The Enemy Lyrics


I come in late with no surprise
You're standing at the door with those angry eyes
You stayed up late just to start this fight
But my ears are getting tired, think I'll call this a night
You keep on talking, but I'm not listening
I'll be the first to say I'm sorry, just to put this to end [x2]
I know that it's strange that straight to this very day
I'll be the only one to say that I'm sorry without you
You know it isn't real, don't make it a big deal
I'll be the only one to sing that I'm sorry without you
(Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry without you)
(Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry without you)
You're always chiming in with your this and that
Your crying at my door like a pussy cat
I thought that it was over and that was that
But you insist to persist me, irrational enemy
You keep on talking, but I'm not listening

I'll be the first to say I'm sorry, just to put this to end [x2]
I know that it's strange that straight to this very day
I'll be the only one to say that I'm sorry without you
You know it isn't real, don't make it a big deal
I'll be the only one to sing that I'm sorry without you
Appreciate, validate, sleeping with the enemy
Honest, honest, honest, this is the way we play [x2]
Appreciate, validate, sleeping with the enemy [x2]
I know that it's strange that straight to this very day
I'll be the only one to say that I'm sorry without you
You know it isn't real, don't make it a big deal
I'll be the only one to sing that I'm sorry without you [x2]
Appreciate, validate, sleeping with the enemy
Honest, honest, honest, this is the way we play [x2]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Raveonettes are a rock and roll duo formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2001. Comprising Sune Rose Wagner (guitar, instruments, vocals) and Sharin Foo (guitar and vocals), their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmony inspired by The Everly Brothers, coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise.

The name, The Raveonettes, is a direct reference to The Ronettes, and Buddy Holly's song Rave On!.

Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 50s and 60s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats and often dark lyrical content, similar to another of the band's influences, The Velvet Underground. Altogether, they sound very much like a slightly more melodic version of The Jesus and Mary Chain.

On April 4th, 2011, they released "Raven in the Grave", a nine-track studio album with Vice Records. It's their 5th studio album.

From their site bio:
“I think we have finally hit on something quite important and different for this album,” explains Sune. “This is the first Raveonettes album we've done which doesn't feature the signature Raveonettes surf drumbeat. None of the tunes have any real sunshine to them. It’s all very un-Rave.”

“It has a mood of ethereal defiance” Sharin adds. “It’s dark but not bleak, like the single minded determination caused by crisis that is not quite hope but just as powerful. It’s the perfect winter soundtrack just in time for spring”.
