I Know What I Am Lyrics

Hi ho, tripper's out cold
I've got a feeling like a tired old flow
I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be

Gasoline, saccharinne
I've got no reason for the state I'm in
But I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be

Hotel, Taco Bell
I got the hit but you know damned well
But I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be

Cut teeth, bet a belief
I've got a feeling that I'm underneath
But I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be

But it's alright, it's okay
I got the time but the time don't pay
It's alright, it's okay
I got the time but the time don't pay
It's alright, it's okay
I got the time but the time don't pay
It's alright, it's okay!

Flick flack, no slack
I've got the wit that my enemies lack
But I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be

Trick some, just begun
I'm givin' you more when you only want one
But I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be

Hot sweat, got debt
Keep your licker in the locker 'cos you don't know yet
But I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be

Ship shape, ticker tape
Looks to me like a narrow escape
But I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be

But it's alright, it's okay
I got the time but the time don't pay
It's alright, it's okay
I got the time but the time don't pay
It's alright, it's okay
I got the time but the time don't pay
It's alright, it's okay!

I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be
I know what I am!
I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be
I know what I am!
I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be
I know what I am!
I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be
I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be
I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be
I know what I am, they know what they are
So let me be!

The lyrics are wrong in some parts. I have the vinyl and the lyrics are in there.

These are the lyrics:

High ho triple salco I got a feeling like a tidal flow but I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be

Gasoline saccharine I got no reason for the state I'm in But I know what I am they know what they are so let me be

Hotel taco bell I got the hit that you know damn well But I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be

Cut teeth better believe I got a feeling that I'm underneath But I know what I am they know what they are so let me be

But it's alright it's ok I got the time but the time don't pay

it's alright it's ok I got the time but the time don't pay

it's alright it's ok I got the time but the time don't pay

It's alright it's ok

Flick flack no sack I got the wit that my enemies lack but I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be

Trick some just begun giving you more when you only want one

Cause I know what I am they know what they are so let me be

Hot sweat got debt Keep your liquor in the locker cause you don't know yet

But I kno what I am they know what they are so let me be

Ship shape ticker tape Looks to me like a narrow escape

But I know what I am they know what they are so let me be

But it's alright it's ok I got the time but the time don't pay

it's alright it's ok I got the time but the time don't pay

it's alright it's ok I got the time but the time don't pay

It's alright it's ok

I know what I am they know what they are so let me be

I saw them live too.

I love this song! It's so inspiring to me for some reason. It's one of those songs where I understand the meaning but I can't seem to put my understanding into words.

That's how I feel about it! I just love how they say "I know what I am" like they're not making apologies or explanations for being how they are.

Took a while but this song has really grown on me. That first line always sounds like Triple Salchow.

I love this song it's sooo catchy! The meaning is pretty straightforward, so ya...I agree with the lyrics "aforementioned" When I read the first set they didn't seem quite right.

HO-TELL TACO-BELL Ello-ELL (lol) I love this song so let me be!:P

Mad at site, more or less. The users keep this site going, with it's ads. You would think that asite, specializing in lyrics, would have their own resources. That's what ticks me off. Sorry - bad mood day! Good post.

Anywho, the first line is:

Hi ho, trip as I go

Cover art for I Know What I Am lyrics by Band of Skulls

This is just so unapologetic and bouncy! It's really anthemic as well, it'll probably become their 'song'.

Try

High ho, triple Psycho I got a feeling like a tidal flow but I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be

Gasoline, saccharine I got no reason for the state I'm in But I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be

Hotel taco bell I got the hit that you know damn well But I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be

Cut teeth better believe I got a feeling that I'm underneath But I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be

But it's alright it's OK, I got the time but the time don't pay

It's alright it's OK, I got the time but the time don't pay

It's alright it's OK, I got the time but the time don't pay

It's alright it's OK

Flick flack No slack I got the wit that my enemies lack but I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be

Trick some, just begun giving you more when you only want one

Cause I know what I am they know what they are so let me be

Hot sweat, got debt Keep your liquor in the locker, cause you don't know yet

But I know what I am they know what they are so let me be

Ship shape, ticker tape Looks to me like a narrow escape

But I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be

But it's alright it's OK, I got the time but the time don't pay

it's alright it's OK, I got the time but the time don't pay

it's alright it's OK, I got the time but the time don't pay

It's alright, it's OK

I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be I know what I am (Repeat)

I know what I am, they know what they are so let me be (Repeat)

Also seen them a few time :) they were excellent (Salco is a trade warehouse in the UK, I doubt tripper is out cold and unless they have started breeding pigs and cows it ain't Sow cow either)

Argh - I am so sick and tired of these so-called lyrics sites. Why do they exist? They're all wrong. You kids should just go out, buy the single or even the album, the correct lyrics are there.

Why do people post lyrics that are WRONG? %#%@$!@^@% Useless...

I don't know about other people, but in my case, it's because I was unable to find a copy of the album in physical form, so I downloaded it off of iTunes so I could listen to it, but as a result had no lyrics to read from and had to rely on what I heard. (Though, I kind of had a feeling that what I thought I heard was bound to be at least somewhat incorrect.) So that's why I posted these useless lyrics.
