“Silvertongue” is the 5th song released from Young the Giant’s third studio album Home of The Strange.
To be “silver tongued” means to have a way with words, especially when persuading others. Lead singer Sameer Gadhia explains the ill things he achieves with his eloquence in this track.
[Verse 1]
Ah ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-a-a-ah, ahh
Trying to think of a way to get started (Hehe)
Stutter my flow, train of thought just departed
Taste of Mezcal on my breath
Let me get this off your chest
Open my mouth, all the gems falling out
Make you lose control
[Chorus]
Oh, girl, I've got that silver tongue
Got, got that silver (Ah)
Silver tongue (Hey)
Drives you into delirium
Got, got that silver (Uh)
Got that silver tongue like (O-o-oh)
I'm addicted to madness, but what can I say? (Sa-a-ay)
I'm addicted to badness, but what can I do?
I got my silver tongue (Hey)
[Verse 2]
Ah ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-a-a-ah, ahh
Clothes on the floor, but the bed's on the ceiling
Slurring my lines, but I'm nailing the meaning (Uh)
I'll say what you want me to say
But talk only gets in the way
Rolling our eyes, no more words to describe how we
Lose control
[Chorus]
Oh, girl, I've got that silver tongue
Got, got that silver (Ah)
Silver tongue (Hey)
Drives you into delirium
Got, got that silver (Uh)
Got that silver tongue like (O-o-h)
I'm addicted to madness, but what can I say? (Sa-a-ay)
I'm addicted to badness, but what can I do?
I got my silver tongue (Hey)
[Bridge]
(Na na na)
I've got nothing on you
And all the things you do (Oh)
(Na na na)
Yeah, I've got nothing on you (Ah)
[Chorus]
Oh, girl, I've got that silver tongue
Got, got that silver (Ah)
Silver tongue (Hey)
Drives you into delirium
Got, got that silver (Uh)
Got that silver tongue like (O-o-oh)
I'm addicted to madness, but what can I say? (Sa-a-ay)
I'm addicted to badness, but what can I do?
I got my silver tongue (Hey)
Ah ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-a-a-ah, ahh
