Something That You Can't Have

[Sean]

Well, if the album is finished, and according to NME Liam had only finished this new song on the day, it won't be on the album. Hence being posted here.

Think I got most of the lyrics, one or two I'm not sure about.

So I hear you're rebuilding your life
Down in Mexico way?, to act out your favourite play
With your cat and piano
I always knew you could play
I knew you better than your friends would suggest
The ones that lay claim to be the best

and that's always the way, when you want something
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have

You were my favourite one but I suppose that's fallen on deaf ears
Because of the way that it was left
It was in the hands of the gods, the sods
They're an unruly mob and on the CD they can now write down theft
Some things they are not for the best

and that's always the way, when you want something
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have

(whistling)

that's always the way, when you want something you can't have
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have
that's always the way, when you want something you can't have

Seems the NME got this wrong....

@what_Liam_Said that new song is so beautiful I nearly started crying when I heard those beautiful lyrics. X

@jane_beps4eva very kind words. If you like the acoustic version, you'll love the full band version - it's very different...it's massive.

Looks like it has been done by the band beforehand and is very likely to be on the record according to Liam and sounding very different by all accounts. I think Liam must have said I put together an acoustic version this morning and the NME took that as it's just been written this morning.

@what_Liam_Said does that mean it's likely to be on the album!?!!?! #tune!

@ellie_Prenderga Ellie, nothing is ever certain until we see Black Ink on White Paper. But probably.

That too... I hope it is on the album, it sounds class!!

Looks like it will be on #3 then.

When I first heard it I was quite underwhelmed but it's grown a little on me. Some nice lyrics in there but some of them seemed rushed. I don't know if it's because he'd only just worked out how he was gonna play it.

I'm more intrigued if anything to see how it sounds from the studio version, its obvious that Liam has only just played it on the guitar so does that means it's piano or bass driven.
