In Her PrimeThe Strokes

Songwriter: Julian Casablancas

Producer: The Strokes

[Verse 1]
Well I lived this life, I was just seventeen
And this house was built on mama's broken dreams
I put it all aside
When she looked me in the eye
Oh...

[Verse 2]
And arrest these teachers for what they have read
And give all your money to the living dead
Like a call girl in her prime
Arriving just in time
Oh....

[Chorus]
I am a sentimental man
I try to reach to God with just one hand
Rejecting offers to be with you
Oh, he does it too
Get you by your side
A new way to wave goodbye
And I'm waiting...
My lady!

[Verse 3]
And I'm redefining what they could not percieve
Upon their big arrival and they cheat on three
And he took them to his side
And no they could not wait to hide

[Chorus]
I am a sentimental man
I try to reach to God with just one hand
Rejecting offers to be with you
Oh, he does it too
Keep you by your side
A new way to say goodbye
And I'm waiting...
My lady!

[Verse 4]
And I lived this life, I was just seventeen
And this house was built on mama's broken dreams
I put it all aside
And she looked me in the eye
Was I gone for too long?
Did I say something wrong, girl?
Will I?

The Strokes

The Strokes burst onto the scene at a time when rock fans were desperate for an alternative to the rap-rock that was dominating the airwaves. That the band lived up to expectations after being hailed ‘saviors of guitar rock’ solely based on the strength of a three song EP is a testament to the quality of their flawless debut, July 2001’s Is This It.

Ultimately, they are a band that truly relies on the strength of the entire lead singer Julian Casablancas, lead guitarist Nick Valensi, drummer Fabrizio Moretti, guitarist Albert Hammond Jr., and bassist Nikolai Fraiture. However, much of The Strokes' output has been influenced by the domineering vision of Casablancas' songwriting.

Before he took a small step back on their third album, January 2006’s First Impressions of Earth, and then isolated himself to record March 2011’s Angles, Casablancas was involved in almost every step of The Strokes' recording process. He wrote all of the lyrics and the music on their first two albums and was constantly involved in the mixing of the records.
