“Bubbles” is the fifth single taken from Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro’s fifth studio album, Only Revolutions. Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures provides additional lead guitar in the song. Despite being one of the lower charting songs from the album (reaching #34 on the UK singles chart), it has spent more weeks in the top 100 than any other Biffy Clyro song.
Biffy Clyro – Bubbles
Biffy Clyro – Bubbles Lyrics:
Well how’s your view of things today?
Got up young to fade away.
The sinners sin but aren’t aware.
Our fables take us everywhere.
I can’t keep up with you.
I can’t keep up.
I can’t compete with history.
We’ll film it live but dub our tale.
The mystery must stay inside.
Look at our homes, look at our lives.
In control of the morning.
In control of the sea.
You are creating all the bubbles at night.
I’m chasing round and trying to pop them all the time.
We don’t need to trust a single word they say.
You are creating all the bubbles at play.
There’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl.
She’s down by the river.
In her own creepy world there’s a girl, there’s a girl.
She’s down by the river.
It’s time to consider.
That baby is a sinner.
She’ll wash away your sins (Wash away your sins).
She’ll wash away your sins (Wash away your sins).
She’ll wash away your sins and go home.
I only once upset my kin.
Accused him of a moral slip.
Well he came back and claimed the change.
I know his life’s the same again.
I can’t ask him again.
I should let it go.
You are creating all the bubbles at night.
I’m chasing round trying to pop them all the time.
We don’t need to trust a single word they say.
You are creating all the bubbles at play.
There’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl.
She’s down by the river.
In her own creepy world there’s a girl, there’s a girl.
She’s down by the river.
It’s time to consider.
That baby is a sinner.
There’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl.
(Wash away your sins, wash away your sins).
She’s down by the river.
