My Number Lyrics

[Verse 3]
And I don't need your counsel
And I don't need these city streets
And I don't need that good advice
'Cause we can move beyond it now


[Chorus]
You don't have my number
We don't need each other now
The creed or the culture
You don't have my lover's touch

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel, well, I feel alive
I feel the streets are not far from here

[Bridge]
Can you even hear me?
Do you even know my name?
Can you see the ocean there?
You don't have my lover's touch
You don't have my number
You don't have my number
I wonder, can you hear me?
And are you even listening now?
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't have my number
And we don't need each other now
And you can't steal my thunder
'Cause you don't have my lover's touch
You don't have my number
And I don't need no one now
And I don't need these city streets
The creed or the culture now

[Outro]
Now
Now

Genius Annotation

Though charmingly reverent of Bono-associated ‘80s pop-rock acts like Men at Work or Big Country, it still sounds like Foals, no mean feat considering how many bands have come along in the past couple of years that sound like them– it’s an athletic funk-rock sprint of interlocking, clean guitars, Yannis Philappakis’ strident melodies and a rhythm section that knows better than to disturb this groove with their typical turn-on-a-dime trickery.

It’s also Foals speaking the language of pure pop: cooing oohs, placing the hook right at the beginning and cycling back to it as often as possible with an instantly catchy lyrical refrain that maintains the dejected emotional core of My Number amidst the joyous release that surrounds it. Unforgettable fire, if you will.
