Garage Band Hymn · 车库乐队赞美诗

[Verse 1 - Mika]

Danny's amp was held together with electrical tape

Priya learned her bass parts from a YouTube video

Tomas counted us in four times 'cause he lost the beat

And I sang every lyric like it meant something

We were seventeen and terrible

And nobody could stop us

[Pre-Chorus - Mika + Danny]

The neighbors knocked, we turned it up

My mom yelled down the stairs

We played so loud the bulbs buzzed

Like the house was singing too

[Chorus - all, gang vocals]

This is our garage band hymn

Singing it wrong, singing it loud

We don't know the chords but we know the feeling

And the feeling's allowed

This is our garage band hymn

Four kids who couldn't play

But nobody in this world could make me feel

The way we did that day

[Verse 2 - Danny]

We wrote a song about your brother's car

We wrote a song about the mall

We wrote a song that had no name at all

Just three chords and the wall

I was the worst guitar player

That this county's ever seen

But I held that thing like a weapon

And I meant every mean thing

[Pre-Chorus - Mika + Danny]

The neighbors knocked, we turned it up

The concrete shook the floor

We played so loud the windows rattled

Like they wanted more

[Chorus - all, gang vocals]

This is our garage band hymn

Singing it wrong, singing it loud

We don't know the chords but we know the feeling

And the feeling's allowed

This is our garage band hymn

Four kids who couldn't play

But nobody in this world could make me feel

The way we did that day

[Bridge - Mika, then all]

Now Danny's in Columbus, Priya's out in Maine

Tomas has two kids and he calls me by my old name

And I don't play at all, I haven't since nineteen

But sometimes in the shower I still count us in

One, two, three, four

[Final Chorus - all, gang vocals, biggest]

This is our garage band hymn

Singing it wrong, singing it loud

We don't know the chords but we know the feeling

And the feeling's allowed

This is our garage band hymn

Four kids who couldn't play

But nobody in this world could make me feel

The way we did that day

[Outro - all, fading, ad-libbed]

The feeling's allowed

The feeling's allowed

(The feeling's allowed)

We were terrible and it was perfect

We were terrible and it was perfect
