I'm putting all my eggs in one basket




I've been a roaming Romeo
My Juliets have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you

I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through

I've got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey
And I've decided
Love divided
In two
Won't do

So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I've got on you

I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you

I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through

I've tried to love more than one
Finding it just can't be done
Honey
There's one I lie to
When I try to
Be true
To two

So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I've got on you

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It’s Blitz!



Three years in the making, It’s Blitz! has been billed as another departure for New York’s Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Upon their inception, only cretins would fail to notice that there was something else evident in the band, something more than rhythms and dances, something more adventurous and characterful that needed teasing out. While The Von Bondies, The Datsuns and The D4 proved their worth and enjoyed comparatively un-notable careers, the increasingly unconventional trio return with an album that shows their work’s culmination. If anything, there’s still room for them to expand and produce something further-reaching, but this is a fine example of a band realising that they are no longer encumbered with the trappings of the pop song, and determined to express that.
