About Oh Yeah

"Oh Yeah" was the second single from the British indie rock band The Subways, off of their debut record Young for Eternity. It features in the episode of Rescue Me, "Karate" in the scene where the character Lou shaved his testicles. Two music videos were created for the song. The original, released when the band was under Infectious Records, features the band playing the song inside. The newer video, filmed after they signed with Warner Brothers, shows the band playing the song in a building while girls in short skirts go about on rollerskates. The song features in an advertisement for football in The Sun newspaper.

Well, everytime I feel you're coming round, you're going down
You hit the ground with every force, it makes no sense or sound
God bless your soul girl
Now you got the whole world
I'm on my way now
I'll get there somehow

Have you ever seen the light?
Don't you wonder where I hide?
I will live, then I will die
I will keep you on my mind

It's your eyes that make me smile, oh yeah oh yeah
Wasting time, hanging out, oh yeah oh yeah
These teenage years, well they don't last, oh yeah oh yeah
These teenage lips, they speak too fast, oh yeah oh yeah

I can see the light that's shining from your eyes, blinding me
It's like I'm walking down your street again at seventeen

God bless your soul girl
They got the whole world
I'm on my way now
I'll get there somehow

Have you ever seen the light?
Don't you wonder where I hide?
I will live, then I will die
I will keep you on my mind

It's your eyes that make me smile, oh yeah oh yeah
Wasting time, hanging out, oh yeah oh yeah
These teenage years, well they don't last, oh yeah oh yeah
These teenage lips, they speak too fast, oh yeah oh yeah
