Strings And Drums Lyrics
Turn your eyes to me. I am watching every move you make.
What should I wear today on my sleeve?
And let's take a step and move away.
Underground is where we'll stay for a while.
And I will mix my tongue with strings and drums, and give my soul away.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
And you're my mystery. You are always at my fingertips.
Without you I'm just bones and skin.
And I will lick your cuts and be your bruise
Until I fade from deepest blue into white.
And I will mix my tongue with strings and drums, and give my soul away.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
And I will change my words from nouns to verbs, and never be ashamed.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
And I am writing myself clean and I am selling myself cheap and I am aching for a touch or a taste.
And I'm aching, aching, aching now.
I'm holding, holding, holding out.
I'm calling, calling, calling out to you.
And I will mix my tongue with strings and drums, and give my soul away.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
And I will mix my tongue with strings and drums, and give my soul away.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
And I will change my words from nouns to verbs, and never be ashamed.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
Strings and drums.
What should I wear today on my sleeve?
Underground is where we'll stay for a while.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
Without you I'm just bones and skin.
Until I fade from deepest blue into white.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
And I'm aching, aching, aching now.
I'm holding, holding, holding out.
I'm calling, calling, calling out to you.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.
Can you hear them come? Strings and drums.

this is one of my favourites from the new album!! but im really confused by what it means. whats meant by the line: and i will mix my tongue with strings and drums. and what's meant by 'strings and drums'? is it representing something else?? please help
mixing his tongue with strings and drums i think means that he's the voice in a band or something.. that's my stab in the dark
tongue = voice, strings (guitars), drums (.....drums...)
Makes me think of expressing yourself through music... mixing your tongue with strings and drums = making music, give your soul away= expressing yourself
ok... Im pretty sure this song is about scene music - parkway drive, bring me the horion ect ect. All that untalented c***. What should i ware on my SLEVE, nouns to verbs, if u put it into that context it makes perfect sence the whole song. i remember them live sayin stuff about scene music cuz they REALLY HATE IT. SAme with that song "spray on pants" watch the film clip you'll know wat i mean. but i really wish they would stop writing songs about those stupid music fads cuz it will just disapear over time :P
