Clinging to love, escape a father and mother
She offers some other way out of the hole
She’s overachieving, chasing her dreams
And coming down slowly, yeah, it’s out of control
Scrap the blues, if the blues don’t work
Flash your teeth, though the inside hurts
(Ah) it’s time to glow, lose your way
To make you feel better just because you feel worse
All of the books and all in a boat and
Nowhere to run, God, this is out of control
You wait for something to undo these feelings
Waiting and waiting but it’s out of control
Scrap the blues, if the blues don’t work
Flash your teeth, though the inside hurts
(Ah) it’s time to glow, lose your way
To make you feel better just because you feel worse
It never is enough
No, it never is enough
It never is enough
No, it never is enough
愛にしがみついているの
父と母から逃げて
彼女は、経済的屈強から脱げ出す道を申し出る
予想以上に成果を出してるから、夢を追い始めてるの
彼女はゆっくりと堕落して行く
そう、それって制御出来ないことよね
ブルーズに効き目がないなら、憂鬱はゴミ屑にして捨てな
歯をチラッと見せて
心の中が痛みを抱えてるならね
ああ、幸福に満たされる時間だわ
気分をより良くするには、余計な判断をしないこと
だって貴方が、気分が益々悪くなってるのを感じているからよ
本は全部、船中のは全部、どこにも逃げ場はないの
神様!これは、手に負えないわ
これまでの気持ちを振りほどく為の何か、を貴方は待つの
待っている、待っている、
でも、手に負えないわ
ブルーズに効き目がないなら、憂鬱はゴミ屑にして捨てな
歯をチラッと見せて
心の中が痛みを抱えているならね
気分をより良くする為には、余計な判断をしないこと

だって貴方が、気分が益々悪くなっているのを感じているからよ
それって全く足りないわ
ダメよ、全然足りないわ
それって全く足りないわ
ダメよ、全然足りないわ

Wolf Alice are a British four-piece alternative rock band from North London, formed initially as an acoustic duo in 2010. Its members since 2012 are Ellie Rowsell (vocals, guitar), Joff Oddie (guitars, vocals), Theo Ellis (bass), and Joel Amey (drums, vocals).
Wolf Alice were formed in 2010 and began as an acoustic duo between Ellie Rowsell and Joff Oddie. Their name came from a short story by Angela Carter.
Eventually deciding to add electric elements to their sound, they recruited Rowsell’s childhood friend, Sadie Cleary, to play the bass, and James DC, a friend of Oddie to be their drummer. They self-released an EP called Wolf Alice that year, featuring three songs: “Every Cloud”, “Wednesday”, and “Destroy Me”.
“Moaning Lisa Smile” is a song written from the perspective of Lisa Simpson of the animated series The Simpsons.
“Moaning Lisa Smile” is featured in an episode of The Leftovers. It also appeared in the promotional trailer of Arrow‘‘s mid-season three premiere, as well as on the soundtrack of the video game MLB The Show 16.
To promote the band’s debut album My Love Is Cool in the US, the song was performed on the Conan show June 5 and on the Late Late Show with James Corden August 11, 2015.
