I was done in on the weekend The weekend lasted twenty years The world's best bulimic bartend Tender, violent and queer
Forgive me father, I have sinned I've drained my body full of pins I've danced 'til dawn with splintered shins Full of pins, full of pins
Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes
They laugh at me when I run I waste away for fun I am my father's son His shadow weighs a tonne
Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes
They laugh at me when I run I waste away for fun I am my father's son His shadow weighs a tonne
Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes
Forgive me father, I have sinned I've drained my body full of pins I've danced til dawn with splintered shins Full of pins, full of pins
Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes Goes and it goes and it goes Go go go go go go!
It's coming It's coming It's coming It's coming It's coming It's coming It's coming It's coming
I don't want to be Your man Your man I don't want to be Your man Your man
I'm like Stone Cold Steve Austin I put homophobes in coffins I'm like Fred Astaire I dance like I don't care I'm like Ted DiBiase I win no matter what it costs me I'm like Evel Knievel I break bones for my people I'm on my best behavior Like Jesus Christ our savior I'm like Reggie Kray
Hot take, but I feel like this is one of those bands whose live performance transcends anything they put to video.
I saw Billy Strings live, and it was almost a religious experience. The energy in that room was impossible to capture on film.
I imagine seeing Idles is a similar situation.
Agree for sure. If you haven't seen it already, I shared a live idles set from KEXP in elsewhere in the comments on this thread that's pretty solid.
IDLES always opens with this song and the "split the crowd in half". It's glorious.

You would be correct! I can’t recommend seeing Idles live enough. The sound envelopes you and it’s an experience of unity from start to finish.
