Underdog (Save Me)

Cover Buy on iTunes | Video on YouTube | Download on Amazon | Guitar tabs | 0 comments

First chart succes for Turin Brakes, after nearly missing out on the top 40 with The Door. Quite catchy and brilliant solo by Gale on the guitar!

Two black line streaming out like a guidance line.
Put one foot on the road now where the sybourgs are driving,
With the WD-40 in their veins the screeching little brakes complain.
With the briefcase empty and the holes in my shoes,
I try to stay friendly for the sugary abuse.
So tell my secretary now to hold all of my calls,
I believe I can hear through these walls.

Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can’t be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you’d always fall for the underdog.

Well I’ve been dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust,
A thirty seven thousand foot of wanderlust
And with skyline number 9 ticked off in my mind,
Oh can you hear me screaming out now through the telephone line.

Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can’t be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you’d always fall for the underdog

Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
