Judas Lyrics

[Verse]
Feelings
Only feelings
Just let them, let them go
Feelings
Only feelings
Just worthless, so I let them go
New York, I was Judas
She said 'a latte, double shot for Judas'

Cry for the things that happen, people need to know
And for a dream to happen
You gotta let it go, gotta let it go
Gotta let it go, gotta let it go aha
Gotta let it go
You let it go
You let it go
But there must be
Some answer
I keep seeking, cause I gotta know
We are numbered, and we are labelled
Do we ever, break our home
I knew it, before you said it
There's no need for, need to wait
Need to wait
You let it go
I'm running
In the sky
Slipping round
Hold me up high
I I I, high high high
High, high, high
Woohoo
Still holding on, you know the dreams have just begun
The dream's just begun
The dream's just begun
I know you're still holding on
Because the dream has just begun

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

This was born out of a full band jam on the band’s very first day of recording. Like a number of songs on the album, the first take was the one that was used. Bass player Simon Jones explained in an interview with BBC DJ Steve Lamacq: “I leave my mistakes on the record. I mean, nobody else can probably hear them but I know where all my mistakes are and it’s like, I didn’t want to touch it. That is a unique take. I don’t want to go back in and touch up that bit there, touch up that. Obviously if there’s a big blooper then you will but I am quite strict with myself in the sense that yeah, if there’s a bit of a mistake, that that’s human, that’s character, you know what I mean? (laughter) That takes confidence to do that because a lot of people would be, ‘Oh, I can’t do that,’ but to me it’s like, you know, that’s what a band should sound like. People have got so wrapped up in production and stuff that I guess they’re scared to show their flaws and that but I don’t think we ever have been, you know.”
