Can I Sit Next to You Lyrics

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 the stitches we got, all our brains so cooked

Some day I'm gonna get where you are
I've been down so long
Been down for long but gotta get lifted up

I'm gonna walk a tightrope
Gonna get kicks every night
The law's holding me back, no it's changing my mind
Gonna walk a tightrope
Gonna get kicks every night
Law's holding me back, no it's changing my mind
Get the stars out your eyes
Come and sit next to me
I'm the Tennessee skies down on South Front Street

I've been working on a plan, yeah
I been down so long

Been down but now I gotta get lifted up

Spoon is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas. The band was formed in late 1993 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno. Current members also include: Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals) and Rob Pope (bass, backing vocals - replaced Joshua Zarbo in 2007).

After releasing their debut LP Telephono on Matador Records, the band signed with Elektra in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response the band released a two-song single titled The Agony of Laffitte (referring to Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte). Eventually they signed to Merge Records.

Spoon has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the same feat a year later. Gimme Fiction was released on May 10, 2005 and continued the trend of increasing popularity for the band.

Britt Daniel wrote much of the soundtrack to the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Four tracks by Spoon are also featured.

The band released their sixth studio album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga on July 10, 2007; those who purchased the first pressing also received a bonus disc titled Get Nice!.

Transference is their seventh studio album. It was released on January 18, 2010 in Europe, and on January 19 in North America, to moderately positive reviews.
