Catfish And The Bottlemen - Sidetrack Lyrics

Reminds me of Arctic Monkeys early stuff for some reason.

yeah i'll be needing that life back

Love this - another banger 😍

Incredible song!

yay that lyric where van refers to god as a she.

Evan W. Newton I was just gonna say that lmao

Like the smashing pumpkins a bit

Best song ❤️❤️

real good stuff man

I got off a plane
As if you're holding up a card with my second name
For a start
Will you wait for me?

'Cause the driver insists
If we're gonna duck the traffic then we'll take the bridge
So we do
And you wait for me

'Cause when I think about it
Everything about it
Just led me up your drive again
You're saying I
Should be everything you want

Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that's been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I'm feeling the backlash

And you try shifting blame
But if I'm tryna talk to God and she's forgot your name
You won't get through
But you wait for me

And the driver insisted
Now we took the quickest route, but God I'm not convinced
Now that's through
I'm far away from you

Cause when I think about it
Everything about it
Just led me up your drive again
You're saying I
Should be everything you want

Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that's been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I'm feeling the backlash

I'm going out of the prospect
Haven't you thrown enough at me
And you're not feeling the exact
Same feelings for me back
Yeah, fuck that

For all I know I always try
To meet you A.S.A.P, why?
'Cause nothing ever good when you're stuck on the line

Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that's been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I'm feeling the backlash

I still go mad at the prospect
Oh you throw enough at me
And you're not feeling the exact
Same feelings for me back
Yeah, fuck that

This is the one

I went to see them in Sheffield the other week

The truth man the truth it hurts but at least it’s healing and beautifully composed

I want an acoustic version!! 😍

The beat of this song just makes me feel some type of way... And the lyrics. Fuck me.

Class ♥️

Slowly but surely becoming my favorite off this record

I got off a plane
As if you're holding up a card with my second name
For a start
Will you wait for me?

'Cause the driver insists
If we're gonna duck the traffic then we'll take the bridge
So we do
And you wait for me

'Cause when I think about it
Everything about it
Just led me up your drive again
You're saying I
Should be everything you want

Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that's been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I'm feeling the backlash

And you try shifting blame
But if I'm tryna talk to God and she's forgot your name
You won't get through
But you wait for me

And the driver insisted
Now we took the quickest route, but God I'm not convinced
Now that's through
I'm far away from you

Cause when I think about it
Everything about it
Just led me up your drive again
You're saying I
Should be everything you want

Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that's been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I'm feeling the backlash

I'm going out of the prospect
Haven't you thrown enough at me
And you're not feeling the exact
Same feelings for me back
Yeah, fuck that

For all I know I always try
To meet you A.S.A.P, why?
'Cause nothing ever good when you're stuck on the line

Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that's been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I'm feeling the backlash

I still go mad at the prospect
Oh you throw enough at me
And you're not feeling the exact
Same feelings for me back
Yeah, fuck that

OMG these guys are awsome, how r they so underrated

I LOVE THIS SONG

❤️ love this song

Absolutely love the chorus

Anyone else thought it went “now I’m not being sidetracked by all this blasphemy”... actually goes “by all that’s been asked of me”

This is my favourite song of the album!

best track on the album

Lyrics
I DART OFF A PLANE
AS IF YOU’RE HOLDING UP A CARD WITH MY SECOND NAME
FOR A START
WILL YOU WAIT FOR ME?
‘CAUSE THE DRIVER INSISTS THAT IF WE’RE GONNA DUCK THE TRAFFIC THEN WE TAKE THE BRIDGE
SO WE DO
WILL YOU WAIT FOR ME?

WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT
EVERYTHING ABOUT IT
THAT’S LED ME UP YOUR DRIVE AGAIN
IS SAYING I
SHOULD BE EVERYTHING YOU WANT

NOW I’M NOT BEING SIDETRACKED
BY ALL THAT’S BEEN ASKED OF ME
YES I’LL BE NEEDING THAT LIFE BACK
BEFORE I’M FEELING THE BACKLASH

YOU COULD TRY SHIFTING BLAME
BUT IT’S LIKE TRYNA TALK TO GOD AND SHE’S FORGOT YOUR NAME
YOU WON’T GET THROUGH
STILL YOU WAIT FOR ME
AND THE DRIVER INSISTED THAT WE TOOK THE QUICKEST ROUTE BUT GOD I’M NOT CONVINCED
NOW THAT’S THROUGH
I’M 5 AWAY FROM YOU

AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT
EVERYTHING ABOUT IT
THAT’S LED ME UP YOUR DRIVE AGAIN
IS SAYING I
SHOULD BE EVERYTHING YOU WANT

NOW I’M NOT BEING SIDETRACKED
BY ALL THAT’S BEEN ASKED OF ME
YES I’LL BE NEEDING THAT LIFE BACK
BEFORE I’M FEELING THE BACKLASH

OF GOING MAD AT THE PROSPECT
OF YOU THROWING LOVE AT ME
AND YOU NOT FEELING THE EXACT
SAME FEELINGS FROM ME BACK
YEAH, FUCK THAT

FOR ALL I KNOW I ALWAYS TRIED TO MEET YOU A.S.A.P
WHY?
‘CAUSE NOTHING’S EVER GOOD
UNLESS THERE’S SOMETHING ON THE LINE

AND NOW I’M NOT BEING SIDETRACKED
BY ALL THAT’S BEEN ASKED OF ME
YES I’LL BE NEEDING THAT LIFE BACK
AND I’M NOT FEELING THE BACKLASH

I STILL GO MAD AT THE PROSPECT
OF YOU THROWING LOVE AT ME
AND YOU NOT FEELING THE EXACT
SAME FEELINGS FROM ME BACK
YEAH, FUCK THAT

Fucking banger! 🔥

why are there 8 dislikes????

OMFG THIS IS SO GOOD

People say this album is safe and just more of the same . Is that a bad thing though? I'm loving it.

Defend the house battlegrounds agree with u pal. why change shit that work the best how it is. if they want change, listen to another band

[Verse 1]
I've got
Off a plane
As if you’re holding up a card with my second name
For a start
Will you wait for me?
‘Cause the driv-er, insists
That if we're gonna duck the traffic then we take the bridge
So we do
Will you wait for me?

[Pre-Chorus]
When I think about it
Everything about it
That’s led me up your drive again
Saying I
Should be everything you want

[Chorus]
Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that’s been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I’m feeling the backlash

[Verse 2]
You could try shifting blame
But if I tryna talk to God and she’s forgot your name
We won't get through
Will you wait for me?

And the driver insisted
That we took the quickest route but God I’m not convinced
Now that’s through
I’m five away from you

[Pre-Chorus]
When I think about it
Everything about it
That’s led me up your drive again
Saying I
Should be everything you want

[Chorus]
Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that’s been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I’m feeling the backlash
I'm going mad at the prospect
Of you throwing love at me
And you're not feeling the exact
Same feelings from me back
Yeah fuck that

[Bridge]
For all I know I always tried to meet you A.S.A.P, what?
Cause nothing’s ever good
Unless there’s something on the line

[Chorus]
And now I’m not being sidetracked
By all that’s been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
And I’m not feeling the backlash
I still go mad at the prospect
Of you throwing love at me
And you're not feeling the exact
Same feelings for me back
Yeah fuck that

come to Argentina, babies 💙

come to Brazil again, babies...

don't come to Argentina...

reminds me of soundcheck

Ah juvena que isso

what👏a👏bopppp👏👏👏👏

I havent been so obsessed with a band since The Beatles, and I can actually see these live (Sheffield if anyone is going).... Fuck God I have Van

This is much better than other band out this days,, if you agree hit 👍👍👍

love it!

Love this record, except for conversation lol

Keep listening . Conversation is a grower.

Defend the house battlegrounds yeah probably, i haven’t given it too much time. tbh that’s how it always is with new records nowadays, dead songs at first become absolute bangers.

🇧🇴❤❤❤🇧🇴

YYYAAYYYY NEW MUSIC

The bass at 1:08 OH MY GOD

oml its incREDIBLE

For realll

thought i was the only one that noticed this SO GOOOD

@praisecth Literally just watched them live yesterday at Sydney and fuck..THE BASS PART WAS SO AUDIBLE AND CLEAN

Love the build up in this song

Have they ever made a bad song?

JuiCe01 oxygen

@Thomas Chabowski it's not terrible . They've made worse.

The second album isnt great.

Defend the house battlegrounds true . But this new one doesn’t seem to be to great either . At least from what I’ve heard so far

intermission, it is a serius case

no doubt this will good live but recorded version is pretty dead, needs a kick up the arse.

I don't think they'll play it live as much considering it's a... sidetrack

Underrated response😂👌

Have you heard the chorus?

Completely agree😂👍

U alright in the head budtttt his song is wat is played when u enter heaven

Now, this is my favorite song of CATB👍

This or tyrants atm

Can't they make bad music? No they can't... I love it

YES! NOTTINGHAM

What does this song have to do with Nottingham?

@Emily Xx they played it live for the first time ever in nottingham

tom scott ahh I was there and completely forgot

@Emily Xx ayyy me too

Like the tune just don't feel a whole lot of passion on Van's behalf

it sounds so good!

i thought the same, it's great

best song on the album. got that harsher sound to it

Makes me think of kings of Leon

Banger tbf
