Post by: slaneman on February 09, 2009, 02:49:50 AM

Get On Your Boots
Los Angeles, CA
Staples Center
Grammy Awards
2009-02-08

America
The future needs a big kiss
(The future needs a big kiss)

Let me in the sound...
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

The future needs a big kiss
Winds blow with a twist
Never seen a moon like this
Can you see it too?

Night is killing everywhere
Rockets at the fun fair
Satan loves a bomb scare
But he won’t scare you

Hey, sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah

You free me from a dark dream
Candy floss, ice cream
All our kids are screaming
But the ghosts aren’t real

Here’s where we gotta be
Love and community
Laughter is eternity
If joy is real

You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
You don’t know how beautiful / And you don’t know, you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know how beautiful you are

(Alright…oh-oh-oh)

That’s someone’s stuff they’re blowing up
But we’re into growing up
Women of the future
Hold the big revelation

I got a submarine
You got gasoline
I don’t wanna talk
About wars between nations

Not right now
Hey sexy boots
Not right now
Get on your boots, yeah
Not right now
Bossy boots

You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
You don’t know how beautiful / You don’t know, you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know how beautiful you are

I don’t wanna talk about wars between the nations / Sexy boots
Sexy boots, yeah / I don’t wanna talk about wars between nations

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound sound
Let me in the sound sound / Oh
Let me in the sound / Meet me in the sound

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound now
I think I’m going down
I don’t wanna drown now / God I’m going down
Meet me in the sound / In the sound

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound / Let me
Let me in the sound sound / Sound…going down
Let me in the sound sound / I don’t wanna
Meet me in the sound / Drown

Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Yeah-hey-hey
Get on your boots
Yeah-hey-hey
Get on your boots
Yeah-hey-hey

Thank you Walter
Can we get Whitney Houston on the show?


Most interesting things for me were the intro, which was a pre-recorded mix, (things to come?) and Larry standing to sing the "let me in the sound" part. I really like the "fez" drumming sound Larry gets in the first verses. Adam Clayton--the most underrated bass player in rock.

I'll take on all nay-sayers--this is a killer song. ;D
