Tell Me
Idle Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll never know
Everything you could have been and even more
Don't be to blame
You gotta keep it moving on
Up the middle and out the end
Why kid yourself it's not so easy you pretend
When we're playing the game
I need you to
Tell me you're all right
It's not the end of our ride
Tell me you're uptight
Will you forget about yesterday
Pick up the pieces
And carry on
Don't look back
Don't regret
Don't become someone always holding on
Tell me you're all right
It's no the end of our ride
Tell me you're uptight
Will you forget about yesterday
You've said enough
Not listening
Not following
You've said enough
Take a seat in the back while I wait for you
Tell me it's daylight
It's not the end of our ride
Tell me you're uptight
Will you forget about yesterday
Tell me it's daylight
It's not the end of our ride
Dammed if it is
Dammed if it ain't
Will you forget about yesterday
Dammed if it is
Dammed if it ain't
Will you forget about yesterday
Tell me you're alright
Will you forget about yesterday
Tell me you're alright
Will you forget about yesterday

Still to this day one of my favourite bands of all time! So many good memories!
Kelly Dreadful
No joke, I have been searching for this band for 22 years and thought not long after 2001-ish. I saw them back in 2001 on tour here in Winnipeg at our now non-existent Le Rendevuz venue. Their original name was 'Slurpee Mondae' so that's what I had been searching for. This honestly made my day.
I even remember the other opener was Breach Of Trust. Was a STELLAR show!
Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
