Lyrics

Bruises

Take this ride and this phone

Run and go

I wish that I could give you more

But I'm have to break the law

But I've got more to give

Than I first started to give

We'll have to make a pact

Or something like that

Something good

A little trouble in your neighbourhood

Or understanding that you're understood

Oh I kinda wish you would...

Give yourself to the world

Baby girl

Spread your wings and uncurl

To the world

You've got more to give

Than you first thought to give

We'll have to make a pact

Or something like that

Or something like that

Something good

A little trouble in your neighbourhood

Or understanding that you're understood

Oh I kind of wish you were...

Something real

Another feeling that you never feel

Another reason that you wanna be alive

Just to watch the bruises heal

Something good

A little trouble in your neighbourhood

Or understanding that you're understood

Oh I kind of wish you were...

Something real

Another feeling that you never feel

Another reason that you wanna be alive

Just to watch the bruises heal

Band of Skulls are trying something new: "It was quickly obvious that we had quite a different record"

Russell Marsden and Emma Richardson reflect on the band’s shift from bluesy guitars to upbeat pop as a vehicle for change. “It was a risk,” they explain.
