Go down
Soft sound
Midnight
Car lights
Playing with the air
Breathing in your hair
Go down
Soft sound
Step into your skin?
I'd rather jump in your bones
Taking up your mouth, so you breathe through your nose

Well, I know it feels pointless and you don't have any money

The Birthday Party
Hello, there's a place that I've been going
There's a place I've been going
Now I'm clean it would seem
Let's go somewhere I'll be seen
As sad as it seems
I seen Greg and he was like
"Seen friends at the birthday party
They were kinda f*cked up before it even started
They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show
They didn't know about all the weird stuff
So they just left it" (so they just left it)
I was wasted (I was wasted)
And cold, minding my business
And I seen the girls and they were all like
"Do you wanna come and get f*cked up?"
Listen, I got myself a missus, says there can't be any kissing
"No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up, kid
It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it"
"This ain't going well", I thought I was stuck in Hell
In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel
'Bout her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well
Pulled away when I went in for the kiss
No, it wasn't a diss
You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss
After four years, don't you think I'm over all this?
"That's rich from a man who can't shit in a hotel room
He's gotta share for a bit"
You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby
To get things that they don't have
Does it go through ya when I'm talking to ya?
You know that I could sue you if we're married
And you f*ck up again
Impress myself with stealth and bad health
And my wealth and regressive causes
Then drink your kombucha and buy a Ed Ruscha
Surely, it's a print 'cause I'm not made of it
Look, the f*cking state of it
I came pretty late to it
We can still be mates 'cause it's only a picture
All your friends in one place
Oh, we're a scene, whatever that means
I depend on my friends to stay clean
As sad as it seems
As sad as it seems
As sad as it seems
As sad as it seems
There's a place I've been going
Now I'm clean it would seem
Let's go somewhere I'll be seen
As sad as it seems

Beautiful
Please don't cry, I love you
When you leave, I cry on the inside
I wake up, love you, so love you, love you, love you
Cry

We're supposed to leave by half-past eight
Will you wait for a bit?
This again
I've been dyin' to meet you
You fracture light again
I love you
Oh, love you
When you leave, I cry on the inside
I'm obsessed, I didn't say anything, so I do love you, love you, love you
Cry
Oh, I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
You're supposed to leave by half-past eight
But you stay part way
I've been drowning in you
You fracture light again
Beautiful

Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America
(One, two)
(One, two, three, four)
I'm in love with Jesus Christ
He's so nice
I'm in love, I'll say it twice
I'm in love (I'm in love)
I'm in love but I'm feeling low
For I am just a footprint in the snow
I'm in love with a boy I know
But that's a feeling I can never show
Fortunately I believe
Lucky me
I'm searching for planes in the sea
And that's irony
Soil just needs water to be
And the seed
So if we turn into a tree
Can I be the leaves?
I'm in love with the girl next door
Her name's Claire
Nice when she comes round to call
Then masturbate the second she's not there
Fortunately I believe
Lucky me
I'm searching for planes in the sea
And that's irony
Soil just needs water to be
And the seed
So if we turn into a tree
Can I be the leaves?
(One, two, three, four)
I'm in love with Jesus Christ

Roadkill
Well, I touch down run to my connection
A man in the gift shop called me a fag
I feel like my tucked-up erection
There's pressure all over my head
And I know that's how I get paid
But it's not really how I wanna get laid, so
Hundred forty when I last got weighed
And I'm gonna lose more by Saturday
And they're playing your song on the radio station
Muggin' me off all across the nation
If you don't eat, then you'll never grow
I should've learned that quite a while ago
I know it gets hard sometimes
Makin' out with people that you don't like
I know you don't feel alright
But you look just fine to me
Well, I pissed myself on a Texan intersection
With George spilling things all over his bag
And I took shit for being quiet during the election
Maybe that's fair, but I'm a busy guy
I get stoned and go where I'm gettin' paid
But it's not really how babies get made
So, I take a minute when I think I won't die from stopping
Oh, I'm just a busy guy
And they're playing your song on the radio station
Muggin' me off all across the nation
If you don't shoot, then you'll never know
You should've learned that quite a while ago
I know it gets hard sometimes
Takin' out your shit on the ones you like
You know, I didn't feel alright
Until you spoke to me
You
I've been waiting for you
My whole life waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
Well, I'm gonna get a condom, that's for her protection
And then maybe I'll get myself a fun night
A man in the gift shop called me a fag
I feel like my tucked-up erection
There's pressure all over my head
And I know that's how I get paid
But it's not really how I wanna get laid, so

Me and You Together Song
I can't remember when we met
Because she didn't have a top on (top on)
I improvised a little bit
She said my references were spot on (spot on)
"Can I take you for a drink?"
She said, "Oh God, I'll have to think
Because we're mates, it doesn't feel right" (feel right)
And I said, "It's cool" and, "I was messin'"
But it's true, yeah, it's you
You're the one that makes me feel right
I've been in love with her for ages
And I can't seem to get it right
I fell in love with her in stages
My whole life
I had a dream where we had kids
You would cook, I'd do the nappies (nappies)
We went to Winter Wonderland
And it was shit, but we were happy (happy)
I'm sorry that I'm kinda queer
It's not as weird as it appears
It's 'cause my body doesn't stop me (stop me)
Oh, it's okay
Lots of people think I'm gay
But we're friends, so it's cool
Why would it not be? (Not be)
I've been in love with her for ages
And I can't seem to get it right
I fell in love with her in stages
My whole life
And there's been no way for me to say
That I felt a certain way
In stages, oh
I think the story needs more pages, yes
I've been in love with her for ages
(For ages) and ages
I've been in love with her for ages
(For ages) and ages
I've been in love with her for ages
For ages and ages
I've been in love with her for ages
For ages and ages, yeah
I've been in love with you for ages
For ages and ages, yeah

For ages

I don't feel like myself, I'm not gonna lie (Lie)
How would you know? It doesn't show
I think there's something you should know (Know, know)
I think there's something you should know
I'm feeling like someone else, like somebody else
I don't feel myself, it could be my health
I'd like to meet myself and swap clothes
I think there's something you should know
(I think there's something...)
(I don't wanna be someone else)
(I don't wanna be someone else)

You get a moment when you feel alright
You get a moment when you feel alright
You get a moment when you feel alright
You get a moment when you feel alright
I feel so seen and I can't dream
Sleeping terrifies me, otherwise, I'm fine
See-saw back and forth, back on the door, back on the floor
Oh, please ignore me, I'm just feeling sorry for myself
Feeling like someone, like somebody else, who don't feel themselves
Paying for their wealth with their mental health
I'd like to meet myself and swap clothes
I think there's someplace I should go
I think there's something you should know
I think there's something you should know

Is there anybody out there?
Life feels like there's something missing
Maybe it's you
Is there anybody out there?
I never f*cked in a car, I was lyin'
I do it on my bed, lyin' down, not tryin'
Apathy for me is an issue, you see
I just talk about the things upsetting me
And I get somewhere, I don't like it
Get somewhere, change my mind, eh
Get somewhere but don't find it
I don't find what I'm looking for
Yes, and if they catch you slippin'
Trippin' over you flippin' and they're listenin'
And ribbin' over how they think you should be livin'
That's life, kind of, maybe take some time off
You can't live in denial, love, settin' it right
Because if nothing is revealed, everything denied
Learn up yourself before you talk it
They need to see you walk it
You don't f*ck with your poor fans
You meet the rich ones to expand your floor plans
You can't figure out a heart, you were lyin'
You're doin' in my head with your non-stop trying
Never gettin' sleep and forgettin' to eat
I pretend that all these things agree with me
And I get somewhere but don't like it
Get somewhere, change my mind, eh
Get somewhere but don't find it
I don't find what I'm looking for
Life feels like a lie
I need something to be true
Is there anybody out there?
Life feels like there's something missing
Maybe it's you
Is there anybody out there? (Anybody out there)
Life feels like a lie
I need something to be true
Is there anybody out there?
Life feels like there's something missing
Maybe it's you
Is there anybody out there? Out there
I need something to be true
Is there anybody out there?
Life feels like there's something missing
Maybe it's you
Is there anybody out there?
I never f*cked in a car, I was lyin'
I do it on my bed, lyin' down, not tryin'

Tonight (I Wish I Was Your Boy)
I tell you I can visualize it all
Too real it all seems
But once again
Runnin' away with me
But once again
Runnin' away with me
This couldn't be a dream
Runnin' away with me
Runnin' away with me
And I stop myself for a minute
See if my heart's still in it
Say a few things just to win it
Funny how it works out, innit?
And I told her, "Some things have their time
How can I be yours if you're not mine?"
She said, "They should take this pain
And give it a name"
Tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me) I
(Run away from me, run away from me)
Tonight (tonight), I think I f*cked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Run away from me, run away from me)
Give yourself a new name
Change your voice on the train
Have a complain about your fame
Tell me that it's all a rigged game
And she told me, "Some things just take time
How can you be sure if you won't try?"
She said, "I guess I'll take this pain
Instead of your name"
Tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me) I
(Run away from me, run away from me)
Tonight (tonight), I think I f*cked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Run away from me, run away from me)
And it's been playing on my mind
Unfortunately, I've been to this place in my life
Far too many times
Sunday's nearly over so I'll just lie awake
Tonight, I wish I was your boy
I
Tonight, I think I f*cked it royally
And tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me) I
(Run away from me, run away from me)
Tonight (tonight), I think I f*cked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Run away from me, run away from me)
Too real it all seems
But once again
Runnin' away with me
But once again
Runnin' away with me
This couldn't be a dream
Runnin' away with me
Runnin' away with me
And I stop myself for a minute
See if my heart's still in it
Say a few things just to win it
Funny how it works out, innit?
And I told her, "Some things have their time
How can I be yours if you're not mine?"
She said, "They should take this pain

Tonight, I wish I was your boy

(Run away from me, run away from me)
Tonight (tonight), I think I f*cked it royally

Give yourself a new name
Change your voice on the train

And she told me, "Some things just take time

If Youre Too Shy (Let Me Know)
I see her online all the time
I'm trying not to stare down there
While she talks about her tough time
Girl of your dreams, you know what I mean
There's something 'bout her stare that makes you nervous
And you say things that you don't mean
Well, I found my hotel
I called up the twins
It's seven in the morning so they won't let me in
I need to get back
I've gotta see the girl on the screen
(And then I phoned her and she said)
"Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I'm not playing with you, baby
I think that you should give it a go"
She said, "Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I wanna see, and stop thinking
If you're too shy, then let me
Too shy, then let me know"
I've been wearing nothing every time I call you
And I'm starting to feel weird about it
Sometimes it's better if you think about it
This time, I think I'm gonna drink through it
But I see her online
And don't think that I should be calling all the time
I just wanted a happy ending
And I'm pretending I don't care 'bout her stare
While she's giving me a tough time
Well, I found a motel
It looked like the bins
I think there'd been a murder so we couldn't get in
I need to get back
I've gotta see the girl on the screen
Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I'm not playing with you, baby
I think that you should give it a go
She said, "Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I wanna see, and stop thinking
If you're too shy, then let me
Too shy, then let me know (too shy, then let me know)
Well, if you're too shy, then let me me know (too shy, then let me know)
If you're too shy then let me go"
Oh, yeah
I see her online all the time
She said, "Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I'm not playing with you, baby
I think that you should give it a go"
She said, "Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes

Playing on My Mind
Will I live and die in a band?
My consciousness controls my hand
She can't swim very well (oh, you wouldn't be able to tell)
Let's find something to watch then watch our phones for half the time
When we go for food, you have yours and I'll have mine
It says, "Don't take these pills if you've been drinking any wine"
Oh, these things, they have been playing on my mind
These things, they have been playing on my mind
I think I've seen the side of every road
They all lead somewhere, I've been told
Will I get divorced when I'm old? (Oh, why am I always cold?)
And I met one of your friends and it was dead nice, he was fine
But he said things that interest me exist outside of space and time
Now, I know I should've left it, but who says that? What a sigh
It all kicked off and it's been playing on my mind
The whole thing has been playing on my mind
I think it's strange that I still call you
When I've got nothing to say
The truth is that I still adore you
And nothing really matters anyway
And I won't get clothes online 'cause I get worried 'bout the fit
That rule don't apply concerning my relationships
See, I keep getting this stuff wrong, take me out, put me on
Oh, these things, they have been playing on my mind
The whole thing has been playing on my mind
Oh, it's all been just playing on my mind
My consciousness controls my hand
She can't swim very well (oh, you wouldn't be able to tell)
Let's find something to watch then watch our phones for half the time
When we go for food, you have yours and I'll have mine
It says, "Don't take these pills if you've been drinking any wine"
Oh, these things, they have been playing on my mind

Bagsy Not in Net
This feeling, it started when you called me
I'm dealing, and then I'm really lonely
Trying, don't like it
And leaving it here is the pain that I feel, so violent
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
I'm reeling, and I know that I'm appalling
But this feeling, it could be our calling
Not dying, just lying
And seeing you is the moment it's clear 'cause it's quiet
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
I'm dealing, and then I'm really lonely
Trying, don't like it
And leaving it here is the pain that I feel, so violent
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
I'm reeling, and I know that I'm appalling
But this feeling, it could be our calling
Not dying, just lying
And seeing you is the moment it's clear 'cause it's quiet
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?
Do you wanna leave at the same time?

Dont Worry
When you're in love but you don't know what to do with it
When blackness hangs overhead like a cloud
Don't worry, darlin'
'Cause I'm here with you
Don't worry, darlin'
The sun will shine through
When you wake up and you don't know what day it is
When the pain flows through your heart and your bones
Don't worry, darlin'
'Cause I'm here with you
Don't worry, darlin'
The sun will shine through
When you feel no one knows just what you're goin' through
When your insides feel much colder than snow
Don't worry, darlin'
'Cause I'm here with you
Don't worry, darlin'
Oh, don't worry, darlin'
Don't worry, darlin'
I'll always love you
You
When blackness hangs overhead like a cloud
Don't worry, darlin'
'Cause I'm here with you
Don't worry, darlin'
The sun will shine through
When you wake up and you don't know what day it is
When the pain flows through your heart and your bones
Don't worry, darlin'
'Cause I'm here with you
Don't worry, darlin'
The sun will shine through
When you feel no one knows just what you're goin' through
When your insides feel much colder than snow
Don't worry, darlin'

Oh, don't worry, darlin'

I'll always love you
You

Guys
I was missing the guys
In my rented apartment
You would think I'd have realized
But I didn't for quite some time
Started wetting my eyes
Cause I'm soft in that department
Right then I realized
You're the love of my life
The moment that you took my hand
Was the best thing
That ever happened
The moment that we started a band
Was the best thing
That ever happened
And I wish that we could do it again
It was the best thing
That ever happened to me
It was the best thing
That ever happened to me
It was the best
That ever happened
I took a zoot outside
In my coats secret compartment
I hear a song and start to cry
Pretend it's smoke that's in my eye
I don't know why I'm surprised
Cause we all shared one apartment
Man, they were the golden times
They were the best of my life
The moment that you took my hand
Was the best thing
That ever happened
The moment that we started a band
Was the best thing
That ever happened
The first time we went to Japan
Was the best thing
That ever happened
And I wish that we could do it again
You guys are the best thing
That ever happened to me
You guys are the best thing
That ever happened to me
You guys are the best thing
That ever happened
In my rented apartment
You would think I'd have realized
But I didn't for quite some time
Started wetting my eyes
Cause I'm soft in that department
Right then I realized
You're the love of my life
The moment that you took my hand

I Think There is Something You Should Know
I think there's something you should know
I don't feel like myself, I'm not gonna lie
How would you know? It doesn't show
I think there's something you should know
I think there's something you should know
I'm feeling like someone, like somebody else
I don't feel myself, it could be my health
I'd like to meet myself and swap clothes
I think there's something you should know
(I think there's something)
(I don't wanna be someone)
(I don't wanna be someone else)
(I don't wanna be someone)
(I don't wanna be someone else)
You get a moment when you feel alright
That moment when you feel alright
Get the phone when you feel alright
Get movin' when you feel alright
I feel so seen and I can't dream
Sleeping terrifies me, otherwise, I'm fine
See-saw back and forth, back on the door, back on the floor
Oh, please ignore me, I'm just feeling sorry for myself
Feeling like someone, like somebody else
Who don't feel himself
Paying for their wealth with their mental health
I'd like to meet myself and swap clothes
I think there's someplace I should go
I think there's something you should know
I think there's something you should know
I think there's something you should know
I don't feel like myself, I'm not gonna lie
How would you know? It doesn't show
I think there's something you should know
I think there's something you should know
I'm feeling like someone, like somebody else
I don't feel myself, it could be my health
I'd like to meet myself and swap clothes
I think there's something you should know

Initially titled Music for Cars, the album was intended as the follow-up to I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It (2016).
It later came to denote an era spanning two albums. The first, A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships, was released in November 2018. The band recorded much of the second album in London, Los Angeles, Sydney, Northamptonshire and in a mobile studio on their tour bus. The album faced several delays and was submitted only weeks before the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
A maximalist experimental album, Notes on a Conditional Form has a free-flowing structure composed of conventional songs, classical orchestral interludes and ambient electronic instrumentals. The album contains loose song structures characterised by their stream of consciousness deliveries, neo-noir ambience, downcast string arrangements, melancholic orchestral flourishes and sudden contrasts. Guest contributors to the album include Phoebe Bridgers, FKA Twigs, Cutty Ranks, climate change activist Greta Thunberg, and Matty Healy's father, Tim.
Notes on a Conditional Form incorporates numerous genres, combining house, UK garage and various electronic music subgenres with guitar-based acoustic folk, emo, country and multiple rock music subgenres. Thematically, the album focuses on the intricacies of human existence and uses introspection, retrospection, self-reflection and straightforward storytelling. It explores themes of isolation, uncertainty and anxiety, inspired by Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold and Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. The album's lyrics provide a deconstruction of Healy's extroverted persona, with several reviewers regarding it as the 1975's most personal record.
Prior to the album's debut, the band released "The 1975" and the singles "People", "Frail State of Mind", "Me & You Together Song", "The Birthday Party", "Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America", "If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)" and "Guys". A North American leg of the band's Music for Cars Tour, planned in support of the album, was cancelled several months prior to the record's debut. An online art exhibition entitled Artists Respond to NOACF, featuring music videos created by various artists, was released in its place. The album debuted atop the UK Albums Chart and reached number one in Australia and Scotland. Elsewhere, it peaked within the top five in Ireland, New Zealand and the United States, and the top 20 in Canada and Japan.
The album polarised contemporary music critics; some lauded it as the band's magnum opus, while others derided it as confusing, chaotic and directionless. Despite this, the album appeared on numerous year-end lists and was hailed as the best release of 2020 by The Music.
