Though charmingly reverent of Bono-associated ‘80s pop-rock acts like Men at Work or Big Country, it still sounds like Foals, no mean feat considering how many bands have come along in the past couple of years that sound like them– it’s an athletic funk-rock sprint of interlocking, clean guitars, Ya...
[Chorus]
You don't have my number
But we don't need each other now
We don't need the city
The creed or the culture now
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel the streets are not pulling me down
[Verse 1]
So people of the city
I don't need your counsel now
And I don't need your good advice
'Cause you don't have my lover's touch
[Chorus]
You don't have my number
But we don't need each other now
The creed or the culture
We can move beyond it now
[Verse 2]
Now the wolf is knocking at my door
Bang-bang, it asks for more
Stand here, we stand tall
We can move beyond these walls
[Verse 3]
And I don't need your counsel
And I don't need these city streets
And I don't need that good advice
'Cause we can move beyond it now
[Chorus]
You don't have my number
We don't need each other now
The creed or the culture
You don't have my lover's touch
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel the streets are not far from here
[Bridge]
Can you even hear me?
Do you even know my name?
Can you see the ocean there?
You don't have my lover's touch
You don't have my number
You don't have my number
I wonder, can you hear me?
And are you even listening now?
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't have my number
And we don't need each other now
And you can't steal my thunder
'Cause you don't have my lover's touch
You don't have my number
And I don't need no one now
And I don't need these city streets
The creed or the culture now
[Outro]
Now
Now
