Pollock, Emma - Acid Test Lyrics






This house does not feel like a home, Is it occupied?
This life is not one that I own, Do I dramatise?
These days I think I'll stay at home, By the fireside
Just leave the outdoors to get on, While I theorise

There is nothing here to celebrate
I should be kickin' out my heels parade, Ah
If it fits then I'll wear it
If you can hear me I'll declare it, Share it

I've called your name out, Sunny and blue
I've picture sitting, Just me and you
No one else is, Ever around
This is the acid test that I've, Found

At least three times in a single week, I am run aground
There is no warning I can seek, I am always found
There is no rhyme or reason to this, A fault appears
With the gaping hollow under my feet, I disappear

There is nothing here to stop me
I just fall until it's got me, Ah
If it fits then I'll wear it
If you can hear me I'll declare it, Share it

I've called your name out, Sunny and blue
I picture sitting, Just me and you
No one else is, Ever around
This is the acid test that I've, Found

I think I need to shake up, wake up fast
Forgive a little low, I won't let it last
With every little day that passes
Something is fixin' if something is broken
This conversation is no longer talkin'

I've called your name out, Sunny and blue
I picture sitting, Just me and you
No one else is, Ever around
This is the acid test that I've, Found

  1. R.... G....

    Gerry Rafferty brought me here.

  2. A.... ....

    he music is so monotone

  3. M.... ....

    Jane Chatwin!!

  4. F.... L....

    i’ve called your name out, sunny and blue
    i picture sitting, just me and you
    no one else is, ever around

  5. V.... B....

    Reminds me of Juliana Hatfield (hence the 90s vibe)

  6. R.... T....

    Very underated artist.. Been following Emmas work for a while (since the Delagados) hopefully she will continue making music. :)

  7. R.... F....

    Simply a great song by a great singer.

  8. c.... p....

    ''Ladies and gentlemen, the band would like to inform you that they are not high on drugs ... they are low on drugs and if you have any, please meet them after the show'' --- Fred Eaglesmith

  9. S.... ....

    Nowadays, to be famous you need to be talented and beautiful. Emma isn't the most beautiful, but she still got famous, so that must mean she's more beautiful than all the assholes in the comments making fun of her.

    <3 I love you Emma.

  10. A.... D....

    I don't know what people are talking about, i think the music of this track is amazing, really cool.

  11. W.... R....

    @WilliamRufus100
    And you like Pink Floyd!!!!!!!!!! you big bum bum

  12. W.... R....

    @bongpowda
    I'm a real person and was brought up on a council estate and am working class and I've just discovered her music today and I like it. But there again I like Mozart and Beethoven as well so I guess I'm a sell out. If you think ther music is turgid that's your opinion really and it's fair enough, but to say it's not for real people what on earth does that mean?!?

  13. b.... ....

    well what can one say about emma.your music is turgent.like all those middle class clowns from scotland .your music is not for real people,nor progresive by the greatest musician you never new a glasgow scheme dweller

  14. b.... ....

    I think she looks fine but the music is very mediocre!

  15. M.... D....

    @harrypalms1112 Wow. Got any more delgados/emma stories?

  16. A.... D....

    She isn't pretty, but man....who cares!!! She has an amazing voice!

  17. A.... N....

    well this isnt what i want to see when im trippin

  18. �.... �....

    zachtblauw looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold

  19. Z.... D....

    Genzoman took me here, like if he did to you too :P

  20. h.... ....

    I gave Emma pot at a show in Toronto in 2002. The delgados were on tour in Canada an they didn't have any weed for the road. Awesome folks, a nice memory.

  21. A.... B....

    I love this song so much, but Emma's daytrotter versions are so better. I wish the recording studios would stop messing with a good thing.

  22. R.... ....

    It's good song, but nothing can be better than the delgados.

  23. F.... K....

    I like both the song and the singer too... And I even don"t understand the people's critics above... I like her, she is far better then avarage...

  24. i.... ....

    @ciscam5 Naw, I can have an opinion on a girl :3

  25. c.... ....

    @iBolt07 cuz she looks like a guy? :D
    her music is nice though

  26. S.... ....

    pretty good song

  27. i.... ....

    As a gay man, I say Emma Pollock is a beautiful woman... beautiful voice, too :)

  28. R.... L....

    The lil girls AMAZING :) Love her ;) x

  29. e.... ....

    its not that bad.

  30. A.... a....

    this is a good song i never heard before

  31. J.... ....

    shit loads of a botched batch by the looks of it, ive refrained from taking the piss on youtube for so very long, so ms pollock should be honoured that her eyebrows are what broke me...... i get the feeling she probably does alot of cranking too, if you dont know google it, am i right or am i right?

  32. t.... ....

    Acid sure does make music a lot worse, that's for sure.

  33. n.... d....

    Hola desde Chile, i love you Emma Pollock

  34. s.... ....

    hm maybe she should try screaming ... really really .... Reallly loud .. it will make the song sound allot better

  35. p.... ....

    cool, wad she like?

  36. p.... ....

    awesomely agree!
    anyways, love the song!:D

  37. b.... ....

    she needs to shave her eyebrows. lol.

  38. j.... ....

    Good song; dreadful video and stylist!

  39. S.... ....

    The moment from 2:52 to 3:10 is one of those that take me to the world of passion. Or a world of dreams, I don't even know... But I'm sure that I love it. Emma's voice is perfect.

  40. D.... W....

    Difference between this and my videos. See, I just get high and record myself. In my room. While in bed. I don't expect 40,000 views. I mean, its fact that any video on youtube with drugs in the name is going to be more popular. For reference just look in the related videos. Every video about drugs has like 10 times the views she does. You can't argue with that. I don't see what you're getting worked up about, I speak the truth.

  41. D.... W....

    No, but this one has 70,000. It has the name acid test. THAT is the reason why THIS video has so many views. If any of her other songs have drugs in their name then yes, thats why they have 40,000 views. But I'm not talking about those, I'm talking about this one.

  42. D.... W....

    then that makes you part of the 860 who were actually looking for the song. :]

  43. D.... W....

    Oh...and the song's no good either!

  44. D.... W....

    There are no drugs in this. I was mislead. False advertising. 69,000 viewers all thought they were getting a drug video when they clicked the link xD

  45. s.... ....

    ugly in more ways than one

  46. P.... ....

    same, lol

  47. 5.... ....

    great song, great voice, great album.

  48. P.... ....

    what a tub

  49. w.... ....

    Those comments by me below were supposed to be replies to idiots but they've been stuck at the top and don't look like they make sense..

  50. w.... ....

    No but something tells me you might have..

  51. m.... ....

    does she have downs syndrome?

  52. p.... ....

    It doesn't have anything to do with music. But people are visual creatures. If you look at the charts, it's clear that many people prefer style over substance. Unfortunately. I only brought up Emma Pollock's looks to defend her honour, myself :p

  53. p.... ....

    I think she's beautiful. She's unique. I also think Thom Yorke is beautiful, too. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  54. G.... ....

    she got come good lyrcs!

  55. P.... A....

    sounds like "the hole" but I know exactly who she is so I'm not saying that she's an imitation of them:D Great song btw!

  56. e.... l....

    shes okay.



    ugly though.

  57. A.... K....

    From Russia with love!
    10/10 !!!!

  58. K.... ....

    a very nice video damnit!!

  59. M.... B....

    me too
    :)

  60. A.... P....

    ahhhhhhhhhh

  61. p.... ....

    can you post the lyrics please?

  62. u.... ....

    my favorite single of the year so far...

  63. G.... D....

    Only a few more days to wait until the album is released, The Delgados were one of the great bands of recent years. Emma's new stuff is brilliant!!

  64. D.... ....

    Heard her on Russell Brand's show. Great voice!
