Thinkin' back, thinkin' of you
Summertime, think it was June
Yeah, think it was June

Laying back, head on the grass
Chewing gum, having some laughs
Yeah, having some laughs

You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one
The one

You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like a
The one

Drinking back, drinking for two
Drinking with you
When drinking was new

Sleeping in the back of my car
We never went far
Didn't need to go far

You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one
The one

You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one
The one

I don't know where we are going now
I don't know where we are going now

Wake up call, coffee and juice
Rememberin' you
What happened to you?

I wonder if we we'll meet again
Talk about life since then
Talk about why did it end

You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one
The one

You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one
The one

I don't know where we are going now
I don't know where we are going now

So take a look at me now (Repeat 16 times)

So take a look at me now, now

Song grabs me — I don't recognize yet that it's Stereophonics. Loved them since the first moment I heard Kelly's voice in "Smells Like Chaplin" on local high school radio ....... c. 1999
Posted 11 years ago by Segue    [ Reply ]
Cool memories come along with hearing this one, for sure...  I was installed in a stone farmhouse near Santa Fiora, in the Monte Amiata region of Tuscany for three months, from mid-Jan to mid-April of 2005...the only radio station I could get clearly was one from Rome, and even that one sometimes came and went...this song had just broken onto the music scene, and it was played at least twice a day or more...and yet it never seemed to bore me.  It's really got a rocking pulse, a strident groove, and good lyrics.  Thanks, RP for bringing all that back and keeping it alive for me!
Posted 11 years ago by coloradojohn    [ Reply ]
Love this!! Love them. How come I never heard it before? No one (recent) does good old RnR exuberance like Stereophonics. <3

This is one of them perfect songs to listen to when you need some speed and energy early in the morning - this, and "Ray of Light" by Madonna.

sounds like a 'harder' version of Snow Patrol.

As stated below, I agree, they're in the same vague genre as some other newer bands (death cab, interpol) but they have something these other bands dont, and that is they don't sound bored with their own music. Ooooh, take THAT death cab.
I hear what you're saying about Death Cab, but must disagree about Interpol. Interpol's disaffectedness is part of the sound, and in my opinion, it all comes together quite gloriously. I don't see a connection between Stereophonics and Interpol...but I do like this song. Sorry for the incoherence.
