Rayse 658 Posted May 1, 2014 We'll probably have two West Coast lyrics for the different versions because in the original she says I'm feeling hot to the touch in the first verse and in the summer one (thx @@Rebel) she says I'm feeling hot to the touch in the second verse and new lyrics are peppered throughout the 1:30 preview 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel 3,176 Posted May 1, 2014 I noticed the missing verse too. Do we have the track lenght for this radio mix? I can't really hear "you pull me close" on the original version released It's 3:47, so I'm really confused about the missing verse. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prostitutestare 142 Posted May 9, 2014 If you change They're to Their... Down on the west coast, they love their movies, Their golden dozen, rock and roll groupies It also makes sense, grammatically (well... as close to grammatically correct as lyrics can get lol) However, if you change it to: Down on the west coast, they love their movies, Their golden gods and rock and roll groupies it also makes just as much sense. To be honest, I've sang along with the song both ways and when I sing "golden dozen" I hear her sing the hard D of Go"d"s and when I sing it "Golden Gods and" I hear her sing the Z sound of do"z"en. So I'm torn between lyrics atm. **stumbles** I hear you. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
getdrunk 410 Posted May 9, 2014 she clearly says he's crazy and Cubano como yo, la la and not 'my love'. You can see that in the video and also when she sings it live. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel 3,176 Posted May 9, 2014 Lyrics for the alternate version/radio edit/what I call the "Summer Version" (correct me pls) Down on the West Coast, they got a sayin' If you're not drinkin, then you're not playing But you got the music, you got the music in you, don't you?

YouCanBeTheBoss 71 Posted May 10, 2014 Agreed with @@getdrunk. I also hear "You say you'll miss me and I wanna say I'll miss you so much" and "Hold me close and you say 'Hush, baby hush'" (though I could be wrong). 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MotelHoney 305 Posted May 12, 2014 she clearly says he's crazy and Cubano como yo, la la and not 'my love'. You can see that in the video and also when she sings it live. Yeah but what on earth does la la mean? Sometimes when she sings 'love' it sounds like la. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mind Melt 10,095 Posted May 31, 2014 I finally used Pandora for the first time in forever and the West Coast lyrics they have are ridiculously wrong (I'm sure someone else has said this already though) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HEARTCORE 18,969 Posted July 7, 2014 I just realised; all the single covers, apart from WC, have been in black and white but the videos have been in colour, apart from WC, which is (mostly) black and white. How cohesive. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoledman 200 Posted April 30, 2015 One of my favorite LDR songs. I love the whole southern California feel of it. You almost think that Lana is some re-incarnated 1960s starlet who drowned in a swimming pool while smoking Parliaments. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fork2 90 Posted December 24, 2015 I love this song. I wrote in the color synthesia or w/e thread about it and here's the feeling I get from it:It's the middle of the night on a steamy hot Florida beach (YES I KNOW THIS IS CALLED WEST COAST, NOT EAST COAST, leave me alone) and then you stumble over the rocks and you get to a tropical forest. The dirt is cool beneath your feet. You smell cigarette smoke behind you and you see that gorgeous guy from the bar you were just at. You trip over your long dress and he laughs and helps you back up, you just start dancing randomly until the sunrise.Yeah. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Solar Fields 4,163 Posted April 10, 2017 I finally decided to look at the lyrics of this and wow I've been wrong for a while, but now I have a newfound love for this song 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Say Yes to Heaven 27,435 Posted July 4, 2018 Major thanks to Honeymouns for the acapella, but was able to filter the background vocals at the end of the song perfectly and found out Lana actually says "and your rock and roll". It's pitched way down at the beginning alongside "mic check (something "rock and roll")" http://picosong.com/w9TM9 0:02 First pitched down "and your rock and roll" 0:19 "Mic check, rock and roll" 0:24 (?) Unsure. "And all the queens and rock and roll?" 0:26 Normal pitch "And your rock and roll" 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Say Yes to Heaven 27,435 Posted July 4, 2018 Ok hear me out, but was just discussing with a friend and it's not totally unimaginable that those background vocals are from the original song's bridge. They did completely rework the song and you can totally hear new lyrics in that, though its in the pitched down vocals. "Pop song of the summer, boy All the queens want your loving, boy" + the "your rock and roll" vocals are totally random and made to not be heard so clear!! 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amadeus 11,333 Posted July 4, 2018 what if they're from another scrapped song like "lay me down tonight" or the hbtb sample 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Say Yes to Heaven 27,435 Posted July 4, 2018 where's the "pop song of the summer, boy" part? Probably not exact lyrics but here, I cropped the part. I know for sure it's Lana since you can hear the unpitched vocals in the reverb behind those pitched vocals. http://picosong.com/w9TWW 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
