“Cody” is the second track on Mogwai’s sophomore album Come on Die Young, and is the only track on the album to feature lyrics.
The track’s title, “Cody”, can be seen as an acronym for the title of the album it was featured on.
[Verse 1]
Of all I knew, I held too few
And would you stop me, if I tried to stop you?
[Chorus]
Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all?
[Verse 2]
When I drive alone at nights, I see the streetlights as fairgrounds
And I tried a hundred times to see the road signs as Day-Glo
[Chorus]
Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all?
[Chorus]
Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all?
Cody was written by Mogwai.
Cody was produced by Dave Fridmann.
