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 .  

Turin Brakes est un duo britannique de musique pop teintée d'accents folk originaire de Balham (Londres).  Les deux membres du groupes Olly Knights et Gale Paridjanian se connaissaient depuis l'école primaire lorsqu'ils ont commencé à chanter ensemble à l'âge de dix ans dans le choeur de la cathédrale locale. Bien qu'ils se soient d'abord séparés pour que Knights fréquente une école de cinéma et que Paridjanian tente de former un groupe à Toronto au Canada, ils se retrouvent très vite pour enregistrer leur premier EP, The Door, sorti en 1999, en édition limitée sur le label Anvil Records.

Turin Brakes ist ein modernes Folk-Pop-Duo; bestehend aus den zwei Freunden Olly Knights und Gale Paridjanian. Beide stammen aus Balham, London. Turin Brakes werden oft dem &quot;New Acoustic Movement&quot; zugeschrieben, vergleichbar mit anderen Bands wie Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (welche Turin Brakes auch auf deren Tour &quot;Ether Song&quot; unterstützten) und Kings of Convenience. Ihr erstes Album &quot;The Optimist LP&quot; erhielt sehr viel Anerkennung und wurde sogar für den Mercury Music Prize nominiert.  Diskografie 

Turin Brakes es una de las bandas más reprensentativas del NAM (New Acoustic Movement) que hace un par de años dejaba a la prensa inglesa embobada. Turin Brakes son melancólicos y eufóricos a partes iguales, nostálgicos y visionarios, grandes e intensos.

C#m    B       A                                    B
   Last clown drinking in a bar that's about to be closed down
C#m B      A                                    B                           
A hero I was in people's plans I was shaking their hands
C#m                B     A                        B                       
 I got lost in the world slow motion walking and diatribe talking
C#m          B            A               B
  As bad as things be, I?m a natural survivor 
          (Repeat same chords for next part of verse)


oooooh, i was a young man 
with the keys to the plans held within my hands
I knew everything
except the tick tick tock of the hour, glass hands
i got lost in the world
slow motion walking and diatribe talking
as bad as things be, i'm a natural survivor

Chorus:
          C     A               C         G
oooooh, last clown with your dreams so shallow
           C              A     E
You will learn, you can never return
          C                   A     C         G        
Though the grand scheme of things may seem rearranged
        C                A          E
People smile, but they never ever change

so if you see me
walking around in the streets of your town
don't feel for me
i've got more peace of mind than you ever shall find
i got lost in the world
slow motion walking and diatribe talking
as bad as things be, i'm a natural survivor

my boy, with your dreams so shallow
you will learn, you can never return
though the grand scheme of things
may seem rearranged
people smile, but they never ever change

What will they do, when the money runs dry?

Starring out at the stars, you feel helpless and so small
Nothing but closed down bars, no one helps you when you fall
One day this world will be returning to this prime
We'll all be gone, there'll be no more roads to find

When all is said and done I will love you
When all is said and done I'll still love you

Cleaning the dream and it always makes me cry......, oh my......

Something about the rain, it sends memories through my veins
Memories always stain, you can't wash them down the drain
Where will I go when my broken body dies?
And what will I know when I look up to the skies?

When all is said and done will you love me?
When all is said and done will you love me?

The rain came again, cleaning the dream

  With one foot on the road now where the Cyborgs are driving

 With the WD 40 (in their veins)

 The screeching little brakes complain

Bm                   A              G
 With my briefcase empty and a hole in my shoe
Bm              A                       G
 I try to stay friendly through the sugary abuse
Bm              A                G
 Tell my secretary now to hold all my calls

 A 37 thousand foot wanderlust
Bm                   A                   G
 With skyline number 9 kicked off in my mind

Fate leads me to much more.

Em
On the inside it hurts less,
Em
The outside seems so cold
Em
I need to climb, I gotta find some tenderness,
Em
Before I get too old,
Em
The sun comes from behind it hurts my eyes,
Em
It dries my hair so nice,
Em
I watch the boiling sea, meet the open sky,
Em
But my soul still feels like it dies.

In the morning,
When you wake up
Daytime fades up

And your make up runs,

Just hold on

It sounds tacky,
but I'm hopeful
There's a reason
                        Gbm       G
That the world turns round,
                Bm
Through silent sound

Set the dark on fire

I got lost
Inside a memory,
When I was young

And I almost drowned,

I was found

It sounds tacky
But I'm hopeful,
There's a reason

And my sirens sound.

Rewind the words in which you roam

Verse 1:

D         Am
I'm gonna get me a bone today

D         Am
Under the big blue sky

D         Am
Under the tree where my last love laid,

D                    Am
Now where beneath the leaves she lies

D         Am
I'm gonna dig a deep hole,

D         Am
  Crack open this bone,

D         Am
See where all the wonder went,

D         Am
See where now it's all gone



Chorus:

G               Bx      Bm
Look at the light, it's full of stars

Bx            G          Bx        Bm
What's really happening? Something wonderful

Bx          G
It's not as bad as I was told,

Bx      Bm
To lose all that was loved

Bx         G    
It's the demons who drag you down

Bx      Bm                Bx   (Am D x3)
But the angels pull you up...



Verse 2:

D             Am
Don't let the colors bring you down,

D                Am
They'll get much brighter one day

D            Am
You know all things must come around 

D      Am
if you leave them in their sway

D         Am
I'm gonna save it all in these photographs

  D      Am
Keep something here for me

D         Am
When I'm dead and gone I'll have the last laugh

 D           Am
At what's left here to see

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot
