Bet you got it all planned right
Bet you never worry
never even feel a fright
Bet you got it all planned right
Never think to worry
never even feel a fright.

Single sleeps alone
and I know you don't really mind
Five years by your side
so I know you really don't mind

But don't you never be down
I said don't ever
'Cause it's gonna keep 'em hanging around

Never be down
I said don't ever
Because it's gonna keep 'em hanging around

Don't you never think it's right
Bet you think you had to but it doesn't feel right
Bet you never think it feels right
Famous-sounding words make your head feel light

Petals getting picked
with the love-yous
and the love-you-nots

Five years going by
Everyone is staying on their side

But don't you never be down
I said don't ever
Because you're gonna keep 'em hanging around

Never be down
I said don't ever
Because it's gonna keep 'em hanging around.

But don't you never be down
I said don't ever
Because it's gonna keep 'em hanging around

Five years going by
Everyone is staying on their side

Never be down
I said don't ever
cause it's gonna keep 'em hanging around

Five years going by
everyone is staying on their side

I said don't ever need to worry
cause it's gonna feel all right

Never

After seeing this video, I bought one on eBay. It’s fun to play this song to it and watch it dance!

Hey Jim.   Jim.    Hey Jim.  Do something to make the opening of this tune annoying as hell.

Spoon's first few albums contain many excellent songs. This one had one - the last cut.

I really hope he's saying, "because the garlic keeps 'em hanging around".  I'm not going to check the lyrics.  I don't want to be disappointed.

I hear very little actual music being played in this song. Morse code is more musically entertaining.

I guess we all hear different things.  This sounds very little like any Beatles' song that I can think of.   Which song were you thinking of?

Bollocks.  He needs to clear his throat.  Can't cure the whiny thing though; that's probably genetic.
