Samuel’s Musicians Of The Week: Faker

It pains me to do this, it really does, but this week I find myself giving the Musicians Of The Week award to the aptly named group Faker who, for all intents and purposes, manage to fake singing really badly…it could hardly be worse. However, it’s not their musical ability (or lack thereof) that I’m interested in this week, rather it’s the lyrics of the feature song “This Heart Attack” which seem apt to cover the last few weeks.

Enjoy, or don’t…probably the latter, until it grows on you anyway.

Incidentally, a big hello to the folks at EMI Music who have disabled embedding of this on YouTube and forced me to find an alternative version. Thanks guys, you’re all so very helpful.

Faker – This Heart Attack

I’m going away to be alone
I’m coming back with answers
Aah aah, aah ahh
Don’t try to call my telephone
It’s disconnected
Aah aah, aah ahh
And I don’t know where I’m going
But can you guide me?
Aah aah, aah ahh
If I find love where I’m going
Will it survive me?
Aah aah, aah ahh
‘Cause in your own space you’re disconnected
And in your own mind you’re not affected
And in your own time you’re still attracted
But in your own li-i-ife…

This heart attack
I’ve gotta get away not coming back
I want some downti-ime
so call me when you can and I’ll be fine

I’ve found the time to be alone
I don’t know what you’re asking
Aah aah, aah ahh
I’m waiting by the telephone
And you’re still barking
Aah aah, aah ahh
My heart stops it isn’t… going
Could you revive me?
Aah aah, aah ahh
I think I’m lost without knowing
So come and find me
Aah aah, aah ahh

‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected
And in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted
And in your own ti-ime

This heart attack
I think I’ll go away not coming back
I’m off the li-i-ine
so call me when you can some other time
This heart attack
I’ve gotta get away not coming back
I want some downti-ime
so call me when you can and I’ll be fine

Sometimes if we don’t go (we don’t go, we don’t go)
sometimes you don’t know (you don’t know, you don’t know)
You don’t go I don’t go (I don’t go, I don’t go)
I don’t go you don’t go
Go go go go

I’ve got your back
but you don’t got mine
This heart attack
then I’m feeling fine

This heart attack
I’ve gotta get away I’m not coming back
I’m ’bout to flatli-ine
So call me when you can some other time
This heart attack
I’ve gotta get away not coming back
I want some downti-ime
So call me when and I’ll be fine

I’m going away to be alone
I’m going away to be alone
Going away to be alone
I’m going away to be alone
