Phoenix - (You Can't Blame It On) Anybody Lyrics






You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you

Fallin' down I couldn't notice
She had some glasses on
Few broken bones in the process
I try to keep my attitude

Words of love in broken English
They have a lonesome tone
Didn't understand must be Italian
Must be good looking undressed

You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you

With lil' care and lil' practice
I got to know her well
Light baritone she sings in a choir
With a bunch of guys out of tune

Day is night, right is wrong
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Obsolete, odd is even
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired

You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you

    You can't blame it on anybody
    Some things they don't last
    You can't blame it on anybody
    I thought I'd entertain you
    Let me take you to the heart of the city
    Let me misunderstand you
    Fallin' down I couldn't notice
    She had some glasses on
    Few broken bones in the process
    I try to keep my attitude
    Words of love in broken English
    They have a lonesome tone
    Didn't understand must be Italian
    Must be good looking undressed
    You can't blame it on anybody
    Some things they don't last
    You can't blame it on anybody
    I thought I'd entertain you
    Let me take you to the heart of the city
    Let me misunderstand you
    With lil' care and lil' practice
    I got to know her well

  41. T.... T....

    I love Phoenix so much.

  42. g.... ....

    Phoenix is one of the most chillest bands i've ever listened to. Yeah, so what if they don't make sense? The music they make is great and i love em

  43. c.... ....

    @KristyB5 my favorite line haha

  44. R.... D....

    How can someone say love is evil that is a strong strong statement especially in a song. It does have a nice melody but god grief I cant get over Love is evil.

  45. k.... ....

    I need to find a honey who speaks sweet Italian... ;)

  46. B.... J....

    how is this song not more popular?

  47. A.... A....

    @Zabuza28 lol thanks!

  48. Z.... ....

    The name of the song is You Can't blame it on anybody. Not can.

  49. A.... J....

    @guyfromkorea
    Not true at all. There is a large majority of Americans whose musical interests don't include anything like Justin Bieber. My favorite music all comes out of Europe, but there are a lot of American musicians I love. Don't group an entire country based off the musical interests of a few.

  50. v.... ....

    Phoenix is just a great fucking band man. They take it to many different places

  51. g.... ....

    You Can't Blame It Anybody, some things that don't last

  52. a.... ....

    when i listen to this, i understand why they sometimes call musicians 'artists'.

  53. g.... ....

    they need to perform in New Jersey sometime ^_^

  54. R.... M....

    Seriously, I love Phoenix because they're albums don't sound the same but they're all awesome. Thank you for not being scared to switch your style up and still make a great work of music.

    Love you guys!!

  55. M.... P....

    good :D

  56. b.... ....

    great PHOENIX.

  57. e.... ....

    this bass is groovin!!!!!

  58. e.... ....

    wow!!!! i dig!!!!

  59. m.... ....

    most artists write lyrics after the rest of the song is done, like an after thought almost. sometimes there is nothing to understand in the lyrics!

  60. I.... O....

    i love pheonix, and I'm black:)

  61. R.... T....

    Amazing band! :D

  62. a.... ....

    i just love the underlying base in this song.

  63. S.... ....

    "Love is all, love is evil"... so true... My favorite song from phoenix! Awesome track

  64. c.... s....

    Phoenix are truly an addiction to listen to

  65. c.... s....

    truly an addiction

  66. l.... ....

    if u listen to anybody who tries to explain a situation in english when they don't speak it well... it would sound like this song . sincere too.

  67. c.... s....

    @lockandload29 how is that "broken english"?

  68. l.... ....

    the song is so intellegent, the fact that it's written in broken english. it's reminds me of good and bad memories :)

  69. u.... ....

    I don't hear the lyrics the first 20 or 30 times I hear a song, just the melody, sonics and instumentation. So if they make no sense...who cares? the track is dope! They are very eclectic, this to 1901..wow.

  70. T.... T....

    Or maybe they like to produce a wide variety of music? There is no need to cut down Phoenix or Sophia Coppola. It doesn't "sound" like anything.

  71. a.... ....

    Yeah this is one of the songs on this album I cant completely decipher. The verses and the chorus imply that he has met a girl and understands that it is a temporary fling but the bridge is what confuses me. The bridge alone is well written and profound, but doesnt match with the rest of the song. Whats your idea?

  72. C.... ....

    ur not a shit?

  73. M.... H....

    Wow! very good!

  74. A.... R....

    i like the lyrics the beat also ^^
    but i dont understand what the lyrics meant, can anyone tell?

  75. A.... A....

    i know, they are great!!! =)

  76. v.... ....

    pheonix pheonix!!! :D

  77. D.... B....

    i did i watched there myspace and i have songs of them

  78. A.... A....

    if you like it you should check out more of their songs :)

  79. D.... B....

    that is a really nice song!!!!! xD

  80. A.... A....

    wow, you're welcome :)

  81. j.... d....

    I've been looking for this song for like decades. Thank you very much for posting this. XD
