Mogwai - Cody Lyrics






Of all I knew
I held too few
And would you stop me
If I tried to stop you?

Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way that it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself: would you care at all?

When I drive alone at night
I see the street lights as fair grounds
And I've tried a hundred times
To see the road signs as day-glo

Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way that it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself: would you care at all?

Old songs stay till the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way that it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself: would you care at all?

  2. D.... ....

    i think this is the first mogwai song that i thought was sad, but didn't make me cry when i listened to it for the first time. maybe it's because i was drawing that time

  3. R.... B....

    this brings back some painful memories

  4. F.... c....

    I toured Scotland recently, driving through the country sides with Mogwai playing, it was surreal, soothing. Just getting lost within the melodies and the scenery, it just fit, amazing band.

    "Sad songs remind me of friends." I miss my friends. From high school. From college. From grad school. From various jobs. I hate how life slowly carries you away from the people you want to be with. :(

  18. A.... R....

    Of all I knew, I held too few
    And would you stop me, if I tried to stop you?

    [Chorus]
    Old songs stay till the end
    Sad songs remind me of friends
    And the way it is, I could leave it all
    And I ask myself, would you care at all?

    [Bridge]
    When I drive alone at nights, I see the streetlights as fairgrounds
    And I tried a hundred times to see the road signs as Day-Glo

    [Chorus]
    Old songs stay till the end
    Sad songs remind me of friends
    And the way it is, I could leave it all
    And I ask myself, would you care at all?

    Old songs stay till the end
    Sad songs remind me of friends
    And the way it is, I could leave it all
    And I ask myself, would you care at all?

  19. I.... ....

    This song makes me feel like a crystal glass falling, in a thousand pieces. Listening for more than ten years, this huge emptiness that I have inside increases, this melancholy that make the present absent. I would like to fall asleep with this song in the background and do not wake up anymore

  20. �.... �....

    Here because of Rebus...

  21. K.... M....

    Damn this and my joint cured this night for me..

  22. f.... s....

    Me parece que esta canción es una de las mas logradas de esta superbanda. Esta canción nos deja a todos los que amamos esta musica muy satisfechos. Para mi es uno de sus mejores temas.

  23. V.... C....

    Fourth!

  24. B.... K....

    My best friend in the world died last week, his name was Cody.
    Our favorite song we used to listen to late at night before bed time was Close Encounters by Mogwai, while reminiscing of old time i started researching the band.
    They have an album called Come On Die Young, released the day before my friends birthday :(
    And the lyrics are way too fucking real.

    B.... K....

    Ben Jammin Kraft and Cody is a track from Come on die young...

    B.... K....

    Thats what i said

    B.... K....

    I've lost a fair few friends over the years and for various reasons this song makes me think of them too. Some wounds never truly heal.

  25. L.... B....

    just beautone
    iful as many of there song are Scottish tartan proud and talented

  26. J.... ....

    Saw this live a few months ago... such a beautiful moment in between all the heavy and loud songs.

  47. R.... B....

    Anyone else here from skins season 1 episode 2? That house looked pretty messy after that fight :')

  48. A.... S....

    This band started a never ending adventure. This style of music made me branch off and discover many artists and their songs that I may have never been aware of. I've traveled many miles and visited many places listening to my playlist. Mogwai may not be the main bad I listen to, but they started a movement within myself.. and for that I thank them.

    A.... S....

    Shōnen Pepe check out her name is calla

    A.... S....

    Listening to the song Condor and River atm and it sounds nice.
    Meanwhile another band that blew my mind is Because of Ghosts. Also Yndi Halda and Do Make Say Think both had excellent releases recently.

    A.... S....

    Angelo Spaccarotella if the stars had a sound. It would sound like this.

    A.... S....

    Listen to the stoop and Cotton wood firing squad. Similar experience with them x

    A.... S....

    @Earf all the new (good) ones are on bandcamp with up to 5 listeners

  49. t.... ....

    "Old songs, stay till the end.
    Sad songs, remind me of friends.
    And the way it is, I could leave it all.
    And I ask myself, would you care at all."

  56. S.... D....

    This song and album reminds of driving around the nicer parts of Mallorca at night.

    S.... D....

    Steven Davies greetings from a Spaniard :)

  57. S.... A....

    Of All I Knew, I shed a man tear to a great father I lost.
    Mogwai is the most humble, poetic and deep band I ever listened to.

  58. L.... T....

    Amazing

    Skins season 1 episode 2: Cassie. So nostalgic ;n;

    N.... M....

    Wish it was 2007 again :(

    N.... M....

    This song always reminds of Cassie and Sid. Especially the "Would you stop me if I tried to stop you?" line.

  71. D.... P....

    Donnie Darko :oo

  72. B.... S....

    Hey, now. 
    Donnie Darko. 
    Nice. 

  73. b.... ....

    I like the Galaxie 500 feel to the vocals on this one

  74. S.... ....

    When I listen to "Come On Die Young", I think of melancholy during the Winter time. It feels like Mogwai is putting us in the head of a man. This is most prominent in "Helps Both Ways" with the broadcaster from the TV fading in and out throughout the song. Someone is deep in thought and breaks concentration to pay attention to the TV once again. 

    The best experience I've ever had listening to "Come On Die Young" was one night I watched snow fall through an outside street lights glow. It fits perfectly for Mogwai's forgotten album.

  75. R.... ....

    my favorite song from mogwai

  76. P.... G....

    I Mogwai  sono tra qui gruppi che cominci ad apprezzare piano piano,il loro primo album che acquistai lo feci a scatola chiusa ogni tanto mi piace farmi delle sorprese,ed era "Happy Music for Happy People"e sinceramente quando lo ascoltai non mi entusiasmò più di tanto, poi ascolto dopo ascolto cominciai ad apprezzarli sempre più.

    Words cannot express the raw human energy this makes me create. It makes me want to do this human existence over again. So much I could have made right to make this life better, I could have turned this planet of souls into a better place for them to exist until they move on.
    I hardly know what I'm saying, but it's what came out.

    N.... ....

    couldn't have said it better

  78. B.... V....

    This melody makes me stop what I'm doing and just tune out the rest of the world.

    Amazing. Mogwai can help you in any stage of your life

  80. M.... O....

    I lost my mother almost five years ago, for a breast cancer. This song makes me think of her, but in a comfortable way, I am not sad. Thanks Mogwai

    I know this is 5 years old but sending you good vibes and lots of love, friend <3

    M.... M....

    It’s okay to be sad. Sometimes I wish I could be sad, and if makes me... well, sad isn’t the word. Empty? Discontent? Longing? Nostalgic? If you can feel sad, it means you loved something, it means you can still care. That’s a wonderful thing through the pain...
