The remains of rock & roll


It's too long to wait around for everyone to decide
I'm off to the promise land if anyone needs a ride
It's a small car but we'll fit inside if we leave our bags behind
We'll entertain ourselves just watching the world go by

Is something wrong
You don't look like you're having fun
The road is long
Gotta let go of the things you've done

We prefer good love to gold
And the remains of rock and roll
When the moment's right
In the middle of the night
We can almost see the way to go

So long to everyone, cause they don't know who we are
Tell them you're sorry, but you'll have to break their hearts
Sister you're old enough to take the wheel and drive
Your hands, your heart, your eyes, have made me realize

I hear your call
All of my senses are turned onWe're on a roll
Suddenly Earth is far below

We prefer good love to gold
And the remains of rock and roll
When the moment's right
In the middle of the night
We can almost see the way to go

Can't you see me floating
Forwards, backwards
Won't you lend a hand and help me out
Hear me on your doorstep
Knocking, knocking
Won't you open up and help me out

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics THE REMAINS OF ROCK & ROLL of BROKEN BELLS is also present in the album After the disco (2014)

Biografia

Broken Bells è un duo musicale statunitense formato dall'artista e produttore Brian Burton (meglio conosciuto come Danger Mouse) e da James Mercer, cantante e chitarrista del gruppo indie rock The Shins. Il progetto fu annunciato per la prima volta il 29 settembre 2009. Burton e Mercer si incontrarono al Roskilde Festival, un festival musicale danese, nel 2004 e scoprirono di apprezzare reciprocamente il lavoro dell'altro. Dopo quattro anni di attesa, i due iniziarono a collaborare segretamente nel marzo 2008 nello studio di Burton a Los Angeles. Descrivono la loro musica come "melodica ma anche sperimentale". Il loro album d'esordio omonimo, pubblicato nel 2010, fu accolto con grande favore dalla critica e raggiunse il successo commerciale. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The High Road", "Holding On For Life" e "After the Disco".
