Same Town, New Story Lyrics
Same town, new story
They bridge a fated span
He was bound for a glory
She found her winning man
So I bet she stood by him
Through it all
I bet she stood by him
When she was pounding on the wall
She said it feels like the whole world
Is up on my shoulders
Feels like the whole world's coming down on me
(Frightening)
How many bombs went off
Cuz he just had to play his hand
His lot is a woman's duty
And she was always tougher than
(Same town, new story)
She said who's gonna save them from you?
(Same town, new story)
Who's gonna save them from you?
(Same town, new story)
I ain't gonna chase another stake until he's gone
So I bet she stood by him to the law
I bet she stood by him
When he was down on his knees
She said we're still alive
We are still alive
Feels like the whole world
Is up on my shoulders
(Coming down)
Feels like the whole world
Is up on my shoulders
(Coming down)
Feels like the whole world's coming down on me
Wide eye, venture so slowly
Venture so slowly
Why do I venture so slowly?
Venture so slowly
They bridge a fated span
He was bound for a glory
She found her winning man
Through it all
I bet she stood by him
When she was pounding on the wall
She said it feels like the whole world
Is up on my shoulders
Feels like the whole world's coming down on me
(Frightening)
Cuz he just had to play his hand
His lot is a woman's duty
And she was always tougher than
(Same town, new story)
She said who's gonna save them from you?
(Same town, new story)
Who's gonna save them from you?
(Same town, new story)
I ain't gonna chase another stake until he's gone
I bet she stood by him
When he was down on his knees
She said we're still alive
We are still alive
Feels like the whole world
Is up on my shoulders
(Coming down)
Feels like the whole world
Is up on my shoulders
(Coming down)
Feels like the whole world's coming down on me
Venture so slowly
Venture so slowly

Maybe im wrong, but the song sounds like a woman who suffers domestic violence, IDK
@luis adria To me it reads more like emotional abuse. Seems like she really loves a guy, but he is a flirt.

Best song of the album. Means a lot to me
This is Interpol's best written song on El Pintor, and probably their best writing for a number of years.
@decade03 It almost seems like it's based on a book in my opinion. But which book is the question... 0-0
