Sprints - Free Saturday (“FL&R”)

     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Our plan is to post at least one Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R) song each Saturday.


     The Sprints are a Post Punk band from Dublin, Ireland. The members are Karla Chubb (vocals, guitar), Colm O’Reilly (guitar, vocals), Sam McCann (bass, vocals), and Jack Callan (drums). They describe their sound as “combining guitar-driven hooks, motoric rhythm and emotive lyricism, the unique rock sound combines elements from grunge, garage, punk and beyond.”

     “The Cheek” is about tempting-but-“wrong” sexual opportunities in a bar.


Lyrics of “The Cheek” by Sprints
He's got too many, too many
Too many, women on the go
He said do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna, do you wanna go home?

He said baby are you straight?
He said baby are you straight?
I said bi, bye, bye

He said baby are you straight?
He said baby are you straight?
I said bi, bye, bye

Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
At least he tries

Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
Oh, god he tries

He's got bad news, bad news,
Bad news, pouring from his skin
And I said maybe I wanna, maybe I wanna
Maybe I wanna, maybe I wanna go sin

He's got an unshakeable confidence and I'll give him that
And a body like a statue sculpted by an aristocrat
I nearly gave him the chance when he gave me the eye but I
Fought the futile feelings, went to smoke outside

Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
At least he tries

Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
Oh, god he tries

And I know that it's bad, and I know that he's bad
And I know that it's bad, and I know that he's bad
And I know that it's bad, and I know that he's bad
And I know that it's bad
But don't you wanna be bad?

Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
At least he tries

Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
Oh, the cheek
Oh, god he tries
