The Greatest

[sweetie 6,628]

I miss Long Beach and I miss you babe
I miss dancing with you the most of all
I miss the bar where the Beach Boys would go
Dennis's last stop before Kokomo

 

Those nights were on fire
We couldn't get higher
We didn't know that we had it all
But nobody wants you before the fire

 

I'm wasted
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I'm facing the greatest
The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I had a ball
I guess I'm signing off after all

 

I miss New York and I miss the music
Me and my friends‚ we miss rock and roll
I want shit to feel just like it used to
When baby‚ I was doing nothing the most of all

 

The culture's lit and if this is it‚ I had a ball
I guess that I'm burnt out after all

 

I'm wasted
Don't leave, I just need a wake-up call
I'm facing the greatest
The greatest loss of them all
The culture is lit and I had a ball
I guess that I'm burnt out after all

 

If this is it, I'm signing off
Miss doing nothing‚ the most of all
Hawaii just missed that fireball
L.A. is in flames, it's getting hot
Kanye West is blonde and gone
Life on Mars ain't just a song
Oh, the livestream's almost on

Did she need to use "lit" though

"They say yer lit, Jack ... lit like fffffire"

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,111]

“The cultures lit and I had a ball”

 

Like.... I know people say this every time she drops a record

but it has such a like, goodbye song vibe?

she BETTER give us another fucking album after this one.............

[sjatib 5,174]

Already posted this of NFR's pre-release thread. Anyway, has anyone noticed the similarities between the chorus on The Greatest and on Sam Smith's "Im not the only one"?

[domandapiano 12,116]

^mildly

 

This actually sounds like it could be a good song tho

The culture's lit and I had a ball

I'd bet cake this is a play on words, that the world's on fire and it was fun while it lasted. Sort of her version of Jim Morrison's line "I don't know what's gonna happen, man, but I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames" which she quoted on Twitter once.

[Hanna 2,899]

i don’t think she would ever say “the culture was lit” without it being satirical or having some sort of double meaning

I don't understand why people say this every album release? What reason does she have not to release another album I truly do not understand the logic

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,111]

Well to me that lyric sounds like she’s reflecting on the music industry and her career

but go off sis I want her to stick around making albums for at least another decade

[fl0ridakil0s 3,960]

And I thought this would be a happy song

[rocknrollgroupie 4,508]

What reason does she have not to release another album I truly do not understand the logic

Well... remember when she said “*Without a doubt*within the next five years. Kids. Friends, all that’s a bonus.”

If she really wants to have kids, it would happen in like 2 years? I mean... she’s 34. So yeah, if that ever happens she would take a really long break, but wouldn’t stop writing. And that’s why I hope she goes on a world tour again next year

I can’t wait for this masterpiece to destroy me

[KingJay 3,018]

I can’t wait for this masterpiece to destroy me

Same, this song based on the snippets sounds like it’s going to be The Greatest hehe.

[American Whore 51,668]

Considering she LITERALLY has done 3 songs for movies this year and just released a completely new track last week that she wrote and recorded less than a week before, she’s not going anywhere... I’ll expect her to start the next era off after this short 15 show tour (at least writing/recording an idea for it)

I miss Long Beach and I miss you, babe

I miss dancing with you the most of all

I miss the bar where the Beach Boys would go

Dennis's last stop before Kokomo

 

Those nights were on fire

We couldn't get higher

We didn't know that we had it all

But nobody warns you before the fall

 

And I'm wasted

Don't leave – I just need a wakeup call

I'm facing the greatest

The greatest loss of them all

The culture is lit and I had a ball

I guess I'm signing off after all

 

I miss New York and I miss the music

Me and my friends, we miss rock and roll

I want shit to feel just like it used to

When baby, I was doing nothing the most of all

 

The culture is lit

And if this is it

I had a ball

I guess that I'm burned out after all

 

We're wasted

Don't leave – I just need a wakeup call

I'm facing the greatest

The greatest loss of them all

The culture is lit and I had a ball

I guess I'm signing off after all

I guess that I'm burned out after all

If this is it, I'm signing off

 

Miss doing nothing the most of all

Hawaii just missed a fireball

L.A. is in flames; it's getting hot

Kanye West is blond and gone

"Life on Mars" ain't just a song

Oh, the livestream's almost on

[AKASAKA SAWAYAMA 7,887]

Kanye West is blind and gone
