Vampire Weekend - I'm Going Down Lyrics






We sit in the car
Outside your house
I can feel the heater coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you
And you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
Well you let out one of your bored sighs and
Lately when I look into your eyes

I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down

We get dressed up and we go out
Baby for the night
We come home early burning
Burning in some firefight
I'm sick and tired of you setting me up yeah
Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a knock-a me

Down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down

I pull you close but when we kiss I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started
My kisses used to turn you inside out
I used to drive you to work in the morning
Friday night drive you all around
You used to love to drive me wild but
Lately girl you get your kicks from just a driving me

Down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down

Oh darling I'm going down

I'm going down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down

Vampire Weekend I'm Going Down Comments
  1. D.... ....

    Rostam!

  2. L.... B....

    completely incomparable to the real thing

  3. R.... ....

    Blasphemy! So awful, I can't describe it.

  4. E.... C....

    Worse than the original is every conceivable way.

  5. F.... C....

    Hey, I've just added this video to https://covertheboss.com. I hope you don't mind, let me know otherwise!, Thanks.

  6. E.... ....

    Six thumbs down down😆👎👎👎👎👎👎

  7. E.... ....

    Fuck they’re so great 😭😭😭

  8. S.... M....

    God i miss rostam :(

  9. D.... ....

    Where did not live version go??!

  10. G.... M....

    What are you, 16? Time to go back home now, kiddies, supper's on the table. This awfuk(good typo) version, yeah of one of my favorite songs, is at best just for naive little girls who value boyishness over talent. Sorry, but this la-la-la crap should never have been released into the world. If it's gonna be this bad, keep it to yourselves.

  11. D.... M....

    Going through Cancer treatmeant, Newbie in the elevator, started singing this song - pretty cool !

  12. J.... G....

    God I love this song so much

  13. G.... M....

    Take your hair outta your face and your thumb outa your ass. This is not funny or clever, just boring fake-sensitive. Does not rock in any way. Try Beat On The Brat this way, people will think it's funny.

  14. J.... G....

    I really love this band

  15. J.... G....

    God he’s so good, who doesn’t love a bit of Ezra at 7am

  16. R.... ....

    Don't recreate the BOSS with your weak ass voice

  17. N.... D....

    Not a fan of this band but great choice for a cover and not bad at all!

  18. E.... J....

    Aw love this

  19. G.... M....

    Sorry, but this sucks. FEEL something, don't just nice-nicely imitate.

  20. j.... p....

    I like how they kinda kept the Springsteen vibe while keeping it authentic

  21. M.... K....

    so much better than Springsteen's version. just a much better band.

  22. H.... E....

    This is brilliant...so, open your eys^^

  23. M.... d....

    the original is one of my favs (BRRRUUUUUUUUCE) but I really like how playful the piano was in this one

  24. I.... D....

    the beginning sounds like the office theme song

  25. j.... ....

    a little more passion,but don't cry

  26. M.... K....

    So much better than Springsteen's original arrangement.

  27. E.... ....

    This is so good.

  28. s.... h....

    Fab version.

  29. A.... A....

    I didn't know Ramsey Bolton could sing

  30. M.... W....

    Bruce WIllis, the Best.

  31. l.... ....

    Only makes me wanna listen to the original version.

  32. M.... A....

    I love it so much💘😻

  33. L.... M....

    Shes a good singer.

  34. S.... M....

    I like VW and this is a creative interpretation but for me it just doesn't work. It is such a blue collar song, totally made for Bruce's voice and style.

  35. R.... P....

    The guitar part sounds like Don´t Stop believing

  36. A.... C....

    ficou muito boa essa versão!! Amei!!

  37. B.... W....

    "hopefully u know it" psh smh.. if by "it" u mean the song that inspired Ezra to teach the boss how a boss should sing? then yeah I know it

  38. h.... r....

    Of course this is a diluted version of Springsteen's, but I give them credit for covering such a great song. If you haven't heard the original version check it out!

  39. R.... C....

    BRUCE:)

  40. m.... ....

    love this band. the first new music I have played over and over for a long time. I love that  they covered this song=one of my favorites. no need to compare. obviously Bruce created it first but this is a wonderful tribute and they were true to the song and yet made it their own. Good musicians = good music.

  41. M.... K....

    They love throwing other songs into this. In this version they have the riff from Don't Stop Believing, on the iTunes sessions version they end with "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)"...

  42. g.... w....

    this is so beautiful i can't even.

  43. P.... T....

    this is my favorite thing in the world

  44. M.... C....

    As a huge Boss fan I have to admit, this is great.

  45. S.... ....

    I much prefer this than the original

  46. R.... R....

    Somewhere Bruce is weeping.

  47. E.... L....

    that little dont stop believing riff in the middle is amazing

  48. J.... D....

    intro sounded like The Office theme song :)

  49. C.... P....

    I like the shit out of this!

  50. g.... ....

    I like bruce's better

  51. i.... h....

    didn't even know it was a springsteen song

  52. E.... R....

    This... Is amazing. This is like my fifteenth time listening to this

  53. R.... H....

    my love

  54. b.... ....

    this is my fav cover. much love

  55. j.... e....

    i don't think anyone knew it

  56. E.... M....

    thank yoU

  57. w.... ....

    A Gaslight Anthem cover would blow this one away. No offense.

  58. a.... ....

    ugh so hot jeez ezra

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

    I have to watch this everyday :/

  60. K.... L....

    and so awesome!

  61. N.... M....

    Ezra Koenig is I think?

  62. A.... C....

    Their background should not have anything to do with their musicianship and vocal abilities. it's a pretty good rendition. Period!

  63. S.... L....

    So happy they started doing covers!

  64. t.... ....

    i hate him

  65. l.... ....

    Really good cover.

  66. r.... ....

    whyd they put dont stop believing in there?

  67. O.... U....

    Rostam is Iranian-American. Sassy assumption

  68. w.... ....

    UMADBRO?

  69. w.... ....

    Wow, nice comment. What are you, all of 12 years old?

  70. D.... R....

    the world needs more people like you and me

  71. D.... R....

    YEEEEEES lol

  72. T.... F....

    I wish I was goin down on Ezra u guys feel me

  73. R.... T....

    agreed x L0L

  74. R.... T....

    agrreedx10

  75. J.... S....

    I believe it rains in the summertime. At least where I live.

  76. J.... K....

    oohh ezra, i would go down, down, down on you

  77. d.... ....

    I agree

  78. I.... B....

    love them!

  79. D.... R....

    Fucking great!

  80. b.... ....

    0:38 BIG breath

  81. b.... ....

    This is crazy

  82. l.... ....

    You are not a smart person

  83. B.... ....

    the entire backbeat seems to be "Don't Stop Believin'"

  84. w.... ....

    doesn't even hold a candle to the original

  85. J.... ....

    lol jesus christ this is terrible. If I were Bruce I'd sue to enjoin this nonsense lol - fucking atrocious

  86. p.... ....

    Coincidentally, it was pouring when I just heard it on the radio as I drove home, and it still is now as I clicked to listen again. I hadn't made that connection, but I'll have to say you're right!

  87. r.... ....

    I see why this version has so many views now.

  88. L.... ....

    haha I'm slightly confused myself but I think he/she likes this cover, which is surprising for him/her because normally this person hates covers of his/her love, whois Springsteen (which I totally get because I hate Bob Dylan covers).

  89. n.... c....

    Midnight Train from Journey*

  90. C.... ....

    I like vampire weekend but this cover isn't the best( well on this video at least), it's not bad either. But either way both sides should be glad that lol Wayne or Katy Perry or Nikki minaj is singing their own cover of this song

  91. h.... ....

    Wait, is "have my blood shitting" a good or a bad thing? And is "destroy this shit. so gnarly." good or bad? I know those words but your comment is still ambiguous to me! I'm leaning towards, you like it

  92. s.... ....

    Bruce Springsteen AND Vampire Weekend. I'm in love.

  93. D.... ....

    I am the biggest Bruce Springsteen fan under forty years old on Earth. I f--king LOVE The Boss. That's my man, and normally any cover would have my blood shitting...

    But these hipster destroy this shit. So gnarly.

  94. T.... ....

    I'm from Scotland. You can have some of our rain!

  95. M.... ....

    I think that's almost the mood they tried to create... kind of fed up and tired.

  96. B.... A....

    If you like this version, that's cool.
    If you like the boss' version, that's cool too.

    The only people who deserve to be called idiots are those who wrong other people's opinions because an opinion cannot be wronged. That's plain stupidity.

    Peace.

  97. K.... D....

    these guys are so jewish

    K.... D....

    Well, Ezra is but Rostram is Persian and... So what??

  98. w.... r....

    Karioke?did i spell that rite?
