Paulo Nutini -Last request
Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it's just you and me.
Don't sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus:]
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
Oh, I've found, that I'm bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realise all about your lies
But I'm no wiser than the fool I was before.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus]
Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?
[chorus x2]
Yeah, lay down beside me.
One last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
What the artist is trying to say is that he's realized that he is bound to be alone for the rest of his life but he is asking to be with the person he loves for one last time to hold her. I particularly enjoyed this song because i feel like it gave me an idea on what modern day blues really are. The message of the song doesn't have much to do with any of the legendary blues songs but the sound of it and the tempo pair a resemblance to them.
