashing my dollars I'd be a bitch, not a baller They paint me out to be bad So it's okay that I'm mad I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (you know that) And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (coming at me again) 'Cause if I was a man (if I was a man) Then I'd be the man (then I'd be the man) I'm so sick of running as fast as I can (as fast as I can) Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (hey) And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (coming at me again) 'Cause if I was a man (if I was a man), then I'd be the man I'd be the man I'd be the man (oh) I'd be the man (yeah) I'd be the man (I'd be the man) If I was a man Then I'd be the man

In the heat of the fight, I walked away Ignorin' words that you were sayin' Tryna make me stay I said, "This time I've had enough" And you've called a hundred times But I'm not picking up 'Cause I'm so mad, I might tell you that it's over But if you look a little closer I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door Me and my stupid pride are sittin' here alone Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone I keep goin' back over things we both said And I remember the slamming door And all the things that I misread Oh, babe, if you know everything Tell me why you couldn't see When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door And I'll scream out the window I can't even look at you I don't need you but I do, I do, I do I say, "There's nothing you can say To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it" But what I mean is I said, "Leave", but, baby, all I want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door With your face and the beautiful eyes And the conversation with the little white lies And the faded picture of a beautiful night You carried me from your car up the stairs And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress After everything I must confess, I need you

My big brother rode an Indian Scout, it was black like his jacket American Spirit hangin' outta his mouth, just like our daddy He kick-started that bike one night and broke mama's heart He pointed that headlight West, out where the wild things are He'd call me up every couple of weeks from South California Talk about the desert and the Joshua Tree and his pretty girl stories And how he bought an Air stream trailer and a J-45 guitar Said, "Little brother, you'd love it out here, out where the wild things are" Oh, oh-oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams Oh, oh-oh, the nights ignite like gasoline And light up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark Out where the wild things are I called my brother from the back of that plane the second I made it We started drinkin' on the strip in L.A. and then it got crazy Ended up at a house in the hills with some Hollywood Stars Kissin' on a blonde in a backyard pool, out where the wild things are! (Oh, yeah!) Couple of iron horse rebels wild as the devil I knew I had to move back East Said goodbye to my brother at the end of that summer But I knew he'd never leave Oh, oh-oh, it's hearts on fire and crazy dreams Oh, where the nights ignite like gasoline? And oh, oh-oh, them Indian Scouts, man, they're built for speed And oh, oh-oh, they said he hit that guard rail at half-past three Lit up those streets that never sleep when the sky goes dark We buried him, out in the wind, beneath the West Coast stars Out where the wild things are Out where the wild things are

I was working in the lab, late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab, began to rise And suddenly to my surprise (He did the mash) He did the monster mash (The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash (He did the mash) It caught on in a flash (He did the mash) He did the monster mash From my laboratory in the castle east To the master bedroom where the vampires feast The ghouls all came from their humble abodes To get a jolt from my electrodes (They did the mash) They did the monster mash (The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash (They did the mash) It caught on in a flash (They did the mash) They did the monster mash The zombies were having fun (tennis shoe, wa hoo) The party had just begun (tennis shoe, wa hoo) The guests included Wolfman, Dracula and his son The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds The coffin-bangers were about to arrive With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five' (They played the mash) They played the monster mash (The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash (They played the mash) It caught on in a flash (They played the mash) They played the monster mash Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring Seems he was troubled by just one thing He opened the lid and shook his fist and said "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist? (It's now the mash) It's now the monster mash (The monster mash) And it's a graveyard smash (It's now the mash) It's caught on in a flash (It's now the mash) It's now the monster mash Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land For you, the living, this mash was meant too When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you (Then you can mash) Then you can monster mash (The monster mash) And do my graveyard smash (Then you can mash) You'll catch on in a flash (Then you can mash) Then you can monster mash (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash) Easy Igor, you impetuous young boy (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash)

Te vi, me viste, al principio fue una broma Luego la verdad se asoma Intercambiamos sonrisas Pasó algún tiempo, poco menos de una hora Y por debajo de la mesa Tu tacón tocó mi bota Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana Después de eso nos veíamos casi a diario Nuestro amigo el calendario Nos dio 400 citas De tanto amarnos nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano Ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Fue más sencillo que hacer la tabla del uno y a la hora del desayuno Ya sabía que te amaba A las semanas de iniciar con la aventura Se nos hizo miel la luna y un concierto pa Tijuana Era prohibido, era imposible, pero hicimos lo que se nos dio la gana, yeh-hey Pasando el tiempo, analizando la ruptura, la versión que tiene el lobo No es la de Caperucita De tanto amarnos, nos volvimos dos extraños No sé quién toma hoy tu mano, ni tú, dónde estoy ahorita Seguramente pa la otra que nos veamos repitamos Lo de la primera cita, yeah, eh-eh-eh-eh Uh, mmh-mmh-mmh, mmh

Miras con tanta dulzura, hermosa criatura Tú mi bello ángel que cayó del cielo Soy un simple pobre diablo que corrió con suerte Que logró obtenerte por obra divina Pues en cada esquina te busqué Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Viniste a reconformarme, a rehabilitarme Tú mi bello ángel, yo estaba perdido Siento que después de ti yo soy otra persona Ya no me conozco, ¿qué paso conmigo? Por eso te digo que tú Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti Solo tú eres la persona La que me ilusiona, la que me emociona Por ti pierdo el rumbo y en cada segundo Me voy de este mundo con sentirte a ti Entre el cielo y el infierno Solo hay un espacio, solo hay un abismo Es que yo pierdo el ritmo cuando me abandonas Y me quedo solo, solo sin ti

Compa ¿Qué le parece esa morra? La que anda bailando sola Me gusta pa' mí Bella Ella sabe que está buena Que todos andan mirándola cómo baila Me acerco Y le tiro todo un verbo Tomamos tragos sin peros solo tentación Le dije "Voy a conquistar tu familia" Que en unos días, vas a ser mía Me dijo Que estoy muy loco, pero le gusta Que ningún vato como yo actúa Ahí te va mija Y pura doble P viejo Así no más compa Pedro puro Eslabón Armado A las plebitas (cha-chau) No soy Un vato que tiene varo Pero hablando del corazón Te cumplo todo Me agarro Pegadito de su mano Mi compa ni se la creyó Que al pasar fui yo Su cuerpo Juro por Dios, que era tan perfecta Su cintura como modelo Sus ojos Desde el principio me enamoraron A ella le gusto Y a mí me gusta
