The Strokes : Room On Fire
The band return in a blaze of glory...
Remember life before The Strokes [/url]? Guitar music sounded like something you’d rather convalesce to than go out and rock to. Its stars looked like binmen and talked like librarians. In fact, the whole foggy, soggy mess looked like it was about to be blasted into obsolescence by the hip hop, nu-metal and R&B which had comprehensively outgunned it in the style, outrage and tune stakes....

Album Review: The Strokes - Angles (Rough Trade)
Burdened with so much expectation, it’s hardly surprising that the New Yorkers’ return isn’t the masterpiece we’d hoped for – but wait, it’s still one damn fine album

The Strokes - Room on Fire Lyrics
The Strokes - 12.51 Lyrics
Talk to me now, I'm older
Your friend told you 'cause I told her
Friday nights have been lonely
Change your plans and then phone me
The Strokes - The End Has No End Lyrics
One by one, ticking time bombs won
It's not the secrets of the government
That's keeping you dumb
Oh, it's the other way around
The Strokes - The Way It Is Lyrics
She was still sleeping, the problem will stay
One more day
Said she's not sorry the wind blows her way
Accidents happen, there's one planned today
The Strokes - Under Control Lyrics
I don't want to waste your time
I don't want to waste your time
I just want to say
I've got to say
The Strokes - Meet Me In The Bathroom Lyrics
When they say promises
They mean promises
They'd say, "That's okay
Long as we can celebrate"
The Strokes - Between Love & Hate Lyrics
Watched her as she wiped her eyes
You don't make me sorry
Now I know that you never listened, listen
The Strokes - You Talk Way Too Much Lyrics
Now we're out of time
I said it's my fault
It's my fault
The Strokes - Automatic Stop Lyrics
So many fish there in the sea
I wanted you, you wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
I was a train moving too fast
The Strokes - Reptilia Lyrics
He seemed impressed by the way you came in
Tell us the story, I know you're not boring
I was afraid that you would not insist
You sound so sleepy, just take this, now leave me
The Strokes - What Ever Happened? Lyrics
I wanna be forgotten and
And I don't wanna be reminded
You say, "Please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
The Strokes - I Can't Win Lyrics
That was you up on the mountain
All alone and all surrounded
Walking on the ground you're breaking
Laughing at the life you're wasting
