Turin Brakes

Optimist

by Turin Brakes
Turin Brakes

Biography:

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.

B F#/E
Sitting here, staring out the window
E G B
Traffic always makes me feel like I'm coming home
B F#/E
Cold blood bleeding still at least I'm breathing
E G B
Patiently waiting clinging on to my mobile phone


G B
Cracked skull with a creepy mind inside
G B
I'm planning the greatest of escapes, you know
G B
Patiently waiting in the line
G
Soon I'm gonna stand up
A
Yeah, I'm gonna rear up and


B F#/E E G B
There's no escape. Lonely pla-net
B F#/E E G B
Oh, it's too late. Lonely pla-net


B F#/E
So la la la, la la la la la la
E G B
La la la la la la la la la la la
B F#/E
Cold blood bleeding, still at least I'm breathing
E G B
Patiently waiting soon I'm gonna take control


G B
Cracked skull with a creepy mind inside
G B
I'm planning the greatest of escapes
G B
Patiently waiting in the line
G
Soon I'm gonna stand up
A
Yeah, I'm gonna rear up and


B F#/E E G B
There's no escape. Lonely pla-net
B F#/E E G B
Oh, it's too late. Lonely pla-net
