About This Track

'Sing' by Slowdive is an alternative track from the album 'Souvlaki' (1993). The lyrics place the singer in a charged, voyeuristic scene, with repeated cues about singing so others can watch, alongside a sense of private recollection and a gradual sense of someone slipping away. A phrase like “Sing where the other boys can watch you dance” captures the public framing, while later lines move towards watchful foreboding and the unsettling idea of something catching up. The overall tone feels theatrical and uneasy, as desire and dread share the same spotlight.

"Sing" is a track by Slowdive, from the album Souvlaki, released 31st May 1993. The track is 4:51 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Slowdive.

Lyrics

Sing

Sing where the other boys can watch you dance
Here come my man
(Sing where the other boys can watch you dance) Here in my mind
Watch you fall away
I know
(Sing where the other boys can watch you dance) See you cover death
I know
We're fine, you are blind
Caught it from behind
Feel you fall away
I know he's here to stay
Sing where the other boys can watch you dance
Sing where the other boys can watch you dance
Sing where the other boys can watch you dance
What a world I [...]
Sing where the other boys can watch you dance
I thought I [...]
Everything I say
Sing where the other boys can watch you dance
And I know that he's gone away
