You Only Live Once Lyrics - The Strokes



Review The Song (46)





Ooooooooh Ooooh Ooooh
Some people think they're always right
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice...(oh-ho)
Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no)

Twenty-nine different attributes
Only seven that you like (uh oh)
Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho)
Twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho)

Oh don't, don't, don't get out
Sh-sh-sh-sh-I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
ooooooo-ooooooo-oooooh

Oh, men don't notice what they got
Oh, women think of that a lot...
A thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho)
Not even one requires a plan (I know)

And countless odd religions, too
It doesn't matter which you choose (oh no)
One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho)
This I've tried and now refuse (oh-ho)

Oh don't, don't, don't get out
Sh-sh-sh-sh-I can't see the sunshine
Oh, I'll be waiting for you, baby
Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Alright

Shut me up
Shut me up
And I'll get along with you

WTF haters | Reviewer: Steven | 9/12/11

4real ppl... Shut up



Greats Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/13/11

I think this songs meaning is as simple as the title. Basically about living life up to its fullest. And as others have said, due to Julian's dislike towards religion, as well as my personal belief, there is nothing after death - so essentially just enjoy life while its here because you won't be alive forever.



Really People? | Reviewer: Caroline | 6/21/11

I'm pretty sure that this is about letting down your pride and your attacks and just love your woman or man. There are millions of things to contemplate about how to make your way in the world and the simple answer to being happy is to simply, be happy.



you only live once | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/8/11

He's saying that it doesn't matter what religion you are, we don't need to judge people on their religious beliefs. We can all live as one no matter what religious beliefs we have... You believe what you want to and I'll believe what I want to and it's all good.



Musical geniuses | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/2/11

Julian is very pure and I love the Strokes' music. Many people only bicker about how handsome Julian is and so on, but please... Appreciate his musical genius more. He could be the ugliest man on the planet and I would love his music more than any other. (not saying he is ugly... All of the men in the Strokes are very handsome ;))

I think there arent many things to analize since in one interview Julian said that he made songs for fun and they didn't touch him personality so i think this song talks just to enjoy this life because is one and there isn't afterlife.



Ridiculous | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/23/10

Shut up and just enjoy the damn song. He (Julian) didn`t write the song for anyone to over interpret. The lyrics are one thing for me but may mean an entirely different thing to someone else. Relax. People are too over analytical.



shut up and read... | Reviewer: jesus | 3/23/10

that part everyone is arguing about
is about how there are countless odd religions NONE of which make any more sense than another and it doesnt matter which one you choose your just stubbornly turning your back to the world. the singer has tried religion and now he refuses to be a part of it.
-it was in a interview so shut up jesus freaks



Choices | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/24/10

I think its about how we see the world, its about our choices in reflectly reacting to things in life. Things are never the way you always want it to be, but its your choice about how to react on it in a good way or bad way. Whatever............
This song is greaaaaaaaat. I just LOVE it!



Oh, hey. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/15/10

GOD WILL MAKE YOU ALL PAY(maybe....?) who are we to say that. i hate religion, waist of time. and im sorry i dont believe in a giant bearded man that no one can see creating everything. no thanks....love this tune tho <3
