And I Was A Boy From School lyrics:
And I was a boy from school
Helplessly helping all the rules
And there was a boy at school
Hopelessly wrestling all his fools
And there was a girl at school
Blaming all the words she learned from home
Nothing could keep her a child
Long hours don't you know we try
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
Now I met you on the street
Heartlessly breaking rules we meet
Lives are found and loves are lost
Say goodbye to nothing everything cost
Now I find you on the street
Breaking rules hopelessly we meet
Lives are found but loves are lost
Say goodbye to everything, nothing cost
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
I got, I got lost
You said this was the way back
I got, I got lost
You said this was the way back
I got, I got lost
You said this was the way back
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
We try but we didn't have long
We try but we don't belong
Written by Alexis Taylor / Joe Goddard

Hot Chip official bio:
With their witty, affecting songwriting and the immediately recognizable vocals of Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard, Hot Chip combine indie and dance in innovative ways. On early albums such as 2006's Mercury Prize-nominated The Warning, the band evoked the cleverness of Talking Heads and the poignancy of the Pet Shop Boys. As time went on, Hot Chip's music broadened and deepened, encompassing the tender musings on commitment of 2010's One Life Stand as well as the anything-goes genre mashups of 2015's Why Make Sense? With only a few hit singles to their name (chief among them the Grammy-nominated "Ready for the Floor" from Made In The Dark), Hot Chip nevertheless earned a following allowing them to headline festivals, as reflected by the rave-tinged anthems of 2019's A Bath Full of Ecstasy.
Vocalists/multi-instrumentalists Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor met in 1991, when they both attended Putney's Elliott School. During their time there, they bonded over their love of the Beastie Boys as well as American indie singer/songwriters such as Will Oldham and Bill Callahan. They also began working on their own music, and found a mentor in their schoolmate, Four Tet's Kieran Hebdan. Taylor and Goddard continued their collaboration even when they went to different universities in 1999 (Taylor studied English at Cambridge, while Goddard pursued a history degree at Oxford), and added new influences like U.K. garage, pop, and R&B to their tracks.
In 2000, Goddard and Taylor officially became Hot Chip. That March, they released the Mexico EP, a hypnotic wash of nearly subliminal, pulse-like techno beats, acoustic guitars, and plinky pianos on Victory Garden Records. After graduating from university, they returned in October 2002 with the Sanfrandisco E-Pee, which dabbled in more playful sounds such as beatboxing. The EP caught the attention of Moshi Moshi Records, which released Hot Chip's first full-length, Coming on Strong, in 2004. The duo became a full-fledged band with the addition of Owen Clarke, Al Doyle, and Felix Martin. [HCSuYv0tljw] |
