Take Us Somewhere New
Mr Hudson & The Library Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Come on, come on)
'Cause we can brave the cold
(We brave the cold)
The night is on freeze frame
(It's on but double brandies)
Triple blaze the cold from my soul
I search for my Panama
Even though the summers
Which once were ours
Have died
Take us out tonight
In the backside of your
Take us somewhere new
You've got to take us out tonight
In the backseat, please
Take us somewhere new
I say we drive all night
(Come on, come on)
Forget my temperature
(We'll brave the cold)
I love the motorway
The weather never let us roam
So wide or so far
Just keep 'em peeled for the exit light
Even though
The ballads that once I wrote
Have died
Take us out tonight
In the backside of your
Take us somewhere new
You've got to take us out tonight
In the backseat, please
Take us somewhere new
Take us out tonight
In the backside of your
Take us somewhere new
You've got to take us out tonight
In the backseat , please
Take us somewhere new
I say we step outside
'Cause we can brave the cold
The night is on freeze frame
And double brandies triple blaze the cold
From my soul
Triple blaze the cold from my soul
I say we step outside
'Cause we can brave the cold
The night is on freeze frame
And double brandies triple blaze the cold
From my soul
Triple blaze the cold from my soul
Take us out tonight
In the backside of your
Take us somewhere new
You've got to take us out tonight
In the backseat please
Take us somewhere new
Anywhere will do
Take us out tonight in the backseat of your Corvette
Take us out tonight in the backseat of your Corvette
Take us out tonight in the backseat of your Corvette
Take us out tonight in the backseat of your Corvette
Take us out tonight in the backseat of your Corvette
Take us out tonight in the backseat of your Corvette
Take us out tonight in the backseat of your Corvette
Just dig a shallow grave
How much will you save
By staying here
Just dig a shallow grave
How much will you save
By staying here
You've got to take us out tonight
Somewhere new, anywhere will do
Anywhere will do

Be aware of opportunities to exit the highway

The ballads that once I wrote
The songs that I used to compose
Have died
Are no longer relevant

By staying here
Remaining in the status quo
Somewhere new, anywhere will do
Let's explore uncharted territory
