The Fratellis - Alive

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/629854
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 think straight
Is she alive? Can she twist her fate?
All the boys on the radio dance floor
They won't understand at all

There was a question, oh, that she once revered
Like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird
Left unanswеred underneath and abovе
So she danced all alone and got ready for love

And so she moves slow through those doe eyes
That once held so entertained
Only this remained, nobody explained

If she cries all night, is she alive, is she just not quite?
Will she survive all the plasticine husbands?
It's nothing that The Book won't cure

Maybe all the secrets that she knows won't save her
What doesn't kill you makes you that bit stranger
She was everything they needed when they needed what they needed
Now she can't understand at all

There was a question, oh, that she once revered
Like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird
Left unanswered underneath and above
So she danced all alone and got ready for love

And so she moves slow, through those doe eyes
That once held her so entertained
Only this remained, nobody explained

Maybe she was orphaned when the floor gave way
Is she alive? Can she just not say?
Is this a trick of the light from a gun shy boy?
She can't understand

Never catch her eye if you cannot swim
Are you alive? Are your chances slim?
You better pray that she just won't take you
Cause you won't understand at all

There was a question, oh, that she once revered
Like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird
Left unanswered underneath and above
So she danced all alone and got ready for love

And so she moves slow through those doe eyes
That once held her so entertained
Only this remained, nobody explained

She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all
She can't understand at all

More The Fratellis lyrics

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

The Fratellis - Whisky Saga
{verse 1} Well here lie the remains Of every girl i've loved The princesses of heaven and hell Who thought they knew me well There goes my wishbone Here

The Fratellis - Baby Don't You Lie to Me!
{Verse 1} Well, little girl You can roll your eyes at the very sight of me Do everything in spite of me But, baby, don't you lie to me I'll take your mood

The Fratellis - Thief
{Verse 1} She's made of fire And she's made of wind She can take you higher But she's not your friend {Bridge 1} She don't beg,

The Fratellis - Impostors [Live in the Studio]
{Verse 1} You wear your mask, I wear mine They don't come cheap, but they fit just fine You can be her and I can be him We'll go sink while the rest all swim

The Fratellis - Dogtown
{Verse 1} There's a snakeskin bedroom bang in the middle Of a funny little place called hell Everybody there's got trouble by the dozen It's a lonely little

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.
