Verse 1
We take a brief walk, through my cursed homeland,
It's not too dark but she can't see,
A glance at her, she won't look back at me,
Even in dreamed surroundings,
(I feel so) lost within these streets.

Bridge
I'll wait it out, she'll come around, 'till now…

Chorus
I've wished for many midnight rendezvous,
To halt the yearning that I feel for you,
I've wished for many midnight rendezvous,
Suffered this city's dark side, to make it true,
(Make it true) all for you.

Verse 2
We take a long walk, in this dying dream world,
It gets less dark when she's with me,
My hand meets hers, she pulls away quickly,
Will it happen in real surroundings?
(I might just) try it and then see.

Bridge
I'll wait it out, she'll come around, 'till now…

Chorus
I've wished for many midnight rendezvous,
To halt the yearning that I feel for you,
I've wished for many midnight rendezvous,
Suffered this city's dark side, to make it true,
(Make it true) all for you.

Midsection
Will it be worth my while?
Since I'm…
Back in real surroundings,
Time to try my luck.

Bridge
I'll make a move, do it real soon, 'till now…
(I'm gonna' do what I must do)

Chorus
I've wished for many midnight rendezvous,
To halt the yearning that I feel for you,
I've wished for many midnight rendezvous,
Suffered this city's dark side, to make it true,
(Make it true) all for you.

Resolution for the Weekend

(I. The House Party)

Verse 1
Weekend is here at last (at last, at last, fuck yeah!),
Great gatherings abound, but only one I'm thinking about,
The girl, a chance to make my address,
Here's what I'll do (what I'll do), I'll get that midnight rendez…

Bridge
Break for the bathroom, hope in the hallway, a chance to chat,
Indifferent! But I won't give up just yet.

Chorus
Been livin' for the weekend,
Resolute in what I'll do, this Saturday I'll see it through,
Been livin' for the weekend,
Gonna' knock 'em dead, gonna' knock 'em dead.

Verse 2
Like the movements from my mind, this could all go so wrong,
Still I am stopped, in the tracks that I tread,
She's flanked by friends (those bastard same sex sentries)
Stop me from spinning lines with ease.

Bridge
Break for the bathroom, hope in the hallway, a chance to chat,
Indifferent! But I won't give up just yet.

Chorus
Been livin' for the weekend,
Resolute in what I'll do, this Saturday I'll see it through,
Been livin' for the weekend,
Gonna' knock 'em dead, gonna' knock 'em dead.

Midsection
The party moves to places new, a few more drinks and I do too,
I march to city centre lights,
Uh huh, the night has just begun.

(II. The Night Club)

I take confident strides, down to the dance floor,
I am determined she'll see me,
Two taps on shoulders now, she's turning round, turning round,
Look her straight in the eye, butterflies die, she's smiling.
(We live our dreams)

(III. The Morning After)

Awoken now to empty beds and dents where pillows could hold heads,
Fuzziness permeates my mind,
But I'll find, a memory in there,
Of when I conquered the despair,
And gained the taste of kisses so sweet, of kisses so sweet.

11.15pm (Thursday night)

Verse 1
Here I stand, here in the darkest,
Corner of the concrete,
My hands quiver, body shivers,
Yet I follow my feet.

Bridge
Won't let you down,
Time's turnin' round, turnin' round
One more hour, 'till I get to you…

10.15pm (Thursday night)

Verse 2
A saving supreme; the demand made of me,
Like a shout from the past, rushing here in a dream,
Earth spins backwards to make this come true,
A half hour, 'till I get to you.

09.45pm (Thursday night)

Verse 3
God only knows (I feel you draw near)
God only sees (Where I disappeared)
Preventing your death,
Solely, up to me.

Bridge
Won't let you down,
Time's turnin' round, turnin' round.

Verse 4
Fifteen minutes 'till I get to you,
'till the callousness runs you through,
Across forever, It's my endeavour,
To do what I must do.

Bridge
Won't let you down,
Time's turnin' round, turnin' round

09.30pm (Thursday night)

Midsection
Feeling the light from the far side of us,
Dash in fast-forward just to feel your touch,
Running and running to be there with you,
Cassandra, Cassandra,
This is what I must do!

09.30pm (Monday night)

Finale (Halcrow)
So, I'm here at last,
Alley of alleys, stagnant with the past,
Out of shadows he's leapt, catching her unaware,
A scuffle, a shove, now it's me who's prepared.

Finale (Cassandra)
It happens too fast, to understand how,
But he's standing there stabbed, with a glint in his eye,
A blood darkened smile, all just to halt my cries,
His smile seems to say, loved you from that first day.

Loved you from that first day.

Part 1 of the "101 Ways to Save a Girl" continuity.

Taken from debut Amid Concrete & Callousness EP; From Sketch to Stability.

Opening Lines

At times like these, we withdraw within our dreams,
(We live, within our dreams)
The concrete binds, minds assigned, this is the end,
(Grey Squares, this is the end)

One eyebrow raised,
(So softly) I'll speak the phrase you've been longing to hear...
(Please hear me)
"One hundred and one ways to save a girl"


Opening Lines

AC&amp;C performing the Band Aid Xmas smasher live last Christmas. As if that wasn't exciting enough, get ready for Jeff Pollock doing his best Paul Young! Mindblowing shit we think you'll agree.

Cheers to Douglas Clarke for bootlegging.

Merry Christmas everyone! xx
