It’s all what it ain’t
It’s all but it ain’t
So where do I start?
It’s only so vain
So what did I gain?
I gave it my heart
I told myself, if I had the wealth
I could buy my way out of everything
Why’d I have to be such trouble to please?
It wouldn’t be me, oh if it was easy, if it was easy
Such trouble to please
It wouldn’t be easy, if it was me
Why’d I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Why’d I have to go and break what can’t be fixed?
It’s all what it ain’t
It’s all but it ain’t
So where does it start?
I want what I had
I want it so bad
I gave it my heart
I told myself, if I had the wealth
I could buy my way out of everything
Why’d I have to be such trouble to please?
It wouldn’t be me, oh if it was easy, if it was easy
Such trouble to please
It wouldn’t be easy, if it was me
Why’d I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Why’d I have to go and break what can’t be fixed?
Why’d I have to be such trouble to please?
It wouldn’t be me, oh if it was easy, if it was easy
Such trouble to please
It wouldn’t be easy, if it was me
Why’d I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Why’d I have to go and break what can’t be fixed? (x2)
Why’d I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Sounds kinda like Depeche Mode damn,,, luv the song ,,,, Favorite on new album ...This is so like METRIc to change song up in middle works well... New Album growing on me but Fantasies will always be a album i will never ever forget... MY favorite album of all time ...Luv this band forever ,,, You rock Emily ...God sounds like Depeche Mode
I love Metric. Where is the other half of this album? They said they had recorded a ton of songs and would release them soon after this, love it, but WTH?
The initial keyboard sound is classic DM, but then the plunky guitars are straight from the New Order playbook (and The Cure at times). The synth strings could be any of those three, as they all used the Yamaha DX-7, which was all the rage then. BUT...am I the only one who hears ABBA in the chorus??? :-)
