Detox Lyrics

She's saying you're lost
She thinks it's time for you to detox
Too many tunes inside your head
Why don't you fill it up with her instead

She's not playing
But you are
She wants romance
But you want guitars
You have a song like you prefer
But you should have lent your ears to her

You're an attitude of audio
A chronic record lover
Who feeds off stereo

Just like the meat
You eat
The booze
You choose
The nicotine
The coffee
And the sugars that you need, so
You're not ready for detox
Turn on the radio
Turn on the radio

It's not healthy
You're not fit
She says if you don't quit
Then she splits
She needs silence
And not your noise
Your habit's nothing she enjoys

And you're not offering any kind of sound
A chronic vinyl player
Who can't stop spinning 'round

Just like the meat
You eat
The booze
You choose
The nicotine
The coffee
And the shirts that you need, so
You're not ready for detox
Turn on the radio
Turn on the radio
Turn on the radio

Just like the meat
You eat
The booze
You choose
The nicotine
The coffee
And the sugars that you need, so
You're not ready for detox
Turn on the radio

Just like the meat
You eat
The booze
You choose
The nicotine
The coffee
And the sugars that you need, so
You're not ready for detox
Turn on the radio
Turn on the radio

Turn on the radio...

Cover art for Detox lyrics by Millencolin

I heard that it is about an addiction to music. I just heard it for the first time this morning. VERY different from anything they have done before. Kinda poppy but still pretty good

Yes, I listened to the song at .5 speed to try and get all the lyrics, but the parts with the three dashes are where I missed it, not to mention some minor screw ups elsewhere.

But the song is definitely about having an addiction to music.

I uploaded that so you can hear the vocals much clearer. This is what I thought they were (corrections within *'s):

You've almost got it. I think its She wants romance But you want guitars

A chronic record lover who feeds off stereo

I'm pretty sure about the first one. Not as sure about the second one

Thanks for the corrections! The lyrics have been edited and I now think they are perfect!

Cheers ojuice, what you said definitely seems correct.

bateman, you missed just one line:

"A cast that's spinning 'round"

Should be

"Who can't stop spinning 'round"

I think anyway, I could be wrong.

I'll try that out.. what technique did you use to enhance the vocals? I have an advanced CD now and wouldn't mind putting up the lyrics a little early, just in time for the Australia release.

Center Channel Extractor in Adobe Audition, powerful tool.

You have their whole album?
