Best rock song of last 10 years. What a band!!

[mlapamusic]

Turn this and then just keep turning.... Your speakers will hit their limit before your enjoyment does

[conoromelia]

I went to see Foals live in Dublin 2 days ago, this was the second last song they played.

They brought the fucking house down, WHAT A SHOW!

[Stoneman]

Foals are like fine wine, they get better with age

[samhadvisions]

I actually love the direction Foals are going. We got a glimpse of this with Inhaler on Holy Fire and they do it so well. Can't wait for the album.

[saint_gatsby]

it’s been eight years since this album dropped and I’m still ruined. I love FOALS! so glad Walter is back ❤

[RadioHPedroS]

The bit from 2:50 to 3:37 is one of the best musical experiences Ive ever had

[Linkmon]

Honestly might be my favorite song ever, not sure why but it just slaps so so hard

[heritagewoodfloors]

Possibly the most dynamic rock song ever created. Violence, suspence and expolsive tension with heightened anxiety and faint hope.Spine tinglingly awesome.My favourite song of all time.

[michalpiskorski]

Am I the only one who listened this song like 40 times since the release ?

[lucasrowe]

Everyone needs to experience foals live. My brain is still coming down from Monday's experience.

[Verse 1]
I buried my heart in a hole in the ground
With the lights and the roses and the cowards downtown
They threw me a party, there was no one around
They tried to call my girl but she could not be found

[Verse 2]
I buried my guilt in a pit in the sand
With the rust and the vultures and the trash downtown
So don't step to me, kid, you'll never be found
Cause while you were sleeping, I took over your town

[Chorus]
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a liar
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, I want ya

[Verse 3]
I fell for a girl with a port-wine stain
I knew her initials but never her name
I tried and I tried and I was never the same
So no longer felt love and I'm forever changed

[Chorus]
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a liar
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, I want ya
Give up my money, give up my name, take it away
I'll give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a liar
[Bridge]

[Outro]
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a liar
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, I want ya
Give up my money, give up my name, take it away
I'll give it away, give it away, I'll give it
I’m a sycophantic animal, I’m a sycophantic fool, I’m a sycophantic fool, I know
Break up the chain, I'll break up the chain, I'll break it
Give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a liar
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, I want ya
Give up my money, give up my name, take it away
Give it away, give it away, I'll give it
See you again, I'll see you again, I'll see ya
Give it away, I'll give it away, I'll give it
When I feel low, when I feel low, I feel it

When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a liar
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye, I want ya

[balistabalista]

[juanlmontejo]

I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more FOALS!!!!

[miguelitomarques]

That's a fucking awesome song. Holy fuck!

[dose]

This is my driving fast on the highway song...kick ass.

[uhhyeahokdude]

the most insane, brilliant, blood pumping song ever written and performed and filmed. the abrupt end to the chaos at the end of the video pulls you back to reality in the worst but best way. christ almighty.

[grafil]

2:53 molly, I can't stop listening to this song just from that point onward, so freaking gooood.

[louisehearne]

My daughter got me into this band and I'm so glad she did. This has got to be one of the best songs I've ever heard!!!

[adamcollier]

Underrated video. Goes so hard! The energy of this song is unreal. Have loved it since the day it came out.
