I Think I Need You 03:14
lyrics
buy track
I'm feeling a little homesick blues And it's something that I cannot explain Without blowing a fuse I'm feeling a little tired and low And it's something that I cannot explain Seems a long time ago Don't tell me it's not real And don't go mocking the way I feel It's so clear and so true But I'm leaving it up to you I wrote it in the stars And to this day I wear your scars It's so clear and so pure I think I need you but I can't be sure I can't be sure I'm leaving on the first flight home 'Cause it's something that I cannot explain From the end of a phone A million reasons and a thousand ways Hundred letters in seven days Minutes and seconds Then a heartbeat away Don't tell me it's not real And don't go mocking the way I feel I've fastened myself to you I'm sticking to you like glue I wrote things in my book When you gave me a second look But I still feel insecure I think I need you but I can't be sure I can't be sure I can't be sure I can't be sure

I Can't Stop 02:19
lyrics

This is new to you And you will make mistakes This is cool In about a thousand ways But there's always someone left Crying in their drink Trying not to think And I can't stop Your fateful decline And I won't feel So guilty this time No If this is news to you Then it has come too late I have been a fool And it's been a long, long wait But there's always someone left Forcing out a smile But that is not your style And I can't stop The ticking of hands And I can't stop The making of plans No And I can't keep My feet on the brake And I have let My feelings escape No

This Is Good Fortune 03:22
lyrics
buy track
You're in heaven Just for seven little days Leave the city What a pity I'm amazed Let's go southwards But not backwards Let's be brave Reach the coastline It's a good time To be saved Why do I see tears running down your face Hey hey This is good fortune I can see what it's like To be joyful Hey hey Look at me standing I'm not losing my balance At all now Had a bad time Was a steep climb But I'm here I was worried So I hurried Persevered Why do I see sadness living in your eyes Do I see lovers saying their goodbyes Do I see tears running down your face I can see what it's like To be joyful I can see what it's like

That Guy 01:20
lyrics

Wait 'til I get you home And we'll dance all night Ah You wanted me But I'm too scared to be That guy Wait 'til we get back home It will be alright Ah You're here with me But I'm too scared to be That guy Wait 'til I get you home And we'll dance all night Ah You wanted me But I'm too scared to be I am too scared to be I am too scared to be That guy

about

There are groups that believe that a song is still the greatest form of musical expression, and they reinforce this by releasing singles, like it was done in the 50’s. Nowadays, though, it’s an act of rebellion, but bands like THE CLIENTELE have successfully converted their collections of small vinyls into a myth in and of themselves, a precious object of desire of collectionists and pop lovers. THE LODGER are the biggest news in pop in recent years. With two incredible albums that already light up our shelves and that have made them a center of attention of both critics and the public, the quartet from Leeds led by Ben Siddall also made a place for themselves in the scene with three incredible singles (obviously impossible to find today), each released on a different independent label. “I Think I Need You” will be the fifth 7” of their career, the first with Elefant (of course, in a precious green color) and a new demonstration of their incredible ability to make beautiful pop melodies that are simultaneously full of happiness and timeless, and that has an attention grabbing trumpet presence. “We realized that we’d never released a ‘slow’ single before, so we decided that it was the perfect time to fix that” and here we have this mid-tempo rectification that is “I Think I Need You” and its fantastic and crystalline guitar arrangements. And for those who enjoy LODGER’s love of THE SMITHS, “I Can’t Stop” is one of those songs that you will beg on your knees for the DJ to play to brighten a Saturday night. “This Is Good Fortune” has one of those choruses that you need to remember every morning before getting on the bus that takes you to your daily routine, just to have a bit of sunshine every day, while “That Guy” is, as they themselves admit, the shortest song they’ve ever written, an explosive crescendo that barely takes a minute to blast. At Elefant we are deeply proud to collaborate in increasing the size of that object of desire we mentioned before, and that some of LODGER’s incredible compositions are now part of our catalog.
