You Only Live Once
The Strokes Lyrics
Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, oh
Inside they might feel sad and wrong, oh no
Twenty-nine different attributes
Only seven that you like, oh
Twenty ways to see the world, oh
Twenty ways to start a fight, oh
Oh, don't, don't, don't, get up
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Oh, men don't notice what they got
Oh, women think of that a lot
One thousand ways to please your man, oh
Not even one requires a plan, I know
And countless odd religions, too
It doesn't matter which you choose, oh no
One stubborn way to turn your back, oh
Oh, this I've tried and now refuse, oh
Oh, don't, don't, don't, get up
I can't see the sunshine
Oh, I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you, alright
Shut me up
Shut me up
And I'll get along with you

Lyrics
Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others, they seem so very nice-nice-nice-nice, oh
Inside they might feel sad and wrong, oh, no
Twenty-nine different attributes
Only seven that you like, oh-oh
Twenty ways to see the world, oh
And twenty ways to start a fight, oh
Oh don't, don't, don't get up
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Oh, men don't notice what they got
Oh, women think of that a lot
One thousand ways to please your man, oh
Not even one requires a plan, I know
And countless odd religions too
It doesn't matter which you choose, oh, no
One stubborn way to turn your back, oh
This I've tried and now refuse, oh
Oh don't, don't, don't get up
I can't see the sunshine
Oh, I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Alright
Shut me up, shut me up
And I'll get along with you

SABÍAS QUE:
El estanque en el que se grabó el video de "You Only Live Once" de #TheStrokes representa los pulmones de los miembros de la banda y el líquido que los ahoga lentamente mientras tocan, es el alquitrán del cigarro llenando sus pulmones.
Julian Casablancas declaró respecto al significado del video:
"People tell us all the time we're gonna die from smoking, but you only live once."
“La gente nos dice todo el tiempo que moriremos por fumar mucho, pero ni modo, tú sólo vives una vez”.
Gabriela Vieira

It doesn't matter which you choose (oh, no)
One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho)

Today is my first time listening to The Strokes. I came across them while researching strokes for my Neuro exam tomorrow 😂. Sooooo glad I found them, this song has been on repeat ever since.
Xevo234
so here I am, 1 month after you, first time I hear The Strokes, after couple of songs I really like the vibe. The funny thing I found them by finding The Lonely Island song Boombox where the singer from The Strokes sings
Okifurbi
And next time you are looking for a Mexican recipe you'll discover the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

That is excellent. If you haven’t listened already, Is This It and Comedown Machine are amazing albums 😍
