LYRICS
The Feelies have never officially published their lyrics. The texts you find here are therefore the result of careful transcriptions made by listening to the records. Many thanks to Gretchen and Mike for their invaluable help. Despite our best efforts, some words remain unclear; in these cases, a question mark (?) has been placed next to them.

In Between
Use to be
Get a sound
Find a beat
Make it loud
Take a walk
Cross the town
By the pond
Pass the cloud
Like a dream
In between
Where you go
Then you know
Make a plan
Let it be
Find a voice
Make the beat
Like a dream
In between
Where you go
Then you know
Wake up untouched
Clear out your mind
Ready to go
Want you to know
You wanted to know
You wanted to know
It’s got to work
It’s got to work
Turn Back Time
Yesterday
Couldn’t say
What was wrong
Now it’s gone
Turn back the time
Yours and mine
Night is clear
Moon is bright
Air is warm
Moon is right
Go back in sight
Oh oh oh
All the way
Run your home
Hard to say
Can’t be done
Turn down the light
One more time
One more time
Stay the Course
Come to an open road
How far can it be
Gaze up at the sky
High as you can see
Stay on board
Fall behind
Stay the course
Keep on trying
Harder that you try
The more that it will be
Comes as no surprise
Find out what you believe
Stay on board
Fall behind
Stay the course
Keep on trying
Stay on board
Fall behind
Stay the course
Keep on trying
Stay on board
Fall behind
Stay the course
Keep on trying
Flag Days
Somebody’s talkin’
What are they sayin’
Why are they whipserin’
Nobody’s listenin’
On the corner
Somebody’s runnin’
In a straight line
I hear them comin’
Out the window
By the shadow
There’s a place for
A burning arrow
In the floodlight
On a tower
Burning hotter
By the hour
Hey now, Hey now
Come on baby
It’s alright, alright
Come on darlin’
Hey now, Hey now
Hey now, Hey now
Come on baby
It’s alright, alright
Change the subject
And pick your battles
And in the morning
It won’t matter
Are you dreaming
In real time
Like a weekend
Back in ’89
Hey now, Hey now
Come on baby
It’s alright, alright
Come on darlin’
Hey now, Hey now
Come on baby
It’s alright, alright
Come on darlin’
Pass The Time
Pass the time
You got a lot to spare
Take your time
Not goin’ anywhere
I’m not goin’ back
Been there before
Takin’ too long
I’m already gone
Fare thee well
And leave it all behind
Knowing well
You keep it in your mind
Wastin’ time
As far as I can tell
Peace of mind
Everything’s going so well
But I’m falling behind
But I’ll make it on time
With a minute to go
I thought you should know
Fare thee well
And leave it all behind
Knowing well
You keep it in your mind
When To Go
Early morning
Is for t… [?]
Restless dreams
Does it mean
Another night
Get it right
Another day
Slipped away
Peaceful feeling
Free and easy
Heaven needed [?]
Like I’m dreaming
Time to read
Make it real
Get it know
When to go
Been Replaced
Put the radio on
And it’s coming in strong
Coming in clear
But there’s nothing to hear
Another time
Another phase
In its time
In its place
I went to the show
But why did I go
It all seem the same
Well who can you blame
Another sign
Twist of fate
Another kind
Has been replaced
Gone, Gone, Gone
What do you wanna know?
What do you wanna do?
Where you gonna go?
Haven't got a clue
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, yeah
See you later on
Meet me in the park
Don't wait too long
Getting kinda dark
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, yeah
Time Will Tell
Be here how long
Waited so long
Time will tell
Know so well
People we know
Where do we go
Moment by moment
Be like they told us
Know so well
Time will tell
Be in the moment
Now and forever
Make It Clear
When you know you’re right
What can you do
You just might
Know it’s true
Anything for you
Anything for you
You know it’s true
Anything for you
When you’re near
I just might
Make it clear
That it’s alright
Anything for you
Anything for you
You know it’s true
Anything for you
Anything
Anything
Anything
Anything
