White Stripes, The - The Air Near My Fingers Lyrics
Life is so boring
It's really got me snoring
I'm wearing out the flooring
In a cheap hotel
But I don't have to work it
But I'm never gonna have to hear
The rings of school bells
Well, don't you remember?
You told me in December
That a boy is not a man
Until he makes a stand
Well, I'm not a genius
But, baby, you'll remember this
I never said I ever wanted to be a man
Yeah, I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
Mm, I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
Hey!
My mom is so caring
She's really got me staring
At all the crazy little things
She does for sure
And I can't seem to think of
Another kind of love
That a boy could ever get
From anyone but her
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
Yeah, I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
Alright!

best song ever
Still great song
Fuck school, and kill your abusers.( bullies, molesters, parents,) Violently,.
DAMN soooo good....
..."Thanks-" 🇺🇸🎼🎶🏆💝😅🌍🌹💐. BOBZGT🏁🐾
Thanks be to god....White stripes!
i was a huge fan of the first three albums before i heard elephant, and at first you don't really like it because it doesn't have the diy ethos like the first three albums did, but then it grows on you. i woke up one morning singing the "i get nervous when she comes around" part of this song and listened back to elephant, and it's great. not better than de stijl, but still a fantastic album
Still ❤ the fuck out of some white stripes.
I'll throw Pink Floyd's "Ibiza Bar" into the mix.
Elissa Steamer's Bootleg 3000 part brought me here!! 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤
PLEASE COME BACK!!!
The guitar riff sounds like rape me by Nirvana
the lyrics sound like the rape me riff, more like.
Awesome song!!!! Love ❤ Jack White, this is one of my all time faves, possibly because it wasn't released as a single & overplayed like sooo many others
The air near my anus
Theska anwalqa ischkt irmp wetwe giunchi!!!!!!!!
And they say rock is dead.
He gives a little nod to this song on Ice Station Zebra. "never have to hear the rings of school bells".
This sounds like a rip off of Pink Floyd - The Nile Song
Ibiza Bar
I feel like a baby sometimes
Such a beautiful organ solo
Well, it's a nice continuation of Hypnotize
Intro reminds me of "Wild Thing"
Futurama?
Takes me back to when there was not a worry in the world for me only love
you and me both brother
The hardest button to button the bets song !!!!!!!
The Air Near My Fingers"
Life is so boring
It's really got me snoring
I'm wearing out the flooring
In a cheap hotel
But I don't have to work it
And I might be sinning
But I'm never gonna have to hear
The rings of school bells
Well, don't you remember?
You told me in December
That a boy is not a man
Until he makes a stand
Well, I'm not a genius
But, baby, you'll remember this
I never said I ever wanted to be a man
Yeah, I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
Mm, I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
Hey!
My mom is so caring
She's really got me staring
At all the crazy little things
She does for sure
And I can't seem to think of
Another kind of love
That a boy could ever get
From anyone but her
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
Yeah, I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
I get nervous when she comes around
When she comes around
When she comes around
Alright!
I love your profile pic, who's the character?
you forgot "eeh"
Thank you baby!! 😍❤💜💛💚💗💙
thnx so much!!
It's clearly derivative of Gregorian chants, you fucking cretins.
c o m p t o n
A Little fun fact for you new watchers, the song is about the movie Psycho. Namely, Norman Bates.
Never knew that! Never paid much attention and just assumed it was a love song.
school house rock vibes anyone?
When I first heard this masterpiece 1:49 gave me fucking goose bumps. Love this track!
tell that Jew cartman to simmer the fuck down!😂
can't fuck with this kid!.....so sick ....for sure the devil has his soul !😲
Anybody help with me finding my one of my favorite White Stripes songs???? The only lines I can remember are " if you don't want it, I'll take it"? I know it's not much but somebody must know...I've been trying to go through all their songs to find it but no luck so far...I need help please...Sheri
If you are still looking for that song, i think that is "rag and bone"
Rag and bone
0:00 "eeh"
Oy vey!
Fue toromax
Eh! His dad is Canadian after all! :D
mp3 sucks
At the beginning nirvana said hi
I already liked The White Stripes but that was mainly just their mainstream stuff but after Pandora introduced me to their other stuff, I now really love them.
why do people care who sounds like how and claim rip off no music is purely original it all comes from influence and evolved into what it is if it makes you happy love it
jerad Liberty4560 the question being why people care? I suppose the simple answer is to see credit given to the person who deserves it. While all music should be enjoyed by all that doesn’t make it equal in terms of creativity and relative skill. If we do not hold musicians to standards than u will get computer generated songs with ppl lip syncing then
at the start i thought it is "rape me" by nirvana
You immediately realize it isn't, but I can understand at first moment why you might confuse the two.
black math just because you know a few guitar chords doesn't mean shit. They sound nothing alike.
really?! man you're must be tone deaf. it's not even close...
Joao Correia Dont be so hostile, I agree it does sound close.
To me it smells like teen spirit
love this album!!!
Name me the tracks off this album.
adore this song so much
Soooo that's why people say The Black Keys' "Little Black Submarines" is a rip off :/
I personally think people usually refer to Stairway to Heaven when they say that, but I can hear it in this track too.
i think they both jam, and thats whats really inportant
Black keys is a total rip off of the white stripes. Jack said so himself lol. They have a few good songs tho so not that much of a big deal ig.
Don't care who did what and when, this is just damb good music, period. <3
Says the one who lacked grammar in the last sentence before. "
p.s. the period in your comment should have been outside the parentheses." Nice, didn't even capitalize the first letter.
MilitaryGecko78 it would be capitalized because it was a quote. Not sure where the star goes because who cares
The moral of the story is don't say "damb" because you'll start WW3.
Edit: Y'all are gonna come after me for not putting the comma before "because" lmao
@Ukato Farticus
I'm sorry but that's really stupid 😂.
This song reminds me of a mix of Sweet Home Alabama and More Than a Feeling
how does that even
Hey Jack (I think that's your name, sorry if it's not) I love your music and I am a huge fan. Just wanted to give a shout out.
@Star Lord the likelihood that he would take the time out of his busy day to just look at youtube for his old music when he's probably got all his recordings anyway and most likely isn't looking back all nostalgic is very unlikely and its even more unlikely he'd scroll down to the comments. and even more unlikely he'd comment.
if he was retired maybe but he's still making music so I don't know why he'd be on youtube looking at all his music when he'd probably want them down because he'd prefer people to actually buy his albums so he actually gets money from them.
ofc i know that he probly wont look but i said it because u never know :P
In fact he has a channel where he posts his new singles.
I've thought about this since like 2006. The artist may not see what was said, but it can influence what other people think when they just land on the song and happen to read the comments
B Box if you were such a huge fan you would know his name for sure. Yes it is Jack. And I have known his name since I was about 5 years old.
this song touches me deeply. the lyrics "i never said i ever wanted to be a man"..."i get nervous when she comes around", the bit about pacing, all of it...and the tune kicks my lily white ass. i used to cry when i listened to it, truth, but now i just jam! thanks jack and meg so much...
Alex B. Diamond I can relate...
magfkngnificent.
it's awekdvroswonrvsome right? agreed? agfkchdbdoxhdjreed?
Dude... isn't this a total rip-off of Lenny Kravitz's Fly Away?
@Rad Dlugowski JUST LIKE A DRAGONFLY
@ULGRAX EVECTOR Fly Away is ruined for me after hearing Neil Cicerega's Version, lol.
I WANT A MILKY WAY
I WANNA FUUUCK MILKY WAY
(YEAH YEAH YEAH)
+Rad Dlugowski Every white stripes song feels like a rip off of someone. Just roll with it man. Doesn't mean it's any less fun. Think of it like the Cliff Notes of rock and roll.
+Rad Dlugowski Very similar, but in no way a rip off. Even if Jack did copy Fly Away, he scraped off the 12 and a half metric fuck tonnes of 90's and porny funk and brought out the gem that was under all of that crap.
This song is awesome!
ah come on now !!
Jack White at his finest. His voice was so amazing at this point in his career, and he was writing the best songs of his career. I love him still, but there's a certain magic about this era. Elephant is going to be an album that hip rock kids listen to in 30 years.
BTW, hey, if you have a minute, check my music.
RedYellow Blue you are 100% correct I agree
I agree, elephant an get behind me satan, 2 best albums. My opinion.
This is easily one of my favorite songs off of Elephant. It sounds very much like The Troggs "Wild Thing"
Joseph Perez dude i love wild thing. Easily one of my favorite songs in the history of music
I wonder what gave the album away?🙃
It's the rhythm in the riff. Similar to Wild Thing. That rhythm was also used by Boston (More Than a Feeling) and Nirvana (Smells Like Teen Spirit, Rape Me), among others.
Great song.
The intro is kinda like Nirvana's Rape me ....
i think you mean rap me?
No it's "Rape me" Rap me is censored cause of you tube ....
I thought the same thing but the notes are slightly different
Na its very diferent
The first two chords of the intro are the same
tehehehe
Step lower than the "Smells Like..." progression. It's identical to The Small Faces' "Songs Of A Baker", however. The fuzzed-out Rhodes gives it that Ian McLagan feel too.
MuscleDad420 not even similar to smells like teen but ok
maybe "rape me" from nirvana ?
baha my bad dude. CHARLIE!
I wasn't even the one that said it..
Okay so you're completely tone deaf...that being said I will give you that it IS similar at least in that it uses four main chords the whole song, but the pattern of the changes, the timing, and even the chords themselves are entirely different.
How does this sound at all like teen spirit, who thumbed this up? D:
the begining sounds a little like smells like teen spirit by nirvana
dont let courtney love know
Id say rape me over teen spirit
@violinmaster6 its thumbs up now. :( i miss the past.
5 stars!
