One Life Stand Lyrics

Tell me where you've been to
Nowhere that you shouldn't do
tell me what you're good for
I can tell you something too
Where have you been staying
tell me what you're playing
Hope its not my conscious
You will always be my baby

(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your whole man
(repeat)

Wishes keep remaining
Nothing will contain it
A baloon where they're escapin'
Theres nothing but a play thing
Moments keep us guessing
And lead us from temptation
But better to embrace them
And measure our relation

(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling )
Tell me do you stand by your whole man
(repeat)

This song is actually the album's title track, "One Life Stand."

Not sure he's saying "your whole man" so much as it sounds like he's just dragging the word your out, making the lyrics "tell me do you stand by your man".

this is missing lyrics

First of all, the title is One LIFE Stand.

  • I think it should be "conscience" instead of "conscious"

  • "a baloon where they're escapin'" should be "a balloon with air escaping"

  • As phillr already said, it's not "your whole man", but "your man"

  • And I always thought he said "keep on dreaming", but that could be wrong.

This thread should be merged with 'One Life Stand' - the correct song title, as noted by the users above.

I agree with SirSpandex's lyrics suggestions. 'Conscience' is a better fit.

Cover art for One Life Stand lyrics by Hot Chip

Tell me where you’ve been to Nowhere that you shouldn’t do Tell me what you’re good for I can tell you something too Where have you been staying? Tell me what you’re playing Hope it’s not my conscience But it keeps complaining

Didn’t meet you in an alley The cats they weren’t complaining I met you in the daylight Our visions misbehaving I offer you my temper With the hope that you would tame me We built ourselves a shelter You will always be my baby

Feeling, keep on feeling, keep on feeling

I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling) Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling) I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling) Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling)

Wishes keep remaining Nothing worth containing A balloon with air is escaping Is nothing but a plaything Moments keep us guessing And lead us from temptation But better to embrace them And measure our elation

I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling) Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling) I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling) Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling) (Could this be, could this be?) I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling) (Could this be, could this be?) Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling) (Could this be, could this be?) I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling) (Could this be, could this be?) Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling)

Really digging this song. I gave them a listen about a year ago and didn't think much of them. After listening to this and the rest of their stuff, I have to say that this is a pretty talented band.
