Phoenix - Trying to be cool

Lyrics:
City and desert coexist
Depending on the things you're wearing
Wildlife binoculars
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
They teach you suffer to resist
Too much intention, presbyterian
Mint julep testosterone
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on
Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Is innocent too immature where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Two dozen pink and white ranunculus
Why? What are the problems to solve?
To part time holy bachelors
Tell them that you want me
Tell them that you want me
Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on
Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Compliments sound too cynical where you're from
Tell me that you want me
Tell me what they want is
Gruesome,
I don't care where you're from
Nothing's that personal
There is no physical evidence of gullible boyfriend
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Why don't you tell me that you want me?
Tell me that you want it all

[@minnesotarascal7453]

Good at what? Having one song that got played on Walmart radio? I'm sure future generations will bend a knee at their statues.

[@sauceinnasaucer42]

damn I don’t think anyone knows this is one of the best songs ever made 😅

[@newinvention1977]

Actually I’m well aware of that haha

[@goranhodzic3797]

This band is very surprising . It's pop and romantic but also trippy dream weirdness.

[@leseniadominguez6346]

who remebers hearing this back in 2013?? great and dark times

[@seezejuuce4912]

Lesenia Dominguez dude 2013 was one for the books. shit was great and aweful.

[@PikUpYourPantsPatrol]

2013 sucked, this song is awesome though

[@joshuareynolds1545]

Why was 2013 terrible?

[@thekumlu]

Joshua Reynolds wondering too

[@rayrayroberts]

Lesenia Dominguez hahahaha

[@ceciliatorres3859]

This song brought me to HEAVEN.

[@Jonathan-gj1rl]

I caught the end of this song only once on the radio back when it came out, and I immediately searched for it. I'm so glad i did

[@PikUpYourPantsPatrol]

This song makes me feel like I can walk into the club and go home with everyone

[@OldSzkool]

lmao

[@NeostormXLMAX]

This song makes me feel like I live at the club and walk into people

[@etistyle96]

this song makes me feel the bouncer let me come inside

[@blink182lives100]

It's 3 AM. I'm listening to this song inside my house and I'm still wearing sunglasses

[@smill1985]

Because you're trying to be cool, lol!

[@khansaselliott7096]

blink182lives100 fuck yes!

[@joeanthony9162]

[@derekchapman2192]

Dead asf

[@Buugzy]

Hard to believe I actually listened to this beautiful gem four years ago

[@hareanaemahazien2767]

This band is underrated.

[@ProfessionalGreifer]

I could go on a nice walk to this song~

[@jorgehenrybautistasanchez3631]

La mejor canción de Phoenix de los últimos años.2013,siempre te recordaré porque al principio empezamos mal,casi misios,pero después evolucionamos,y terminamos bien.Nada como este tema,que me trae nostalgia,y eliminaba mis malos momentos.Doble Nueve,trata de pasar temas como estos,pero más seguido.Es un deseo de este fan,que agradece a esta música,que me ha cambiado la vida.

[@mercuriojimenezjimenez9555]

Conocí a una chica, desde hace año y medio me gusta, no le quería hablar por miedo al rechazo,fui afortunado porque después de año y medio la pude conocer, hablamos, reimos, de verdad me encanta, verla cuando pasa por los pasillos de la universidad, su cabello, su sonrisa, sus lentes, la forma de como camina tan sensual, sus ojos, es muy inteligente! los dos estudiamos Química en la UNAM , la primera vez que hablamos fue cuando le pedí el nombre del profesor ahora nos mandamos 2 canciones diarias para conocernos mejor ... aún no es mi novia, pero me gustaría caminar con ella, seguir compartiendo emociones, risas, secretos, miedos ... Y esta es una de las canciones que me ha enviado. Gracias por compartir tu música conmigo ...

[@mariajosenicole]

Casi te pregunto

[@aditirandev3591]

Phoenix is everything that is good in this world.

[@instagramfollowers20]

LOVE THIS SONG

[@jorgehenrybautistasanchez3631]

Sino fuera por radios como Doble 9,estas canciones no hubieran cambiado mi vida.Se ve que los nuevos géneros del rock están dando que hablar,y que tal melodía la de Phoenix.Suenan muy nostálgicos,desde su aparición en el 2006.Y este tema,del 2013 no es la excepción.Bonito recuerdo,para aquellos que buscan la armonía en su interior,y también para los que nunca olvidan.Saludos desde Lima.

[@carloslozano2047]

Jorge Henry Bautista Sanchez cierto, esta canción me marcó bastante en mi desarrollo del gusto musical y se lo debo a esa radio, que la empecé a escuchar por esos tiempos

[@marotto.]

Why isn't there a sad sunglasses emoji? To show that i'm unhappy but i'm still cool

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

😎💦

[@tliloselotl_]

This make me goosebumps.

[@citrusblast4372]

lol goosebumps sounds like some german snack

[@tliloselotl_]

And eargasms

[@kaechan9590]

Why am I only discovering this in 2018?! I thought this was a new tame impala song. So happy I found this band, even if it's late

[@tracyracy]

I know I'm 3 years late but check out their first(?) album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. It's amazing!

[@meandmelol]

This was my anthem when I travelled to China in 2015. Thank you guys for this!

[@discojohn8753]

This song reminds me of the time Dunkey beat Sky in Smash

[@inactive9544]

there is no escape

[@johncampbell9107]

This song belongs in the 80s

[@fcbsmokerunner22]

Gotta see Phoenix live!! 🔥

[@bagel2996]

My thoughts durning science class today: Thinking about the actual lesson: ❌ Thinking about that one song with the peach my mom used to listen to years ago: ✅ Hey at least I found it after all this time! I think finding a song you forgot is one of the most satisfying things we can feel.

[@mjr.9813]

Shout out to 92 for sampling this and bringing me back to this great band

[@theyetti90]

That peach is pretty cool.

[@J--Boy]

oh son

[@mintypetsAJ]

Yes daddy

[@DJCreepero]

mintypets AJ aaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhh *fades away*

[@wii3willRule]

why did all the really good shit come out in 2011-2013 and then just stopped?

[@strawberrycoughdrops7650]

I want to sink my teeth into a peach

[@purplepikau]

"Do I dare eat a peach?"

[@strawberrycoughdrops7650]

who is that quoting?

[@purplepikau]

Strawberry Cough Drops t.s. eliot's poem 'the lovesong of alfred prufrock'

[@strawberrycoughdrops7650]

"ain't that a peach?"

[@purplepikau]

Strawberry Cough Drops Now I've to ask what you're quoting lol

[@jumpoutatree]

Possibly the best song of the decade.

[@derekchapman2192]

Its all because of youuuu something that i gotta doooo 💎 🔥

[@maria-melek]

So this song came out in 2013?? Wow sounds like it came out in 2016, I was to busy somewhere else in 2013, busy listening to only alternative-indie music on the radio from the 90s-2013, watching the Weather Ch on cloudy sad autumn winter days, in 5th grade being 11, sad but not know now 6 yrs later still sad, ups and downs. Sighs 2013 one the nostalgic years for me that I would love to go back just to feel in that time, my room smelling like lavander peach blossom, lights on door closed, sad but listening to some great alternative & indie music, hopefully I would have done things different and rn perhaps I'd be happy, but sadly that's gone hopefully going back to therapy again after 3 yrs helps. But that is all I can truly remember from 2013, or I think it was 2014, I always confuse my memories from those 2 years.

[@jayg5060]

there needs to be more views good song 👍

[@louiscampos9606]

Cool song

[@saracastillo7489]

Now I can say that I TRIED to be cool for him. I'm gonna cry 😭

[@davids2096]

I will always dig this song I think everyone tries to be cool, but cool is a very difficult thing to define Try to wrap your mind around that, it's not ease Later and have a good one

[@staffygrrl]

This song inspires me to pick up my guitar again

[@davids2096]

Phoenix, make more songs like this I believe you know what I mean, not exactly like this, but with this magic and fun Keep on trucking and have a good one
