LYRICS:
Freudenfreude
Joy on joy
Cheerleader
Happy boy
Strong like bull
Vulnerable
Keep my people up
That’s my tool

Freudenfreude
Happy boy
Top seeder
Lucky coi
Heat seeker of a missile smile
Don’t let pricks take your inch to a mile

Freudenfreude
Badabing
She’s a freight train man
Watch her swing
Holy water eyes
Soft skin
Bricks and morter
Horizon begins

Sunbeams
Oh sunbeams
like God from your face

Gold sugar
Hues bright
when the salt is purer
Hold tight
Hold me to the bunsen burner
And let the waves
Crash in

Sunbeams
Oh sunbeams
like God from your face

Freudenfreude
Dopamine
Dance with time my boy
I’m a fiend
Watch the night swing by
Hold the scene
Hold aflame my boy
I’m a dream

Freudenfreude
Hot like fire
Docile prophet
puts a tune to my smile
Send it up
Like smoke to the sky
Drink my water til the river runs dry

Freudenfreude
Sister’s love
Hold the sword
So I’m soft to the touch
Hold the phone
Hold clutch
Watch me fly
Hold a mirror
To my Mother’s crying eyes

Sunbeams
Oh sunbeams
like God from your face

The official video for POP POP POP by IDLES

[wearehinterland]

Stew Baxter here, video director for POP POP POP.. hope you all like it ❤😜

[IDLESBAND]

Cathedral of trees over dilated eyes. A sea of screams under mackerel skies. Imposter, imposter, living in my head. Am I the spider in your bed? A dead canary and a thief for a king. A cheerleader valiant. But I will sing about love, love, love is the fing.

[radio-friendlyunitshifter]

Joe Talbot can make any clothes look like the best outfit ever worn

[bisaillion]

TANGK sounds like their radiohead phase. I'm here for it

[dipshit]

This song is seriously getting me through some difficult mental times. It's on repeat. And cathartic. Teaching me to remain strong while simultaneously showing compassion for others. Thank you, Idles, for the lesson.

[-sails-]

So nice of Joe to give the rest of the band the day off!

[cooperward]

This album was one of the most beautifully made and intriguing things I've ever had the honour of listening too. can't express how much love and respect I have for this band. LOVE IS THE FING

[maryburke]

This! And new Fontaines DC tomorrow !!! ❤

[ouxqfdv]

Don't let pricks take your inch to a mile. BEST ADVICE OF THE YEAR.

[tplayford]

This album has ONLY singles... all killer no filler...

Love the direction the boys are heading in.. big love

[zulalsevdehan]

I put on my headphones, turned up the volume, started the song, imitate Joe's movements, and shot my own music video in my head

[Luke.]

Glad to see that Joe also plays air drums when that sick snare beat comes in before the second verse.

[erikkudrna]

Freudenfreude! Changed my perspective on life. Thank you Idles!

[GMoneyMovies]

I love that Joe is wearing a promo hat for the album in the video. Also the use of color is so simple and so effective. Also the editing. Also a tremendous song. Aces all around, gents.

[samanthalimon]

Joe always casually wearing the hardest fits💅

[neleratos]

This song is absolutely addictive. Pure genius 🔥

[billiondoomed]

not very often you find a song as infectious as this.

got the emotion, the lyrics, the production, the sound design, the love, and the fing.

[oneill]

This track goes well with tea & toast in the morning, sip while the suns soaring.

[dopetipped]

100 percent in for wherever you want to take this project. Been an incredible ride thus far.

[joshwi]

You guys have grown so much, but you've never lost the resistance and the heart that keeps IDLES beating on. Much love from New Zealand is the fing ✌️
