Conclusion

Wake up with my eyes wide shut
I can't remember a time when this was fun
I've been distracted by the cities and the lights and the shows
But I left my heart out there on the road
I thought I'd left this place in the distant past
Although everything moves I'm going nowhere fast
If you don't try to fly then you will never fall
But three years gone by and nothing's changed at all
I've got this music and it keeps me alive
When you are not with me when you're not by my side
You say we'll make plans but you have not got the time
I guess that it's over but at least we tried

Never Be Younger
04:38
|
|

Make way for the treble and bass when it hits you just like a slap in the face
No need to raise the alarm, just carry on but don't keep it calm
So try it. Can't fight it. Coming on strong like a neon riot
We transmit the moshpit when it comes on you just can't deny it
Hold up about to erupt, the night is still young so we buckle up
No need to aggravate violence, bring out the noise and break down the silence
These soundbites. They take flight. Let yourself go and don't be so uptight
It's our right 'til first light
Never be younger than we are, than we are tonight
So turn down the light
Cos something's not right
We'll never be younger than we are tonight
So turn down the light
Cos something's not right
I thought that I told her we'll never be younger than we are tonight
Than we are tonight
Fast forward to the action replay, don't give up until the first light of day
This night has only begun, we're nowhere near done so bring out the real fun
No drama. Try harder. Don't stop 'til your heart's beating louder
This limelight, it's just right
Never be younger than we are, than we are tonight

Take a backseat view to a scene that died a long time ago
If you sit around waiting doing nothing, you'll have nothing left to show
So get up, speak up, stand up, get out! Don't waste away
If you sit around waiting doing nothing, you'll have nothing left to say
(You keep screaming but you're screaming after nothing
We keep on dreaming, least we're dreaming about something)
And I know how this looks from where you're standing
All alone
You're just like...!

He spends his evenings in a crowded room
Waiting for someone who will tell him what to do
It's not coming soon
She spends her days here working nine 'til five
To earn the money that she needs to live her life
Or at least survive
Her heart's in my hands
But everyone's trying to go it alone
My heart is racing
But I don't think I can do this on my own
His eyes are clouded so he cannot see
Have further doubts about just what he wants to be
I think I'll just be me and agree and agree... and disagree with everything
She hopes that someday she will see this through
But hope's not enough when you need to start anew
So let's just make that two

Bounce
02:19
|
|

Turn this up 'til it hits eleven
Take fire with a bassline weapon
Hold tight down below as above
'Til the bright lights shine like the gates of heaven
Beats so fast got motion sickness
Bass so tight it's strictly business
Build it up and tear it down as it drops
'Til the frequencies all beg forgiveness
(Oh my days! I know exactly where we're going with this one... let's hear it)
We hit the floor and we bounce!
Here again for the second verse
Hit the floor like change from a purse
Hold the line cos I was here first
New rave is dead but I got out the hearse
Don't be so damn dramatic
It's just white noise and static
But mixed in a way to make you stay up all night now causing havoc
(And we're only just getting started...)
We hit the floor and we bounce!

Slam Dunk The Pop Punk
03:04

Black flag on his wrist but he still drinks Carling
Swallows on his neck and a chest piece starling
Things he's like Rollins but he's more Phil Collins
Drives his Corsa to the danger zone as if he's Kenny Loggins
I-Pod, I-Phone, I-Buy anything
Photos up online because the high-life's everything
Misogynist t-shirt, cap at a joint
Guess what I'm trying to say is he kinda missed the point
(You can't stop it, you won't stop it, you can't stop it
You can't stop it, you won't stop it
Cos I can hear it coming with a 1, 2, 3, 4!)
Slam dunk, slam dunk the pop punk
Pick yourself up, pick yourself up
Stand tall and pole vault the default
Show the world who you really are!
1D, 2D, 3D, 4! Take a look outside your bedroom cos there's so much more
Than identikit plastic packaged on a shelf
With a little time and effort you can do it all yourself
So take the mic, take the stage, take the words out on the page
Take all the feelings that you feel from happiness to rage
Listen to yourself, listen to your soul
Don't listen to anyone that says you're not in control

Fair Warning
02:48
|
|

I'm over me and I'm over you
I'm over everything you had me do
I'm over this and I'm over you
Consider this fair warning for if I stop calling
I'll start again before the break of morning
I'm over this and I'm over you
I'm over you
Consider this my final act
I don't want you back
Consider this my final dedication
I'm over me and I'm over you
I'm over everything you held me to
I'm over this and I'm over you
Consider this fair warning for if I stop calling
I'll start again before the break of morning
I'm over this and I'm over you
I'm over you

Stay '79
02:49
|
|

Cut here cut there cut down the centre
Is there anything left but the right?
You claim the arts aren’t necessary for a career
But without them I wouldn’t have mine
And I can’t stand it the way you keep on
Like you’re always right
Well five more years feels like forever
But it could all change overnight
Stay close there’s a lot on the line
We’ll hold on together like it’s 1979
Take this one day at a time
We’ll hold on together like it’s 1979
I didn’t vote for this I didn’t vote for you
But in five years time I hope we’re through
Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints
But I guess your intentions aren’t quite so true
And I can’t stand it the way you keep on
Like your words mean more despite
The fact that just because you claim to be in a majority
It doesn’t mean you’re actually right!
I didn't vote for this, I didn't vote for you
But in five years time I hope we're through
I didn't vote for this, I didn't vote for you!

Step One
03:01
|
|

Step one - form a band
Take the weight off the music in your hand
Step two - write some songs
This is how it feels to feel you belong
Step three - play some shows
Pack it all up and take it out on the road
Step four - start again
Reset, repeat, resume back to step one
Step up, step out, step down, step one
Step one - when you hear that sound
You make it your quest to track it all down
Step two - it never ends
A constant cycle of repeating trends
Step three - from my mic to your ear
Upload online for everyone to hear
Step four - get lost in the crowd
You can step where you like but don't step on my dubstep - one
Step up, step out, step down, step one

Something Left To Show

We keep on running
We keep on trying
Even when there's nowhere left to go
We keep on building
We keep on dreaming
So long as we've got something left to show
