LYRICS
Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end Always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough You didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done And I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough You didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know

*********************************** When you're feeling down I'm comin' round To pick you up And take you out
It won't be long 'Till those blues are gone The city's waiting Beckoning for us It leads us on Let it lead us on
It's the perfect night To just drive on by Let the dashboard underscore Everything we've seen While the world plays for our pleasure On our windshield silver screen And I don't know just where we're going And I don't care where we've been But we just coast on through Coz while I'm here with you, you know There's no place I'd rather be No place I'd rather be
Such a quiet joy Knowing that I'm your pick-up fix And you're my favourite boy
You're feeling tired And I'm bleary-eyed And the highway lines Pass by in two/four double-time And we don't even recognise A single name on the street signs Nothing else is calling us But all we've left behind Is like a hell-hound on our trail and a burden on our mind Coz we know... ...we gotta go home.
Such a quiet joy Driving anywhere Knowing that you are there. But you don't call, You don't call me no more And i waited all day You know you'll always Be my favourite boyGotye - A Distinctive Sound - official audiogotyemusic2013-09-04 | From the album "Like Drawing Blood" (Australian version only).

Calm down now babyThe end of the journey's in sight You've travelled so far love Now all of the stars are aligned
All the things you thought you came here for Everything you thought you knew for sure No meandering, no more wondering Everything is true
All the things you thought you had to say Everyone you left along the way So you gather how nothing matters now That your time is through

LYRICS
You're a fraud and you know it But it's too good to throw it all away Anyone would do the same You've got 'em going And you're careful not to show it Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit It's like magic But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game Anyone would do the same
So now that you've arrived well you wonder What is it that you've done to make the grade And should you do the same? (Is that too easy?) Are you only trying to please them Will they see then- You're desperate to deliver Anything that could give you A sense of reassurance When you look in the mirror
Such highs and lows You put on quite a show All these highs and lows And you're never really sure What you do it for Well do you even want to know? You put on quite a show
Mother Are you watching?
You're a fraud and you know it And every night and day you take the stage And it always entertains You're giving pleasure And that's admirable you tell yourself And so you'd gladly sell yourself To others Mother Are you watching?

LYRICS
Giving Me A Chance lyrics You know I never want to let you down It cuts me up to see you sad And I wish that I could undo what I've done Give back the faith in me you had
You know I love you more than anyone But I get a little wrapped up in myself But you know I never want to do you wrong Bring into question what we have
Reluctant as I am to add to the mountain of interpretations of Somebody That I Used To Know seemingly taking over their own area of the internet, I couldn't resist the massive remixability that such a large, varied yet connected bundle of source material offered.
Thankyou to everyone who has responded to Somebody That I Used To Know via YouTube. It's truly amazing!
All audio and video in Somebodies is from the YouTube user videos featured, each of them a cover or parody of Somebody That I Used To Know. No extra sounds were added to the mix, but I used some EQ, filtering, pitch-shifting and time-stretching to make the music.
I avoided using any existing remixes of the song, or any covers from tv talent shows. As comprehensive and extensive as I tried to be with my downloading of source videos, I know there are many clips that I missed. Tay Zonday's cover for instance, no internet mashup should be without him.
I used KeepVid.com to download the YouTube videos, Ableton Live for audio stretching, pitch-shifting and the initial video editing, and Adobe's After Effects to put the final video together.
Big thanks to Travis Banko for assistance with downloading source videos, and to James Bryans for After Effects tutelage.
Thankyou to Barry for being Barry, and guiding us all.
Thanks to you for listening

LYRICS
In the mornings I was anxious It was better just to stay in bed Didn't want to fail myself again
Running through all the options And the endings Were rolling out in front of me But I couldn't choose a thread to begin
And I could not love 'Cause I could not love myself Never good enough, no That was all I'd tell myself And I was not well But I could not help myself I was giving up on living
In the morning You were leaving Traveling south again And you said you were not unprepared
And all the dead ends And disappointments Were fading from your memory Ready for that lonely life to end
And you gave me love When I could not love myself And you made me turn From the way I saw myself And you're patient, love And you help me help myself And you save me, You save me, You save me ******************************************************Gotye - Easy Way Out (Official Music Video)gotyemusic2012-02-25 | The official music video for “Easy Way Out” by Gotye.

But some feelings have a habit of persisting even though you wouldn't let it show
Wearing me out (All this) Hanging around (It just starts) Getting me down ('till I'm just) Looking for an easy way out
Braindead from boredom I'm led to distraction Scratching the surface of life Nothing really happens But it's easy to keep busy When you tell yourself you're traveling right

LYRICS
When the Cotillion arrived We threw out the television Model D 575 Has custom flute presets And Harmony-Plus in addition
Now for an arm and a leg We get three half-dozen beats to choose from So now we can pretend That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom
I put the Genie Bass on So my left hand can play the choir With 16ft Diapason And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer
Banjo's great on repeat The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient The wife can't help tapping her feet It's a genuine home entertainment revelation
State of the art (Hold the phone, it's so) State of the art [Listen to the difference!] (Oh my god, it's so) State of the art [By use of a computer] State of the art
Now we don't want to go out When we could spend the night at home with the Cotillion Invite the neighbours around Start the bossanova beat and limbo from the living to the kitchen
Enjoy the state of the art The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding Now we can't tell them apart But these amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing
State of the art (Hold the phone, it's so) [Computer controlled tone colour] State of the art [The marriage of music to computers is quite natural] (Oh my god, it's so) State of the art [It is time to hear the results]Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (feat.

****************************
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know

******************************************** In the mornings I was anxious Better just to stay in bed Didn't want to fail myself again
Running through all the options And the endings Were rolling out in front of me But I couldn't choose a thread to begin
And I could not love Cause I could not love myself Never good enough, no That was all I'd tell myself And I was not well But I could not help myself I was giving...up on living
In the morning You were leaving Travelling south again And you said you were not unprepared
And all the dead ends And disappointments Were fading from your memory Ready for that lonely life to end
And you gave me love When I could not love myself And you made me turn From the way I saw myself And you're patient, love And you help me help myself And you save me, You save me, You save meGotye - Making Mirrors - official audiogotyemusic2011-08-05 | From the album Making Mirrors

La la, hey hey La la, hey hey
And it can settle the sadness And the voices in my head When I'm in the glow of the warmth you throw I can put all that to bed
In your light, just when I'm in your light And I won't get by if you take that light away
When you're smiling on me That is all I need To put behind me all my worries and life's complexities
It may be only a moment But the world just falls away And I forget myself And everything else That depressed me yesterday And I can sing
La la, hey hey La la, hey hey
When I'm in your light All of this is clear If only I could always be just as I am right here In your light, just when I'm in your light And I won't get by if you take that light away
When I'm in your light Nothing brings me down If only I could always feel just as I do right now In your light just when I'm in your light And I won't get by if you take that light away When I'm in your light All of this is clear If only I could always be just as I am right here In your light, just when I'm in your light And I won't get by if you take that light awayGotye - I Feel Better (Official Audio)gotyemusic2011-08-05 | Official audio for “I Feel Better” by Gotye.

LYRICS
There was a time I was down, down I didn't know what to do I was just stumbling around, around Thinking things could not improve
I couldn't look on the bright side Of anything at all That's when you gave me a call...
And I feel better Better Better than before Now I'm not down anymore
There were times I was sure, so sure I couldn't turn it around I couldn't care anymore About the good things I found
That's when you gave me a reason To make me smile again I only have to see you and then
I feel better Better Better than before Now I'm not down anymore
Life sometimes seems to get the best of you Like everything just brings you down Just when you think There's nothing you can do A friendly face will bring you around
And you'll feel better Better Better than before You'll feel better Much better You won't be down anymoreGotye - Giving Me A Chance - official audiogotyemusic2011-08-05 | From the album Making Mirrors

You know I love you more than anyone But I get a little wrapped up in myself But you know I never want to do you wrong Bring into question what we have
I know I let you down I know I let you down But you're giving me a chanceGotye - Easy Way Out - official audiogotyemusic2011-08-04 | From the album Making Mirrors

******************************************* Seventeen seconds and I'm over it Ready for the disconnect Putting on a brave face Trying not to listen to the voices in the back of my head
(But it's alright now) It's a distant memory baby (It's alright now) You know you should just let it go
But some feelings have a habit of persisting even though you wouldn't let it show
Wearing me out (All this) Hanging around (It just starts) Getting me down ('till I'm just) Looking for an easy way out
Braindead from boredom I'm led to distraction Scratching the surface of life Nothing really happens But it's easy to keep busy When you tell yourself you're traveling right
(But it's alright now) Was it really worth it baby? (It's alright now) Was it just a waste of time?
Keep on second-guessing Use my memory like a weapon On everything I try
Wearing me out (All this) Hanging around (It just starts) Getting me down ('till I'm just) Looking for an easy way outGotye - Dont Worry, Well Be Watching You - official audiogotyemusic2011-08-04 | From the album Making Mirrors

LYRICS
So this is the end of the story Everything we had, everything we did Is buried in dust And this dust is all that's left of us
But only a few ever worried Though the signs were clear, they had no idea You just get used to living in fear Or give up When you can't even picture your future
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open...
Some people offered up answers We made out like we heard, but they were only words They didn't add up To a change in the way we were living
And the saddest thing- Is all of it could have been avoided But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human And why would I make a change if you won't We're all in the same boat, staying afloat For the moment
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we.. Walk the plank with our eyes wide open
With our eyes wide open we... Walk the plank, we walk the plank
And that was the end of the storyGotye - Thanks For Your Time (Official Music Video)gotyemusic2008-03-05 | The official music video for “Thanks For Your Time” by Gotye. From the album Like Drawing Blood. Get the album here: gotye.lnk.to/LikeDrawingBlood
