Wild Thing Lyrics


Time can make more rubble out of dreams than anything
In a quiet neighborhood where she's living without wings
There's eyes behind the curtains and there's ears below the floor
Cracks inside the ceiling and there's shadows at the door
The boredom stirs a rage inside her soul
A rage that reaches out and takes controlBaby, she's a wild thing
Baby, she's a wild thing
Baby, she's a wild thing
Baby, she's a wild thingNine days out alone, sleep in the dirt
She walks back into town with blood stains on her shirt
Everyone has questions but no one wants to know
How far the anger in someone can really make them go
Her tangled hair and mud stains on her knees
Bruised ribs and rips on the side of her jeansBaby, she's a wild thing
Baby, she's a wild thing
Baby, she's a wild thing
Baby, she's a wild thingWell, I used to be a citizen in this town
'Til my teeth turned gray and my hair fell out

All the civil decent people, they don't want to know
But a girl looking for trouble said she'd give me a goWhile everybody's sleeping in the town this night
From the crooked clock tower to the borderline
And night star static in the winter breeze
She's lying in the moonlight with her hands between my kneesShe says it's all right, well, it's all right by me
She says it's all right, well, it's all right by me
She says it's all right, well, it's all right by meBaby, she's a wild thing
Baby, she's a wild thing
Baby, she's a wild thing
Baby, she's a wild thing

Noah and the Whale were an English alternative/folk group formed in Twickenham, London in 2006. Their final line-up consisted of Charlie Fink (vocals, guitar), Tom Hobden (fiddle, keyboards), Matt "Urby Whale" Owens (bass), Fred Abbott (keyboards, guitar) and Matthew Petulla (drums). Former members of the band include Doug Fink (drums), Laura Marling (vocals, guitar) and Jack Hamson (drums). According to Songfacts, the band's name is a combination of the title of one of their favorite films, The Squid and the Whale and Noah Baumbach, who directed the movie.

They released their debut album Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down - which contains the UK Top 10 hit 5 Years Time - in August of 2008.

A year later, following the end of a relationship between Charlie Fink and Laura Marling, the band released The First Days Of Spring, a concept album written about Laura. It came with a film to accompany the album, written and directed by Charlie.

The band's third album Last Night on Earth was released in March 2011. This album produced a hit single with L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N., which sold over 242,000 copies in the UK that year.

In 2013 their fourth album, Heart of Nowhere, was released. This release was also accompanied by a short film of the same name.

The band announced their split on 1 April 2015, stating that the band members would pursue solo musical projects. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
