    That guitar just gets me every time. These guys are definitely on my bucket list for bands to see live! Maybe I'll get to see them with Deftones and Incubus?

      I'm pretty sure there isn't actually guitar. It's only two guys, a bass and a drummer. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. Royal Blood from the UK are the same.

    Frankie was a heart breaker
    I didn't know it at the start
    She was only 16
    But she went and broke my heart
    And she pulled up in her dad's car wearing white
    She said she knew a place where we could hide
    She didn't have a license and she told me I could drive
    So I drove all night
    Why don't you leave me, she asked that night
    I said, I see, I didn't know the kid is mine
    I'll never leave you, it isn't right
    Let's stay together until the end of time
    Oh now the white is red
    Can't get it outta my head
    Oh now the white is red
    I heard that there's a place where we can go
    Across the state there's no one that we know
    Or maybe rent a place where we can stay
    Where what we have will go along the way
    Then Frankie turned to me, she looked me in the eye
    She said that I looked tired, she told me she could drive
    I pulled up to the station, walked through neon lights
    Then she put her foot down, down, down, down
    Why did you leave me alone that night
    You took of racing, the kid is mine
    You left me standing out on the yellow line
    The daylights fading into the night
    We cross the line
    We cross the line
    We cross the line
    We cross the line
    Oh now the white is red
    Can't get it outta my head
    Oh now the white is red
    I don't know why she left, took off racin'
    I ran down yellow line, red lights fadin'
    She went left, double line, outta luck, outta time
    I cover my eyes, I know she crossed the line
    She crossed the line
    She crossed the line
    She crossed the line
    She crossed the line
    She crossed the line
    She crossed the line
    She crossed the line
    She crossed the line
    Oh now the white is red
    Can't get it outta my head
    Oh now the white is red

    • @kikoishere
      @kikoishere 9 років тому +16

      Lauren Nielson Saying rap instead of rock says nothing... There's a lot of good rap and a lot of bad rock. As in every genre, there's good stuff, and bad stuff.

      Lauren Nielson Sadly they're the definition of "starving artist". I'm guilty of these guys passing me by but I am hearing them more and more on the radio and every song I hear from them is better than the last so it's time to send them some of my money in support.

    I have two questions about this song:
    1) Is this Frankie the Frankenstein from "Right on, Frankenstein"? (Ok, this one is a joke).
    2) Does "Now the white is red" really means the girl had an abortion??? 💀

    Speaking from a guy who saw the rock bands of the 80s - Judas Priest, AC-DC and Iron Maiden.
    Saw Aerosmith, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple reform (Was the Best Concert I ever Saw) and some other classic's like Van Halen with Diamond Dave and Steve Ray Vaughan twice.
    Saw Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam and Sound Garden and Chili Peepers 2 years running.
    I feel pretty privileged to have NOT suffered under the Rap Regime.

      ***** I guess it all comes down to opinion and you can take it or leave it.
      I don' like Rap or Hip Hop and think it degrades women and is a bad influence on kids and trying to pretend it doesn't is ignorant...
      That's my opinion and don't really care what yours is...

      You don't like it, I get it.
