Roller Coaster

Bring it up
Keep it coming
That's right, just a little bit further
Now let it drop
Hey yeah
hey yeah
hey yeah
With your hands in the air
You smile like you don't care
But riders please beware
Gravity isn't fair
This roller coaster spins me around
My head is in the clouds
But my feet aren't on the ground
If it ever stops downtown
Will I know what's up from down
Hey yeah
hey yeah
hey yeah
With your hands in the air
You're headed for who knows where
To happiness or despair
Gravity isn't fair
This roller coaster spins me around
My head is in the clouds
But my feet aren't on the ground
If it ever stops downtown
Will I know what's up from down
Life's a roller coaster
Rolling dice upon a game
What are your intentions
Will you manifest your fate
Your fate
Your fate
This roller coaster spins me around
My head is in the clouds
But my feet aren't on the ground
If it ever stops downtown
Will I know what's up from down

Punk Rock Pyre
03:33
|

Flames climb up from London's River Thames
Screaming out, one man protests in vain
It's time we threw it all into the fire
It's a funeral
It's a punk rock pyre
Punk's not dead
No, no
It's just up and grown
Into an incorporated mixture of dead ideals
And concentrated fixture on advertising tricksters
Monetization of the future income
Of our coming generations that don't stand a chance
Against the marketization of the music business
And the punk rock nation
Who's one sole role
Was to fight against the faction
Of elitist nomination
That ruins our chances
For anarchisation
Be careful when you light
Your match
You could sink your ship
And become detached
Punk's not dead
No, no
It's just up and grown
Into an incorporated mixture of dead ideals
And concentrated fixture on advertising tricksters
Monetization of the future income
Of our coming generations that don't stand a chance
Against the marketization of the music business
And the punk rock nation
Who's one sole role
Was to fight against the faction
Of elitist nomination
That ruins our chances
For anarchisation
Hey

Into an incorporated mixture of dead ideals
And concentrated fixture on advertising tricksters
Monetization of the future income
Of our coming generations that don't stand a chance
Against the marketization of the music business
And the punk rock nation
Who's one sole role
Was to fight against the faction
Of elitist nomination
That ruins our chances
For anarchisation

Burdens Into Sound

Twenty-nine and I'm livin' life
I'm just goin' with the seasons
Take your time
I don't mind
I'll meet you where the path runs straight and high
I'll take my time
I won't lose my mind
Stay awake
Illusions I have fought so hard to free my mind from
They won't reinstate
Twenty-nine and still I'm feeling fine
Do you ever wonder why, oh why
It feels so good to let it out
To express the thoughts that are inside
We turn our burdens into sound
I'll take my time
I won't lose my mind
Stay awake
Stay awake
Stay awake
Illusions I have fought so hard to free my mind from
They won't reinstate
Twenty-nine and still I'm feeling fine

The Whereabouts California
At a time when rock’n’roll has become an ironic term, and bands have been replaced by wannabe celebrities whose live appearances are scripted marketing events, The Whereabouts want to remind you what rock music was all about in the first place: Not an onramp to Hollywood, but a road trip to wherever we end up. ... more
