IDLES - Slow Savage Lyrics
It was dark and cold as a knife when we tussled through the pines
You can howl at the bed sheets
Scream at the moon if you like
But it won't help me some, won't help me if we die
But it might help me some, might help me if you cry
I said, "There's no amount of time to carry the weight"
La da dai, la da dai, la da dai, la da dai
La da dai, la da dai, la da dai, la da dai
'Cause I'm the worst lover you've ever had
I'm the worst lover you'll ever have
For two years in a row I forgot your birthday
For two years in a row I thought it was a Thursday
Maybe it was God
Maybe it was coke
Maybe I'm a drunk
I don't know
But at least now I remember your birthday
'Cause I'm the worst lover you'll ever have
Hands down, goddamn worst lover you'll ever have
La da dai, la da dai, la da dai, la da dai
La da dai, la da dai, la da dai, la da dai
'Cause I'm the worst lover you'll ever have
I'm the worst lover you'll ever have

IDLES Slow Savage Comments
Love this song, brings me solace in times of strife and failure! Bravo 👏
Best album closer EVER
That song .... that goddamned song
Spectacular. First time hearing this.. I was listening to an interview on Jonesy Jukebox and the Idles were mentioned, that's how I found my way here.
I had depressions... was totally on drugs.. cold winter morning... play brutalism for first time, after 3 songs i fell asleep but this beautiful song wake me up.. and i fell in love with Idles... this song remind me of mad world, beautiful world by ratm or hold on by limp bizkit... such a extraordinary type of music for these days
Truly, deeply spectacular.
fucking 🖤
Experiencing this album for the first time today. Magic.
Absolument sublime !!
"... there's no amount of time to carry the weight!"
Ooooooh yeahhhhhhhhhh ❤
This song is one of the best,feel like it's sung from the 💓.Respect to you guys
That modulated delay on the strings...
I’ve barely discovered Idles and have been shuffling through their music over the past couple of weeks. On my drive home (15 min ago), this song came on and hit me.
How a band/person can so effectively grab hold of my attention and emotion is beyond me. This band is INCREDIBLE!
Any other songs kinda like this?
Green Man june on their latest album
@nordsman thx
@nordsman Gotta link? All I'm pulling up is an aughts Emo band band from Chicago.

What a gem. Hurts.
[Verse 1]
It was dark and cold as a knife when we tussled through the pines
You can howl at the bed sheets
Scream at the moon if you like
But it won’t help me some, won’t help me if we die
But it might help me some, might help me if you cry
She said, “Wait! We’ll be better if we wait, better if we wait”
I said, “There’s no amount of time to carry the weight”
[Chorus]
La da dai, la da dai, la da dai, la da dai
La da dai, la da dai, la da dai, la da dai
'Cause I’m the worst lover you’ve ever had
I’m the worst lover you’ll ever have
[Verse 2]
For two years in a row I forgot your birthday
For two years in a row I thought it was a Thursday
Maybe it was God
Maybe it was coke
Maybe I’m a drunk
I don’t know
But at least now I remember your birthday
[Chorus]
'Cause I’m the worst lover you’ll ever have
Hands down, goddamn worst lover you’ll ever have
La da dai, la da dai, la da dai, la da dai
La da dai, la da dai, la da dai, la da dai
'Cause I’m the worst lover you’ll ever have
I’m the worst lover you’ll ever have
You are one of the good uns, cheers
Why does background sound alot like the beginning part of red Dead redemption
I totally was thinking about this song played after arthur dies... it would be hell of depression
It is absolutely gorgeous and one you can listen to repeatedly. There's just one line that grates me- "for two years in a row I thought it was a Thursday". I almost forgive them because he sings so brilliantly and meaningfully, but if they could just take that line out and replace with a repetition of "for two years in a row I forgot your birthday" for when we see them live I'd be dead happy, I would!
why does that grate you
@arbear i'd think because a date (the birthday) can't fall on the same day of the week two years in a row but for me it adds to how fucked up and illogical his mental state is in the song, which works
Best Idles song xoxoxoxox
Check out "June"!
Randolph Lautsch I prefer this to June although June carries more emotional weight I prefer this song.
I like June but this still clinches it for me.
The best song I’ve heard for years. Music lives!
Honest goodness and beauty. Only the best men learn 👌
Probably the best 2017 record and probably the best singer... Joe Talbot sings like if the end of the world is about to happen in a couple of minutes. I'm stoked on "Brutalism" and dying for "Joy as an Act of Resistance"
Brilliant!!!
I wish i could erase this album from my memory so i can experience it again
Only just now ripped through the album - was insane experience blasting out loud, next up DT 770 Headphones!
I can’t get over this
Damn this his too close to home
intro reminds me a bit of Sweet like Honey
Or this https://youtu.be/pTunCVWzkFA
