"Gimme Sympathy" Lyrics :::
[Verse 1]
Get hot
Get too close to the flame
Wild, open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up
Got no time to take a picture
I'll remember someday
All the chances we took
[Pre-Chorus]
We're so close
To something better left unknown
We're so close
To something better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones
[Chorus]
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"
[Verse 2]
Don't go
Stay with the all-unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took
[Pre-Chorus]
We're so close
To something better left unknown
We're so close
To something better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones
[Chorus]
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"
[Outro]
Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something
Like "Here Comes the Sun"

That's how it is. This version is fantastic
I'm of the same generation as Emily and the rest of the band. I've experienced 11 years of war and civil conflict, married, had two beautiful kids, and moved to a peaceful farm in Ontario, Canada. There are times when it feels I've lived a thousand lifetimes and yet when I hear Metric play music, I feel like a five-year-old giggling in my dreams.

Ok but emily 😍 she's a gem.
Ugh, why did they take this off spotify... so good.
Metric is under the "music that changed my life" category
Here in 2022. Just remembered this song out of the blue. Used to watch this vid as a young man feeling the strength of the unknown and now still feel it in the richness of a known way. Self pity gone its more about saying hey recognize me in love like I know we are all made of love
Their acoustic stuff hits me right in a place that i cant describe.
Metric Needs An Acoustic Album. I love this song but i love the acoustic version even more
This version touches me so deeply. I can't explain it. Saw Emily with Metric live in Manchester last week and it was beyond amazing. This track acoustically just blows me away - it's one of my favourite songs of all time already.
"hey man this isn't broken social scene" lol
Here in October of 2019. Toast to you mate, love your taste in music.

Fuckin' A.
It was by far one of my favourite moments of the weekend. When the crowd was singing along with her.. it sounded perfect. I could of listen to that song for hours
Beatles were insanely popular for a while and their music will stand throughout time, but they ended up resenting each other and broke up. Rolling stones weren't nearly as popular, but still tour with a huge fan base, and they're still friends who tour together...and most of them are still alive
2019 still here

amen! these and that 2005 concert in France are still like every-other-day in the rotation. that concert especially is great for car jams on the way to work in the early morning.
Emilty Haines has such an awesome voice, Even more so in acoustic settings I think. These types of songs really let her show how great her voice really is.
Nunca voy a olvidar la última vez que estuvieron en la ciudad de México, se despidieron con ésta canción y cuando mirabas a Emily y ella parecía devolverte la mirada por un segundo se sentía como si la abrazaras por un hermoso y largo tiempo, definitivamente una de las mejores noches de mi vida

Espero poder vivir esa experiencia, gracias por compartirla. Aqui, 4 años en el futuro
This is my favourite song.
I didn't even know this existed. I really like their acoustic stuff!
I can feel it in my bones....
I normally don't like the acoustic versions of songs, but this is one of the few that is just as good or possibly better than the "original" version of the song.
they captured something with this song especially this version of it. hard to put my finger on it. but i know it when i feel it. it’s like nostalgia and an epic calming greatness put together. love it.
I can feel it in my bones. :-)
There is no comment I could leave that would do this song justice.
Emily Haines has that warm nice vibe a grandmother has.
she has the most beautiful voice of any indie rock lead
I can't even, too good.
Gimme Sympathy was the VERY first song I heard from "Fantasies" and it remains one of my favourites. Amazing job on the record!
This is hands down among my top three favourite songs EVER.
This is the most incredible song I've ever heard! I love the original version, but this one is just perfect 💚💚

Metric and some of the best art, performances, and music I have ever heard don't make me smile, laugh or cry, but simply make me shiver in a kind of haunting captivation. I love it. Can't wait to see them live in September.
Oh Gawd ... this was 13 years ago ... im getten old
this song changes my life
oh god, what for a wonderful version
still a beautiful banger in 2017
I agree with both of ya'll I feel so at home when I see them live
This is raw and beautiful and full of emotion yet subtle. Love the lyrics.

amazing song
I'm in love too! Best version ever! I'm working on it on guitar.
@SingMeASmile Same.it's just so mellowy and it just soothes me
amazing version
Acoustic or not the song is amazing. She got a so good voice...just wow :)
It's nice hearing the song raw and unmixed. This is how it sounded when it was written and by far the best way to enjoy it.
Hearing this again reminds me of their live performance at the Ryman in Nashville, Half Moon Run opened for them and it was such a fun night
even better live. she has the greatest stage presence.
Wow, this is where you realize what a lovely song this is on all levels.
beautiful
I can feel it in my bones ....seriously! that this is music made so perfectly it touches the soul....each and everytime u hear it!
her voice is heavenly ....angelic....i cant help but just listen to this again and again.......till i play again

They played the acoustic version last night at the end of the concert I went to. It was so amazing!!!! I loved it so much!
Beautiful inside n out, -3 metric!
Excellent.
OMG soooo sick!
The acoustic version is amazing, I love you Emily!!!
great lyrics
this is real ART!
Perfection.
the acoustic version is very elegant, her voice is beautiful.
They played this acoustically in Toronto last night. Had chills the entire time.
Beautiful!
MAGIC!
this song makes me cry
