The indie rock blog community has been moaning about the fact nobody’s posted the lyrics to the new YYYs single “Gold Lion” yet. Their manager sent us this. Happy now?

Listen: Gold Lion

Also, YYY guitarist Nick Zinner is showing his “I Hope You Are All Happy Now” photos at the Vice Gallery in Berlin, Gipsstr. 3 RGB 10119 – Berlin from March 24 to 27.

Gold Lion

Gold lion’s gonna tell me where the light is,
Gold lion’s gonna tell me where the light is,
Take our hands out of control,
Take our hands out of control

Now, tell me what you saw,
Tell me what you saw,
There was a crowd of seeds,
Inside, outside,
I must have done a dozen each

It was the height I threw, the weight,
The shell was crushing you,
I’ve been around a few

Tell me what you saw,
I’ll tell you what to…
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh

Gold lion’s gonna tell me where the light is,
Gold lion’s gonna tell me where the light is,
Take our hands out of control,
Take our hands out of control

Outside, Inside,
This is the moon without a tide,
We’ll build a fire in your eyes,
We’ll build a fire when the cover’s getting brighter,
Cold as I, makes the moon without a tide

Tell me what you saw,
I’ll tell you what to…
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ohh ohh
