LYRICS
Give it to your valentine
you wouldn’t give it to your best friends sister
although secretly you cant resist her
you wouldn’t give it to your girlfriends mum,
come on
You wouldn’t listen when i said resist it
but now you got it oh you best restrict it
oh just listen to the bass line now come on
Oh you wouldn’t give it to your father
you wouldn’t give it to your mother, oh
you’d only give it to your valentine
so, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya
Valentine
so, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to
a thousand times, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
just give it to your valentine
oh oh oh oh
just give it till there’s no more left to give.
you wouldn’t give it to your long lost teacher
she deserves a little something cheaper
you wouldn’t give it to the girl from work,
come on
and though it seems a little hedonistic
its supercalifragilistic
when the bonuses come in on march 14
Oh you wouldn’t give it to your father
you wouldn’t give it to your mother, oh
you’d only give it to your valentine
so, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya
Valentine
so, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to
a thousand times, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
just give it to your valentine
just give it to your valentine
you know it makes you feel alright
If genuinely well conducted
sure to leave em half corrupted
Electricks
Oh its no surprise she gonna take it tonight
guestlist blagged
glam phase set to “stun on sight”
spare change stashed inside, its on
walk of shame withdrawn
with a spring in her step
and a fresh pay check an a
week to forget
ive seen it again and again and again and again and again and again oh
she walks out the door
lights up the sky
Electricks so hard to deny
We’ve followed again and again and again and again and again and again and again oh
So hard to resist
the fire in her eyes
a constant we’ve come to rely on
Relentless its true
shes packin passion for two, oh oh
its best to wish she ends up with you
She says the night is young
we gonna push it till the sun reigns down
we gonna tear up the town
She says we’re breakin numbers
its true its late on sundays
she comes into her own
alighted on her regal throne
just when you think its over
the opposite of sober
she gives a wink and says its time to begin
ive seen it again and again and again and again and again and again oh
she walks out the door
lights up the sky
Electricks so hard to deny
We’ve followed again and again and again and again and again and again and again oh
So hard to resist
the fire in her eyes
a constant we’ve come to rely on
And when its all been said and done
the games of all bin drawn lost won here tonight
She’ll write it out in capital letters
best foot forward its a motto forever
and now the time has come for us to unite
and share amongst the fear, love, fame and delight
of waking up in someone elses clothes
one shoe lost and a long struck pose
Chorus
Walked the line
In times of trouble just think of reason
we’ve waited now through countless seasons
it’s time to re-design our fate
Its long gone past to re-instate
the moments shared
were so inspired
electrically fresh,
its true i feel rewired
and now i got a point to make
perhaps it should be private
the more i put my pen to page
i find i cannot hide it
Its time to face the facts and finally follow through
on making records, wasting time on something blue
she walked the line
she took five times
to blow my mind
and then she left me hanging
and then she left me hanging
and now im dangling here
right by a single thread
it slowly dawns
iv been misled
and as im swinging
blown by the wind
the answer came
right from the air just like he said
“its time to take
control yourself
stop waiting idly
for someone else
this dream is yours
and yours alone
just walk the fields and reap the seeds you carefully sow”
Its time to face the facts and finally follow through
on making records, wasting time on something blue
she walked the line
she took five times
to blow my mind
and then she left me hanging
and while i’m hangin i got nothing left to do
but making records while i’m thinking about you
she walked the line
she took five times
to blow my mind
and then she left me hanging
and then she left me hanging
so whats the point of backing track, in touch, inverting time
stop searchin answers, intertwine ironic rhymes
i led myself right down this path through countless sinning
rewind to lock the gate behind remind that its beginning
Chorus
MTV
type of style that you would never wear
she got that skin tight bra that’s barely there
on that music channel you better beware
they got you hooked in
never to break your stare
Causin a commotion
breakin up with boys
hittin all the tabloids
when they should be makin noise
They’re gettin sleazy on MTV for you
so whadaya know?
If your listening on the radio?
They’re gettin sleazy on MTV for you
If your listening out
Your missin out
you know she fakes it dancing on the floor
never the less it leaves you wanting more
Dancing just for you though you you’ve only just met
you’re hoping that your girlfriend don’t suspect
secrets of hers whispered in your ear
sharing with the nation, oh its so sincere
They’re gettin sleazy on MTV for you
so whadaya know?
if you’re listening on the radio?
They’re gettin sleazy on MTV for you
If you’re listening out
you’re missin out
check it out online
re-link it to your dad
watch as it goes viral
Then you wish it never had
there’s nothing left to do
They’re getting sleazy and they’re doin it for you
They’re gettin sleazy on MTV for you
so whadaya know?
If your listening on the radio?
They’re gettin sleazy on MTV for you
If your listening out
Your missin out
Dream last night
She had a dream last night
watched you in slow motion
transfixed by your every move
Bathing in pale moonlight
when she dreams its in black and white
but you came through
an explosion in the twilight
yes you came through
like a glitch in time from when she was fine
And though she wildly thinks she’s finally taken over
She got caught up in the moment
And cos she’s prone to recollecting long lost fables
She got caught in design
You were an open book
left by the fireside long before anyone knew who you were
She had some time to kill
Your pages designed to thrill
She fell on the manuscript right there
open on the chapter entitled with fate
she searched for her name within
you’d left her on page 15
And though she wildly thinks she’s finally taken over
She got caught up in the moment
And cos she’s prone to recollecting long lost fables
She got caught up in design
The sun in your hair leaves it shining like gold
Left on the coastline
writing your name in the sand
calling hopelessly out to the sea
wind whispering in her ear
She thought it was oh so clear
She went to the window
just where you’d left her eyes soaked years ago
you stood there
like a silhouette from a lost mindset
oh yeah
And though she wildly thinks she’s finally taken over
She got caught up in the moment
And cos she’s prone to recollecting long lost fables
She got caught in design X2
She got caught up in the way that you walked and you talked and you danced and you mispronounced her name
she got misled by the way that you held her and charmed her and gracefully sheltered her from rain
So many reasons to hate you now but she cant seem to get you right out of her mind
because you shine through,
as if just in time,
for her to remind
that though she wildly thinks she’s finally taken over
She got caught up in the moment
And cos she’s prone to recollecting long lost fables
She got caught in design X2
Makin’ Noise
Come make some noise,
We’ll bring this down, down down down
Bomb is deployed
I feel it tick tick ticking (make or break)
Just don’t be coy, (I know your on it)
I knew the moment we got back to mine
Let’s make some noise, hanging from the ceiling,
Crank the bass and volume, and forgive me when I say..
Cos it’s the perfect crime
Never regret it or you’re neighbours forget it
We may be pressed for time,
Don’t wanna find the moment long gone and wasted
It’s playing on your mind
You knew the moment you walked in just admit it, oh
You left me breathless with the way that you move,
I’m still obsessing with the things that you do
It was the perfect crime. The ultra way to unwind…
Were making noise
and I feel it taking over my body like a fractured techtonic
Creatin voids
while we’re shakin up the nation (true we know its outta line…)
but I got no choice,
when i feel the friction over and over as it trickles down my spine…
Keep making noise when we are together
Oh & there’s nothing you can do…
Cos it’s the perfect crime
Never regret it or you’re neighbours forget it
We may be pressed for time,
Don’t wanna find the moment long gone and wasted
It’s playing on your mind
You knew the moment you walked in just admit it, oh
You left me breathless with the way that you move,
I’m still obsessing with the things that you do
I’m still obsessing with the things that you do
I’m still obsessing with the things that you do
It was the perfect crime. The ultra way to unwind
And now you got me here you best quit all your playin
And listen quietly to the rest of what im sayin…
Cos it’s the perfect crime
Never regret it or you’re neighbours forget it, oh
We may be pressed for time,
Don’t wanna find the moment long gone and wasted
It’s playing on your mind,
You knew the moment you walked in just admit it,
You left me breathless with the way that you move,
I’m still obsessing with the things that you do
(I’m still obsessing with the things that you do)
(I’m still obsessing with the things that you do)
Cash-back
Don’t listen to the lies that they feed ya
think if ya told ya mother would she believe ya?
“buy this and you can reach for the stars,
we’ll give you cash-back as you ascend to mars”
Just think of all the time that’s gone and been wasted
on the shit they said you always related to
and now they’re selling ya something old as new
while hinting at a modern day breakthrough
They’re mesmerized by luxury
diamonds on their brain
back stabbing oh they’re always the same
clearly invoking
They got my best interest snapped
clearly they’re hoaxing
Switchback, strike em where it matters
Hold tight, talking back to you
Oh no! How can this be legal?
Subliminal messages imprinted in my shoe?
as the realisation’s finally taken over
you’ll find your waking in a supernova
Just remember what they told ya
ya consumed what they sold ya
They’re mesmerized by luxury
diamonds on their brains
back stabbing oh they’re always the same
they’re clearly invoking
they got my best interest snapped
now, clearly they’re hoaxing
Stop fakin, stop makin out
you got the thing we we should be talking about
they got a margin that you’d rather not see
just buy 1 and you’l get 4 more free
what does it tell ya when you see that together
someone said that they’re controlling the weather
Flash flooding on the eastern front all night
Stock bomb on western promise of space flight…
They’re mezmerized by luxury
diamonds on their brain
back stabbing oh they’re always the same
clearly invoking
They got my best interest snapped
clearly they’r hoaxing
mesmerized by luxury
diamonds on their brain
back stabbing oh they’re always the same
clearly invoking
They got my best interest snapped
clearly they’re hoaxing
The Dominant Gender
I took a moment to reflect as you strolled in from the shadow
it took a second to sink in that i was just here for you
you left it open with a flagrant disrespect for conformity
i filed it quick and stamped it red and primed it for your review
Cause every time we stumble into each other
this pussyfooting is no way to discover
if it is right to be ignoring each other
rolling around aligned with another
cos every now and then ill think of you and i will wonder
what the point of all this has been
not to end up in a magazine
cos every time i thought id caught you eye me up in the mirror
the angle slipped and left it open with the sun in your view
i left a fingerprint on ice its true in case you regret it
i left another thing as well but i think we’ll leave that just me and you
Cause every time we stumble into each other
this pussyfooting is no way to discover
if it is right to be ignoring each other
rolling around aligned with another
cos every now and then ill think of you and i will wonder
what the point of all this has been
its not to end up in a magazine
i’m not pretending to be James Dean or anyone else you’ve ever really seen..
