[Edtollet]

An absolute classic, first LAV I ever discovered

[greenwitte]

The Kooks are still in daily rotation for me, after all these years

These vocals and the acoustic are just perfection. I used to watch this video all the time as a kid! This hottest 100 of LAVs really is a trip down memory lane loving it

[victorpetrosino]

Esse like a version me deixa muito feliz

[bryans]

the memories fade.. like looking through a fog mirror

[AdrienneNatalie]

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice was too loud
We liked to watch you laughing
You picked the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted


The water is warm
But it′s sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees
