Biography

The Strokes are an American rock band from New York City. Formed in 1998, the band is composed of singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. Following the conclusion of five-album deals with RCA and Rough Trade, the band has continued to release new music through Casablancas' Cult Records. The band's debut album, Is This It (2001), was met with widespread critical acclaim and helped usher in the garage rock revival movement of the early 21st century; it was ranked No. 8 on Rolling Stone's 100 "Best Debut Albums of All Time", No. 2 on Rolling Stone's "100 Best Albums of the '00s", No. 199 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and No. 4 on NME's "Top 500 Albums of All Time".

LYRICS

I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh Mama running out of luck
But like my sister just don't give a fuck
I want to steal your innocence
To me my life it don't make sense
Your strange manners, I love you so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat?

I should have worked much harder
I should have just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays
That's something that you learned yesterday
Drive you to work so you'll be on time
Your little problems, they're not yours they're mine
Come on listen to what I say
I've got some secrets that'll make you stay
I just want to turn you down
I just want to turn you around
You ain't never had anything I wanted but
I want it all, I just can't figure out
Nothing

And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
And then she said "Oh you're a freak"
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again, like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
But for the records it's all between you and I

I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh Mama running out of luck
But like my sister just dont give a fuck
I want to steal your innocence
To me my life it don't make any sense
Your strange manners, I love you so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat?

I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
You ain't never had anything I wanted but
I want it all, I just can't figure out
Nothing

And all together it went well
We made pretned we were best friends
And then she said "Oh I can't wait"
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again, like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
But for the records it's all between you and I
