She’s American (Live From The O2, London. 16.12.16)The 1975

Released: December 15, 2017

Songwriter: Ross MacDonald Adam Hann George Daniel Matthew Healy

Producer: Matthew Healy George Daniel Mike Crossey

[Spoken: Matthew Healy]
Fuck politics. Let's do some dancing

[Verse 1]
Big town
Synthetic apparitions of not being lonely
"Look! He's having a breakdown
Oh, what a let down, a shame, I think he might die!"
And now she's dancing, enthralling, I guess I gotta wait my turn (Oh yeah)
I said, "Don't fall in love with the moment"
She said I've got a lot to learn

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know I'm in love with this city
But the green is turning brown
And I just look pathetic now

[Chorus]
And if she likes it cause we just don't eat
And we're so intelligent, she's American
If she says I've got to fix my teeth
Then she's so American (she's American)
And if she likes it cause we just don't eat
And we're socially relevant, she's American
If she says I've got to fix my teeth
Then she's so American (she's American)

[Verse 2]
She's inducing sleep to avoid pain
And I think she's got a gun, divinely decreed and custom made
She calls on the phone like the old days, expecting the world

[Spoken: Matthew Healy]
Let me hear you

And don't fall in love with the moment
And think you're in love with the girl

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no more water in this city
But be careful or you'll drown
You think you've got it figured out

[Chorus]
And if she likes it cause we just don't eat
And we're so intelligent, she's American
If she says I've got to fix my teeth
Then she's so American, she's American
And if she likes it cause we just don't eat
And we're socially relevant, she's American
If she says I've got to fix my teeth
Then she's so American (she's American)

[Spoken: Matthew Healy]
Let's go!

[Bridge]
Oh, well, your face has got a hold on me
But your brain is proper weird
Are you feeling the same?
You just keep nodding at me, looking vacant

[Chorus]
And if she likes it cause we just don't eat, yeah
And we're so intelligent, she's American
If she says I've got to fix my teeth
Then she's so American (she's American)
And if she likes it cause we just don't eat
And we're socially relevant, she's American
And if she says I've got to fix my teeth
Then she's so American (she's American)

The 1975

The 1975 consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (lead guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass), all of whom are from Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. The four band members, now based in Manchester, met in Secondary School and began playing together as teenagers.

The eclectic four-piece band have amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B, and 80’s gloss pop, as well as lead singer Matthew “Matty” Healy’s stories of lust, intoxication, and the unabashed grittiness of modern youth. Common themes in their lyrics range anywhere from dysfunctional relationships, to the failure of modernity.

Throughout 2012, The 1975 released multiple EPs, which sparked the start of their careers. The following year, 2013, their self-titled debut album took the world by storm. From 2014 until 2015 the band’s focus was on touring, though they did reveal through photos on social media that their next sound would reflect a departure from their previously black-and-white aesthetic.
