Jake Bugg - There's A Beast And We All Feed It Lyrics






They grin but they don't mean it
They sing but they don't feel it
They're gone but they don't see it
They can call but they can't heed it
They think but they don't speak it

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
And they all feed it

Stop
Moment, try to freeze it
They find and they don't seek it
At the bar but they can't meet it
Try their best but they can't beat it
Nice car, somebody keys it

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
And yes they feed it

I'm not a finger pointer
I will not cry your name
For yeah brothers and sisters
We are one 'n' the same
But when my sister suffers
And when my mother cries
All I want to do
Is look in someone's eyes and say

You sleep and you don't dream it
You're sly but you don't seem it
You're busy as a flea pit
You struggle to perceive it
Is it hard to believe it?

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
And yes you feed it

I'm not a finger pointer
I will not cry your name
For yeah brothers and sisters
We are one 'n' the same
But when my sister suffers
I am my mother's child
All I want to do
Is look in someone's eyes and say

Somehow we'd better speak it
We're scared someone will tweet it
It's on the wall but you won't read it
It's gone before you see it
We all dread to repeat it

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
And yes we all feed it

    @Christian Enrique
    I listened to a song or two and it smelled a little like gum or at least pointed in the general direction.
    My taste has always been of the grid with a small group of self minded devoted fans .
    I may be prejudice in my standing but the more genial the further my love wanes , for one to many bands that became overly popular :(

    I like this song, There's a Beast, and we all feed it, better than I do, Hotel California.Though I think they both address the same subject matter, this one seems to  "say" it better.  Also, because it better captures "the Sixties" than Hotel California does - which is very popular still, amongst "hippies".  See, 1 John 2: 15-16, kjv .... The fallen nature of man... the world... "I have seen the enemy, and the enemy is us" - POGO.... He came so that the body of sin might be destroyed. See, Ro 6:6, kjv.

    r.... y....

    you are crazy as fuck :D completely bonkers hahahaha

  22. L.... L....

    wasn't there a video for this?..

  23. S.... S....

    Did Bob Dylan write this?

  24. d.... ....

    This tune was brought to my attention thanks to the Vauxhall Corsa ad. Working in a place where commercial radio in constantly playing I hear this track at least 4 times an hour. To say it grates doesn't begin to scratch the surface... that irritating fat Go Compare fucker is a welcome relief compared to this. Jake Bugg I fucking HATE you for releasing this.

    d.... ....

    +deptford85 lel I'm in the same boat m8, but I still like the track!

  25. D.... C....

    Your doing good in life jake 😉

    To compare Jake with Bob is impossible. As Bob sang:  "Times are changing"

  62. S.... T....

    Visit my channel for the lyrics :)

  63. B.... ....

    He was fucking magic live

  64. Q.... c....

    Love you <3

  65. C.... ....

    Reminds me of Trouble Town.

  66. A.... R....

    A true artist !!!!!

  67. k.... m....

    Love this song! I went to see him at the cavern, then Manchester on Wednesday. The amount of talent this kid has.

  68. T.... P....

    Sweet & Simple.

  69. A.... ....

    Jake, I think you are my favourite person in the whole entire world ever.

  70. D.... B....

    Going by the title I thought this was gonna be political. One of my favourites this is

  71. C.... N....

    Omg, i love this song.

  72. D.... ....

    STOP! 

  73. c.... m....

    i love this songggf so muchhh i love you jakeyyy

  74. S.... H....

    Fucking hell.  A second CD that's just as good as the first!!!    :)))))

    S.... H....

    Fancy seeing you here :)

    S.... H....

    @Fistful Of Pennies *waves in a friendly way* 

    S.... H....

    just as good, maybe... *gasp* better

    S.... H....

    Couldn't agree more Si. His first CD was/is one helluva debut offering. My only complaint is " Love Me The Way You Do " is not on it. Then he hits us with Shangri La....AWESOME.
    Jake has a very old and wise head on his young shoulders, you just need to listen to his lyrics to see that. That fact, combined with his massive talent ensures he is going to be around for a long, long time...and I for one will not be complaining about that.

    S.... H....

    @BlitzkriegBoogie Dare I mention Noel Gallagher?  Jakey reminds me of him.  

  75. m.... v....

    I hope this song has a video :)

    m.... v....

    maria vasquez harley and the davidsons series

  76. b.... ....

    All music has it's place (yes, even top 40 pop) but I'll always come back to Jake <3 nothing beats his original sound/voice/talent/amazingness. :)

  77. S.... T....

    Visit my channel for the lyrics :)

  78. k.... v....

    Really good

  79. K.... J....

    His music is original and I've never heard anything like it. Definitely one of my favorite artists and I'm counting down the days until Monday!!

  80. A.... C....

    Me recuerda a Lighthing Bolt :3

  81. A.... R....

    This song needs to be longer!!!

  82. H.... R....

    So good, just fucking class <3

  83. G.... p....

    Grate job

  84. L.... M....

    I LOVE IT !!
    AMO TODAS SUS BENDITAS CANCIONES (:

  85. J.... ....

    Wonderful Jake!! And so weird for him to nod at the modern age "scared that you'll tweet it"

  86. E.... K....

    Why Jake Bugg?
    His voice
    His age
    His talent
    His songs
    The way he plays
    He reborns the folk,the country,the rock
    He's a genius
    Others Reas0ns?!
    Yes but i can't write evryreasons to listen to This Genius Jacob Kennedy ( Jake Bugg)

    E.... K....

    Enzo Kaci
    Sorry to burst your Bugg-Bubble but he didn't write all his songs. He has writers,which kinda neutralizes your ridiculous "genius" comment.

    E.... K....

    Easy Tiger ;-)

    E.... K....

    Old soul. Like Del Rey :)

  87. A.... B....

    I am really angry, because the taxes are so damn high in my country, I can't even buy the CD! I'll have to wait until I go to Europe next year, it's ridiculous. And they still say "Piracy is bad !"...

  88. R.... ....

    *Unreasonably happy*

  89. R.... ....

    A real toe tapper this one :). I'm trying my best not to listen to all of these before the album drops on Monday but its to hard not too. This lads a genius. 

  90. E.... N....

    He's such a beast!! This is music to my ears. Want more of this in the music industry! Give me some real music!

  91. S.... M....

    it's kinda like troubled town

  92. N.... H....

    He opened his last gig in England last night with this song. It is soooooo good

  93. T.... S....

    Listen this!! We´re a new band. 
    Do us a favour! The Sharrocks - The Last Place Where I saw you (Demo) 
    Thank You!

  94. c.... ....

    s breath of fresh air.............the alternative is the shit produced by one direction miley cyrus et al...............hail musicians !!!
