Transcript of Digital Booklet - Brothers (iTunes D
She’s Long GoneWritten by The Black Keys
Recorded at Easy Eye Sound SystemEngineered by Dan AuerbachProduced by The Black Keys
She was made to blow you awayShe don’t care what any man say
You can watch her strut But keep your mouth shut
Or it’s ruination day
She’s long, long goneShe’s long gone like Moses through the corn
Her eyes are rubies and pearlsAnd she’s not made like those other girlsHer lashes flap and they smack men backLike springs they bounce off of her curls

Let me be your everlasting lightThe sun when there is none
I’m a shepherd for youAnd I’ll guide you through
Let me be your evelasting light
Let me be your everlasting lightI’ll hold and never scoldIn me you can confide
When no one’s by your sideLet me be your everlasting light
Oh darling, can’t you seeI’m shining just for you
Loneliness is overDark days are through
Let me be your everlasting lightA train going away from pain
Love is the coalThat makes this train roll
Let me be your everlasting light
The Only OneWritten by The Black Keys
Recorded at Easy Eye Sound SystemEngineered by Dan AuerbachProduced by The Black Keys
Can’t explainNor can I contain
Control You have on my soul
It’s all I do Is baby dream of you
I’m falling downWhen you’re around
You’re the only oneYou’re the only one
I’m so wrapped up in a dazeHoping this is just a faze
But when all is said and doneI know you are still the one
You’re the only oneYou’re the only oneCupid’s bow it stung
Now you’re the only one
Mystery Is what this is to me
I’m giving upI’m having no luck
Like a ghostThe one that I love most
She disappears When I get near
Next GirlWritten by The Black Keys
Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound StudioEngineered by Mark Neill
Produced by The Black Keys and Mark NeillBacking Vocals by Nicole Wray
The look of the cakeIt ain’t always the taste
My ex girl she had Such a beautiful face
I wanted loveBut not for myself
But for the girlSo she could love herself
My next girlWill be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back thenI’ll never do it again
With my next girlShe’ll be nothing like my ex girl
That was a painful dance Now I got a second chance
A beautiful faceAnd a wicked way
And I’m paying for her Beautiful face every day
All that work Over so much timeIf I think too hard
I might lose my mind
Tighten UpWritten by The Black Keys
Recorded at The Bunker, Brooklyn, New YorkEngineered by Kennie Takahashi
Produced by Danger Mouse
I wanted love, I needed loveMost of all, most of all
Someone said true love was deadAnd I’m bound to fall, bound to fall
For youBut what can I do?
Take my badge but my heart remainsLovin’ you, baby child
Tighten up on your reigns You’re runnin’ wild, runnin’ wild
It’s true
Sick for days in so many waysI’m achin’ now, I’m achin’ now
It’s times like these I need reliefPlease show me how, show me how
To get right
When I was young and moving fastNothing slowed me down, slowed me down
Now I let the others passI’ve come around, come around
Living just to keep goingGoing just to stay sane
All the while never knowingIt’s such a shame
I don’t need to get steadyI know just how I feel
I’m telling you to get readyMy dear
Howlin’ For You
Written by The Black KeysRecorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio
Engineered by Mark NeillProduced by The Black Keys and Mark Neill
Backing Vocals by Nicole Wray
I must admitI can’t explain
All these thoughts racingThrough my brain
It’s trueBaby I’m howlin’ for you
There’s something wrongWith this plot
The actors here Have not got
A clueBaby I’m howlin’ for you
MockingbirdCan’t you see
The little girl’s Got a hold on me
Like glueBaby I’m howlin’ for you
Throw the ball To the stick
Swing and missIn the catcher’s mitt
Strike twoBaby I’m howlin’ for you
The Go GetterWritten by The Black Keys
Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound StudioEngineered by Mark Neill
Produced by The Black Keys and Mark Neill
Hi-fi bone boxPretty girl in bobby sox
After party in a hotel roomPretty soon there will be no moonStumble home in the pouring rain
Let the water ease my worried brainSome days I just can’t get along
I need a head to lean my shoulders on
Palm treesThe flat broke disease
And LA has got meOn my knees
I amThe bluest of blues
Every day A different way to lose
The Go Getter
I got a table at the Rainbow RoomI told my wife I’d be home soon
Big ships are approaching the docksI got my hi-fi bone box
Mashed potatoes in cellophaneI see my life going down the drain
Hold me baby and don’t let goPretty girls help to soften the blow
Im Not The OneWritten by The Black Keys
Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound StudioEngineered by Mark Neill
Produced by The Black Keys and Mark Neill
I've been triedAnd I’ve been tested
I was born tiredAnd I never got rested
Harder thanMarble stoneI’m better off
Better off left alone
Cause I’m not the oneNo I’m not the oneYou wanted it all
But I’ll give you noneCause, I’m not the one
Well, like a toyTo a kid
I said jump And mama you did
You know, your daddy knowsAnd your mama knows
That’s wrongSo now it’s time
For me to move on
You thinkThat I’m normal
But all these yearsI’m just trying to warn you
You’d do good To move onNo it won’t
Hurt me none
Too Afraid To Love You
Written by The Black KeysRecorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio
Engineered by Mark NeillProduced by The Black Keys and Mark Neill
My gears they grindMore each dayAnd I feel like
They’re gonna grind away
And the city blocksThey drive me wild
They’re never endingMile after mile
I just don’t know what to doI’m too afraid to love you
It’s heaven on earthIn her embrace
Her gentle touchAnd her smiling face
I’m just one wishingThat I was a pair
With someone Oh somewhere
All those sleepless nightsAnd all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me But I think he’s here to stay
What more can I doI’m wringing myself dryAnd I can’t afford to lose
One more teardrop from my eye
Unknown Brother
Written by The Black KeysRecorded at Easy Eye Sound System
Engineered by Dan AuerbachProduced by The Black Keys
Though I never met youAnd we spoke not a word
I’ll never forget youThrough stories that I’ve heard
For you unknown brotherMy baby’s mother is pained
Cause your soul is in heavenBut your memory remains
Unknown, unknown brotherI’ll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brotherWe’ll walk through fields where children
play
Your eyes shined brightWhen you were a kidYour sisters loved youAnd all that you did
Big brother, big brotherDon’t worry a bit
Your flame has not fadedSince the day it was lit
Your life Was joy
Your mama’sOnly boy
And when the skiesAre blue
Big brother They’re blue for you
We’ll smile like picturesOf you as a boy
Long before you retiredTo heavenly joy
Ten Cent PistolWritten by The Black Keys
Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound StudioEngineered by Mark Neill
Produced by The Black Keys and Mark Neill
Well, he ran aroundLate at night
Holding hands And making light
Of everything That came before But there she wasBehind the door
She hit them with her ten cent pistolBecause they ruined her name
Well, she hit them with her ten cent pistolAnd they’ve never been the same
There’s nothing worseIn this world
Than payback from a Jealous girl
The laws of manDon’t apply
When blood gets inA woman’s eye
Stars did fallThunder rolled
Bugs crawled backIn their holes
The couple screamedBut far too late
Cause a jealous heart Did retaliate
Sinister KidWritten by The Black Keys
Recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound StudioEngineered by Mark Neill
Produced by The Black Keys and Mark Neill
The crooks are outAnd the streets are gray
You know I wouldn’t have itAny other way
Your mother’s wordsThey’re ringing still
But your mother don’tPay our bills
A sinister kid is a kid whoRuns to meet his Maker
A drop dead sprint from the day he’s bornStraight into his Maker’s arms
And that’s me, that’s meThe boy with the broken halo
That’s me, that’s meThe devil won’t let me be
I got a tortured mindAnd my blade is sharp
A bad combinationIn the dark
If I kill a manIn the first degreeBaby would you
Flee with me
Never GonnaGive You Up

These DaysWritten by The Black Keys
Recorded Soil of the South Studios in San DiegoEngineered by Mark Neill
Produced by The Black Keys and Mark Niell
My hand to GodI didn’t mean to
After allLook what we’ve been throughMen come in different shades
That’s how we’re made
The little house on Ellis DriveIs where I felt most alive
The oak tree covered that old FordI miss it Lord, I miss it Lord
These blood red eyesDon’t see so good
But what’s worse is if they couldWould I change my ways?
Wasted times and broken dreamsViolent colors so obscene
It’s all I see these daysThese days
Watch what you sayThe devil is listenin’
He’s got ears that youWouldn’t believe
And brother once you go to himIt’s your soul you can never retrieve
