Better Than That
Miles Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When Mister Brown said he felt good
I tell you it's no lie
I feel better than that (I feel better than that)
When Johnny and the Silver Beatles
Had your volume high
Maybe it's the time or place
Or maybe it's your stupid face
That's turning me on
Maybe it's the crowded room
Or maybe it's the bass drum boom
That's kick this song
I feel better than that (I feel better than that)
The first time that you saw Bardot
Inside you really glow
But I feel better than that (I feel better than that)
You had a crush on Brando and
You tingle down below
But I feel better than that
Maybe it's the strobing lights
Or maybe it's the music
That is turning me on
Maybe it's your Go-go hair
Or Maybe it's the cracking snare
That's hitting this song
I feel better than that (I feel better than that)
One four letter word is the sole reason why
Let me spell out for you
L-O-V-E
I'm talking about love
Take a locomotive
Whith its head and full of steam
I feel better than that (I feel better than that)
Like a Saturn CS rocket with a
Rollercoaster scream
I feel better than that
Maybe it's the time or place
Or maybe it's your stupid face
That's turning me on
Maybe it's the crowded room
Or maybe it's the bass drum boom
That's kick this song
I feel better than that (I feel better than that) (x4)
The song "Better Than That" by Miles Kane talks about how the singer is feeling great and better than some of the things that could make them feel good. The lyrics mention different things that usually trigger happiness or excitement, like the music of the Beatles or the sight of a beautiful woman, but the singer has something that makes them feel even better than that. There's a hint of ironic self-importance in the lyrics, as the singer boasts about feeling so good that maybe it's because of their "stupid face" or the "crowded room." The song concludes with the realization that love is the ultimate reason for feeling so good.
The lyrics of the song are filled with cultural references that might resonate more with an older audience, but the overall message of feeling great and invincible is universal. The song has a fast and upbeat rhythm that makes it perfect for dancing or moving with energy.

@mokhira7561

@MikesPeterkane
What can you say about
My songs?🎵
@zoej1844
I love how he mentions Bardot and the Beatles in here. What a classic mod he is. I read somewhere that in his house he has pictures everywhere of them both.
@zoej1844
The quarrymen just had paul and john and a few other fellows in it, though. Ringo and George weren;t in it yet, and the others left, but yeah basically!! :) The old names of the beatles were Johnny and the Moon Dogs and the Silver Beatles, so he must have mixed them, I guess!!
@zoej1844
Oh haha I didnt know! I mostly know all of this stuff because my sister is obsessed with the beatles and she made me watch the John Lennon movie with her. She's a mod, like Miles Kane.
@MikesPeterkane
