Catch Me
Bandits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard she drove a silvery sports car
Along the empty streets last night
Hanging around with hairdos like mine
No, I haven't seen the kids for some time

Picked up her shoes from the red-brick stairway
Just like a harpsichord as she moves
And back upstairs at half past two
With a paper folded outside the loo

Rain falls like Elvis tears
Oh no, no sugar tonight
Out on the high streets
Dim all the lights now
Bright color tears again

[Chorus]
Baby, don't forget to catch me
Don't forget to catch me
Don't forget to catch me

Hold on princess, don't you think that it's time
On the platform with a drizzle in my eye

I had a friend from over the harbor
He said he stayed with a neighborhood girl
And sometimes when it won't go right
I can hear his voice inside me at night

Rain falls like Elvis tears
Oh no, no sugar tonight
Out on the high streets
Dim all the lights now
Bright color tears again

[Chorus]

Hold on princess, don't you think that it's time
On the platform with a drizzle in my eye

[Chorus]

Hold on princess, don't you think that it's time




The ticket in my hand,
The train pulls down the line

Line by Line Meaning

I heard she drove a silvery sports car
I was told that she drove an expensive car last night


Along the empty streets last night
She was driving alone in the deserted streets


Hanging around with hairdos like mine
She spends time with people who have similar hairstyles to me


No, I haven't seen the kids for some time
I haven't had any contact with my children in a while


Picked up her shoes from the red-brick stairway
She collected her footwear from the staircase made of red bricks


Just like a harpsichord as she moves
Her footsteps sounded like a musical instrument, the harpsichord


And back upstairs at half past two
She went back to her apartment at 2:30 in the morning


With a paper folded outside the loo
She had a folded newspaper outside the bathroom


Rain falls like Elvis tears
The rain falls heavily, just like how Elvis used to cry


Oh no, no sugar tonight
There is nothing sweet about this situation


Out on the high streets
The roads in the busy area


Dim all the lights now
Turn off all the lights


Bright color tears again
The vivid and colorful tears appear again


Baby, don't forget to catch me
Please don't let me fall or forget about me


Hold on princess, don't you think that it's time
Wait a little longer before making any decision, my dear


On the platform with a drizzle in my eye
I'm standing on the train platform with teary eyes due to the light rain


I had a friend from over the harbor
I had an acquaintance from across the harbor


He said he stayed with a neighborhood girl
He mentioned about spending time with a local girl


And sometimes when it won't go right
At times, things don't go as planned


I can hear his voice inside me at night
I recall his words of advice at night


The ticket in my hand,
I'm holding the train ticket


The train pulls down the line
The train arrives and moves along the railway line

Wenn ich diesen Song höre, dann habe ich eine Sehnsucht in mir. Eine Sehnsucht nach absoluter Freiheit und einem Ort, an dem es nichts schlechtes gibt und jeder Mensch so sein kann, wie er/sie es will
