The Electric Co. (Live) Lyrics

[Intro]
Somebody cry, somebody cry
Somebody cry
Well, somebody try, somebody try
Somebody try something quick
Don't you look back, don't you look back
Don't you look back
Well, somebody cry, somebody cry
Somebody cry
Well, I can't say why or what for
What for
What for
Break it up

[Verse 1]
Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able to
Toy, broken toy
Shout, shout
You're inside out

[Chorus]
If you don't know
Electric Co. 
If you don't know
Electric Co. (Alright)
[Verse 2]
Red, running red
You'll play for real
Talk and feel
Holding your head
You won't shout
You're spoon fed

[Chorus]
If you don't know
Electric Co. 
If you don't know
Electric Co. 
Break it up

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
If you don't know
Electric Co. 
If you don't know
Electric Co. 
If you don't know
Electric Co. 
If you don't know
Electric Co. 

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 [?]
