Metric – Gimme Sympathy (Acoustic)

I’ve got a disgustingly good tune today for everyone to wind their weekend down with.  Gimme Sympathy can be found on MetricMetric reviews’s brand-new album Fantasies, officially released on April 7th, 2009.  The acoustic version of Gimme Sympathy is anotherAnother Year reviews track that was only included as a bonus-track when pre-ordering Fantasies.  Currently based out of Brooklyn, LA, Montreal, and Toronto, the band has released 4 full-length albums to date.  Speaking of Toronto (this is a horrible segue I know), momma-Chris is currently out in Toronto visiting Julie and getting her shop on.  Mom, If you happen to read this on that fancy Google Reader I showed you, Happy Mother’s Day.  

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

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
Gimme sympathy
After all 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

Don’t go
Stay with the all unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took

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
Gimme sympathy
After all 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
