Staves, The - Pay Us No Mind Lyrics






Easy come, easy go
Tell me things I want to know
Drink until your lips are black
You've given things you'll never get back
Oh you silly thing

Cold sheets of linen
Doomed from the beginning
Do what you will
Leave the worry to the women
That's our game to play

But oh, we will say us anything
Pay us no mind

You were right, and I've been wrong
To tarry here for far too long
Pick me up, wish me luck
Fare thee well
I don't give a fuck anymore

But oh, you could say anything
And I wouldn't mind

Think of me sweet Antony
In private disarray
I never needed sympathy
I only want to say

That I'm not afraid to shout, I'm not afraid to tell
And were ready now to give them all hell
And we always said it's every man for himself

But oh, we will say anything
Pay us no mind

    Easy come, easy go
    Tell me things I want to know
    Drink until your lips are black
    You’ve given things you’ll never get back
    Oh you silly thing

    Cold sheets of linen
    Doomed from the beginning
    Do what you will
    Leave the worry to the women;
    That’s our game to play

    But, oh, we will say anything -
    Pay us no mind

    You were right and I was wrong
    To tarry here for far too long
    Pick me up, wish me luck
    Fare thee well, I don’t give a fuck anymore

    But, oh, you could say anything
    And I wouldn’t mind

    Think of me, sweet Anthony, in private disarray
    I never needed sympathy, I only want to say
    That I’m not afraid to shout, I’m not afraid to tell
    And we’re ready now to give them all hell
    And you always said it’s every man for himself

  5. B.... C....

    So very beautiful ❤❤❤

  6. b.... ....

    Excellent and heartfelt.

  7. p.... b....

    Feature her sultry voice more often!

  8. M.... G....

    Emily rules <3 <3 <3 ... XXX Manzi

  9. T.... ....

    This is different from most of their other songs.  But still the same silky harmonies and spotless execution.

  10. A.... L....

    I love hearing Emily.

  11. d.... ....

    think of me, sweet EMILY!

  12. M.... G....

    Nothing compares to these ladies ... Overwehelming!

  13. A.... ....

    oh Emily..

  14. D.... R....

    "I don't give a fuck anymore". Best line! Well said, Emily.
    Cheers from Brazil

  15. J.... S....

    Emily should sing more often! <3

    J.... S....

    Yes she should!

  16. d.... ....

    This song perfectly captures Emily's soulful vocal range...which often times goes unnoticed

  17. O.... ....

    This sounds a bit like laura marling :D 

    O.... ....

    +OlwenLovegood If Laura Marling and The Staves made a song together, I can die happy.

  18. I.... ....

    That part from 2:30 to 3:25 is so ridiculously beautiful...

  19. O.... ....

    Could someone recomend me music similar to this song?
    I would highly appreciate it :D

    O.... ....

    Wailing Jennys, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals (can be a bit heavier, but some songs are very similar)

    O.... ....

    Thank you very much :D 
    Right now I'm listening to 'Bird song' by Wailing Jennys and it's beautiful!

    O.... ....

    Look up "Sofar" (Songs from a room), they have done many songs there, and ALL of the artists are cool. Artists like these ladies play live acoustic all over the world, literally in a room somewhere, most often in someone's home. It's simply incredible.

    O.... ....

    Check out firstaidkit its a great band ( i discovered staves through them )

  20. D.... ....

    I want to go to a concert like this so much right now its not even funny.  I want this when it's cold and windy and gray in the city streets and to walk inside to a little brick building to warm yellow and coziness and strumming guitars.

    D.... ....

    Dominique they're from England, but live in Wisconsin most of the time.
    They are very approachable and very funny at times.
    Please go to their website and look for their concert tours.
    It makes for an absolutely unforgettable day.

  21. a.... ....

    So. good.

  22. g.... k....

    You guys make me happy when I hear you, thank you

  23. a.... ....

    Crushing so hard on Emily Staveley-Taylor ♥♥♥☺☺☺

  24. R.... W....

    Such a gorgeous song :) 

  25. J.... E....

    Emily your voice is so so husky !! It doesn't get better than this !

  26. G.... A....

    Camilla tho.....<3

  27. S.... P....

    dam there awesome . gj on getting there first

  28. M.... ....

    her voice, oh jesus so heavenly

  29. J.... D....

    She has such a blues lovely voice!. I love you girls... your music it's just awesome!

  30. C.... N....

    Maybe I can get a ticket for tonight at de Spiegeltent @ Noorderzon Festival Holland. It's sold out but maybe I can sneak in...I hope so ! I love your music

  31. R.... M....

    this is the greatest passive-aggressive feminist ballad of all time

  32. M.... F....

    so glad i bought their album <3

  33. a.... ....

    They are just epic.

  34. d.... ....

    you can really tell they've put time and effort in.....AMAZING

  35. d.... ....

    THEY HARMONISE TOGETHER SO WELL

  36. C.... W....

    One voice like this is delicious. A trio of voices like these, combined with some insightful and arresting songwriting talent, makes these ladies an instant win for me. (If you like these ladies' voices, your ears will definitely love KT Tunstall, so check out her albums.)

    Also, I prefer this version over the EP / album version. The album's fantastic but seeing them performing stripped down acoustic versions adds something almost undefinably wonderful to the performance. Hitting repeat now!

  37. N.... S....

    Unbelievable sound. Such talented girls!! Beautiful

  38. C.... W....

    Beauty and Talent!

  39. A.... H....

    So nice to hear Emily singing for once :) They all have such beautiful voices, it's crazy.

  40. F.... A....

    I keep trying to pick the one I like the most out of the three, but I just fucking can't

  41. C.... N....

    And look here.....another one hooked now ! OMFG ...I tink this will be THE youtube runner up ...wanna bet?

  42. t.... ....

    I haven't found a song from them that I don't love instantly! They are just amazing

  43. H.... D....

    i'm going to go ahead and comment on this masterpiece now, so that way when there are millions of views I can say that I was one of the first.

  44. m.... ....

    Oh noes, they swear once in one song. How do you folk get through life?

  45. R.... G....

    What a disappointment! They can make such beautiful singing, but this song is ruined, and the girls have dropped several notches in my estimation of their character - and it was absolutely unnecessary.

  46. A.... C....

    Nice song. Did you really have to say "fuck"? You're better than that, even though you "will say anything".

  47. c.... ....

    love it
