Whistle for the Choir; The Fratellis

The Fratellis! Man, I love their music! These three guys are my favorite indie rock band ever! And I think they are the best ‘cause they have a peculiar dirty sound, a lively rhythm concerted with a cabaret atmosphere and amusing lyrics.

“Costello Music”, their debut album, is my favorite, it has so many good songs... “Flathead”, “Chelsea Dagger”, “Baby Fratelli” and... “Whistle for Choir”, a lovely and dancing heartbreak song.

The song was written by Jon Fratelli (or John Lawler, as you prefer) inspired by a girl he met one night and did not give a damn about him. It’d be called “Knickers In A Handbag” but the band producers force them to change the name. It reached #9 in the UK Singles Chart.

shy guys!

Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty tell me your name
Is it out of line if I were so bold to say "Would you be mine"?

Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen
I know I maybe on a downer am still ready to dream
Now it's 3 o'clock, the time is just the time it takes for you to talk

So if you're lonely why'd you say your not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come and go


You know me no you don't even know me
Your so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible

Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my hearts in broken pieces
And my heads a mess
And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo
That's got me going crazy for the things you do

So if you're crazy I don't care you amaze me
But you're a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible

So if your lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don't even know me
Your so sweet to try oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
