Los Angeles Waltz Lyrics

I've been sitting here patiently,
I've been talking to myself
Trying to shake that sinking feeling,
Wishing I was somebody else

And I know it's not easy,
When you don't get what you deserve
You can say that you love me,
But that's not what I've heard

Tonight in L.A.
Tonight in L.A.
Well it's got to be that way
Tonight in L.A.

Maybe I'll get right out of here,
All the way back to Turnpike Lane
Find me a girl who can calm me right down,
It's been such a fucked up year

And I know it's not easy,
When you don't get what you deserve
You can say that you love me,
But that's not what I've heard

Tonight in L.A.
Tonight in L.A.
Well it's got to be that way
Tonight in L.A.

Maybe I'll get myself together,
Or fall to pieces and run back home
Get me a ticket for an airplane,
I'm tired of being alone

I was on Mulholland Drive with the radio on,
They played Augustus Pablo and the Kings of Leon

We sing, we know it's not easy,
When you don't get what you deserve
And you can say that you love me,
But that's not what I've heard

Tonight in L.A.
Tonight in L.A.
Well it's got to be that way
Tonight in L.A.

I think of you,
How we own each other
I think of you,
Yeah we own each other
Own each other
Tonight in L.A.
Tonight in L.A.
Tonight in L.A.
Tonight in L.A.
Tonight in L.A.
Tonight in L.A.

Mars and the U.S.A.
In fall, and the Milky Way
It's got to be that way
Kinski's on Broadway
Home a million miles away, away, away

You've met your match
Stars catch your eyes
You've tried I'll bet
You've met your match
You burn like fire
I hide your love
You trust your nerve
You burn like fire
I steal I lie
I tried the thrill
You build me up
You steal you lie
And love me still
Like me you tried
You've cried I'll bet
You've met your match

Razorlight is an Anglo-Swedish band formed in London, United Kingdom in the summer of 2002 around singer/writer Johnny Borrell.

Razorlight is a four-piece consisting of Borrell (vocals & guitar), Björn Ågren (guitar), Carl Dalemo (bass) and Andy Burrows (drums)

Their debut album, Up All Night, was released on June 28, 2004, reaching number 3 in the UK album charts on 4 July. The critical reception was generally good, receiving good reviews from NME, Q magazine and Billboard, although they were also accused of lack of imagination and unoriginality for allegedly borrowing ideas from other influential bands, notably The Strokes. They appear to polarize opinion. NME wrote that the album: "bristles with passion, energy and, most importantly, amazing songs", while they were described elsewhere as "nearly everything wrong with rock and roll today". Their fans, though, embrace the music for its simple melodies and multi-layered, easy-going compositions.

Frontman Johnny Borrell caused some controversy and surprise when he likened himself to musical legend Bob Dylan, quipping "If Dylan's making the chips then I'm drinking the champagne". This led to suggestions of self-promotion. This statement was taken out of context however as Borrell was comparing his and Dylan's first albums, not their overall career. The band became very popular on the London music scene when they arrived earlier in the year. Large demand caused the band to play extra shows, including a 7,000+ capacity gig at Alexandra Palace. The album was heavily marketed in the UK.
