Yah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you

See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you

Yah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you

See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you

Yah, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair will be grey
Don't think I could forgive you

And see the children are starving
And their houses were destroyed
Don't think they could forgive you

Hey, when seas will cover lands
And when men will be no more
Don't think you can forgive you

Yah when there'll just be silence
And when life will be over
Don't think you will forgive you

Yah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you

See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you

Yah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you

See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you

Yah, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair will be grey
Don't think I could forgive you

And see the children are starving
And their houses were destroyed
Don't think they could forgive you

Hey, when seas will cover lands
And when men will be no more
Don't think you can forgive you

Yah when there'll just be silence
And when life will be over
Don't think you will forgive you

So...that guy has a provocative moniker. 

Maybe I need to do the same.

You've got to have , erm, balls.. to carry a stage name like that.

Reminds me of my late uncle - he had quite a high rank in the military, but insisted on being called Dick instead of Richard.   Innocent enough.. except that his last name was Everard.

As if to say to the troops, "Got something to say wiseguy? Go on, make my day punk".

This a bouncy and peppy song.

It kind of helps me do my morning yoga stretching except for the balancing part. 

Its that damn rythmn that throws me off.
Reminds me of my old dancing days in the 90s.

Much increased support for this sentiment in the month or 2 in between our posts - from both women and men here in the UK.

Other words also used... examples - liar / incompetent / leader of a criminal enterprise /...

I understand that laughing stock is more popular outside of the UK

Interview of Benjamin Cotto and Nili Hadida : "Lilly Wood and the Prick", what does that name mean?

Ben : It reflects a magical universe that would reflect the transition from childhood to adulthood.

Nili: This group of words symbolizes the contrast between something sweet and something vulgar. Lilly Wood could be a young girl's first name. "the prick" in the common language means "le petit con", "le branleur" (in French), someone who does stupid things. They are like two sides of the same character. We work a lot on contrasts and it was logical that this should be reflected in the name of the group.



Thank you for that explanation, Papyjeff. I love this song, but I have to say I have some difficulty getting past the name "Lilly Wood and the Prick." A magical universe? Ummm, I sorta see what he's getting at, but... really? Nili's explanation of the expression "the prick," as "someone who does stupid things" shows a lack of awareness of English idiom, lol. 

The Collins-Robert French-English dictionary has a nice feature for picking up the nuances of swear words in another language. It rates such expressions with 1-3 stars. Three stars indicate a word that non-native speakers should be wary of using. Prick used in this way is a 3-star word in the 1982 edition of the dictionary. Where I come from one might call others pricks, but likely wouldn't call oneself "the prick." 

Nili translates "the prick" as "le branler." Collins-Robert's meaning for  se branler is " to wank" (three stars). Fine in many settings, but, as I learned on my last trip to the UK, not something one would say in polite company. I referred to Boris Johnson as "a wanker." The woman in the room were not amused (though I did get a few smiles from the men  :)

The original song isn't so bad, but this remix is annoying ... and it's the only version that's played on the radio since it came out.
Not the only song to know this sad fate, either...

I'd say the label "folk pop" is a serious stretch with this boots/cats beat. I appreciate a stretch as much as anyone, but sometimes you pull something in the attempt.
 

It's a remix, so maybe that explains! The original would be closer to "folk-pop".
Now just a little bakermat and avener and things could not get much better.  Love RP :)

And there's a place for that kind of music. Sure, it's not the Stones, but it's not trying to be. It's pleasant and fun to listen to while it's on, and that's all we need.
This is a great, great pop-dance song, but like bubble-gum, loses it's flavor quickly.

No disrespect! But I feel it's time to move on...

If you like it, and there's alot of reasons to, check out the label Ultra Music  
They feature many similar artists\songs
I am following them because, I like pop too, but if you check them out you will see they release like 5 songs per week ... As mentioned, the flavor runs quick.

To me one of the secrets of RP is that it finds the stuff that seems like "drek" and yet is good music, even if you heard it on the radio recently so it must be bad, and gives it the possibility of being a good song.  This riff and it's strange vocal counterpoint is, imo, a good song.  Just because pop radio plays lots of crap doesn't mean that everything it plays is crap. 
 

Dont think can no listen no more.

Hmmm...not sure I've heard many 'end of the world'/'climate change' songs on pop radio.  Doom with an upbeat!

Hey, Lion.

This sounds like U2's Summer of Love (which came 3 years later)

This song, with its popping guitar line, rolling drums and great melody isn't deep or powerful, but to me it's the perfect embodiment of the rating phrase "quite likeable."
So who is she talking to ? Her Ex and Donald Trump ?
Definitely one of the worst songs I've ever heard on RP!!!
Definitely one of the best songs I've ever heard on RP!!! Clear 10, I would rate even more if it were possible! {#Hearteyes}
