…the chorus reminds me of bits in Come On Eileen.

Lyric love:

I don’t have friends at Pitchfork or NME
no sexy heroin addiction plaguing me
but I can still get down like
Frank Poncherello on a motor bike

4th song I’ve heard from this girl, 4th time I’ve uploaded said song to A Song A Day.
—————————————————————————————————

milkteef talked to Balistiq about how this track came togeter

We were in the studio at around 3am on a Sunday with no agenda, talking music, watching videos etc. Delilah started singing Chaka Khan’s “Aint Nobody”, we started building the beat around it…15 minutes later we recorded the demo with no mic straight into the laptop. When people started hearing it in the days after, it was clear that we had to get in and make it a record!
Working with Delilah is fun and interesting, we have a great vibe together. Delilah is a genius in the booth and what we do on the other side of the glass seems to work out really well every time. Her album is crazy.

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)


…you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

I love The Police influence, especially in the chorus.

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
No 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
No 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

Somebody…
