Whatever (Live) [iTunes Festival: London 2007]

[Intro]
"So this one's about that guy again that, that guy... and it's called 'Whatever'. Yes, yes. It's 'cause, yeah, he's celibate, whatever and that kind of thing. And he kept saying 'whatever' as well. It's the first time 'cause I'd- I went to- he was American. He was from Detroit. Great. If I could have a boyfriend in like somewhere nice like Alaska, somewhere, but it's like Flint, Michigan, which is like one of the most violent areas in the States. No, it's not. So, anyway, this is called 'Whatever' because it really, it was a really long distance relationship and (a) we didn't have any sex because he was celibate and I could never really get him on the phone and it was just like not very good, really. So I stuck it out for a year and then I was like 'eh'. So this is, um, this is 'Whatever'."

[False Start]
Oh you, you come to me
Oh, so perfectly, oh yeah
So perfectly made
And you're all that you are
And you're...
"Hello? Is there..? Is there any sound? Wha-? Did it just suddenly go off? Oh, yippidy-skippidy-do."

[Piano Improvisation]

[Intro]
"Is it fixed yet? Okay, tell you what. Should we? What could we do? Hello. It's crashed again. It's that thing that it did earlier that actually no-one knew it was doing earlier and... I have to talk out really loud 'cause... can you hear me? Can you hear me through that? I feel... it is.. maybe? I love it, 'cause usually it's me up here going - oh my god! Usually it's me up here going 'Why the hell isn't it working? What's going on?' 'cause I've usually got like a million samplers trying to talk to each other so I like that it's not me. So are we ready yet? Yeah? He's gonna give it a check on his walkie-talkie. We're gonna give it a go. What? Damn right... Right, so here we go, this is 'Whatever'."

[Verse 1]
Oh you, you come to me
Oh, so perfectly, oh yeah
So perfectly made
And you're all that you are
And you're all that you said
You're so exquisitely bred
Oh, baby, what more can I say?
Oh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
So, hey-no
I guess it's alright
Oh, no-no
I guess it's alright, whatever
Mmm, no-no
I guess it's alright
Hey, no-no
I guess it's alright

[Verse 2]
And I, I hate ya for
Oh, for letting me fall for you
Just like a fool
And now I'm all psyching out, yeah
Mmm 'cause all we're about
Is this ugly phone and it's all I have
To look forward to, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, no-no
I guess it's alright, yeah
Hey, no-no
I guess it's alright, whatever
No, no-no
I guess it's alright
Hey, no-no
I guess it's alright

[Bridge]
Dreaming, of you lying in my bed
Just like how we were just days before
Oh, just leave me, just get out of my head
'Cause I can't take this torture any more
No, no, anymore
Anymore, no, no

[Breakdown]
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever

[Interlude]
You're so far away
Why are you so far away?
You're so far away
Why are you so far away from me?

[Chorus]
Hey, no-no
I guess it's alright
Hey, no-no
I guess it's alright, whatever
Oh, no-no
I guess it's alright
Hey, no-no
I guess it's alright, whatever

[Chorus]
Oh, no-no
I guess it's alright
Oh, no-no
I guess it's alright, whatever
Oh, no-no
I guess it's alright
Oh, no-no
I guess it's alright, whatever
