TuesdayTune: Noah & the Whale 'Five Years Time'

Noah & the Whale are an English Indie band from Twickenham formed in 2006 and are named after film director Noah Baumbach and his film The Squid and the Whale. 


This music video has the most awesome 70s home video vibe to it, and the song is pretty darn rad too.

Oh well, in five years time we could be walking round a zooWith the sun shining down over me and youAnd there’ll be love in the bodies of the elephants tooAnd I’ll put my hand over your eyes but you’ll peek through

And there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our bodiesAnd sun, sun, sun all down our necksAnd there’ll be sun, sun, sun all over our facesAnd sun, sun, sun, so what the heck?

'Cause we’ll be laughing at all your silly little jokesAnd we’ll be laughing about how we used to smokeAll those stupid little cigarettes and drink stupid wine'Cause it’s what we needed to have a good time

But it was fun, fun, fun when we were drinkingIt was fun, fun, fun when we were drunkAnd it was fun, fun, fun when we were laughingIt was fun, fun, fun, oh, it was fun

Oh well, I look at you and say it's the happiest that I’ve ever beenAnd I’ll say I no longer feel I have to be James DeanAnd she’d say, yeah well, I feel pretty a happy tooAnd I’m always pretty happy when I’m just kicking back with you

And it’ll be love, love, love all through our bodiesAnd love, love, love all through our mindsAnd it'll be love, love, love all over her faceAnd love, love, love all over mine

And though it's nearly all these moments are just in my headI’ll be thinking ‘bout them as I’m lying in bedAnd I know that it nearly that it might not even come trueBut in my mind I’m havin’ a pretty good time with you

Oh, in five years time I might not know youIn five years time we might not speakOh, in five years time we might not get alongIn five years time you might just prove me wrong

Oh, there’ll be love, love, love wherever you goThere’ll be love, love, love wherever you goThere’ll be love, love, love wherever you goThere’ll be love, love, love wherever you go

There’ll be love, love, love wherever you goThere’ll be love, love, love wherever you goThere’ll be love, love, love wherever you goThere’ll be love, love, love wherever you goThere’ll be love
