Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to Cooking Vinyl.
Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience.
Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year.

G Cub scouts are screaming C Needing ice creaming and D/BD Oh the pleasures of June
I'm in a parked car Flowers Seem friendly and People in hallways feel walls
Now It is night time Maybe were cruising avoiding The anti-cruise
G I don't really know C where D/BD we are
Am If thing get real CGD Promise to take me Somewhere else Am By the time C Fear takes me over GD Will we still be rolling G Feeling oblivion
GCD/BD GCD/BB
Once in a while now The Lionaid laugher can Burn through the hole in my ears
Like a man with glasses Catching a sunbeam and Burning the skin of a kid
Hyper little fragments Disturbing the fragments Of all might fear
While I just go into the water
Am If thing get real CGD Promise to take me somewhere else Am By the time C Fear takes me over GD Will we still be rolling? G Feeling oblivion
GCD/BD GCD/BB
So don't leave me Here on my own
So don't leave us Here on our own
Am If thing get real CGD Promise to take me somewhere else Am By the time C Fear takes me over GD Will we still be rolling? G Feeling oblivion
NB The lyrics are wrong in places but I can't tell what he is singing. Please send any corrections or suggestions. The chords after the chorus are wrong too but they fit. I have performed it many times but there are subtle differences in the album version.
