Shot in one take, here’s Metric’s “Gimme Sympathy,” another gem from our favorite Canadian band featuring our favorite alt-rock hottie-goddess, Emily Haines.
Yeah … she’s all that and then some.
Anyway remember … this website is your jukebox. If you’ve got a song you want to hear, email us … and be sure to scroll down beneath the lyrics to see all the other songs we’ve played previously.
METRIC: “GIMME SYMPATHY”
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
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’d 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”
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
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’d 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
After all of this is gone
Who’d 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”
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, “Here Comes the Sun”
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, “Here Comes the Sun”
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, “Here Comes the Sun”
