White Lies - Mother Tongue Lyrics

Reminds me abit of alphaville lead singer m gold!!! Class!!!

How the hell wasn't this a single? The chorus is massive.

Прекрасно))) Я очень рад что ещё кто-то делает хорошую музыку!

The most underrated song on earth.

I love people who show you good music!! Thank you Isaiah from Kay @ Metro

Muito bom o som

The city stays hight all night
Lit up and shivering like a pinball table of fireflies
An echo of home, on the edge of life
Shot through the veins of an angel
I'm a devil in exile

But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place you call a home
Or having trouble placing
Who's calling on the phone?
Who's calling on the phone?

Dip the nose in the car to the sugar lines
Out to the desert under cinnamon hills and moonshine
He said: "what can I do to make you mine?"
Kiss out the twang from my lips on the way to big-time

But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done
And if you can't remember the place you call a home
Or having trouble placing
Who's calling on the phone?
Who's calling on the phone?

Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue

But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place you call a home
Or having trouble placing
Who's calling on the phone?
But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place you call a home
Or having trouble placing
Who's calling on the phone?

I LOVE that

Lyrics:

The city stays high, all night 
Lit up and shivering
Like a pinball table of fireflies
An echo of home, on the edge of life 
Shot through the veins of an angel 
I'm a devil in exile

[Chorus:]
But if you have forgotten 
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother 
Would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place
You call a home, or having trouble placing 
Who's calling on the phone...

Who's calling on the phone... 

Dip the nose of the car to the sugar lines
Out to the desert 
Under cinnamon hills and moonshine
He said 'what can I do to make you mine?'
Kiss out the twang from my lips 
On the way to big-time

[Chorus:]
But if you have forgotten 
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother 
Would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place
You call a home, or having trouble placing 
Who's calling on the phone...

Who's calling on the phone... 

Forgot your mother tongue [x4]

[Chorus: x2]
But if you have forgotten 
Your precious mother tongue
What do you think your mother 
Would say of what you've done?
And if you can't remember the place 
You call a home, or having trouble placing 
Who's calling on the phone...

The best Music Always comes from England!!!

A huevo putos lo mejor de el rock siempre viene de Inglaterra!!!

This album is so underrated.  

son muy lindas todas las canciones

just impressed - had a live experience in vienna, Gasometer - speechless

This song is too good. 

this song is only for cool people!

best of the album

Me neither. They're getting better and better... :)

this album is just too good...

fabulously unabashingly 80s - excellent!

i didnt know there is a new album by white lies until today. what a pleasent surprise! and this is my favourite song! :-)

I'm with you

hermosa..

Of all the songs from white lies they all are good to me never had 1 song that was bad :)

when the song starts sounds like a smiths or cure song , has an 80,s style feel to me, cant complain the 1980,s were an awesome decade for english pop and alternative.

Does anybody know what is this lyric about? Oh my poor english can't translate the main idea of the song, although I feel the music to be part of me... strange feeling:-).

Is it just me or do the last few seconds of this song remind anyone else of Peace and Quiet from their last album?

this album is amazing as all of there others are but they are very highly underrated. should be on the same level in regard to the other great band Muse

I fucking love this band!

I personally think this is their best album. White Lies forever.

magnificent collection of sounds!!!

loving this tune

The more I listen to this one, the more it becomes my fav. Easily the best chorus on the album!

This may be my favorite!

awesome song

endlich das neue alb; jetzt schon mein favorit :)
