The Fratellis - Whistle For The Choir - Suggestions

Song

Whistle for the Choir is a song by the Fratellis, and their third single. It was released on 27 November 2006 and reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart, marking their second UK top-ten single. In the band's native Scotland, the song reached number two, becoming their second song to reach that position after "Chelsea Dagger".

The song was originally titled "Knickers in a Handbag" but was changed due to pressure from the label. The artwork points toward the old name by showing a girl on the cover handling a pair of knickers above a handbag.

Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty tell me you your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say "Would you be mine"?

Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen
I know I maybe on a downer am still ready to dream
Now it's 3 o'clock the time is just the time it takes for you to talk

So if you're lonely why'd you say your not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come
And go and know me no you don't even know me
Your so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible

Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my hearts in broken pieces
And my heads
a mess
And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo
That's got me going crazy for the things you do

So if you're crazy I don't care you amaze me
Oh your a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible

So if your lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don't even know me
Your so sweet to try oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible

Beh è una città molto grande ed è sempre la stessa
non può mai essere troppo bella, dimmi il tuo nome,
sarebbe troppo fuori luogo se io fossi talmente coraggioso da dirti "vorresti essere mia?"

perchè potrei essere un mendicante e tu potresti essere la regina
so che anche depresso sarei sempre pronto a sognare
adesso sono le tre, è proprio l'ora giusta per te per parlare

quindi se sei sola, perchè dici che non lo sei?
sei una ragazza stupida, so che ti fa male
sin da quando sei arrivata,
e andata, e da quando mi conosci, no tu nemmeno mi conosci
sei così dolce per provare, oh tesoro hai colto il mio occhio
una ragazza come te è irresistibile

beh è una città molto grande e le luci sono tutte spente
ma è più di quello che posso fare, sai, cercare di farti capire
e devo confessare che il mio cuore è in pezzi
e nella mia testa
c'è confusione
e sono le quattro del mattino, sto camminando
accanto al fantasma di ogni ubriaco qui che abbia mai fatto del male
e sei tu
che mi hai fatto impazzire per le cose cha fai

quindi se sei pazza non mi importa, tu mi stupisci
sei una ragazza stupida, oh io, oh tesoro,
tu parli, io muoio, tu sorridi, tu ridi, io piango
è solo che una ragazza come te potrebbe essere sola
ed sarebbe proprio una vergogna assurda se tu pensassi la stessa cosa,
diresti che un ragazzo come me è irresistibile

quindi se sei sola, perchè dici che non lo sei?
sei una ragazza stupida, so che ti fa male
sin da quando sei arrivata, e andata,
e da quando mi conosci, no tu nemmeno mi conosci
sei così dolce per provare, oh tesoro hai colto il mio occhio
una ragazza come te è irresistibile
