Flavors Lyrics


There was a red light coughin' up a room of blood
And there were forecast, seven inches of snow
And there were two tunes playing in my head at once
Arguing guitar and drumsThere was a lover standing by her bed
With a cigarette burning in her hand
And there were moonbeams playing on her porcelain flesh
A capi ero alouscaCompany cars and shoes were never meant to play the blues
You were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
Even within my youth I denied, I wanted to
You were the only fool I ever wanted to make love toThere was a bed made of paraplegic legs
And there were weak spots, only she could detect
And as I rolled over to block the last ray of sun
In religious invigorationThere was a blue light, the other side of the door
And there were four cats stretching out their claws
And there were two lovers separated by the telephoneCompany cars and shoes were never meant to play the blues
You were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
Even within my youth I denied, I wanted to
'Cause you were the only fool I ever wanted to make love toYour flavors are getting to me

Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors are getting to meYour flavors
Your flavors
Your flavors
Your flavors

There are two bands under the same name:
1) A British indie rock band
2) An American emo band active in the early 90's

1) Gomez are an English indie rock band. Their first album, Bring It On, won the Mercury Music Prize in 1998. The genesis of Gomez was the meeting of four friends from Southport. Guitarist and vocalist Ian Ball and drummer Olly Peacock had previously played together in a local heavy metal band called Severed. They joined with guitarist / vocalist / keyboardist Tom Gray and bassist Paul Blackburn. Ian Ball met vocalist / guitarist Ben Ottewell (from Matlock Bath in Derbyshire) at Sheffield University, where they were both studying.

The band played their first gig together in late 1996 in Leeds without a formal name. The band left a sign out for a friend of theirs whose surname was Gomez to indicate that it was the site of their first gig. People saw the sign and assumed that the band's name was Gomez - the name stuck.

The band started recording four-track demos in a garage in Southport soon after. A bidding war erupted when they sent the demos to recording labels, with the band finally signing with Virgin Records' subsidiary, Hut, in 1997.

Gomez's career trajectory has led to the band's name taking on a new meaning. Also known as "Mercury Poisoning", To "do a Gomez" now means to release a debut album so successful and to such unanimous praise that expectations are raised to the point where it is impossible to follow it. This is in reference to the fact that whilst Bring It On is still regarded as one of the best British albums of the late nineties, its follow-ups have met a mixed critical reception and disappointing sales. Despite this their second album was quite popular and allowed them to go on a world tour. They sold out a number of venues though never became a stadium band like Oasis. They still produce music and have a loyal following amongst fans of the best of late 90's rock.
