Been awhile since I’ve seen some action baby
Gotta know if I’ll get the same reaction maybe
You and me and the devil make three
There’s no way around the simplicity
Been awhile since I’ve seen some action baby
All the kids get hip for the trip
I’ve got the spark so we can get lit
Come on!

The Lonely Popular Girl
01:59

Hearts can be so unkind
She roamed the halls ’til she was all he could find
Then one day he went away
Looking back it’s hard to say
Analyzing what went wrong
Alone again all along
Love on trial
Your hearts denial
My case I compile
Present it to you
NYLON® hips Teen Vogue® lips
She’s the lioness of loneliness
Times seemed so different then
She stole him from her best girlfriend
Thirteen weeks then summer fades
Cold will turn the greenest of blades

Pardon me if I’m me
Could I have this dance for eternity?
Shake a leg or should I beg
Now we’re part of the societal dreg
There’s no reason to have it be the same
When I’m with you my heart is for your claim
Get up
Just to get down
The party’s here for one night in town
Get loose
There’s no excuse
Kiss me now if you want to seduce
Hold the line if you’d be so kind
Take another piece of my mind
Hold it out for the world to see
There’s so many boys but none like me

Silly boy I was once like you
Thought that girl was forever true
She keeps hearts as souvenirs
Here I am on the verge of tears
She will soothe you
Then she’ll lose you
Beauty and the broken heart
Her kind of ache is a work of art
Beauty and the broken heart
Thats what they called us after we fell apart
Don’t fall for the shortest skirt
Don’t be a slave to her bitter hurt
She’ll bait you with feminine wile
Though her antics are juvenile
She will soothe you
Then she’ll lose you
Beauty and the broken heart
Her kind of ache is a work of art
Beauty and the broken heart
Thats what they called us after we fell apart
All’s fair in love and war
She has so much to answer for
Heed my words to save your pain
Or suffer the cost of romantic disdain

Mixed Signals
02:11
|

|
You never say you love me but I know you do
You say you’re never thinking of me but I know it’s not true
You say you’re super busy and have no time for love
But when it comes to making out girl you’re miles above
Dare I say you’ve found a way to keep me hanging on
Mixed signals when I should be moving on
Yeah I know you’re superficial and its only skin deep
And when you’re never satisfied your company’s hard to keep
I know you’re making efforts so I can’t complain
Girl I gotta have your attention but my attempts are in vain
I sense you’re being distant
But I might be confused
Is our love nonexistent?
Or a seductive ruse?
Mixed signals
Mixed signals
Mixed signals
Mixed signals when I should be moving on
Mixed signals
Mixed signals
Mixed signals
Mixed signals when I should be moving on

Blank valentine
Are you empty inside
All that glitter and all that fuss
Are you hoping it would just be us
Blank valentine
Are you lonely all the time
Here one day then we part
The massacre you left inside my heart
Can I get a break
Can I get a scowl
Can I make it up to you somehow
Can I get a kiss
Can you give a fuck
Are we always going to be this stuck
Oh no
Blank valentine
What message will you write
Afraid to say I’m your crush
When every word makes you dizzy and flush
Blank valentine
Will you ever be mine
Heart shaped hopes and the such
Did you think you’d miss me this much
Can I get a break
Can I get a scowl
Can I make it up to you somehow
Can I get a kiss
Can you give a fuck
Are we always going to be this stuck
Oh no
Can I get a break
Can I get a scowl
Can you make it up to me somehow
Can I get a kiss
Can you give a fuck
Are we always going to be this stuck
Oh no

Had To Be You
01:55
|

|
When you found me I was down and out
My love life was in an epic drought
I’m probably crazy for accepting defeat
Then your kiss swept me off my feet
There might be a million girls
But just one will do
Baby it had to be you
You came to me like a shimmering dream
Thats not true but thats what it seems
When you kiss me with your candy lips
I feel your loving through my fingertips
There might be a million girls
But just one will do
Baby it had to be you
It had to be you
The signs you can’t ignore
It had to be you
There’s no one before

If you’re thinking about leaving
I got news for you
If you’re thinking about leaving
I’ve been thinking about it too
If you’re thinking about leaving
And your bags are packed
If you’re thinking about leaving
Don’t say you want me back
I won’t put up with your running around
I won’t put up with your put me downs
If you’re thinking about leaving
Then I guess it’s so long
If you’re thinking about leaving
That's where you went wrong
If you’re thinking about leaving
I got news for you
If you’re thinking about leaving
I’ve been thinking about it too

Midnight Vectors
03:08
|

|
Some tears are best dried by the sun
I still tell myself you’re the only one
It’s not what I say it’s what I do
Some feelings are best left out in the cold
When you say my name my knees start to fold
It’s not what you say it’s what you do
These times of trouble
My heartaches double
Still chasing specters
And midnight vectors
You’ll always be the one that got away
Tell me what happened to that girl I used to know
Did she take her life?
Or become a wife?
Theres really no way to know
You’ll always be the one that got away

The moon is out the stars are bright
This could be like no other night
So come on come on get it while you can
I don’t expect no one to understand
And I feel like I know better
Send you all my love letters
We’ll somehow be together
If we could brace this stormy weather
You’ll always be the only one for me
You’ll always be the only one for me
You better move it’s going fast
Don’t wait too long or it just won’t last
So come on come on get it while you can
I don’t expect no one to understand
You’ll always be the only one for me
You’ll always be the only one for me
If you are lonely I’ll be there for you
And when you hold me you’re my rescue
And then you told me we’ll make it through
You’ll always be the only one for me
You’ll always be the only one for me
You’ll always be the only one for me
You’ll always be the only one for me
You’ll always be the only one for me
You’ll always be the only one for me

Baby How Long
02:10

How long do you think you’re new love will last?
How long do you think before he’s in the past?
I’m trying not to care so forget I asked how long
It seems like time is standing oh so still
Is there a magic potion or a pill
When can I expect you on your way
The flower’s are jumping out of their bouquet
Its not like me to play the long game
But no one else makes my heart exclaim
When can I expect you through my door
My single bed won’t be lonely anymore
How long do you think you’re new love will last?
How long do you think before he’s in the past?
I’m trying not to care so forget I asked how long
Baby how long?
Baby how long?
Baby how long?
Baby how long?

Eyes As Blue As Angels

Girl I’ll give you all my heart if you say that you’ll be true
Never say you’ll hurt me and I’ll do the same for you
I’m ordering doom service and picking up the check
I thought I was a mess before but now I’m a wreck
No one could ever take your place
You said it like you might’ve missed my embrace
Do you ever tire from running through my mind?
And when you’re in there tell me what else do you find?
I’d give it all to have it just the way things were
Can’t you see the real me baby or am I just a blur
Hear me girl as I plead
If I hurt anymore you know I’m going to bleed
Eyes as blue as angels
I can’t feel their pain though

Her Vast Majesty
02:49

I met the girl who killed September
I kinda figured you wouldn’t remember
Blonde locks dying for your attention
Laundry list features too long to mention
People talk about misery but I didn’t know how bad it could be
Before her vast majesty
Summer’s blood is on her hands
Take me back when spring began
Our dreams were crumpled just like foil
Funeral for flowers as they spoil
People talk about misery but I didn’t know how bad it could be
Before her vast majesty
This might be hard to believe I’ve made bad decisions a time or three
Before her vast majesty
It wasn’t hard to see but everyone knew but me
Before her vast majesty

Tonight

Tonight I want to taste your touch
Tonight I’ve never wanted it so much
Yesterday will be so far away tonight
Tonight I’m gonna steal a kiss
I may never feel like this
Today is gone now there’s only tonight
Tonight no rules apply
Tonight it’s do or die
Tonight there’s no retry
Tonight I’m gonna hold your hand
Tonight you’re gonna let me be your man
I’m going to live like there’s no tomorrow tonight
Tonight I hope you squeeze me tight
Without you it’s never been right
This could only mean one thing tonight

Never Up To You

I know you're gonna like it
I know you're gonna try it too
I know you're gonna buy it
I know you're gonna fall for the ruse
Bite the line, pass the lie
Cause it's better than the truth, don't I know
Play the part, be the mark
Cause it's better than the truth, don't I know
I know you're gonna like it
I know you're gonna try it too
I know you're gonna buy it
I know you're gonna fall for the ruse
Bite the line, pass the lie
Cause it's better than the truth, don't I know
Play the part, be the mark from the start
Cause it's never up to you, don't I know

I love this twangy 90's inspired and in some part shoegaze album. When you get an opportunity sit, listen and bath in the 90's indie glory. Fantastic album.
