Cheerleaders fighting gravity 02:15
lyrics

Big cheers to the one above For the precious and the cheaper love The volunteers demanding unity Cheerleaders fighting gravity All hail the American dream The young dancer’s lack of self-esteem Kids faking their identities Cheerleaders fighting gravity Consider it Consider it mine

What you want is all right set your fears aside We’re gonna make it tonight, ‘cause you are a queen by right See the flames crawl the walls Still our love’s waterfalls Baby’s making me smile but I’m still in denial Queenie you’ve got style Now let’s savor this for a while See the flames crawl the walls Still our love’s waterfalls

Sci-Fi! 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Are they black or are they white? (Why should I bother?) Travel at the speed of light (Why should I bother?) Am I really worth the probe? (Why should I bother?) Terror covers up our hope (Why should I bother?) Are they green or are they red? (Why should I bother?) Or just created in my head? (Why should I bother?) I’ve got my phaser set to stun (Why should I bother?) As head towards the sun (Why should I bother?) Why? Sci-Fi!

If you don’t know how to hold me: that’s all right If you’re strong enough I’ll show you – it ‘ll be all right Summer’s coming the drummer’s drumming kids are humming and it’s all right To the beach is where we’re going: that’s allright My new Speedo I’ll be showing – it’ll be all right Summer’s coming the drummer’s drumming kids are humming and it’s all right

Equestrian friends 03:09
lyrics
buy track
I’ve seen you right before me The leather in your hand About to ride a pony About to meet a friend And no one else will know this There are no future plans You leave it all behind you You have equestrian friends Sometimes I need to argue I feel no real remorse You eat your veal and chicken I’ll settle for some horse And no one else will know this I have no future plans Some have their chicken dinner I have equestrian friends

I’m feeling alone. Please pick up the phone. I’m in love with you ooh and you’re turning me on. A cigarette and your glove. Sniffing all of your love. Are you receiving my call? Will you be listening at all? I’m in love with Bobbi Flekman Here at home I’ll be her yes-man I’m in love with Bobbi Flekman I just want for you to come home! I’m bare to the bone. So come buff my chrome. I’m in love with you ooh and you’re turning me on. I’m feeling alone. Are you receiving my call? I just met your dog and now we’re trying the rug. I’m in love with Bobbi Flekman Here at home I’ll be her yes-man I’m in love with Bobbi Flekman I just want for you to come home! Bobbi Flekman! Bobbi Flekman! Bobbi Flekman! Bobbi Flekman!

Endlessly fall 05:03
lyrics
buy track
I think some things are truly wonderful. When a house is a home where you don’t feel alone. Should we wait and did we move at all? When you wake from a dream where you endlessly fall. Maybe you’ve never felt alive at all. And the place you call home leaves you feeling alone. You can wait and never move at all. Then you’ll wake from a dream and you’ll endlessly fall. I’ll make it all right, I’ll make it all right, I’ll make it all right tonight. (you want it back….you’ll never get it back)

Now I woke up, you are still here Count: four-ten-eleven I could just repeat that sequence Close your eyes now Elsie I’ll only trust you until I walk away I’m living somewhere else I just stumbled in today Once again this is the last day Count: four-ten-eleven Little girl remains unconscious Kiss the eyes of Elsie I’ll only trust you until I walk away I’m living somewhere else I just stumbled in today

Do you want to come? 02:45
lyrics
buy track
I was having trouble sleeping. People shouted: ‘Hey boy, do you wanna come?’ ‘Watch the fireworks’ said my gunner, ‘rally onward!’ Hey boy, do you wanna come? Is it the fireworks? The revolution? An explosion? It’s the confusion! One more night of song and laughter. We all shouted: ‘Hey boy, do you wanna come?’ ‘I think I’m hit Sir’ said the gunner, ‘watch the blood-spill’ Hey now, do you wanna come? Is it the fireworks? The revolution? An explosion? It’s the confusion!

Old streets 03:35
lyrics
buy track
If you can get him to run he’s gonna crawl back And if you tell him to leave he’s gonna stay child And if you ask him to jump he’s gonna pull you down To be out in the Old Streets Have drink, have a nose-bleed ‘til we get to that fine stage ‘til we get to the right place: Down. You’ve had enough of this fun but still he’ll crawl back And if you ask him polite he’ll just be more wild And if you tell him to run he’s gonna pull you down To be out in the Old Streets Have drink, have a nose-bleed ‘til we get to that fine stage ‘til we get to the right place: Down.

The cat's away 03:33
lyrics
buy track
The first holiday alone You spent a fortnight on your own You were thinking I am never going home ‘cause when today the cat’s away You’ll make sure the mice will play In the city Where no parent is awake Most important friends are here Where you go they’re always near Even when you are Trembling with fear Get ready for a holiday We’re going crazy and the cat’s away The Cat’s Away The Cat’s Away

Little thieves 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Once there was a mystery Let’s call it trust Then there was achievement Just before we all got lost And along came arrogance With a friend called lust We’re in it for the money And because in God we trust We are Little Thieves Dropping half the candy as we flee I wish I could believe There should be one God for all to see. Once there was a mystery We’ll call it trust Then there was achievement And then it all got lost And along came arrogance With a friend called lust We’re in it for the money And for some God we trust We are Little Thieves Dropping half the candy as we flee I wish I could believe There should be one God for all to see.

about

Amp Magazine: ‘Yup, they manage to combine the best of the golden years of pop, punk, new wave,and good ol stomping rock, make it sound so remarkably fresh, and well, modern. Or rather, timeless. Some exquisite songwriting definitely helps. A brilliant reminder of how good guitars, bass, drums and vocals can really sound. Don’t take my word for it, track down this catchy fucker today
