The Strokes - Hard To Explain



Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control

Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

Oh, we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same

Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way

Raised in Carolina
"I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right things, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
"You're right it's true"

Says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great

Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember

Raised in Carolina, she says:
" I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back

I say the right things but act the wrong way
I like it right here but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Oh, man, can't you see I'm nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I miss the last bus, we take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain

The Strokes - Last Night



Last night she said
Oh, Baby, I feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned around
Oh, baby, I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door

Well, I've been in town
For just about fifteen whole minutes now
Oh, Baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walking for miles

But the people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this I ain't ever gonna understand

Last night she said
Oh, Baby, don't feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned around
Oh, Baby, I'm gonna be alright
It was a great big lie
'Cus I left that night, yeah

Oh, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they don't understand
In spaceships, they won't understand
And me, I ain't ever gonna understand

Last night she said
Oh, Baby, I feel so down
She had turned me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned around
Oh, little girl, I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door, yeah

The Strokes - Soma



Soma is what they would take when
hard times opened their eyes
saw pain in a new way
high stakes for a few names
racing against sunbeams
losing against their dreams
in your eyes
and I am stop and go
in your eyes,
see I am stop and go
in your eyes
let's go
when I saw her for the first time
lips moved as her eyes closed
heard something in his voice
and I'll be there
he says
then he walks out
somehow he was trying
too hard to be like them
and I am stop and go
in your eyes
and I am stop
oh, darling, let me go
tried it once and they like it
and tried to hide it
says I've been doing this twenty five years
well I'm not listening no more
and these friends they keep asking for more
oh, yeah
oh, but that's it

The Strokes - Reptilia



He seemed impressed by the way you came in.
"Tell us a story
I know you're not boring"

I was afraid that you would not insist.
"You sound so sleepy
just take this, now leave me"

I said please don't slow me down
If I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over,
I'm now taking over,
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough.

Now every time that I look at myself
"I thought I told you
this world is not for you"

The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair
"you sound so angry
just calm down, you found me"

I said please don't slow me down
If I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I'm now taking over,
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough.

The Strokes - You One Live Once



Some people think they're always right.
Others are quiet and uptight.
Others they seem so very nice (nice nice nice oh-ho).
Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no).

Twenty-nine different attributes.
Only seven that you like (oh-ho).
Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho).
Twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho).

(Oh don't don't) Don't get up.
I can't see the sunshine.
I'll be waiting for you baby,
'Cause I'm through.
Sit me down.
Shut me up.
I'll calm down
and I'll get along with you.

Oh men don't notice what they got.
Women think of that a lot.
One thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho).
Not even one requires a plan (I know).

(And) Countless odd religions too.
It doesn't matter which you choose (oh no).
One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho).
This I've tried, and now refuse (oh-ho).

(Don't don't) Don't get up.
I can't see the sunshine.
I'll be waiting for you baby,
'Cause I'm through.
Sit me down.
Shut me up.
I'll calm down
and I'll get along with you.

(Alright)

Shut me up
Shut me up
And I'll get along with you...
