Albert Hammond, Jr. is the rhythm and sometimes lead guitarist for indie rock band, The Strokes. He is also a solo musician, just having released two albums: Yours to Keep in 2006 and ¿Como Te Llama? this year.

Plus, he's currently dating "the fashion industry's next supermodel," Agyness Deyn. Music and fashion - how cliché.

So anyway, Back to the 101 is from his first album, Yours to Keep.



Though it took me by surprise,
One by one I realized,
There was something I could do

"I lost my way.",
That's what she said,
Back to the 101,
If we don't know,
Somewhere to go,
Back to the 101,

I never said to feel relaxed,
I never said to love me back,
What was I next to you?

In my mind it all goes back,
Lost control of what I had,
All my thoughts left one by one,

"I lost my way."
That's what she said,
Back to the 101,
Back to the one,
I never won,
Back to the 101,

I count the one,
I count the one,
I count the one oh one,

I know (I count the one),
I lost (I count the one),
My way (I count the one oh one),

This time (I count the one),
We'll find (I count the one),
A place (I count the one oh one),

I know (I count the one),
I lost (I count the one),
My way (I count the one oh one),

This time (I count the one),
We'll find (I count the one),
A place (I count the one oh one).
