The governess


Who did you say you were?
I didn't catch your name
Falling down to earth
Down from a higher plane

Oh, it's been decades
Say, what did you see?
Oh, I've been so lonely
Won't you keep me company?

Do you remember me?
We met out on the farm
By the fire, you spoke to me
And held me in your arms

The songs you played for me
I long to understand
All along the watchtower
And castles made of sand

When there was a wilderness, we wandered wild and free
Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief
What if we were dumb enough to spend eternity
Gathering the garbage washed up on the beach?

Do you remember me?
We spoke by telephone
The bad connection had a meaning of its own

Of all the good and all the stupid shit I've done
The worst was all for me
Not hurting anyone

When there was a wilderness, I wandered wild and free
Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief
Wish that I was old enough to end the century
Gather all the garbage washed up on the beach

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics THE GOVERNESS of METRIC is also present in the album Pagans in vegas (2015)

Biografia

Metric è un gruppo musicale canadese di genere indie rock e new wave, formatosi a Toronto nel 1998. La band, composta da Emily Haines (voce, tastiere), James Shaw (chitarra, cori), Joshua Winstead (basso) e Joules (batteria), ha raggiunto una notevole popolarità internazionale grazie al suo sound energico e melodico, caratterizzato da riff di chitarra incisivi, linee melodiche accattivanti e testi introspettivi. Dopo aver pubblicato diversi album indipendenti, Metric ha firmato con la Last Gang Records nel 2003, ottenendo un successo crescente con l'album "Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?" (2005). L'album successivo, "Fantasies" (2009), ha consolidato il loro status di band internazionale, raggiungendo la posizione numero 1 nelle classifiche alternative americane. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Metric figurano "Help I'm Alive", "Black Sheep", "The Wanderlust" e "Gimme Sympathy". La band è nota per le sue performance dal vivo energiche e coinvolgenti, che hanno visto la partecipazione a festival musicali di fama mondiale come Coachella e Glastonbury.
