Broken Social Scene - Boyfriends Lyrics






They say they're gonna love you to the end of time
But they're not, no they're not
They say they're gonna try to keep an open mind
But they're not, no they're not

And they'll promise kids
And they'll promise love
They'll try to teach you things, things you already know

(Boyfriends)

Try to sing you songs about the open skies
But they're not, no they're not
Write you letters saying that their gonna die
But they're not, no they're not

And they might need a pet
They might need a mom
They're gonna come with threats
About you staying young

Let's get you out of here
Let's get you out of here
There's no need my dear
Let's get you out of here

(Boyfriends)

They say they'll try to release you from the golden smile
But they're not, no they're not
They say their gonna keep you from dramatic cries
But they're not, no they're not

And they'll become their dicks
Puke on your heart
They're gonna make you sick
It's gonna get real dark

Let's get you out of here
Let's get you out of here
There's no need my dear
Let's get you out of here

(Boyfriends...)

(Men today can't live in living rooms)

(Men today can't live in living rooms
They can't live in living rooms)

(Boyfriends...)

  1. S.... P....

    thing that i liked the most in this videoclip -- 2013 vibes

  2. r.... f....

    I madly wait for a LP as good as the first 4 were...
    I used to love everything they do before, I lestened so many time, wait for a new for 7 years, but...
    The last is just average indie sound work...
    It's sad but is the truth

  3. B.... V....

    This is awesome

  4. R.... M....

    I miss this bands material from Feels good Lost to 2010... this and Hugs just arn't cutting it.

  5. E.... ....

    impossible to describe how much I love this band and how their music makes me feel. hopefully they come to europe at some point.

  6. a.... r....

    When is a girl group gonna sing a song about how destructive and meaningless GIRLS can be to boys? It works both ways. Plenty of boys get their hearts broken by girls and "girlfriends"...smdh
    Boy or girl....you are BOTH evil.

    a.... r....

    Well shit man

    a.... r....

    People suck... theres no need to bring sex into the situation is all I'm sayin...
    That said I still love this song for its feels

    a.... r....

    @Shayla Imran I'm just saying there is a genuine strength in admitting your faults....and guys have been genuinely overlooked in their own struggles in life....and categorized...and this song is clearly aimed at girls; weak girls at that, who see the world in black and white... there are alot of people,man or woman, who go through this same shit.....its ostracizing men as the bad guys.....this band needs to stop preying on young girls to get their attention....and money.. .but then again it's so convoluted what with all their 'members' it's not even a band.. .

  7. h.... ....

    Who the hell are these nobodys to tell Morrissey anything? They Obviously stole his style.

  8. a.... r....

    It's a good sign that I always get goosebumps when I listen to this.... I like this song so much

    a.... r....

    3:10 -end ....I'm in tears at this point....

  9. M.... S....

    Good stuff. :)

  10. Q.... S....

    Is this shibby new music from BSS??? YESHHHH let's see if it adds up..more plz

  11. e.... f....

    a great band not only in its own right, its amazing the talent they spawned

  12. K.... A....

  13. t.... ....

  15. T.... S....

    I feel like the visuals tell a story but I can't exactly make out all of it

  16. w.... d....

    Every watch reveals a new lol-ism. Think Faster. Die Less.

  17. v.... d....

    oooh, how we missed you all, our broken social scene!!! this song‘s so YOU and the video is superb🖤 um... on point!🖤🖤🖤 welcome back🥰

  18. S.... L....

  19. i.... ....

    Love the song--Video is spectacular--Could watch hours of this.

  20. s.... ....

    Great song but music video is cringe

  21. C.... R....

    Same exact drum beat as our face splits the coast in half lol

  22. S.... L....

    bravo!!! i love this, a dear and important band

  23. T.... K....

    This song is great. There's nothing wrong with deriving from your previous work, it's just improving on it...this is beautiful!

  24. R.... R....

    1:29 the 1975

  25. S.... F....

    Seems like a nod to Phoenix's "Girlfriend" musically

  26. A.... B....

    LOVE FROM MEXICO!!

  27. F.... G....

    BRILLIANT AS USUAL!!!!! It's so great to have you back <3
    Please please please NEVER STOP!!!

  28. A.... W....

    These guys are SO derivative they often rip themselves off, and multiple times at that! This record quotes from countless BSS classics as well as the seminal records those records were based on... but at the end of the day, if those hairs on the back of your neck are standing up, who cares?

    A.... W....

    well... fuck... god damn it... well fuckin put

  29. D.... R....

    Great song!!! Love the gif referencing The 1975, too! Hope you guys put out a full length within the next couple years. Bless you all.

  30. N.... A....

    Broken Social Scene siempre hace música buena wn, gran video!

  31. t.... ....

    This is wonderful. Thank you, BSS! So excited to hear the full EP.

  32. D.... U....

    Absolutely love this!! Articulates my sentiments this Valentine's Day lol

  33. B.... ....

    I needed this.

  34. g.... ....

    BSS isn't one to copy off of themselves. But this sounds like songs off of Broken Social Scene, many of which sounded similar. This is why that's their weakest album.

    g.... ....

    BSS isn't one to copy off themselves, but you have to admit that the style of music they play is very self-referential in a good way-- as in, they've developed a distinct sound that belongs to them alone. This is what we love about them. Aside from this sounding VERY "typically BSS", I really do not hear the similarities to their second album you are describing. Can you point out which songs you are referring to?

  35. A.... M....

    Boyfriends for the pressure kids.

  36. D.... ....

    Happy valentines day lol

  37. D.... M....

    Darlings vibe ♥

    D.... M....

    Daniel Mendoza Garza that’s what I thought too!

  38. T.... P....

    You know what's fun? Playing a show for Windsor, Ontario!!

  39. K.... ....

    Sooo digging these graphics

  40. J.... C....

    Love the little Feel Good Lost gif reference <3

  41. C.... P....

    Soooo good, just like every time! So many reasons why they've been my favorite band for decades, add another to the list! Thank you Kevin Drew, please continue to provide the world with your art! 👉🏻👌🏼

  42. T.... K....

    Stoked for Friday even more! Happy to have you all back from the hiatus. Keep on creating!

  43. E.... G....

    AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
