Royal Blood - Cheap Affection Lyrics






I wanna be
All by myself
So take what you need
I don't want your help
Cause it'll rain on me
Like it did last night
Now you're out of your mind
Least you're out of your sight

Two years, two months, wishing too late
Shouldn't have let me go to waste
So long I know it's been awhile
Just ask and I won't fake a smile
Cause cheap affection passed me by
And God knows I paid the price
So convinced of paradise

Ten thousand ways
To tell the truth
Spoilt for choice
I just can't choose
But I'm an honest man
That's honesty
You should give it a try
Honestly

Two years, two months, wishing too late
Shouldn't have let me go to waste
So long I know it's been awhile
Just ask and I won't fake a smile
Cause cheap affection passed me by
And God knows I paid the price
So convinced of paradise

  1. A.... F....

    0:16 damn Mike does falsetto

  2. �.... I....

    Again..., How the hell did I found out this b-side so late?!

  3. J.... W....

    16 people were knocked out by sheer bass riff.

  4. L.... T....

    Who the fuck would dislike this lmao

  5. A.... M....

    I just got an unstoppable ad longer than the video itself... Dafuq Youtube?

  6. F.... P....

    Y’all kept this out of the album but decided to put she’s creeping in there? Some bullshit

  7. S.... D....

    This song is the shit, Royal Blood is the best band to emerge in the 2010's and I'm sure they have tons on great albums and songs that will be coming out in the future! This is the only band that I like every single song from including b-sides and covers, Royal Blood is amazing!

  8. P.... ....

    Why is this not on Spotify

    P.... ....

    That's an excellent question.

    P.... ....

    The 2 songs were released on the deluxe vinyl and they don’t want them anywhere else as a little treat for the vinyl owners

  9. A.... F....

    Las rolas están chidas

  10. F.... P....

    The two are like the Jesus of rock now

  11. C.... ....

    🔥🔥🔥💘

  12. S.... F....

    Hell yes

  13. J.... 7....

    They should release an album on b sides alone

    J.... 7....

    Yeah Ikr

  14. J.... 7....

    WHY THE FUCK WAS THIS NOT ON THE ALBUM!!!!!!

  15. G.... B....

    Dear god 😍😭

  16. H.... M....

    10 chainsmokers fans

  17. t.... p....

    Todas lo que componen debería estar en sus discos por que todo lo que hacen es muy bueno, que encuentren algo para poner como B-side pero no temas tan buenos y dejarlos solo como B-sides

  18. P.... B....

    Great Song! The best Part begin at 2:04 with the Guitar Solo. So cool!

  19. c.... ....

    can these two do any wrong? sensational

  20. j.... c....

    why was this not on the album

  21. C.... -....

    Damn what a cool song!

  22. L.... I....

    Probably have the best b side catalogue going...this track kicks serious arse

  23. J.... B....

    their b-sides deserve their own exclusive album. anyone agree?

    J.... B....

    Jayden Bennett I literally have the same pfp as u on instagram

  24. D.... N....

    I wish they'd release all their b-sides onto a cd.

  25. P.... H....

    They better play this!

  26. B.... L....

    Really wonder why it was cut. It's not like the Album was too long for additional songs to be included

  27. A.... G....

    hey does someone know how much bside are available from the new album? I know this one andalf the chance
    , is there more ?

  28. J.... A....

    Have you guys tried listening to the song at 0.75x playback speed? I feel like the original is too fast for a Royal Blood song. Slowing the song down really brings out the grittiness I love and am used to hearing from these guys.

  29. H.... M....

    That riff at 2:34 is eargasm bliss

  30. i.... ....

    Damn, that intro is nice. I would prefer if this was on the album instead of She's Creeping, but I guess it stylistically don't really fit with the rest.

  31. T.... ....

    Now I'm loving the new album, but I say this song and Half The Chance should have replaced Look Like You Know and Hole In Your Heart. Look Like You Know and Hole In Your Heart were the worst tracks on the album in my opinion, the songs on the Super Deluxe are much better.

    T.... ....

    TheVarietyBros I think look like you know is a good song I do however agree with you on hole in your heart.

  32. s.... ....

    I JUST FOUND THIS OUT BUT ITS SO GOOODDDD

  33. C.... B....

    They're just not very good at writing bad songs are they

    C.... B....

    Charlie Burnham She's creeping?
    It was quite a let down

    C.... B....

    @Urho Toivonen No.

    C.... B....

    Urho Toivonen The beginning of She’s creeping is pretty meh I’ll agree but the rest is good. All of their other songs are bangers from start to finish though

    C.... B....

    Random Dude777 I agree as well, she’s creeping’s beginning is kinda ‘dumb’ sounding but other than that it’s a really groovy QOTSA inspired masterpiece imo

  34. J.... H....

    WHY ARE ALL OF THEIR B-SIDES WORTHY OF THE ACTUAL ALBUM

    J.... H....

    Cos they're obviously only allowed 10 but still write like 12 - 15 songs. If I were them I'd just save these for a compilation album this year or next rather than having them as bonus tracks cos they'll be un-noticed this way.

    J.... H....

    i'd like to think they purposely put them on the B side as like an easter egg. kind of a nice treat sneaked in along with the released album. more of an incentive to purchase a vinyl copy too

    J.... H....

    Some songs just can’t be done to an immense standard when it comes to live shows. An album to needs to kick live to get that 100% perfection status. Maybe not as much Cheap Affection but the other songs that came out of the first LP.

  35. P.... ....

    I'm digging the shit out of the internet to find these two tracks in high quality, but I guess we'll rather achieve world peace

  36. B.... M....

    This is the first time I care about buying an Album, and they do this to me, they better release these songs for sale at some point or else Im going pirate again

  37. D.... ....

    when the album cant have all the good songs

  38. A.... ....

    oh geez! thanks a lot!

  39. Z.... S....

    Universes better than "She's Creeping"...

    Z.... S....

    Get rid of "Sleep" for this one

    Z.... S....

    You just gotta feel the song. It isnt a tradition rb song.

    Z.... S....

    She's creeping is a fucking good piece of music, all of it

    Z.... S....

    @Caleb Thomas but that's my favourite on the album

    Z.... S....

    Caleb Thomas Why remplace it? They should’ve just released both

  40. M.... R....

    I've yet to hear a bad Royal Blood b side, or in this case 'bonus' song. All of their b sides/bonuses collectively would make an outstanding album.

  41. G.... M....

    truckfighthers is that you?

  42. M.... C....

    They are not bad but I couldn't take two songs in a row with just octaves ;)

    M.... C....

    Michael Ciancetta
    Why? are you too good for "just octaves"? or just jealous that you'll never be famous as them, Mr. Unsuccessful musician?

  43. A.... .....

    reminds me of the hives

    A.... .....

    Up from the floor on the count of ten
    Oh you get up, you get down
    And you try it again! hahahaha

  44. J.... ....

    RB should release an EP of all the B sides

    J.... ....

    fantastic idea

    J.... ....

    Trevor Arndt Come On Over, Figure It Out and You Can be so Cruel made it from the B-sides

    J.... ....

    Trevor Arndt It really is a pain in the butt to use a youtube downloader to mp3, but it works. Thats how I get it into my library of music.

    J.... ....

    I believe a bunch of the b sides were released alongside the singles on Spotify, but they’re only available in Japan

    J.... ....

    Definitely Josh!

  47. L.... D....

    WHY WASNT THIS ON THE ALBUM?????? EXCUSE ME IM OFFENDED

    L.... D....

    neleh dunn it was like a deluxe vinyl thingy

    L.... D....

    neleh dunn This track is better than most on the album. Not an insult to the album, it's fucking great, but leaving this track off of it was insanity.

    L.... D....

    eh, i could see why they do it. kicking it old school baby. i remember those days. you flip the track around and it's like you got a whole bunch of extra goodies.

  48. S.... ....

    Thank you for this, bought the super deluxe but don't have a decent vinyl player to listen to it on.

    S.... ....

    send it to me ? it would be well used. ;)

  49. K.... D....

    Meh, the song goes all over the place. Still an amazing album.

  50. L.... ....

    Love how this is better than most of the songs on the new album imo

  51. A.... E....

    Julien Trez i think your just saying that cause both are rock duos with just bassist and drummer,... this song sounds nothing like them

    A.... E....

    Yes it does. And the break at 2:03 is basically "Blue Orchid" by The White Stripes.

    A.... E....

    Julien Trez actually if you listen from 2:03 of this song then go to 2:28 in endors toi by tame impala it's the same riff pretty much. different tone though.

  52. O.... T....

    how many extra songs are there?

    O.... T....

    Just 2
    This and Half the Chance

    O.... T....

    Orhun Tuncel few off the first album worth checking out tho. That's if you haven't already :)

  53. G.... A....

    WTF!?!?! why didnt this make it to the album release, its amazing!?!?!

    G.... A....

    Yeah, there's something on the way the bass sounds on this song and on the way he sings.
    It's still a cool song!

    G.... A....

    It just wouldn't sound right, it's a different vibe. Still amazing, though.

    G.... A....

    German Arredondo I think it's because part of the song sounds like blue orchid by the white stripes and you know the whole thing about royal blood and the stripes

    G.... A....

    Isn't it gonna be in the next album or smth I mean they played hook line & sinker before the release of this year's album

  54. G.... R....

    You god thank you so much
