The Strokes, Indie rock band from New York, fronted by Julian Casablancas. Seen them a few times live, including a drive down to Cardiff and back in one night in which they didn’t come on stage until gone 10 (after a 2 hour delay, reason unknown) then played until nearly midnight. That was a tough drive home, I’d only passed my test a few months before.

“And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said, “oh, I can wait”
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
And for the record, it’s between you and I “

“When we go back
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watched the TV
Forget what I’m told
I am too young
And they are too old
I’ll make it you see
I’m nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
I’ll take the next train
I try, but you see
It’s hard to explain “

“Things in bars that people do
When no one wants to talk to you
Failing can be quite a breeze
He told me that these girls were easy
Happy that you said you’d mount me
Felt unlucky when you found me
Some nights come up empty handed
Yes, I’ll take itWait now
By the sidewalk
Hold on
Yes, I’ll be right back
Oh, I can’t win”
