LCD Soundsystem - You Wanted A Hit Lyrics
You wanted a hit
But maybe we don't do hits
I try and try
It ends up feeling kind of wrong
But is it ever tough enough?
No, nothing's ever tough enough
Until we hit the road
Yeah, you wanted it lush
But honestly you must hush
No honestly you know too much
So leave us, leave us on our own
And so you wanted a hit
You wanted the hit
But that's not what we do
You wanted it real
But can you tell me what's real?
There's lights and sounds and stories
Music's just a part
Yeah, you wanted the truth
And then you said you want proof
I guess you're used to liars
Saying what they want
And we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies
'Til you take us home
No, we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We can't be your babies
'Til you take us home
Yeah, you wanted it smart
But honestly I'm not smart
No, honestly we're never smart
We fake it, fake it all the time
Yeah, you wanted the time
But maybe I can't do time
Oh, we both know that's an awful line
But it doesn't make it wrong
You wanted it right
No out of mind and out of sight
No dirty bus and early flight
No seven days and forty nights
Yeah, you wanted a hit
But tell me where's the point in it?
You wanted the hit
But that's not what we do
And we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies
'Til you take us home
No, we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We can't be your babies
'Til you take us home
And we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies
'Til you take us home
No, we won't be your babies anymore
We won't be your babies anymore
We can't be your babies
'Til you take us home

You wanted a hit

No, nothing's ever tough enough
Until we hit the road
Yeah, you wanted it lush
But honestly, you must hush
No, honestly, you know too much
So leave us, leave us on our own
And so you wanted a hit
Well this is how we do hits
You wanted a hit
But that's not what we do
You wanted it real
But can you tell me what's real?
There's lights and sounds and stories
Music's just a part

It's like Bowies A Career In A New Town RIp
if u can’t survive the first two minutes, u don’t deserve the next seven
somehow managed to survive the first 2 seconds
I got shit to do, yo.
who TF r u to tell me what I deserve twink boy
I almost skipped it.. :(
The first part is beautiful what's wrong with your brain
This was amazing live
And baby, it IS a hit! Brilliant, in every way.
what a fanny.
you wanted a hit and got a home run. You wanted a sacrifice and got a double.
We won't be your babies
Epic
edgardickens 💘
Temazo.......
you wanted the time? well maybe we don't do time.
oh, we all know that's an awful line.. but it doesn't make it wrong.
Yes, I did want a hit.
This is fine, thank you.
Can't decide which version is better. Soulwax or this?
They're both really good, but imo soulwax's is better
@KugelBlitZ that version is garbage just a strange mash this version is the original which I checked if is it has all the elements and delicate twangs so yh this is the only and original
Curami curami curami
48 dislikes? why? :)
Not good enough to be a hit
Oliver Michalowski well maybe James Murphy doesn't do hits...
I think they wanted a hit
I can't figure out if he means a musical hit or a drug hit lol
@Erick Guerrero foda-se
why not both :?
I say wax! https://soundcloud.com/rair-2/that-fire-prod-by-siah-thomas
it's deliciously ambiguous.
This is just so good, lcd soundsystem are brilliant both musically and lyrically
fuck shillary
do you guys have heard the italian version of this? "volevi una hit" from "cristalli liquidi"? is more poppy disco than this but it's damn cool
Change the lyric to "You wanted a dick..." and this is even More Awesome. Not that that is possible on this side of the Event Horizon.
jonnyo420 But that's not how we *do* dicks...
Captivating, love that buildup ;D
Someone should do a mash-up with QOTSA Go with the Flow. Same hypnotic C,A,E, chord structure
That's a great idea ;-)
thats so true!!
This gets me over my first 2 miles then I belt the shit out of my runs :-) love it
same! hahahaha! yeah
+Braulio Martínez really ha love it :-)
This gets me over my first 2 orgasms while fapping, love it.
Got a Terraria vibe from this
Kieran Norman No.
Which is funny, since I listened to this song on repeat when crimson key farming.
This is such a fucking Hit!! lol :-)
Love it!!!
i cant download this?♡
+luis roldan Yes. Check out VidToMp3
James Murphy is honestly too cool
I love this song!! >>>------------------ <3 ------- <3 ----------------------------->
Alright, I used to love LCD mainly because of the musicality, I mean, their beats and energy is just too fucking great. However, only recently I've begun to understand the meaning of the lyrics, and I was totally blown out of my mind with Murphys artistic genius and how all elements just combine and fit together beautifully. unfortunately, I've no clue whatsoever of what they're talking about in this song, like I have absolutely no idea, so I wonder if anyone can provide some starting insight into the hidden idea jewels that Murphy can be saying in here. Any serious response will be greatly appreciated =)
MrDragon1968 probably the funniest reply on this thread
MrDragon1968 chillums are easier to give up I reckoned
a "hit" is a double entente for drugs and musical hits. He's talking about the music industry as a hole.
as I've heard Murphy made this song as almost an attack when his producer wanted the group to go mainstream. so he made this song instead.
They wanted a hit so
What kind of music is this? I wanna listen to music like this..
try "add n to x" album "Loud like Nature"
Check Out - "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" By them
OK listen to the raw version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29v179uDxGc&list=LLSADDVakYHIjYGgwELFwOOw&index=36
This is just good music
I know you already got your answer, but to me, this kind of music is LCD Soundsystem. Just LCD Soundsystem.
Fuck you Bud Light Craptinum
Celery Man heeeeeeyyyy Celery Man!!!!!!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀☺☺☺☺☺😐😐😐😐😞😞😞😞😠😠😠😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
cool ass jam....nuff said.... lol
2:08 I LIKE IT !
This song is absolutely not about drugs... It's one of the most poignant and brilliant "fuck you"s ever written to the music industry.
4490reddock it’s about a friend telling him he should write hit songs, didn’t like that
I, I, I, Oh I....
im pretty sure that's what they were referring to
You, man, like, you just don't get like, man, what this song means, like, man...
To
be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand LCD Soundsystem.
The lyrics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical
physics most of the references will go over a typical listener's head. There's
also James Murphy's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his
characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya
Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they
have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the band's theme, and realise that they are not just going through a mid-life crisis- they say something deep
about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike LCD Soundsystem truly ARE
idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in
Murphy's existencial signature song "I'm Losing My Edge," which itself is a
cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm
smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons
scratching their heads in confusion as Jame Murphy's genius unfolds
itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂
And yes by the way, I DO have a LCD Soundsystem tattoo. And no, you
cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to
demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower)
beforehand.
Elijah Ford this is now a copypasta
I can't tell if you're being serious. You better not be
drive real FAST * ?
like you stole it
fucking sunday grandpa driver
:) love it!
i LOVE that feeling
The replies get more likes than the original, just because people want a chance to say, "Yeah! F*ck that guy!"
Always play that song when i go surfing in the early morning !
yo i just smoked weed for the first time in like ever this song is sooo goooooooood now hahah fuck ya #YELO#SWAG
10 people didn't get a Hit.
if you watch an interview with james murphy, he says the song is based on a conversation he had with this other musician he was surfing with who told him he should make a hit, but james didnt think 'hit's' were really his style, so to speak.
no, please explain your first world joke
