It Was a Sin Lyrics

I believe it was a sin
Oh to do you in the way I did
I stole the gold and drank the gin
Then I ran off with your kin
If I can you know I will and if the stars align
I still get loaded on the things that I can't change
And I'm out here tonight so if you want to start a fight
We'll get loaded on the things that I can't changeI believe it was a sin do you in the way I did you in
I couldn't stop it coming from afar
I lost the keys to the getaway car
And every now and then I'm in this place
It's hell living when I need your face
Don't hide don't hide don't hide from me
I believe it was a sin
Oh to do you in the way I did
I took out more than I put in
I got fat while you stayed thin
But I came here tonight if you want to start a fight

We can get loaded on the things that I can't change
Yeah I'm out here all night so if you want to start a fight
We can get loaded on the things that I can't changeI believe it was a sin
To do you in the way I did you in
I couldn't stop it coming from afar
And lost the keys to the getaway car
Every now and then I'm in this place
It's hell living when I need your face
Don't hide don't hide don't hide from me
Don't hide don't hide don't hide don't hide from me
Don't hide don't hide don't hide don't hide from me
Don't hide don't hide don't hide don't hide from me
Don't hide don't hide don't hide from meI believe it was a sin
To do you in the way I did you in
I couldn't stop it coming from afar
And lost the keys to the getaway car
Every now and then I'm in this place
It's hell living when I need your face
Don't hide don't hide don't hide from me
Don't hide don't hide your face
Don't hide
Don't hide
Don't hide(Shaw/Gekas/Campanelli/Feinberg/Girardot/Ingarham/Williams)She said she wanna tell me everything all night long
She said she wanna get her name into a song
So we go dancing in the daylight and everything is good right now
I can hold my pain in and we can have our love for a whileBut you better stop and save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You better save yourselfShe said she wanna get up into my biz for a day
And I could have her I could keep her but I can't make it rain
So I'm listening to the rain drum listening to the silent sound, yeah
While I'm hearing everybody else screaming out loudBoy you better stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You could have anyone else
Stop, save yourself
You better save yourself
You better save yourselfYeah I'm sleeping with a snake tonight
And nowadays what's wrong feels right
I was a bastard of the worse kind
I looked you in the eyes still told you a lie
Drinking cheap champagne, no I can't complain
Pushed into the lights these are the pressures of fame
And it's still all good there's only one thing wrong
You know what it is and I told you
Well I'm a monsterI'm turning into a monster
And I don't want to be a monster anymore, no
I've got to leave you alone
But I can't leave you alone

The Revivalists

Exploring Brilliantivity:
What is brilliantivity? Is it…
A) Exercising brilliance in creativity?
B) Finding creative ways to be brilliant?
C) A word that I just made up?
D) All of the above.
E) The Revivalists.
Since forming in 2007, The Revivalists have earned their standing among the best young bands in New Orleans. The group’s combination of danceable rock and soulful songwriting (and brilliantivity) comes to life through a meticulously crafted and ever-evolving live performance. The band has been instrumental in the growth of New Orleans’ burgeoning indie rock scene, and they have achieved success and notoriety in the city’s competitive musical landscape.
The Revivalists have proven themselves as a live act. In a short time they have managed to advance from low-profile local gigs to extensive touring, developing a loyal fan base at home and across the Gulf Coast Region and gaining footholds nationally. Abroad, they have commanded such venues as The Kennedy Center (Washington, DC), Sullivan Hall (New York City), Toad’s Place (New Haven, CT), and Smith’s Olde Bar (Atlanta, GA). At home, The Revivalists are regulars at The Howlin’ Wolf, The Republic, and the legendary Tipitina’s. They have shared stages with such notable acts as Perpetual Groove, Marco Benevento, Rebirth Brass Band, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, The Lee Boys and Snarky Puppy. Additionally, they have established themselves as an engaging festival act, winning over audiences at French Quarter Fest, Crawfest and Foburg Festival in New Orleans, Hamstock Barbecue and Music Festival in Ridgeland, MS, and The Duke Ellington Jazz Festival in Washington, DC. Most recently, The Revivalists played the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. There, they caught the attention of Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke, who wrote about their performance on his blog on rollingstone.com.
The Revivalists have also grown as studio musicians. Their first release was listed as an editor’s pick in both the Jam and American Traditional Rock categories on CDBaby.com, despite being a humble five-song EP. Their second release, Vital Signs, is both the band’s first full-length album and a significant step forward in terms of production and scale. The young band was privileged to record under the guidance of Grammy Award-winning producer Chris Finney, whose resumé ranges from Dr. John to R.E.M. Vital Signs is the result of this collaboration. Soon after its release, Vital Signs became the top-selling album on CDBaby in the American Traditional Rock category, and was quickly selected to be featured in their newsletter. Experience The Revivalists. Understand brilliantivity. And prepare yourself, for your very life will soon have meaning. Listen to the music of The Revivalists and all of your wildest fantasies will become reality.
