CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study Humans in languages have a variety of forms and ways. It is indivertible that language skills demand and also require sufficient vocabulary. The wealth of one's vocabulary also determines the quality of the person's language skills (Tarigan, 2009:2). Language is the most important aspect in life. Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbol by means of which social group cooperates (Lyons, 1981:3).We use language to express inner thoughts and emotions, make sense of complex and abstract thoughts, to learn how to communicate with others, to fulfill our wants and needs, as well as to establish rules and maintain our culture. Language can be defined as verbal, physical, biologically innate, and a basic form of communication. Language skills can be learned based on the context, depending on what is conveyed by the speaker. In fact, not a few people have difficulty in communicating due to lack of understanding of the meaning conveyed by the speaker during the conversation. The definitions of language above give us some understanding the purpose of language is to make people can understand each other in communication. It means that meaning is important part of language and through language we can know and understand meanings. The study of language is called Linguistics. Linguistics is study about sounds, the of words, and also meaning. One of the branch of Linguistics that studies of meanings is Semantic. Semantics is the systematic study of meaning. Linguistic semantics is the study of how language organize and express meanings. In semantics, meaning differentiated into Literal and Non-literal. Literal meaning means exactly what it says and we don‟t need to analyze the words or sentences to know the meaning,whereas Non-literal meaning is not properly meaning that we need to analyze the words or

1 Universitas Sumatera Utara

sentences to know the meaning, because it has different meaning and we can‟t get the meanings word by word. There are a number of ways to delivering a meaning. Some of them are through the use of Figurative Language and Idiom. Figurative Language is language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It uses exaggerations or alterations to make a particular linguistic point. Figurative Language is very common in in song lyrics, poetry, and also in non-fiction writing as well. There are many different types of Figurative Language such as Metaphor, Idiom, Simile, Personification, Hyperbole, Symbolism, Synecdoche, Cliché, Assonance, Metonymy, etc. Then, Idiom is a figure of speech established by usage that has a meaning not necessarily deductible from those of the individual words. Idiom is not always meant to be taken literally. Idioms express a particular sentiment, but it did not literally mean what the individual words themselves mean. The writer tries to reveal Metaphor as an object to analyze because the writer thinks it is worthy. Metaphor is one part of figurative language which is the most common word (David Crystal, 1999:16). Metaphor is the use of widening meaning. Metaphor is the imaginative use of word or phrase to describe something as another object in order to show that they have the same qualities and to make the description more forceful. Also, it is used to describe normal words in order to help other understand or enjoy the massage within. In literature, Metaphor as one of elements does not merely convey ideas, in addition it also functions as a tool for literary writers to embellish and give colors to their works. There are some kinds of literary works in which use Metaphor. Some of them are song lyrics, poetry, novels, non-fiction, etc. Based on the description above, the writer is interested to describingsong lyrics of Arctic Monkeys which is comprise any Metaphors and Associative Meaning in selected of song lyrics. In this Paper writing, the writer take on the title with,

Universitas Sumatera Utara

A Description of Metaphors in Arctic Monkeys‟s Selected Songs through AM Album. Song lyrics are an expression by someone about something that has been seen or experienced. In expressing their experiences, play any word-games to create the attraction and distinctiveness to the lyrics. As an example of a fragment of the song lyrics called „R U Mine‟, there is the sentence I am a puppet on a string (I am a puppet rope). The using of „puppet‟ word as a distraction from „me‟ because the concept of puppet is in accordance with what is intended by songwriter. The word of „doll‟ is representing of something that „has been controlled‟of this case. Also, the sentence comprise a connotative meaning which is one of a kind of Associative meaning. Because, the word of „doll‟ is not a phrase for funny thing or be like a doll that is much liked by everyone, but, the phrase was spoken by a man to his lover as though controlling his life and everything. This is also a kind of transfer sentence meaning, from normal meaning into transfer meaning or it called it as Metaphorical meaning. Therefore, that sentence is interpreted as metaphorically in which he was only became a doll in which has been controlled by his girlfriend. Arctic Monkeys is one of the British bands, or also known as The Death Ramps. The Death Ramps is the name of the first time for the band was formed, then after the first vocalist was retire, the name of this band was changed into Arctic Monkeys. The current vocalist is still . Arctic Monkeys was formed in 2002 at , district, England. The fifth album of Arctic Monkeys is AM in which was released in September 2013 by Domino Record. This album has been received various compliment that appeared in various media and also from music-critics even performed in many track lists as The Best Song of 2013. It has been also nominated for Best Album at the 2013 Award‟s event and 2013 Best Album by NME Magazine. The AM album is one of the most successful top of the album charts in several countries and has been reached position of Top 10 Billboard.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Definition of Metaphor Metaphor is one of Figurative languages in which has used within our daily conversations or we may found within literature work such as song lyrics. In correlation to song lyrics, Metaphor can be viewed based on the context. According to Kennedy (1979:490), affirms that Metaphor is a statement that one thing is something else, which in a literal sense. Another statement to Metaphor, according to Lakoff and Johnson, Metaphor has permeated into human‟s daily life, not only in language but it is on itself mind and behavior (2003:3). Metaphor refers into 2 parallel complements, that is, Epiphor and Diaphor (Hester 1976: 16). Epiphor is Metaphor that express the existence of something, whereas Diaphor is Metaphor that imply the possibility of something. Furthermore, another statement which mentioned by Jaszczolt (2002: 347), it is the position of Metaphor within Figurative languages which can be classified into 2 parts, that is, (1) Metaphors in which positioned into wide understanding, towards all Figurative languages, also, (2) Metaphors in which positioned into narrow understanding. On one hand, Lakoff and Johnson has observed that all languages are using Metaphor in order to do communication either abstract or concrete levels. According to Linguistic‟s dictionary by Lewandowski (1985:708), explain that Metaphor is diversion of meaning which based on similarity of form, function, and usability. The diversion of meaning is a form of implicit comparison from two things. On one hand, Metaphor can be defined within other languages in form of depiction. For example, The Sky is Crying is a form of Metaphor from Rain. Fogelin (1988:82) states that Metaphors involve comparisons between entities which may or may not exist. The existing entities being compared must be the similarity. For example, “the root of evil is greed”, in this sentence there is similarity between the root and evil that they are origin the things to grow. A tree

grows from its root and evil grows from the greed. However, the meaning of root from Metaphor is no longer the same as the meaning of root in the root of tree. In tree, it is the normal use but it is not normal in the other.

2.1.1 Types of Metaphor 1. Concretive Metaphor This Metaphor uses a concrete term to talk about an abstract thing, and vice versa. (Leech 1991:58). For example: ● Beautiful in white

In this sentence, it is spoken to the bride whom wearing bridal gown for the wedding. The word of Beautiful is definitely intended to a bride and it is an abstract thing. Therefore, the word of white is about bridal gown which it is a concrete thing.

2. Animistic Metaphor This Metaphor uses a term usually associated with animate things (living creatures) to talk about inanimate thing (Leech 1991:58). For example: ● Foot of hill

In generally as we know, Foot is part of human‟s body stands and moves, also, it is animate thing. The word for hill is inanimate thing in which generally has definition in Geography term is a natural elevation of the earth's surface and smaller than a mountain. Basically, foot of hill is the bottom position for hill.

3. Humanizing or Antromorphic Metaphor This Metaphor uses a term usually associated with human beings to talk about non-human thing (Leech 1991:58). For example: ● Lovely day

Lovely is an expression for nice, pleasant, delightful, beautiful, etc whereas day is period of 24 hours. The words for lovely day has the condition that someone has a beautiful or nice day.

4. Synaesthetic Metaphor This is a Metaphor that crosses different senses to describe one entity in terms of another (Leech 1991:58). For example: ● Soft voice

The word of soft has the meaning as gentle, not rough/hard/coarse and smooth. In the words of soft voice shows that a certain person has one of any types of voice which it is called as soft voice.

2.2 Definition of Semantic The word of Semantic is originated from Greece which means as,„the point of meaning‟. The use of term in English, perhaps, can be traced back to use of the French term Semantique which was coined from Greek in the previous year. Semantic has long became an object of study within the philosophy. It is said that the term of Semantic itself was introduced into English at the end of the 19th century. Other names that have been used include Semasiology, Semology, Semiotics, Sememics, and Semics though scholars have often used some of these terms to suit their own interests and orientation. Semantic is generally defined as the study of the meaning (Lyons, 2008:9). Semantic is branch of Linguistics in which relates with meaning. Semantic is also known as one of Linguistics that we can found by the conversation we did every day. In addition, Semantic focuses on the meaning of words, phrases, or sentences of the language and it used to examines any symbols or sign that express of some meanings which is impact towards human and society. Therefore, Semantic is encompass about meaning and also modification of words. From the definitions, it can be concluded that Semantic is the scientific study of meaning. Based on the definitions, the varieties of meaning occurred due to a speaker may use a word to mean something different from what it denotes. In other words, what he/she has on mind differs to the word form he/she uses based on the main context, in which accompanies the utterances. Meaning can be divided into two kinds, Literal meaning and Non-literal meaning. Most words has several different meanings, but this variety causes no trouble to the average language, because the context usually makes it clear which meaning intended.

Black, for example, may mean several things in different contexts, and we can divide it to Literal and Non-literal meaning. If we look from Literal side, we may find that dark is with no or very little light, and from Non-literal side, Black may mean as Magic, Evil, or Fear. In song lyrics, it usually uses Non-literal meaning in order to enrich and give more senses in its meaning, and of course, it may cause some effects to the listener or the reader. The writer would like explain about Literal meaning and Non-literal meaning. According to Holman and Harmon (1986), Literal meaning or Denotation, is exact meaning of the original without embellishment. Literal meaning is the most exact, precise and limited meaning, without reference to secondary or symbolic or metaphorical meaning (Gray, 1984). It based on actual or real words which means not use figurative or symbolic. Also, it represents any explicit or referential meanings of a sign. It refers tothe „dictionary definition‟. Thus, when the speaker speaks in Literal, he/she does not have hidden meaning in his/her words. The usage of Literal meaning from following examples:

1. The window is open. 2. They are my best friends. 3. I live in Medan. 4. It is beautiful. 5. It is nice and smells good.

Non-literal meaning, Connotation, or Suggestive meaning, is the emotional and imaginative association surrounding a word. According to Abcarican (1984), “when the speaker speaks something like words or sentences, which implies the different meaning from its really mean, that is the time called as Non-literal meaning”. It is created when you mean something else, something that might be initially hidden. For example, the name of Hollywood connotes such things as glitz, glamour, celebrity, and dreams of stardom. In the same time, the name of Hollywood denotes an area of , or worldwide known as the center of the American movie industry.

2.2.1 Associative Meaning Associative is one of Adjectives form out of „association‟ word (KBBI, 1989:53). The word of „association‟ is a kind of link that it means relationship‟s formation among ideas, memories, and sensory activities. According to Sarwiji (2008:77), Associative Meaning in Bahasa Indonesia, “bertalian erat dengan masyarakat pemakai bahasa, pandangan hidup yang ada dalam masyarakat, dan nilai-nilai moral”. Another statement about Associative Meaning, according to Leech (1981:18), is the meaning in which possessed by a lexeme or words that related to lexeme with circumstance thereout of the language.

2.2.2 Types of Associative According to Leech (1981:18),there are 4 main types of Associative Meaning that found: 1. Connotative Connotative is communicative value from an expression in accord with to what is referred to. There are additional characteristics that are referred to, either it is physical or social (Leech 1981:18). For example:  You are like a shining star. It means, you are the light of my life.

 You are a blessing from above. It means, you are the gift from God.

 Cause you are sky full of stars. It means, how beautiful you are.

 You are my downfall. It means, (1) I can‟t live without you. (2) My life is empty if you were gone

2. Social

10

Universitas Sumatera Utara

Social is a meaning which indicates of its social enviroment, that it can be the form of time, dialect, individuality, language, and speaker‟s origin based on geographical enviroment or social (Leech 1981:18). For example, in both Chinese and English, Black is associated with negative qualities such as Black Market, Blacklist, Black Sheep, Blackmail, etc.

On one hand, the term of Black Box is somewhat different. At first sight, we may assume it is about something black. However, it is called Black Box because Black is a symbol of calamity and misfortune. The choice of this term is connected to meaning, not the color. Then, the term of Black Box desribes about state of mind one can experience that is associated with pain, frustration, and other negative synonyms of the like.

Another example from term of Hole. In addition, the terms of Black Hole in Astronomy‟s terminology can be associated to “The hole is black”. However, it is actually refers to the phenomenon of a celestial body.

3. Affective Affective is a meaning that associated into speaker‟s feeling toward other person, interlocutor, or to whom talking with. Affective may occur due to reader and listener‟s response or reaction in a use of language (Leech 1981:18). For example:  I am very grateful for having you The word of grateful is an expression of gratitude.

 “You, shut your mouth and leave!” he snapped at me. The words of shut your mouth are completely sounds rude which in generally it has meaning as scorn also curse to interlocutor.

4. Reflected Reflected may occur in case of multiple conceptual meaning or meaning‟s reflection that appear due to double concept of words.

11

Universitas Sumatera Utara

Reflected is also known as kind of suggestion that found in usage of language (Leech, 1981:18). For example:  I pray that you will find your way and I ask God to protect you, always.  You brought joy to my soul and pleasure to my eyes.  My little girl and my baby girl.

5. Collocative Collocative is a meaning that contains of association which obtained by words as a result of other words‟s meaning tend to appear (or show up) within its society or enviroment (Leech, 1981:18). Thus, this is used to describes words that regularly appear together in common use (within certain contexts). In addition, words collocate or co-occur with certain words only. For example, Pretty and Handsome are indicates to good looking. However, they both are slightly contrast because of collocation or co- occurence. The word of Pretty collocates with girls, woman, flowers, garden, etc. On the other hand, the word of Handsome collocates with boys, men, etc.

2.3 Song

The writer try to explain about Song. Basically, song is short piece of music that usually with words or song lyrics in which, it combines among melody and vocal though some have written instrumental pieces, or musical works without words, that mimic the quality of a singing voice. According to the Grolier, song is a short musical work set a poetic text with equal importance given to music and to the words. The Encyclopedia of Americana (1998), defines song as a short musical work set to a poetic text, with equal importance given to the music and to the words. It may be written for one or several voices and is generally performed with instrument accompaniment. In addition, according to Hornby (1995), defines song as a short poem or a number of verses set into music and intended to be sung.

12

Universitas Sumatera Utara

From the definitions of song above, the writer may concludes that song is one of any art-works that are intended to be sung either with or without instrumental accompaniments. A good song produces proportionate feelings relative to a given matter or experience. In addition, the power of a song is in how a melody and song lyrics work together to produce an emotion in regards to a particular matter. Also, plain lyrics can be vitalized by beautiful melodies.

A songwriter‟s creativity is brought to bear on the „relationship‟ between a song lyrics and a melody, also how different variations produce different emotions. Song lyrics are distinct from other creative forms of writing precisely because of their „relationship‟ to the music through in which the words are delivered. The emotion of poetry, for instance, is tied up to the words themselves, the sound they make when plainly spoken, and their relationship to one another.

2.4 Previous Research In this Paper, the writer will discover and probe some of informations from other previous studies as the comparisonin order to obtain previously available of information about the theory in which relating to the title used. Research of Metaphor has been researched for several times before. Based on two previous research of Metaphor, there are similarities and differences of research. The similarities are the same object, that is based on Song Lyrics. Also, the differences are using different theories. The first review related to this Paper with title, “A Description Study on Figurative Language Used in Celine Dion‟s Songs” in which had been researched by Mochamat (2006), and he took 15 of selected songs from A New Day Has Come album. Unfortunately, the writer didn‟t find a theory that used for analysis of that final paper. Therefore, as the comparison the writer try to take 12 of Arctic Monkeys‟s selected songs from AM album. Then, for second review there is from Joko Rahmanto (2017). This research has a title, “Figurative Language in Album‟s 25” in which Rahmanto as a writer, he took 17 selected songs from album of 25 and he had been researched mainly based on Perrine‟s (1963) theory by dividing the types of Metaphor that has intended of songwriter. Therefore, as the comparison the writer

13

Universitas Sumatera Utara

try to use theory of Leech (1991). In this Paper, the writer need to analyze songs that had never been analyzed, that is, do analyze Metaphor and Assosiative Meaning in song lyrics of Arctic Monkeys through AM album.

CHAPTER III

DESCRIPTION

3.1 Metaphor that Occur in Song Lyrics Through the Album

3.1.1 Concretive Metaphor This Metaphor uses a concrete term to talk about an abstract thing (Leech 1991:58). At this point, the writer wants to try to describe the song lyrics and data which has found from this type that occur in AM album.

1. In part of Do I Wanna Know song lyric, there is kind of transition of concrete into abstract things. There is found the word of feeling which is an abstract thing that own for every human. Whereas the word of flows from the verb of flow is a concrete thing because it can be seen for every human. But, it is not the actual meaning and it is about the feeling which flowing into two directions by the feelings of do not want to let go but try to let go at the same time due to the songwriter has broken up to his lover.

If this feeling flows both ways (9th line)

Also, there is the word of heart which is an abstract thing whereas the word of open is a concrete thing because it usually used within conversation by the sentence as well as open the door. But, the word of open has the meaning as an expression whether is there still a feeling to the songwriter or opposite, because the songwriter‟s relationship actually has already over.

Been wondering if your hearts still open (24th line)

2. In part of R U Mine song lyric, there is kind of transition of concrete into abstract things. There is found the word of she which is an expression for woman and it is a concrete thing whereas phrase of lone ranger from

15

Universitas Sumatera Utara

American movie about hero, is an abstract thing. As we know that a hero indicates for „someone has been waiting for‟. At that time, the songwriter was really admired her/his lover which constantly dreamed of it even in daydream that always came to haunt.

She's a silver lining Lone ranger riding through an open space (5th line & 6th line)

Also, there is the word of she is an expression to indicates and also it is a concrete thing whereas the word of climbing is an abstract thing which it usually used in sentence in order to do sport or activity of ascending cliffs. On the other hand, it also be interpreted as „step into‟ due to there is sentences of on my desire subsequent to climbing word.

B. The Song Lyrics of Arctic Monkeys through AM Album

Do I Wanna Know Have you got color in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the type That sticks around like summat in your teeth? Are there some aces up your sleeve? Have you no idea that you're in deep? I've dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found That makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat Until I fall asleep, spillin' drinks on my settee

If this feelin' flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sortahopin' that you'd stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you Ever thought of callin' when You've had a few? 'Cause I always do Maybe I'm too Busy bein' yours To fall for somebody new Now, I've thought it through Crawlin' back to you

So have you got the guts? Been wonderin' if your heart's still open And if so, I wanna know what time it shuts Simmer down an' pucker up, I'm sorry to interrupt It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of tryin' to kiss you

I don't know if you feel the same as I do But we could be together if you wanted to

If this feelin' flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sortahopin' that you'd stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you (crawlin' back to you) Ever thought of callin' when You've had a few? (had a few) 'Cause I always do ('cause I always do) Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) Busy bein' yours (bein' yours) To fall for somebody new Now, I've thought it through Crawlin' back to you

If this feelin' flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sortahopin' that you'd stay (Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day (Do I wanna know?) Too busy bein' yours to fall (Sad to see you go) Ever thought of callin', darlin'? (Do I wanna know?) Do you want me crawlin' back to you?

R U Mine I'm a puppet on a string , time-traveling Diamond cutter-shaped heartaches Come to find you four in some velvet morning Years too late, she's a silver lining Lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when she's not right there beside me

I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?" Well, are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? Oh, ah

I guess what I'm tryna say is I need the deep end Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes Unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days Great escape, lost track of time and space She's a silver lining climbing on my desire

And I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?" Well, are you mine? (are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (are you mine, mine?)

And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways So in case, I'm mistaken,

I just wanna hear you say, "You got me, baby Are you mine?" She's a silver lining Lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when she's not right there beside me

I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is "Are you mine?"

Well, are you mine? (are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (are you mine tomorrow?) (Or just mine tonight?)

One for the Road One for the road, ooh ooh One for the road, ooh ooh

From the bottom of your heart The relegation zone I saw this coming from the start The shake, rattle and roll The cracks in blackout blinds Cast patterns on the ceiling but you're feeling fine I thought it was dark outside I thought it was dark outside

So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor There's no need to show me round baby, I feel like I've been in here before I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go Will you pour me one for the road?

I knew this would be on the cards I knew you wouldn't fold I saw this coming from the start The shake, rattle and roll

One for the road, ooh ooh

So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor There's no need to show me round baby, I feel like I've been in here before I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go Will you pour me one for the road?

The mixture hits you hard Don't get that sinking feeling, don't fall apart Some out of tune Soundtrack to disaster

Ooh ooh, one for the road Ooh ooh, one for the road Ooh ooh, one for the road Ooh ooh, one for the road

So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor There's no need to show me round baby, I feel like I've been in here before I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go Will you pour me one for the road?

Arabella Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots And a HelterSkelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit And when she needs to shelter from reality she takes a dip in my daydreams

My days end best when this sunset gets itself Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes

As Arabella As Arabella Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure

Arabella's got a seventies head But she's a modern lover It's an exploration, she's made of outer space And her lips are like the galaxy's edge And her kiss the color of a constellation falling into place

As Arabella As Arabella Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure

That's magic in a cheetah print coat Just a slip underneath it I hope Asking if I can have one of those Organic cigarettes that she smokes Wraps her lips round the Mexican coke Makes you wish that you were the bottle Takes a sip of your soul and it sounds like.

Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure

I Want It All Blind faith Heartache Mind games Mistakes My sweet fireball My sweet rigmarole I want it all I want it all

Old dogs New tricks Can you feel it? Space age country girl

Stone cold miracle I want it all I want it all

And then suddenly it hit me it's a year ago Since I drank miniature whiskey and we shared your coke Ain't it just like you to kiss me and then hit the road Leave me listening to the stones 2000 light years from home

Call off the search for your soul or put it on hold again She's having a sly indoor smoke She calls the folks who run this, her oldest friends Sipping her drink and laughing at imaginary jokes As all the signals are sent Her eyes invite you to approach And it seems as though those lumps in your throat That you just swallowed have got you going

Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on Number one party anthem

She's a certified mind blower, knowing full well that I don't May suggest there's somewhere from which I might know her Just to get the ball to roll Drunken monologues, confused because It's not like I'm falling in love, I just want you to do me no good And you look like you could

Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on Number one party anthem Come on, come on, come on Before the moment's gone Number one party anthem, yeah, yeah

The look of love The rush of blood The "she's with me" The Gallic shrug The shutterbugs The Camera Plus The black and white and the color dodge The good time girls

Mad Sounds Mad sounds in your ears, they make you feel alright They bring you back to life Mad sounds in your ears, they make you get up and dance They make you get up Yeah, they make you get up

Love buckles under the strain of those wild nights Run but you cannot hide Mad sounds in your ears, they make you get up and dance They make you get up All night long they reappear They make you get up and dance Yeah, they make you get up

Suppose you've gotta do what you gotta do We just weren't feeling how we wanted to You sit and try sometimes but you just can't figure out what went wrong Then out of nowhere somebody comes and hits you with an Ooh la lala, ooh la lala

Fireside

I can't explain but I want to try There's this image of you and I And it goes dancing by in the morning and in the night time

There's all these secrets that I can't keep Like in my heart there's that hotel suite and you lived there so long It's kinda strange now you're gone

I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found Has it gone for good? Or is it coming back around? Isn't it hard to make up your mind? When you're losing and your fuse is fireside

There's all those places we used to go And I suspect you already know But that place on memory lane you liked still looks the same But something about it's changed

I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found Has it gone for good? Or is it coming back around? Isn't it hard to make up your mind? When you're losing and your fuse is fireside

12

Universitas Sumatera Utara

And I thought I was yours forever Maybe I was mistaken but I just cannot manage to make it through the day Without thinking of you lately

I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found Has it gone for good? Or is it coming back around? Isn't it hard to make up your mind? When you're losing and your fuse is fireside

Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High The mirror's image Tells me it's home time But I'm not finished 'Cause you're not by my side

And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving Carrying your shoes Decided that once again I was just dreaming Of bumping into you

Now it's three in the morning And I'm tryna change your mind Left you multiple missed calls And to my message you reply "Why'd you only call me when you're high?" "Hi, Why'd you only call me when you're high?"

Somewhere darker Talking the same shite I need a partner Well are you out tonight?

It's harder and harder to get you to listen More I get through the gears

13

Incapable of making alright decisions And having bad ideas

Now it's three in the morning And I'm tryna change your mind Left you multiple missed calls And to my message you reply (message you reply) "Why'd you only call me when you're high?" (Why'd you only call me when you're) "Hi, why'd you only call me when you're high?"

And I can't see you here, wonderin' where am I Sort of feels like I'm runnin' out of time I haven't found all I was hoping to find You said you gotta be up in the morning Gonna have an early night And you're starting to bore me, baby "Why'd you only call me when you're high?"

"Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?" "Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?"

"Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?" "Why'd you only ever phone me when you're (high)?"

Snap Out Of It What's been happening in your world? What have you been up to? I heard that you fell in love Or near enough I gotta tell you the truth

You got the lights on in the afternoon And the nights are drawn out long And you're kissing to cut through the gloom With a cough drop colored tongue And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high And I thought you might be mine In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night In the right place and time

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks

Well you cured my January blues Yeah, you made it all alright I got a feeling I might have lit the very fuse That you were trying not to light You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew 'Cause I had nothing to lose When the winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true Ain't it funny what you'll do

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks

The late afternoon The ghost in your room that you always thought didn't approve of you knocking boots Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of your Knee socks
