Razorlight - Somewhere Else Lyrics






You're an emotional wreck
You don't know who you are
You never say what you mean
And you keep your mouth shut
And your knife stays still
And then you come and call on me

You say I just can't help myself
I really really wish I could be somewhere else
than here

And I met a girl
she asked me my name
I told her what it was
She looked at me
I tried to explain
Exactly what I lost

But now I just can't help myself
I really really wish I could be somewhere else
Than here
You give me everything I need
but I really really wish I could be somewhere else
Than here

Just anywhere else
Just anywhere else than here

And I wont forget
No I wont forget
No I wont forget

And when I saw you there it was the first time
And you just walked on by
I was catching the sparks that flew from your heels
And trying to catch your eye

But that was
somewhere else
somewhere else
somewhere else
I really really wish I could be
somewhere else
somewhere else
somewhere else
I really really wish I could be
'Cause I just can't help myself
I really really wish I could be somewhere else
than here

And no I just can't help myself
I really really wish I could
I've got everything I need
I really really wish I could be
somewhere else
somewhere else
somewhere else
I really really wish I could be

    @Gambo Easy mistake to make. Just as long has you don't think wonderwall was Oasis's best song 😂😂

    I was the same, I went to see them at victorious festival this summer thinking I know 2 or 3 of their songs and ended up singing three quarters of their set. Brilliant live band too

    S.... S....

    in the morning is kind of shit. America is good and Golden touch is their best

  18. C.... F....

    "But that was somewhere else
    Yeah somewhere else, somewhere else
    I really, really wish I could be
    Somewhere else, somewhere else, somewhere else
    I really, really wish I could be
    Cause I just can't help myself,
    I really, really wish I could be
    Somewhere else than here
    And no, I just can't help myself
    I really, really wish I could
    I've got everything I need
    I really, really wish I could be
    Somewhere else, somewhere else, somewhere else"

    This song describes how I've felt for years but here I am still stuck here...

  38. G.... O....

  39. l.... c....

    Still doing the festivals, great band

    Absolutely fucking awesome

  41. H.... L....

  42. M.... N....

    Track is so great

  43. S.... G....

    Is this video all about preferring to just be down the pub?.......

  44. A.... F....

    They started the barricade of swearing on the live eight gig.

  45. L.... H....

    They are back☺

  46. m.... ....

    video was made in London right? use to live there some scenes look very familiar. anyone know where abouts? awesome song btw

  49. M.... L....

    Absolute gem

  50. n.... j....

    Bruver and steph I love you both, Helen too x

  51. M.... ?....

    Great band really like Johnny's swagger but lyrically they weren't great!! I do love the catchy chorus on this song but you can't start a song with a made in Chelsea type voice singing "Your an emotional wreck! It just makes me cringe every time!!

    M.... ?....

    MaggieshanGammer ? But it's punchy!!!

  52. N.... D....

    i was catching the sparks that flew from your heels.....

  53. D.... K....

    Big influence on the Killers apparently . . . .

  54. T.... A....

    Or as just view s. As day

  55. m.... ....

    This was popular on the radio while my dad was dying in the hospice it became my anthem off his illness as "i'd rather be anywhere else than here". Been over a decade dad and i still feel as raw as if it were yesterday when i hear this love and miss you

    m.... ....

    kind of upbeat for a parent dying song lol!

    m.... ....

    @taliwakka27 your time will come...remember your harsh words when it does

    m.... ....

    ​@laguna757 My mum already died.
    Don't worry, one day you won't be so sensitive about it

    m.... ....

    @taliwakka27 she will have been so very proud of you.

    m.... ....

    @laguna757 haha, you're so empathetic aren't you? You seem like a great person, keep on "comforting" that guy

  56. m.... n....

    loved this tune back in the day thought razorlight wir gonny be huge, they done ok then fell off the radar, it must sicken bands that play thir own music especially recording albums 2 get not just the vocals but the instruments 2, then this bellend cowell has not just 1 karaoke of the year with the xfactor where he sneers at any1 who comes on stage with a guitar, then you've got that other shite BGT, its a joke and u wander how many other good music playing bands slip through the net due 2 the power that cunt cowell has, a don't even bother with music now don't know whos in the charts n don't care back in the 90's u had oasis blur the charletins the blue tones the sea horses the levellers ocean colour scene it was a golden era 4 indie music and this cunt murdered it,  he will never be forgiven at my end

    m.... n....

    Aggreed. Cowell is a bell end whos program churns out shite year in year out. there is good, new music out there, its just not mainstream anymore i guess. fuck knows? either way these are a cracking band.

  57. S.... D....

    They played in my town!!!😍💜

  58. M.... W....

    I love Razorlight . I'm a postman and I've seen Razorlight pure times. I love it when Johnny goes mad at the band. Let me work for you Johnny I will kick fucking ass. I need a new job at the moment.

  59. M.... ....

    i dont care how shite the lyrics are, this song is fucking brilliant, a classic from my childhood and one i'll always love....

    M.... ....

    Love the lyrics lol that's what attracted me, somewhere else you never felt it

    M.... ....

    @Irene Hatch I like the "catching the sparks that flew from your heels, trying to catch your eye" line :)

    M.... ....

    Lyrics might be shite but everyone can relate✌

    M.... ....

    whos bad? Michael jackson and little Brad Nothing like the crap slang in today’s music! This is lyrics with 1,000% sense in it.

    M.... ....

    sounds like you knew more about music as a kid. Before you became a pretentious lyric lover 😆

  60. N.... D....

    BASIC TRAINING ATR LICHFIELD 2005 Hackett Troop 28th trg Regiment Royal Signals, the whole base was singing this, who wouldn't wanna be somewhere else!

  61. D.... G....

    this band is forever etched in my memory, I had the best times of my life with these in the background

  62. M.... ....

    i dont know why im here, dumb lyrics aside, there's just something about this track, i love it and always will.....

  63. D.... K....

    Just catch the sparks . . . . . . !

  64. D.... K....

    Good song . The guys obviously sleeping rough , his mates won't buy him a pint and you lot slag him off . No wonder he wishes he was somewhere else instead . . . . . . . . . . .

    D.... K....

    Debbie Keates is a twat

  65. B.... B....

    I put on the video and saw him standing there so I thought Fak this I'm not watching the damn video and I put the phone face down and listened to the song.
    then, when I picked up the phone just before the song finished, I found out that he'd been standing in the same place the whole song. Am I right or a marangue?

  66. M.... T....

    top tune, I just can't help myself

  67. S.... H....

    He looks like Munro Chambers so much.

  68. P.... F....

    great i think the boys in the wishing well same

  69. D.... A....

    Perfect. Shit.

  70. L.... B....

    Love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍

  71. L.... B....

    😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  72. L.... W....

    "I just can't help myself"

  73. O.... E....

    hahahaha..

  74. M.... P....

    Noel Fielding on the bench at 1:16 (yes I know it's not him, sure as shit looks like him. Same weird pointy face)

    M.... P....

    Mr Pombal always thought that myself 👍

    M.... P....

    Having not seen the video I read your comment with scepticism (I've read many a comment where someone has declared someone else a celebrity lookalike even if they look nothing like the celebrity in question), but honestly you're not wrong, the guy does have something of a resemblance to Noel Fielding.

  75. M.... P....

    Wtf ever happened to this band? They were massive at one point, then pffft. Gone

    M.... P....

    Modern bands that release good tunes are only capable of 1-5 tracks before imploding. Case in point.

    M.... P....

    Indie died :(

  76. k.... ....

    Tune !!! I just can't help myself

  77. E.... E....

    He kinda looks/sounds like a young Bob Geldof!

    E.... E....

    He's not a bellend like Bob Geldof though.

    E.... E....

    The Dogs Bollocks He's a total Bell end

    E.... E....

    Evelyn E I said that at the beginning

    E.... E....

    Evelyn E he is hot af

    E.... E....

    Unlike Geldof, he appears to have a modicum of talent.

  78. a.... ....

    he is my aesthetic

  79. L.... L....

    looks like jagger + iggy

    L.... L....

    & Bob Geldof

    L.... L....

    One heck of a threesome, if anyone agrees with me?

  80. C.... F....
