The Black Keys

The Black Keys is an American rock band formed in Akron, Ohio, in 2001. The group consists of vocalist/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer/producer Patrick Carney. The group began as an independent act that the duo founded after dropping out of college, and eventually emerged in a second wave of popular garage rock revival artists from the 2000s. Song lyrics All lyrics written by Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, except as noted. Thickfreakness (2003) You hit the city, it swallow you whole;You got no friends darlin', to satisfy your soul.And then the sidewalk ends, lights all red,You say to yourself, you're better off dead.Hard row to hoe all by yourself. Hard Row, written by Dan Auerbach and Chuck Auerbach You hold onTo love that's gone.Run a mileTo see him smile.But you don't knowHe's door to door,Playin' youFor the fool.Let him go;Walk out your door.And come to me,I'm gonna set you free. Set You Free Rubber Factory (2004) What about the night,Makes you change, yeah,Oh, from sweet,To deranged?What about my voice,Tells you who,Who's been wrong to you? 10 A.M. Automatic Girl is on my mind,Girl is on my mind,Try to ignore it,I try to unwind,But she is on my mind. Girl Is On My Mind Love me,Don't leave me,Make me feel you need me,You kill me,Thrill me,Don't you know that I will be,Callin' on you everyday,Till I get my way? 'Till I Get My Way Magic Potion (2006) Evil hidesIn dark places,But now I find itIn familiar faces. Just Got To Be When I was thirteen,My mom said "Son,You're the one I adore."Now I'm old and wise,When I see your eyes,You're the one I adore. You're the One Attack & Release (2008) I was a movin' man in my younger days,But I've grown out of my ramblin' ways.I left that road so far behind,Now I know, oh baby.I got mine. I Got Mine And baby when I rollI roll deepand some are toldI couldn't get no sleep I Got Mine Kings and sons of GodTravel on their way from here,Calming restless mobs,Easing all of their, all of their fear.Strange times are here.Strange times are here. Strange Times Brothers (2010) I wanted love, I needed love,Most of all, most of all.Someone said true love was dead,And I'm bound to fall, bound to fallFor you.Oh, what can I do? Tighten Up When I was young and moving fastNothing slowed me down,Oh slowed me down.Now I let the others pass;I've come around,Oh come around'Cause I've found.Living just to keep goingGoing just to be saneAll the while live knowingSuch a shame. Tighten Up I must admitI can't explainAny of these thoughts racingThrough my brain.It's trueBaby I'm howlin' for you. Howlin' for You El Camino (2011) Well I’m so above youAnd it’s plain to seeBut I came to love you anyway.So you tore my heart out.And I don’t mind bleedingAny old time you keep me waitingWaiting, waiting. Lonely Boy Interviews "The whole system right now with these majors is like, signing shit that has the most social media interaction, the most streaming... and I was like, you know what? When I was nine years old, I bought Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby," and I listened to that shit-- I'm not joking-- like, 250 times in a week. Like a fucking idiot. And like, that's who's listening to this shit that's getting a billion streams in a month. It's like, fucking nine year old morons."
