Be Above It
Paroles de la chanson Be Above It par Tame Impala
Gotta be above it

And I know that I gotta be above it now
And I know that I can't let them bring me down
And I gotta bide my time as a face in the crowd
And I know that I gotta be above it now
And I know that I gotta be above it now
And I gotta bide my time as a face in the crowd
I know that I gotta be above it now
And I can't let them all just bring me down

This time I'm just gonna take it
Or I'm never gonna shake it
I'll just close my eyes and make it so that
All those little things don't affect me, now


Know that I gotta be above it now
And I can't let them all just bring me down

This time I'm just gonna take it
Or I'm never gonna shake it
I'll just close my eyes and make it so that
All these little things don't affect me now
Endors Toi
Paroles de la chanson Endors Toi par Tame Impala
Soothing repeat
I look down at my feet
It's a hypnotist's arm
And it works like a charm
But I won't be deprived
Real world, surreal life
Do or die, there is time
Go to sleep, you'll be fine
In the morning you'll find
Real life was such a grind
Off I go, day is done
Where a new one's just begun
Apocalypse Dreams
Paroles de la chanson Apocalypse Dreams par Tame Impala
This could be the day that we push through
It could be the day that all our dreams come true
For me and you
Till we're at the end of just another day
Are you too terrified to try your best?
Just to end up with an educated guess
Like success
Like those times you wake up mystified

Oh, it feels so real in my sleep
Never held something so close I couldn't keep
Into the day, the strangest feeling
Do you really live without the fear that

Everything is changing?
And there's nothing I can do

My world is turning pages
While I am just sitting here

Well, am I getting closer?
Will I ever get there?
Does it even matter?
Do I really need it?
Push it out the window
On and on, we all go
(This could be the day that we push through)
Into another morning
Doesn't even matter
It was only yesterday
(It could be the day that all our dreams come true)
Didn't even know you
Now I'm gonna miss you
(Oh, it feels so real in my sleep

Never held something so close I couldn't...)

Nothing ever changes
No matter how long you do your hair
Looks the same to everyone else
Everything is changing
I guess I should warn my mum
But she'll just be excited
Mind Mischief
Paroles de la chanson Mind Mischief par Tame Impala
Feels like my life is ready to blow
Me and my love, will take it slow
I hope she knows that I love her alone
I just don't know where the hell I belong

How optimism led me astray
Two hundred things I took the wrong way
But I saw her love gauge runnin' low
I tried to fill but it overflowed

Feels like my life is ready to blow
Me and my love will take it slow
I hope she knows that I love her alone
I just don't know where the hell I belong

She remembers my name

Could be blowin' way out
It's all going to change
She remembers my name

She was only messing around
Please, no more playing with my heart
Ooh, go with Mr. Right just for once
(Then it all just came out)
Ooh, no more mischief with my mind
(Guess I'll hold in, next time...)

No more gettin' it wrong
I'll be frozen, here on
If forever, we'll see
No more guessin' for me

Oh, I was just so sure of everything
That's what you get for dreamin' aloud

(Then it all just came out)
(Guess I'll hold in, now on)
(If forever, we'll see)
Oh, the day that words are clearer for me
(But no more guessing for me)
Music To Walk Home By
Paroles de la chanson Music To Walk Home By par Tame Impala
But that's only when I think of you,
Some vision that I hold on to,
You know it's everything I do,
You know it's everything I do.

Can almost stand competing with the others
Can almost hear the fun that I should be having.
Instead of all this dreaming...

But it's only when I think of you,
The mover I could turn into,
There must be something I can do,
There must be something I can do.

But I just don't know
How to feel right,

A beautiful girl
Is wasting my life,
I'm playing a part
As somebody else,
While trying so hard
To be myself.
I just need to hear
Somebody say,
That this will make sense one day.
I guess I'm alright
But they're all doing so well,
What I would give
To be under that spell...

You'll know soon.

In so many ways
I'm somebody else

I'm trying so hard
To be myself.
I just need to hear
Somebody say
That this will all make
Sense one day.

Well it's getting late
I'd better go
I made it this far
As far as I know.
Why Won't They Talk To Me?
Out of this zone, try to deceive, I'm so alone, nothing for me
I guess I'll go home, try to be sane, try to pretend all of it happened
Oh, there's no tree, lonely old me, whoopsee daisy, I thought I was happy, oh
Out of this zone, now that I see, I don't need them and they don't need me
I guess I'll go home, try to be sane, try to pretend all of it happened
There's no need to be, lonely old me, whoopsee daisy, I thought I was happy, oh



Ah, why won't they talk to me? (I thought I was happy)

Ah, why won't they talk to me? (I thought I was happy)

Ah, why won't they talk to me? (I thought I was happy)

Ah, why won't they talk to me? (Aaaah-aaaah...)

Ah, why won't they talk to me?



But I don't really care about it anyway

I wouldn't listen to a word any others say

They just talk about themselves all day

One day they'll be standing beside me



Ah, why won't they talk to me?

Ah, why won't they talk to me?

Ah, why won't they talk to me?

Ah, why won't they talk to me?

Ah, why won't they talk to me?
Feels Like We Only Go Backwards
Paroles de la chanson Feels Like We Only Go Backwards par Tame Impala
It feels like I only go backwards, baby
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards, darling.

I know that you think, you sound
Silly when you call my name (my name)
But I hear it inside my head all day.
When I realize I'm just holding onto
The hope that maybe
Your feelings don't show...

It feels like I only go backwards, baby.
Every part of me says go ahead.
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards, darling.


The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no,
'Cause I decided long ago.
But that's the way it seems to go when trying
So hard to get to something real,
It feels...

It feels like I only go backwards, darling,
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards, darlin'.

Feels like I only go backwards, baby,
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards, darling.

Feels like I only go backwards, baby,

Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards, darling.
Keep On Lying
Paroles de la chanson Keep On Lying par Tame Impala
All I give are little clues
Maybe one day I'll get through
There is nothing I can do
I just keep on lying to you

I only need to say it's true
Only heart already knew
But there is nothing you can do
I just keep on lying to you,

Should my cover ever blow
Would you ever let it go
There is something you should know
But hell if I'd ever let it show

So here I am trying to be strong

It was noon and my shadow's long
I guess I'll go a day just as soon
As I get to the end of this song,
To the end of this song,
To the end of this song,
To the end of this song,
To the end of this song...

You won't be alone
Take all you can
Please understand
That it never really was love

All I give are little clues
Maybe one day I'll get through
There is nothing they could do
I just keep on lying to you
Elephant
Paroles de la chanson Elephant par Tame Impala
Well, he feels like an elephant
Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it
He knows that you're dreaming about being loved by him.

Too bad your chances are slim

And it's not like mister shook to get shy when they ask him who is on top
There must be something deep down in the dark down there

He's not too easily scared

He's got friends but they got fear
Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared

Oh, look see there he is now coming down the stairs

Here he comes

He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac
'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back
He talks like his opinion is a simple fact

Somebody grabbed his collar
He cried the whole way home
No one been remembered a thing when they saw him again

That's how it is 'til the end
Yeah
She Just Won't Believe Me
But she just won't believe me, she just won't believe me
I never meant to see him but she just won't believe me
Nothing That Has Happened So Far Has Been Anything We Could Control
Paroles de la chanson Nothing That Has Happened So Far Has Been Anything We Could Control par Tame Impala
Nothing that has happened so far has been anything we could control
I am just here waiting for the perfect time to tell you I don't know
Maybe I'm just reading into it a little deeper than I should
We would make it easy, we would take it slowly if only we could

[Parlé:]
Hey, what are you doing out here?
You're thinking about everything, aren't you?
I know it's crazy, just don't think of it like that
Nothing has to mean anything
Come on, come back inside


Melody, look at me
Unless you're trying to hurt me
Heavy blow, down I go
Now I just want to let go
Is it right? Is it wrong? I don't know
It's not the cause I'm fighting for anymore
But it sucks to keep on running
Eventually, there will be
A time for clearer thinking
For now, I weep, can't get to sleep
I try to hold a good feeling
I just get one, here it comes, there it goes
Now we just might lose the fight, yeah
But it's alright, it wasn't our decision

Nothing that has happened so far has been anything we could control

I am just here waiting for the perfect time to tell you what I know
Every man is happy until happiness is suddenly a goal
I'll just be here waiting 'til the doctor calls and then I'll let you know
Sun's Coming Up
All those things I ever thought would never end
I think there now old memories since we ran the band
Watch the airplanes swaying, coming in to land
Then my world is hanging in someone else's hands
And if I've done something, you have to let me go
Think of me as someone, someone that you know

But if I don't hear something, pretty soon from now

Ill disconnect completely, see how that works out



I wasn't daring not much at chances

Oh my darling, why won't you answer?

Seven AM, midnight is over

Sun's coming up now, I guess it's over

Playing his guitar while he's dying of cancer

Oh my father, why won't you answer?

Seven AM, midnight is over

Suns comin up now, I guess it's over
