lyrics

Let's celebrate our stylised functions
we're drinking late combinin' our junctions (baby)
so call me and let's make this a startup
we'll be touching hearts and minds with our jump-cuts (mmmm) Back when girls were taller and cooler
And the pharmacy put "great!" back in "super"
We were cutting riffs as short as our daywear (sporty)
It was timeless in that you had to be there (tic/toc/tok)

So chop me out a riff like it's 79
Pretty girls dash and the crowd is mine
Slogan slogan slogan in the light divine
Theories that kiss under the sky tonight
Chop me out a riff like it's 78
The lecturers swoon and the past is remade
Fashionistas down at the luck club
But I just want to take you home

Let's calibrate decided indifference
Our jaws drop but it's just interference (hon-ey)
Touch the screen but now feel the leather
We've got passes like those glam flighty fellas

Cool cool cool / don't be a fuck up
cool cool cool / don't be a drill guy
cool cool cool / swimmin' by the hot ships
Partyin' hard mediteranean time

Zim zum zum / everybody's movin'
Chop chop chop/ go the boys at the back crash crash crash
Vows are getting broken sparkin' up the communion wine...

So chop me out a riff like it's 79
Pretty girls dash and the crowd is mine
Slogan slogan slogan / in the light divine
Theories that kiss under the sky tonight
Chop me out a riff like it's 78
The lecturers swoon and the past is remade
Fashionistas down at the luck club
But I just want to take you home

Like 79
Like 78
Like 79
Like 78

about

Alexander's Festival Hall London, UK

Alexander's Festival Hall is a sort of English pop confection, a mix of regretful ballads and occasional pop rainbows. New album 'Not From Above!' is both music and book of stories. Twelve lush romantic songs and a collection of darkly comic thought experiments.
