"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"

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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
