Do It Again
The Anderson Shelter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't need no helmets
Just need a hard, hard head
Don't need to tell me
Don't need to tell me what she said

Don't need no armour
Just need a thick thick skin
Don't need to holla
Just got to let her in

Make yourself comfortable
It's you that's so vulnerable
This conversation's gonna go on
And on and on and on and on and on and on...

I've got you in my head
Spinning me round, and round, and round
Bringing me down, and down, and down
Let's do it again, again, again...

I've got you in my head
Spinning me round, and round, and round
Bringing me down, and down, and down
Let's do it again, again, again...

Don't need no intellect
Just got to show your love
Don't mean no disrespect
It's not your brain I'm thinking of

Don't need to cover up
I wanna be with your naked soul
So just shut that mouth up
Shut up and do as your told

Make yourself comfortable
It's you that's so vulnerable
This conversation's gonna go on
And on and on and on and on and on and on...

I've got you in my head
Spinning me round, and round, and round
Bringing me down, and down, and down
Let's do it again, again, again...

I've got you in my head
Spinning me round, and round, and round
Bringing me down, and down, and down
Let's do it again, again, again...

Spinning me round
Bringing me down

I've got you in my head
Spinning me round, and round, and round
Bringing me down, and down, and down
Let's do it again, again, again...

I've got you in my head
Spinning me round, and round, and round
Bringing me down, and down, and down
Let's do it again, again, again...

I've got you in my head
You're spinning me round




You're bringing me down
Let's do it again

Para los que se preguntan, por qué no están en estas canciones en Spotify, Deezer o iTunes? Si estuvieron, pero por alguna razón desconocida la banda "the Anderson Shelter" se separó, borró/retiró todas las canciones por algunos problemas internos, y desapareció sin dejar rastro alguno.
Los últimos rastros de actividad que hay de la banda estaban en Myspace pero también borraron el perfil.
Hasta ahora solo se han encontrado 6 canciones de esta banda, las demás se perdieron y están vagando en internet.

Puede que lo que diga no sea verdad, solo son recuerdos vagos de cuando tenía 12 años, tuve curiosidad por la banda cuando jugaba PES 2009 y escuchaba estas canciones.
Las demás canciones de esta banda son consideradas "Lost Media", y nunca se encontrarán.

Final triste para una banda con mucho potencial.

No soy dueño de la verdad absoluta y puede que otra persona pueda desmentir y tener mas pruebas reales sobre esta banda.

For those wondering, why aren't these songs on Spotify, Deezer or iTunes? Yes they were, but for some unknown reason the band "the Anderson Shelter" broke up, deleted / removed all songs due to some internal problems, and disappeared without leaving a trace.
The last traces of the band's activity were on Myspace but they also deleted the profile.
So far only 6 songs by this band have been found, the others have been lost and are roaming the internet.

What I say may not be true, they are just vague memories of when I was 12 years old, I was curious about the band when I was playing PES 2009 and listening to these songs.
The other songs of this band are considered "Lost Media", and will never be found.

Sad ending for a band with a lot of potential.

I am not the owner of the absolute truth and maybe someone else can deny and have more real evidence about this band.

Que momentos cuando estaba niño. Después de hacer tarea era jugar pes por la tarde y esas canciones me dejaron marcado al igual a muchos.
El último juego de PES que juegue. Abrazo a toda la vieja escuela del pes.
