With their Small Sound EP hitting the shelves next November 5th via Communion, Colorado-based band Tennis have just unveiled its first single, ‘Mean Streets’. The cute, easy-listening track has a welcoming beat that is joined by Alaina Moore’s beautiful vocals and brought to life by Richard Swift (The Shins, Foxygen, Damien Jurado). They’ll be touring the United States in November to promote the new release.
Tennis – Mean Streets
Tennis – Mean Streets Lyrics:
Summer at being the cat’s skin, baby
Singing just for the thrill
Everyone knows about you, don’t they?
You’re doing it for the thrill
Whatever’s left, you find
You got to give it what you got now
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT WHAT YOU GOT
Baby, it’s true, we leave nothing for you
You got to give it what you got now
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT WHAT YOU GOT
Our love, is nothing wrong with feeling
Our love, you’ll never be the same
Do you know they would love you, baby
The more will they your gun
Deep and then ??
Could make a hit out of any song
Whatever’s left, you find
You got to give it what you got now
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT WHAT YOU GOT
Stay, I’m your all
Or leave it alone
You got to give it what you got now
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT WHAT YOU GOT
Our love, is nothing wrong with feeling
Our love, you’ll never be the same
Born and raised in these MEAN STREETS
That’s where she learned how to keep the beat
Some say that girl’s got something
I heard her name half a million times
Born and raised in these mean streets
That’s where she learned how to keep the beat
Some say that girl’s got something
I heard her name half a million times
Born and raised in these MEAN STREETS
That’s where she learned how to keep the beat
Some say that girl’s got something
I heard her name half a million times
Born and raised in these mean streets
That’s where she learned how to keep the beat
Some say that girl’s got something
I hear her name half a million times.
