Tame Impalas Kevin Parker sits down with Pitchfork to talk about some of his favorite drum sounds. From John Bonhams thunderous claps on Led Zeppelins «Good Times Bad Times,» to Portisheads «Holy Grail» drum feel, Kevin explains what makes these drums so influential to his own sound.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Like the brutal morning sun
It dawns on me, what have I done?
Saying sorry aint as good as saying why
But it buys me a little more time
Lost in the moment for the second time
Each fucking doubt I make, unleash a cry
Im just pathetic, thats the reason why
In desperation, all that you can do is ask me why
[Chorus]
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Dont always think before I do
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Thats the only answer Ive got for you
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Not often proud of what I choose
Im a human, woman
A greater force I answer to
[Verse 2]
Once again, as it takes a hold
I am aware Im not in control
You see, I have a conscience and its never fooled
But its prone to be overruled
You wanna know why I always think I’m right?
(Why?) You never accept defeat and let it slide
(Why?) I have no voice if I don’t speak my mind
(Why?) My weakness is the source of all my pride
Ill tell you why
[Chorus]
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Dont always think before I do
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Thats the only answer Ive got for you
‘Cause Im a man, woman
Ill never be as strong as you
Im a human, human
A greater force I answer to
