Lyrics Question

[thirsty moore]

A friend of mine was playing me this new British band and the lyrics went something along the lines of I woke up this morning, work fucking sucked, etc. etc.  It's a recent release, and I can't remember the exact words or the band name.  Any guesses?

But what about that new love song, you know, with the girl singer. What's that?
 
 Way...too...many...years...in...retail....

[thirsty moore]

It was probably by the Libertines, or Bloc Party, or one of those bands.  My internet search has turned up useless as almost every band says fuck in a song.

[beetsnotbeats]

Sorry, I thought you were joking. The question struck me as a variation on the perennial love song inquiry.

All the, small things
 True care, truth brings
 I'll take, one lift
 Your ride, best trip
 
 Always, I know
 You'll be at my show
 Watching, waiting, commiserating
 
 Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
 Na, Na.......
 
 Late night, come home
 Work sucks, I know
 She left me roses by the stairs
 Surprises let me know she cares
 
 Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
 Na, Na......
 
 Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
 Keep your head still I'll be your thrill, the night will go on, my little
 redmill
 Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
 Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill, the night will go on, the night will
 go on, my little redmill

Don't see the word fuck in there.  Nice try though Markie....

Top.  Jag, you've got to know this.  Or Kurosawa, or someone!  This is eating at me.

Not off-hand. Have a feeling that this one is more up Kurosawa's alley. I'll keep an ear out for it though.

I bet it's an Arctic Monkeys song. Do you have an actual lyric?

[thirsty moore]

Y'know, it might be them.  No lyrics off hand, just the general idea that work sucks and getting up sucks.  They use the word fuck also.

Is it possible you are listening to The Rakes: "The Guilt"? I'll get you lyrics

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

I just woke up
 Everything was fucked
 From the night before
 I was beyond repair
 I had just woke up
 Everything was wrong
 All the cats were dead
 And the phones were gone
 I had just woke up
 Like a heart attack
 I weren't coming back
 And mum was dressed in black
 I had just woke up
 I had just woke up
 Everything was fucked
 Everything was fucked
 
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 
 I had just woke up
 In someone elses bed
 She was overweight
 Who did I do last night?
 
 I felt paradise
 In between girl's thighs
 It was quick and nice
 The feelings cold as ice
 
 I could hardly walk
 And I had the shakes
 Had to eat some fruit
 Or I was gonna faint
 
 I had just woke up
 I had just woke up
 Everything was fucked
 Everything was fucked
 
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 
 I need one day a week
 For my cuts to heal
 Take every Monday off
 With my blood shot eyes
 
 If work only knew
 What I got up to
 At the weekend
 They wouldn't speak to me
 
 Or pretend to be my friends
 Take every Monday off
 With my blood shot eyes
 With my blood shot eyes
 
 I had just woke up
 I had just woke up
 Everything was fucked
 Everything was fucked
 
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 The guilt won't leave my circulation
 

Alot of their songs are about work sucking and the like, and they're a new Brit band. Sorry if this isn't it, but it's the only thing I could think of.

[thirsty moore]

That is exactly it!  Thanks.

You're welcome. Their single is similar if you like that song.
