The White Stripes - Icky Thump (2007) by The White Stripes (보컬) on maniadb.com

Iiiiieee. Icky Thump Whoda Thunk?
Sitting on a Train to Mexico?
Ah Well. Whatta Chump
Well My Head Gotta Bump When I Hit On The Radio
RedHead Senorita Looking Dead Came and Said
"Need a Bed?" En Espanol
I Said, "Gimme a Drink a Water
I'm Gonna 'Sing Around the Collar'
And I Don't Need a Microphone"
<Guitar Solo>
Icky Thump. With a Lump In My Throat Grabbed My Coat
And I Was Freaking I Was Ready To Go!
And I Swear Besides The Hair
She Had：One White Eye And One Black Stare
Lookin' Up Lyin' There
On The Stand Near Her Hand Was A Candy Cane
Black Rum, Sugar Cane, Dry Ice and Something Strange
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La

<keyboard Solo>
White Americans, What? Nothing Better To Do?
Why Don't You Kick Yourself Out
You're An Immigrant Too
Who's Using Who? What Should We Do?
Well, You Can't Be A Pimp And A Protitute Too

Icky Thump. Handcuffed To A Bunk Robbed Blind Looked Around
And There Was Nobody Else
Left Alone I Hit Myself With A Stone
Went Home And Learned How To Clean Up After Myself

I'm bringing back ghosts
that are no longer there
I'm gettin' hard on myself
sittin' in my easy chair
Well, there's three people in the mirror
and I'm wonderin' which one of them I should choose
Well, I can't keep from laughin'
spittin' out these 300 mile per hour outpour blues

I'm breakin' my teeth off
tryin' to bite my lip
There's all kinds of red-headed women
that I ain't supposed to kiss
And it's that color that never fails
to turn me blue
So I just swallow it and hold on to it
and use it to scare the hell out of you

I have a woman
'says come and watch me bleed
And I'm wonderin' just how I can do that
and still give her everything that she needs
Well, there's three people in my head that have the answer
and one of them's got to be you
But you're holding tight to it -- the answer
singin' these three hundred mile per hour outpour blues

Put on gloves, a tied scarf and wrap up warm
on this winter night
Everytime you get defensive
you're just looking for a fight
It's safe to sing somebody out there's got a problem
with almost anything you'll do
Well, next time they stab you don't fight back just play the victim
instead of playin' the fool
And the roads are covered with a million
little molecules
Of cigarette ashes and the school floors are covered
with pieces of pencil eraser too
Well sooner or later the ground's gonna be holdin' all
of my ashes too
But I can't help but wonder if after I'm gone will I still have these three hundred mile per hour, finger breaking, no answers makin', battered dirty hands, bee stung and busted up, empty cup torrential outpour blues

One thing's for sure: in that graveyard
I'm gonna have the shiniest pair of shoes

conquest!

he was out to make a conquest
didn't care what harm was done
just as long as he won
the prize

conquest!

she was just another conquest
didn't care who's heart was broke
love to him was a joke
until he looked into her eyes

and then in the strange way things happen
their roles were reversed from that day
the hunted became the huntress
the hunter became the prey

conquest!

now you know who made the conquest
she, with all her female guile
led him helpless down the aisle
she had finally made a conquest

a-a-a-aaaaah!

Singing
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh

Well the hills are pretty and rollin'
But the thorn is sharp and swollen
And the man plays a beautiful whistle
But he wears a prickly thistle

Singing
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh

The silver birches pierce through an icy fog
Which covers the ground most daily
And the angels which carry St. Andrew high
Are singing a tune most gaily

One sound can hold back a thousand hands
When the pipe plays a tune forlorn
And the thistle is a prickly flower
Aye, But how it is sweetly worn

Singing
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh

This battle is in the air
I'm looking upwards
Where are the angels?
I'm not in my home

St. Andrew don't forsake me
St. Andrew
Don't forsake me

Who is here to greet me?
The children are kind
I'm not in my home
I travel backwards in ecstasy
Where are the angels?
Don't forget me

St. Andrew
I've been true
What do I need to say?
What do I need to say?

1,2,3,4!

Well every highway that i go down seems to be longer than the last one that i knew about, ow well

And every girl that i walk around seems to be more of an illusion than the last one i found, ow well

And there's so many in front of me
wearing ?? and ruby rings
It's like a ?? explosion with these things

With every change to set himself on fire, he just keeps doing the same thing


??????????

There was a time when all i wanted was my ice cream cold and a little cream soda, ow well, ow well

And a wooden box and a ?? full of rocks was all i had tocare about, ow well, ow well, ow well

There's nothing left for me to tell you

Nothing left for me to tell you
Nothing left
Ow well
Ow well

Meg:Rag and Bone!
Jack:Rag and Bone!
Meg: Rag and Bone!
Jack: Rag and Bone!

Jack: Meg, look at this place
(Meg: What? Ooh!)
Jack: its like a mansion! Look at all this stuff!
(Meg: I dunno)
Look, I see something over there

Well
can't you hear us yelling "rag and bone"?
Bring out your junk
And we'll give it a home
A broken trumpet,
Or a telephone
A c'mon, a c'mon, a c'mon
C'mon and give it to me.

Yah

A c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon and give it to me
Rag and bone
Rag and bone
A c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon and give it to me
All of your pretty, your pretty little rags and bones.

Jack: well, man, look at all this
(Meg: I could use that)
You don't want it? You sure you don't want it, man? I can use this. Take it.

Its just things you don't want.
I can use them.
Meg can use them. (Meg: mhm)
We can do something with them.
We can make something out of them. (Meg: mhm)
Make some money out of them at least.
Meg: mhm. This fits me perfect
Give it to me.

Jack: Hey, if you ain't gonna use it
Just give it to us
We'll give it a home

Well, Have you got something shiny for me?
Anybody got a Christmas tree?
Can you part with a toilet seat?
A jump up, a jump up, a jump up
C'mon and give it to me.

Rag and bone
We wanna get it granny
While it's hot.
You think it's trash granny
but it's not
A give up, a give up, a give up
C'mon and give it to us.

Rag and bone
All of your pretty
Your pretty little rags and bones

Meg: I saw some stuff in the yard, are you gonna give it to us?
(Jack: aw, aw Meg don't be rude)
or not?
Jack: They might need it. If you don't want it we'll take it. If you don't wanna give it to us we'll keep on walking by.
We keep going, but we're not tired, but
plenty of places to go,
plenty of places we ain't been to yet.

On the west side
the southwest side
Middle East
Rich House,
Dog House,
Outhouse,
Old Folks House,
House for unwed mothers,
Halfway Homes,
Catacombs,
Twilight zones.
Looking for techniques, turntables, to gramaphones.

So take a last lick of your ice cream cone,
And lock up what you still wanna own.
But please be kind
(Meg: take your time)
And dont' rewind
(Meg: it's fine)
All of your pretty,
Your pretty little rags and bones.

Yah.
Your pretty little rags and bones.
A jump up, a jump up, a jump up,
c'mon and give it me.

Oh-oh-oh
Your pretty little rags and bones
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon,
c'mon and give 'em to us.

Jack: Ya!
Meg: ya!
Jack and Meg: ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya YA!

She was sixteen and six feet tall
in a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo
She stumbled started to slip and fall
teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
I happened to catch her and said,
"maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"

Maybe for you, now

But not as shaky as I must have seemed
talkin' junk through her giggle -- little teenage dream
And on the phone I could not compete
my dumb-love fake competence was getting weak
For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet
but sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice
I heard myself speak

I could stay a while
but sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
but one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we could share a kiss
but I feel like I can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
but I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone

Leave you alone, now

I'm beginning to like you
so you probably won't get what I'm going to do
I'm walkin' away from you
it probably don't make much sense to you
But I'm trying to save you
from all of the things that I'll probably say or do

Probably do

I could stay a while
but sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
but one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we might share a kiss
but I feel like a can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
but I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone

Leave you alone, now

You probably call me a fool
and say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do
And I'm beginning to like you
it's a shame; what a lame way to live
But what can I co
I hope you appreciate what I do

On my martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you, now
A martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you

(If you go looking for hot water
Don't act shocked when you get
Burned a little bit)

If you really want some hot water
I can help you find it

Oh
Oh
Ah yeah

Well if they catch me around
You're playing rock the boat
I'm gonna catch hell

And if you're throwing your voice
In bed singing a note
I'm gonna catch hell
I know it

Yes, alright
Try and catch me

Oh yeah

Tricky, tricky
Yeah

Oh
Oh

If you're getting chick (?)
Lying to yourself
You're gonna catch hell

And if you're testing God
Lying to his face
You're gonna catch hell
C'mon

Hey
That's it
They're gonna catch you
Ha, they're gonna catch you

(Easy)

I guess you have to have a probelm
if you want to invent a contraption
well you cause a trainwreck
and then you put me in traction
first came an action
and then a reaction
but you can't switch 'em round
for your own satisfaction
well you burnt my house down
and then got mad at my reaction

well in every complicated situation
there's a human relation
makin' sense of it all
take a whole lot of concentration
well you can't blame a baby
for her pregnant ma
and if there's one of these
unavoidable laws

its just that you can't just take the effect and make it the cause

well you can't take the effect
and make it the cause
i didn't rob a bank
cos you made up the law
blame me for robbing peter
don't you blame paul
can't take the effect
and make it the cause

i aint the reason that you gave me
no reason to return your call
you built a house of cards
and got shocked when you saw them fall
well i aint saying i'm innocent
in fact the reverse
but if your heading to the grave
don't blame the hearse
you're like a little girl yelling at her brother
cos you lost his ball

you keep blaming me for what you did
and that aint all
the way you clean up the wreck
is enough to give one pause
you seem to forget just how this all started
i'm reacting to you
cos you left me broken hearted

its just that you can't just take the effect and make it the cause

well you can't take the effect
and make it the cause
i didn't rob a bank
cos you made up the law
blame me for robbing peter
don't you blame paul
can't take the effect
and make it the cause
