"Oh, baby, I feel so down.
Oh it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I walked out:
"Little girl, I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door"
Well, I've been in town for just now fifteen minutes now
And baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walkin' for miles
And people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your Grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this, I ain't ever gonna understand...
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, don't feel so down.
Oh, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I, I turned around:
"Oh, baby, gonna be alright"
It was a great big lie
'Cause I left that night, yeah
Oh it's alright, baby
Yeah!
And people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
In spaceships, they won't understand
And on top of this ain't ever gonna understand
Last night, she said:
"Oh, baby, don't feel so down.
Oh, it turns me off,
When I feel left out"
So I turned around:
"Little girl, I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door"
Last Nite (EP Version)
The Strokes' "Last Nite" serves as a high-energy staple from their debut album, Is This It, released in 2001. The EP version of the track maintains the band's signature garage-rock sound, characterized by the interplay between Julian Casablancas's detached vocals and the driving rhythm section. As a defining moment in the post-punk revival movement, the song encapsulates the raw, lo-fi aesthetic that propelled The Strokes to international fame. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to capture the restless energy of early 2000s indie rock, making it a frequent choice for live performances and radio play. The track remains a critical touchstone for fans of the genre, representing the band's initial breakthrough before their subsequent evolution on albums like Comedown Machine.
