I'll say what I always say: its all of their albums put together. So many hints and fusions from felt mountain, black cherry, super nature. A wonderful combination of romanticism, folk and electric seduction.
The great thing about Goldfrapp to me is that I no longer have to question their lyrics. It doesn't have to mean anything to me and I'll accept it just the same. That makes a true artist in my eyes.
Lyrically unintelligible but utterly ravishing. The last minute or so is like a 360 degree pan around somewhere that could be briefly Heaven, however conditionally.
I just watched Jack goes boating, a very good movie, and absolutely loved this song! The colours in the video are exactly the colours I see in my head when listening to this.
I think thats what I love about all of her albums. Unlike many others i only put her albums rarely, for the simple reason of that i won't be able to do anything else until the album is finished. Its just so hard to pull yourself away from them, they're that good.
Its great to hear that so many people are now giving it a chance. When it first came out I felt the same way because the first song I'd heard I didn't like. But after giving it another chance and exploring I found myself often having to defend it because everyone wanted it be more electric and fun. I tried to explain to them that it was aninteresting blend of all of their previous records. I was just happy to hear inspirations from felt mountain in this one. I think its some of their best work.
This might be my favorite song on the album. I have the booklet w/ hand-drawn lyrics & doodles that came with the deluxe cd set ... will check them out and post *that* version of the song tomorrow.
If you don't eat yourself No doubt the pain will instead You could longer life Seen it on that land You went south on the train She wore plastic boots for rain And you crawl along exhausted No sense do you like this Crawling Who will I be when I'm with you again Silver jet in the sky You are the pain Got a song, got to sing For life If you don't eat yourself No doubt the pain will instead If you don't eat yourself You will explode instead Cause I love love you so When I know you don't love me You who laughs alone Get wicked, did it come Who will I be when I'm with you again Silver jet in the sky You are the pain Got a song, got to sing For life
Great song and album - took me a year to give it a second listen - I was expecting something more like the previous album but I now love seventh tree lots too :)
if you don't eat yourself no doubt the pain will instead. you could longer life, sate it on that lamb. you went south on a train. she wore plastic boots for rain. and you crawl along a thin line. you dream death'll colour me. who will i be when i'm with you again? silver jet in the sky. you were the pain. got a song; got to sing. for life.
@BigJohnWoody they are underrated, in turns of chart performance and generally to me their make some of the cleverest music ever, everything is so subtle, the music is always so powerful and visual, no matter what styles they choose,and I really think Head First is Goldfrapp's most underrated album (not best, most underrated)as always its so visulal,clever subtle and really relates to the artwork and general themes, structurally headfirst is very unusual but you don't notice its that creative
Goldfrapp is of my top favorite artists! She eminates beauty and art....something lacking in our current music industry. Music is no longer music...it's just 'sound.' (main-stream) And wtf is happening to Europe? They're top 10 consist of American pop and R&B stars like Beyonce and Justin Timberlake? Sad sad sad!
Maintaining the 'eloquence'... Felt mountain was like a cold, dark, misty night. Seventh tree is like a cold, fresh and sunny morning. Lacks the smoke form Black Cherry and Felt, but gains light and promise. Nevermind that.
I think the saddest thing about this album is it sounds deep, but it is all surface, which is crueler than Trent Reznor ever could be. If you read the lyrics she is remarking on her OWN LACK of depth on Clowns and perhaps EMPATHY. "Only clowns would play with those balloons. What do you want to look like Barbie for?" set to a 60's psychedelic guitar and vocals with heavy reverse reverb. Here she coos to a loved one to eat themselves over a lost love. But, there is something about her cast as a harlequin in a tree with an OWL that shows she could care less. In happiness she tells a bouncing fool "give us all your money and you fill find harmony and peace of mind"-perhaps she works for scientology. Utopia, Supernatural, & this. COLD and CRUEL INDEED. A professional stripper. Before you get carried away with production values. WHICH ARE AMAZING. Really sit down and thumb through the lyrics. She might be a psychotic with a GREAT VOICE.
Ah well, the 'seated on that land' line is absent from the booklet lyrics. As is the reference to the 'blade is deep'. In the first stanza, I hear: If you don't eat yourself no doubt the pain instead you could love your life seated on that land ...and in second stanza I hear: If you don't eat yourself no doubt the blade is deep ...but it may be 'pain is deep'
When Kirk says...Warp drive Mr Zulu......he's about to have a guilty pleasure moment..........headphones on...Engage Goldfrapp................Spock....you have the helm. ;0)
lyrics sounding more like a lost baby. Just loving Gfrapp tunes the past few months. Caught this song and love it. The words sound like muttled fragments of death (acc. or otherwise)I can see why maybe Allison chose to muttle them. Great song nonetheless...
jakepeep: well, to me thats the good thing about goldfrapp - they dont like to repeat themselves, i dont see the point in releaseing an album that sounds the same every time i also looooove the upbeat stuff too but if i want to hear it i will listen to the older albums, i dont need a new one sounding the same, i prefer the variety that they give while still sounding like the same band...
I found differents versions of these lyrics, dunno what is the real one, some stars with :"If you don't eat yourself No doubt the blade is deep You could love your life Seated on that land " ; other "If you know me good, See it now, the blade is deep, You could loathe the lie Seen in all that now" ; "If you don't eat yourself No doubt the pain will instead You could longer life Sitting on that land "
Who knows? I see it to be about 2 1/2 doomed relationships? 1) Partner left 'south on the train' with her who wore 'plastic boots in the rain'. 2) Partner back for a weekend (in a silver jet?) 'Who will I be when I'm with you again?' It's not looking good! ('the blade is deep')
if you don't eat yourself, no doubt the pain'll instead. if you don't eat yourself, you will explode instead. cos i love, love you so, but i know you don't love me. you wouldn't last that long. get wicked, let it come
This is SO beautiful... The whole album is a masterpiece, not to mention the artwork.
Literally breaks what’s left of my heart
The most painful of Goldfrapp's songs...
I'll say what I always say: its all of their albums put together. So many hints and fusions from felt mountain, black cherry, super nature. A wonderful combination of romanticism, folk and electric seduction.
This song gives me chills . . . in fact, all Goldfrapp songs give me chills. Goldfrapp music = a gift to my ears
The great thing about Goldfrapp to me is that I no longer have to question their lyrics. It doesn't have to mean anything to me and I'll accept it just the same. That makes a true artist in my eyes.
Lyrically unintelligible but utterly ravishing. The last minute or so is like a 360 degree pan around somewhere that could be briefly Heaven, however conditionally.
She's a good lyricist and conceptual artist. Her layered mix-ins are awesome.
I love this SOOOOOO much. Moved beyond words. Must have listened to it hundreds of times.
one of my all time faves, always come back to this: so nostalgically beautiful and pure!
love the bit that kicks in at 3:00
Beautiful song, I cry everytime I hear it.
Thank you very much for uploading
this was my favorite album to fall asleep to her voice was so angelic on this album! I love Allison Goldfrapp
I fell in love with this song the minute I heard it... : )
This song in general tugs at all my heart strings. I’ve cried to it so many times. 🖤
Amazing song from the everlastingly amazing Goldfrapp!
if you don't eat yourself, no doubt the pain will instead
im in love with allison! AMAZING singer/songwriter... this and Pilots are 2 of the most beautiful songs EVER!
I'm obsessed with that owl.
Just when you thought you -& everything around you was heavy, earthbound... this comes along to say there's more, much much more ✨
I just watched Jack goes boating, a very good movie, and absolutely loved this song! The colours in the video are exactly the colours I see in my head when listening to this.
Best album,, great for late night drives in the country
I love this song, I can't help it, it's so fantastic....
It's my favourite song from the cd too it makes me so sad,I don't know why but everytime I hear it I could cry...so beautyful
"if you don't eat yourself
no doubt the pain will instead.
If you don't eat yourself
you will explode instead"
Beautiful masterpiece, sad,slow,beautiful voice ,lyrics,i feel like cry each time i hear it,these guys are so talented!
this video always depresses me in a beautifully depressing way if that makes any sense. I love their creativity. And I love love love her
I think thats what I love about all of her albums. Unlike many others i only put her albums rarely, for the simple reason of that i won't be able to do anything else until the album is finished. Its just so hard to pull yourself away from them, they're that good.

If you don't eat yourself No doubt the pain will instead
You could longer life Seen it on that land
You went south on the train She wore plastic boots for rain
And you crawl along exhausted No sense do you like this Crawling
Who will I be when I'm with you again
Silver jet in the sky
You are the pain Got a song, got to sing For life
If you don't eat yourself No doubt the pain will instead
If you don't eat yourself You will explode instead
Cause I love love you so When I know you don't love me
You who laughs alone Get wicked, did it come
Who will I be when I'm with you again Silver jet in the sky
You are the pain Got a song, got to sing For life
amazing song, it should be a smash hit
Very beautiful !!
Just perfect.

Yes! Cocorosie is amazing as well
Such a 70s feel to this song. So beautiful
This song and Clowns are my favourites of the disc
awesome, i had no idea there was a video to this!
Beautiful....
Maintaining the 'eloquence'... Felt mountain was like a cold, dark, misty night. Seventh tree is like a cold, fresh and sunny morning. Lacks the smoke form Black Cherry and Felt, but gains light and promise.
Nevermind that.
Double Ditto. Love it.
The perfect song.
selfishly in love with this song. Fuck it.
right...i don't know why, but this is my favorite song from the whole cd

great video thanks
Love this one!
My dad brought me here.
My favourite too!
I really like the video to this, it works really well
Ah well, the 'seated on that land' line is absent from the booklet lyrics. As is the reference to the 'blade is deep'. In the first stanza, I hear:
If you don't eat yourself no doubt the pain instead
you could love your life seated on that land
...and in second stanza I hear:
If you don't eat yourself no doubt the blade is deep
...but it may be 'pain is deep'
-"honey lets go party!"
-"Honey? you go I will eat myself"
When Kirk says...Warp drive Mr Zulu......he's about to have a guilty pleasure moment..........headphones on...Engage Goldfrapp................Spock....you have the helm. ;0)
sublime!
Ator untela :'v
When I finally turn this knife on myself, I'll be humming this song.
keep the knife away, just hum the song ;)
practicing our cover of Eat Yourself by our favorite duo, the wonderful Goldfrapp :)
Saudades de ouvir.
