A perfect taster of why Alt-J won the fiery acclaim of the Mercury Prize, Something Good is a mix of ghostly harmonies, shuffling drums and folk guitars that should be pretentious.
Instead, it’s like the future of music. Everything is good in their world.
The song is featured in the 2015 video gam...
[Chorus]
Something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good tonight
Will make me forget about you for now
[Bridge]
Get high, hit the floor before you go
Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport
[Chorus]
But something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good tonight
Will make me forget about you for now
[Verse 1]
Forty-eight thousand seats
Bleats and roars for my memories of you
Now that I'm fully clean
The matador is no more and is dragged from view
[Bridge]
Get high, hit the floor before you go
Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport
[Verse 2]
Forty-eight thousand seats
Bleats and roars for my memories of you
Now that I am clean
The matador is no more and is dragged from view
[Chorus]
But something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good
Oh, something good tonight
Will make me forget about you for now
