6 ContributorsGypsy LyricsSo I'm back, to the velvet under ground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy... that I was
And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
And lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Oh, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
To th gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
I have always loved you
And it all comes down to youYou might also likeEmbed

About Gypsy

'Gypsy' is a cover of the classic Fleetwood Mac song of the same name. The song was originally written by Stevie Nicks, who was inspired to write the lyrics about her relationship with bandmate Lindsey Buckingham. The song was released in 1982 as part of their album 'Mirage,' which was a commercial success and received critical acclaim. The song is known for its dreamy, melancholic sound and Nicks' captivating vocals and poetic lyrics.

Tigers Jaw's version of 'Gypsy' is a refreshing take on the classic song. They've managed to preserve the original's dreamy and melancholic sound while adding their own signature style of rock music to the mix. The band's instrumentation and vocal harmonies are spot-on, providing a new perspective to the song that fans of both Fleetwood Mac and Tigers Jaw can appreciate.

Tigers Jaw has proven time and time again that they are masters when it comes to covers. In fact, their cover of the song 'I Was Never Your Boyfriend' by American Football received widespread critical acclaim. The band's versatility and ability to put their own spin on classic songs is one of the reasons why 'Gypsy' is such a standout song.

The lyrics of 'Gypsy' are just as captivating as the music itself. The song speaks about the restlessness and wanderlust that many people feel at some point in their lives. Nicks' lyrics paint a picture of someone who is constantly searching for something that they can't quite put their finger on. The refrain, "So I'm back to the velvet underground, back to the floor that I love, to a room with some lace and paper flowers, back to the gypsy that I was," is particularly evocative and has become one of the song's most memorable lines.

In many ways, Tigers Jaw's cover of 'Gypsy' is the perfect tribute to the original. The band has managed to pay homage to Fleetwood Mac's classic song while still making it their own.
