I'm Aquarius Lyrics

Just one fight and just one anniversary
So I never thought you'd be the one to up and leave
You said our love was written in the stars
But I never paid attention to my charms

And now I see how quick you must want to forget
'Cause you left the ring I bought you with your cigarettes
Well I can finish up if you don't want them
And I can take the ring back where I got it from

I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a novice and
I'm a Taurus and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

Yeah, I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a Taurus and
I'm Aquarius and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

Never thought about it sentimentally
Never saw just how much you thought I meant to me
Never learned about it in university
Never thought about it 'cause you're the first to see

And I'm aware of the procedure
But normally it's me that leaves her
I guess I'm finished up
It's time to move on
I'm taking the ring back to where I got it from

I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a novice and
I'm a Taurus and
I'm not gonna say
I'm not gonna do

I can love it or
I can leave it
You said honey, I
Best be leaving
'Cause you're a novice and
I'm a Taurus and
We've had problems, we're
Notorious for them
It's what your friends said, now
You're inside there, now
I've seen our stars but there's
Nothing aligning.
'Cause I'm Aquarius
Yeah, I'm Aquarius

I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius
I'm Aquarius

I'm Aquarius

The first single from Metronomy's Love Letters album finds Joe Mount crooning a tale of doomed romance. "I've seen our stars and there's nothing aligning," he laments. The song was premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show on November 11, 2013.

Continuing the astral theme, the song was made available through an astronomy app called The Night Sky app, which was activated when the user found the Aquarius constellation in the sky. It was made available exclusively for one week to existing and new users of the app.

The video was directed by Edouard Salier, who previously helmed Justice's "Civilization" music clip. It finds frontman Joseph Mount encountering a goddess and hairless cats on an alien planet. "It's so hard to create an original science fiction movie since the whole genre's been mopped around in every direction," said Salier. "I wanted to do something very slow and contemplative, taking place in a very colourful and artistic universe."

Joe Mount told NME the background to this song: "I'm a Virgo," he said, "but there's a nice tradition of these songs from the 60s when astrology was a really cool thing to sing about, like, 'Aquarius,' (by The 5th Dimension), that I wanted to be part of."

Mount expanded on the song to NME: "Astrology, I don't believe in," he said, laughing. "I like spiritual people, I like people that believe that Jupiter is doing something that is relevant to them. I like how self-centered that is!"

"I wrote it as a soulful pop song and never imagined I would be the one to sing it." Mount continued. "I wanted to write a word the song that was about a breakup and someone basically blaming it on the planets, not on the fact that they are not very good in relationships."

Mount sent the song to Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts, who he worked with on her debut solo album Cinderella Eyes. He told The Sun: "I realise I'm lucky now that I got to keep it. It's a song that stayed with me and it works so well on this album."
