Portishead - Sour Times Lyrics






To pretend no one can find
The fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
Courtesies that I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

Covered by the blind belief
That fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows, no need to lie, enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

Who am I, what and why?
'Cause all I have left is my memories of yesterday
Oh these sour times

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

After time the bitter taste
Of innocence, descent or race
Scattered seeds, buried lives
Mysteries of our disguise revolve
Circumstance will decide ....

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you do

'Cause nobody loves me
It's true
Not like you
Nobody loves.. me
It's true
Not, like, you.. do

  14. M.... N....

    Großartig

  15. S.... B....

    Amazing song. Sounds as if it should be one of the soundtracks on a Soviet spy film or of a secret agent being chased by the secret police thru the streets of Prague when the country was known as Czechoslovakia or thru the streets of Sofia in Bulgaria (or perhaps even to accompany the Bulgarian umbrella assassinator in London during the early 80s)

    S.... B....

    So you mean a Bond film !!

  16. d.... ....

    Trip hop is some of my favorite music to listen to... So chill and relaxing... <3

    I just created a playlist with Portishead tracks, Bjork, Misfits, Folk Implosion, Devo, Frank Sinatra, Massive Attack, etc.. gets me through work. This song and many others from the band defined my teen years.

    A.... J....

    Hit and sunk. But, honestly, they have autonomous dignity. This is to be made clear.

  35. D.... L....

    Just found Dummy in a box of CDs in the attic. Got me wondering what happened to these guys. One of my favorite songs. Saw them live round right when Dummy came out. Pokey little place in Nottingham or maybe Leicester. Doesn’t feel that long ago.

  36. T.... T....

    Yup, 2019. She’s so fine and sounds so good.

  37. M.... P....

    silent hill anyone ??

  38. e.... r....

    Banda de culto.

  39. B.... H....

    The nineties were to mainstream music what the seventies were to mainstream film. Imagine a cut like Beck's "Loser" or this track on top 40 radio today

  40. D.... P....

    To pretend no one can find
    The fallacies of morning rose
    Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
    Courtesies that I despise in me
    Take a ride, take a shot now
    'Cause nobody loves me
    Its true
    Not like you do
    Covered by the blind belief
    That fantasies of sinful screens
    Bear the facts, assume the dye
    End the vows no need to lie, enjoy
    Take a ride, take a shot now
    Who am I, what and why
    'Cause all I have left is my memories of yesterday
    Oh these sour times
    Who am I, what and why
    'Cause all I have left is my memories of yesterday
    Oh these sour times
    After time the bitter taste

  41. P.... F....

    Marvel Studios Black Widow movie

  42. v.... ....

    Slinky, sexy, sultry.

  43. R.... J....

    I loved you when you were mine ♡♡

  44. c.... t....

    So dark but so cool

  45. K.... R....

    Yah a Bond song .

  46. R.... S....

    I have to confess to preferring much more the b/w version of this, more gritty.

  47. A.... J....

    "Nobody Loves Me..." 🎶🎵💙 LuV it!

    A.... J....

    I love this song

  48. t.... t....

    This is so Cowboy Bebop

  49. I.... l....

    An early 2000 band I was looking into made a decent cover of this song and I digged deep enough to find this song :p the bands name was “shortie” for anyone wondering and the song was a cover so it’s under the same name, look it up if you don’t mind the early 2000’s nu metal ish sound (the best version of theirs in my opinion is off their “worthless smiles” album)

  50. A.... E....

    THIS BEAT SOUNDS LIKE ESPIONAGE.

  51. E.... C....

    When i feel down and lonely i play this.

    Then i smile and feel happy again. Love it 😍

  52. n.... ....

    original, sad core

  53. Z.... P....

    6 AM créeme ...

  54. B.... D....

    Not even 2 millions views: what the hell is wrong with this planet?

  55. b.... ....

    Ekşi sözlük :')

  56. N.... S....

    Perfect theme song for the vice!

  57. S.... ....

    0:14 sorry but the move played just gives up the queen for nothing. Black should play Knight to g3, forking the king and queen and white resigns.

  58. f.... t....

    Evertons 95 fa cup run reminds me of the traveling to all the cities across England that year seemed gloomy and grey...

  59. F.... ....

    Teenagers who think Billie Eilish is edgy never heard of Tricky and Portishead.

  60. A.... J....

    Wow, I forgot how awesome this song sounds. Yes,. I am that old. I treasure the memories.

  61. K.... Z....

    Only vocal add :(

  62. A.... L....

    Suena Mamalon

  63. c.... p....

    for those of us who have walk the dark road ....

  64. R.... ....

    This song for the Black Widow movie and that's it, that's the comment.

  65. S.... A....

    yeah i can definitely hear the silent hill

  66. T.... ....

    heard it on ecstasy one time, couldn't finish the song.

  67. t.... ....

    2019 anyone?

    t.... ....

    Mad men

    t.... ....

    Me baby

    t.... ....

    @dornravlin Welcome to the party!

  68. D.... A....

    Γιατί ότι άφησα είναι οι αναμνήσεις του παρελθόντος
    ...

  69. l.... e....

    0:14 stupid move mate

  70. H.... R....

    Portishead are one of the main and most important groups of the genre Trip Hop or Sound of Bristol, as well as the Massive Attack. Luckily I have three albums of this brilliant and wonderful trio. DUMMY (from 1994), PORTISHEAD (from 1997) and the excellent live album, ROSELAND NYC LIVE (from 1998). Congratulations to the Portishead for their magnificent artistic career. Beth Gibbons is one of the best voices in the UK! Only masterpieces!

  71. M.... ....

    3:03 The real Joel everybody.

  72. I.... C....

    When it wasn't uncommon to use music videos to create art unlike today when they're used to advertise softcore porn.

  73. A.... ....

    It brought me here because I like grunge

  74. W.... ....

    This takes me back in time to 1995 at the Horeshoe Coffee House in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Blvd.

  75. O.... T....

    Portishead is from another world...

  76. S.... G....

    What the fuck is going on in this video?

  77. n.... ....

    Hypnotic song, mesmerizing lead singer - incredibly stupid video.

  78. A.... O....

    SILENT HILL´S MAIN THEME INSPIRATION

  79. L.... U....

    Love Beth Gibbons!!!!!

  80. J.... B....

    Defying genre categorization what a vox humana

  81. M.... ....

    Intrigue . One has to learn one is alone ultimately. Everyone is expendable . Everyone has a price .

  82. a.... ....

    Love the sample of Lalo Schifron… The *cimbalom* adds a textured tension
    to the piece and flows nicely throughout the song. I agree with many that this
    is what a *Bond theme* should be... *sinister and mesmerizing.* Not just
    another excuse for Sam Smith to cry his way to the top of the charts, again.

  83. H.... B....

    She is ever so alluring.

  84. A.... A....

    SILENT HILL <3

  85. O.... I....

    Timeless. Haunting vocals. A pre millennium Anthem.

  86. J.... H....

    Le meilleur morceau de l' album "dummy" Des portishead ! ( Cela fait penser a la musique de Lalo shifrin Sur certaines de ses bandes originales qu'il a fait pour certains films ) . Un fan de cet album sorti en 1994 .

  87. A.... S....

    Marcia Marcia Marcia

  88. F.... N....

    you bad with saying civilized words, you cant say correctly sh words. you re ta r d

  89. F.... N....

    oral prostitution is your shame, not fame, you lesbian prostitute,criminal.

  90. M.... C....

    this video's the best for this tune with the replays & shit

  91. j.... ....

    And now we have trap. Fuck My brains because I just cant deal with it 😕

  92. d.... ....

    0:00-0:08 used to be a field day on the turn tables.

  93. m.... ....

    Lalo Schiffrin is the source of the sweet sample
