The Fratellis - Moriarty's Last Stand

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/162307
Well you know what I mean
But you just don't know that you know and it's starting to kill you
Well there's a thousand heartbreaks dead at your door
And they wouldn't take money to be you

Lazy old girl caught in the swirl of lasts nights invitation
You make me want to gnaw on a bone
And my jaw is in very much need of attention
I'm sorry my dear but your future's unclear
And I don't have time to love you

There's a dirty old ghost making the most
Dying on the floor above you
I speculate on why you look great
I never was good with words
But you spent half the time looking behind
And I spent it looking forwards

La la...

Well the stars were pink and the knickers were few
And the whole place smelled of boredom
And you would've gone home with the prettiest boy
Well you would've but you couldn't afford him

In sixteen months you've only smiled once
And you didn't need an invitation
You fell up the stairs the wrong way round
But I didn't have the heart to mention

I'm sorry my dear but your future's unclear
And I don't have time to love you
There's a dirty old ghost making the most
Dying on the floor above you

I speculate on why you look great
I never was good with words
But you spent half the time looking behind
And I spent it looking forwards

La la...

The Fratellis - Moriarty's Last Stand
Well you know what I mean But you just don't know that you know and it's starting to kill you Well there's a thousand heartbreaks dead at your door And they wouldn't

The Fratellis - Runaround Sue
I realize that this may seem cruel. It is Here's my story, it's sad but true About a girl that I once knew She took my love, then ran around With every single guy in

The Fratellis - Closing Time Again
Check in check out, that's what it’s about Losing yourself in those neon lights I don't got no friends, just got the rat race bends And my shoes have got holes where the rain

The Fratellis - Laughing Gas
Let me in or let me go i swear, out there Nobody else will ever know what you’re thinking All your angels will not save your skin, you’ll spin Please don’t forget that you’re the end

The Fratellis - Alive
All her dreams gave way Is she alive? Can she just not say? Is the end of the last of the first heartbreaks? She can't understand Ready though that she is, she cannot

The Fratellis - Need A Little Love
It was time i figured out what everybody knew Life is lived in black and white if i don’t have you Oh you can make my head spin all night long By your sweet side, that’s the place

The Fratellis - Lay Your Body Down
Ghost lights on the water almost makes you shiver Black dog at 4am oh baby just surrender When you've had enough all this entertainment Come to me and I’ll slip you the answer

The Fratellis - Hello Stranger
Hello stranger it’s been oh so long Since we rode our luck where we once belonged I think of you sometimes when the air is clear I wonder are you near? Sometimes the end is

The Fratellis - Yes Sir, I Can Boogie
Darlin', your eyes are heavy with frustration It makes me wonder If i'm the one you've waited for Baby, though i'm shy by reputation Ask all your fans,

The Fratellis - She's Not Gone Yet But She's Leaving
{Verse 1} Well she's halfway over this hard on sun She's not gone yet but she's leaving And she's quite sure she's not the only one She's not

Biography

edit bio
The Fratellis is a Scottish rock band hailing from Glasgow, formed in 2005. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (born John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry "Baz" Fratelli (born Barry Wallace), and drummer/backing vocalist Mince Fratelli (born Gordon McRory). Despite their band name, the members are not actually brothers, but rather chose the name as a nod to the crime family in the movie "The Goonies" with "Fratelli" meaning brother in Italian.

The band gained recognition with the release of their debut EP, "The Fratellis EP," which featured the hit song "Creepin' Up The Backstairs." This led to their first big break when they were invited to perform on Jim Gellatly's Beatscene show on Galaxy Scotland. After the radio show aired, Fallout Records signed The Fratellis and they released their debut album, "Costello Music," which garnered them success and earned them the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act in 2007.

Following the success of their debut album, The Fratellis released their second album, "Here We Stand," in 2008, which further solidified their popularity worldwide. They embarked on successful tours in the UK, US, Europe, and Japan, and donated proceeds from their single "Look Out Sunshine!" to Teenage Cancer Trust.

The band continued to release music, with their third album in 2013 and a surprise EP, "The Soul Crush EP," in 2014. They released their fourth album, "Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied," in 2015 and celebrated the 10th anniversary of "Costello Music" with a series of shows in 2016. Despite facing declining sales, The Fratellis persevered and released their fifth album, "In Your Own Sweet Time," with producer Tony Hoffer.

Known for their energetic live performances and catchy rock tunes, The Fratellis have established themselves as a prominent figure in the music industry. With their distinct sound and loyal fanbase, The Fratellis continue to create music and tour, captivating audiences around the world.
