Eels: That Look You Give That Guy

Eels klinkt leuk, en dit num­mer uit hun album Hom­bre Lobo ook. Maar als je goed luis­tert naar de tekst, dan is het ineens toch wat min­der vrolijk. Echte herf­st­muziek dus.

Songtekst

I nev­er thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
I see you with your man; your eyes just shine
While he stands tall and walkin’ proud

That look you give that guy
I wan­na see
Lookin’ right at me
If I could be that guy instead of me
I’d nev­er let you down

It always seems like you’re goin’ some­where
Bet­ter than you been before
Well, I go to sleep, and I dream all night
Of you knockin’ on my door

That look you give that guy
I wan­na see
Lookin’ right at me
If I could be that guy instead of me
I’d be all I can be (x 2)

I’m noth­in’ like what I’d like to be
I’m noth­in’ much, I know it’s true
I lack the style and the pedi­gree
And my chances are so few

That look you give that guy
I wan­na see
Lookin’ right at me
If I could be that guy instead of me
I’d give you all I got

I nev­er thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
But if, let’s say, it won’t work out
You know where I can be found

That look you give that guy
I wan­na see
Lookin’ right at me
If I could be that guy instead of me
I’d nev­er let you down (x 2)
