Razorlightis a British/Swedish band formed in the summer of 2002 around singer/writer Johnny Borrell. Razorlight is a four-piece consisting of Borrell (vocals & guitar), Björn Ågren (guitar), Carl Dalemo (bass) and Andy Burrows (drums) Their sound is similar to The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, and Kings of Leon, but perhaps with some slight post-punk tones à la The Hives. Their debut album, Up All Night, was released on June 28, 2004, reaching number 3 in the UK album charts on 4 July. The critical reception was generally good, receiving good reviews from NME, Q magazine and Billboard, although they were also accused of lack of imagination and unoriginality for allegedly borrowing ideas from other influential bands, notably The Strokes. They appear to polarize opinion.

Somewhere Else Lyrics

Razorlight

You're an emotional wreck,
You don't know who you are,
You never say what you mean.
You keep your mouth shut,
And your light stays still,
And then you come and call on me.
You say
I just can't help myself,
I really really wish I could be,
Somewhere Else,
Than here.
I met a girl,
She asked me my name,
I told her what it was.
She looked at me,
I tried to explain,
Exactly what I lost.
But now
I just can't help myself,
I really really wish I could be,
Somewhere else,
Than here.
You give me everything I need,
But I really really wish I could be,
Somewhere else,
Than here.
Just anywhere else,
Just anywhere else than here!
And I won't forget,
And I won't forget,
And I won't forget.
And when I saw you there,
It was the first time,
And you just walked on by,
I was catching the sparks,
That flew from your heels,
Trying to catch your eye.
But that was somewhere else,
Somewhere else,
Somewhere else.
I really really wish I could be,
Somewhere else,
Somewhere else,
Somewhere else,
I really really wish I could be.
And now I just can't help myself,
I really really wish I could be,
Somewhere else,
Than here.
And now I just can't help myself,
I really really wish I could be,
I got everything I need,
I really really wish I could be,
Somewhere else,
Somewhere else,
Somewhere else,
I really really wish I could be...
