You guys are amazing. And that synth riff good lord have mercy.....

[@terrillmel]

Yeah. The synth. OMG

[@orjanjohansson6392]

Holy mother of god, can't remember the last time I was this kicked in the face by a song. Fucking unreal!

[@craigburner1296]

I watched Spoon on BBC, Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen, Austin City Limits and a few others. KEXP kicked all of their asses by a significant margin for the quality of sound. Nice work!

[@felipetavares79]

It's even better than the album version.

[@jj72775]

Can I sit next to you?
Can you sit next to me?
Get the stars out your eyes
Come and bring them to me
I been down so long
I've been working on a plan, yeah
It's just that I been down so long
I gotta give me my mind what I can
Can I sit next to you?
Can you sit next to me?
I walked to Memphis alone
'Cause you'd do it for me
Ooh, I know you would
All of the kicks from the sticks
All the kicks that we knew
I put all that aside
Concentrate on you
All the kicks from the sticks
All the hits that we took
All them stitches we got
All our brains so cooked
Ah ah ah, some day I'm gonna get where you are
I've been down so long
Been down but now I gotta get lifted up
I'm gonna walk a tightrope
Gonna get kicks every night
No one's holding me back
No one's changing my mind no more
Gonna walk a tightrope
Gonna get kicks every night
No one's holding me back
No one's changing my mind
Get the stars out your eyes
Come and sit next to me
Under Tennessee skies
Down on South Front Street
Ah ah ah, I've been working on a plan, yeah
I been down so long
Been down but now I gotta get lifted up

[@ripkrylon]
