The only bad thing about this song is when it ends....

LYRICS

C’mon shake it just like it’s a bad habit
Burn it down to the filter on your cigarette
‘Til you’re pulling at the end of the rope
Hit the bottle ‘til you’re back to the rocks
And don’t you let ‘em bite your style
Velvet tongues and their plastic smiles
Oh, the cold blood casanovas
They’ll get you if you let them

It’s draining
Giving more than you wanted
Playing into their pockets
They act like monsters in coffins
So beware, baby
You better watch your neck
The world is a vampire

You got nowhere to run
Got your finger on the trigger of your silver bullet gun
But they just keep on coming back for more
Until you’re rotten all the way to the core
So play the game, take the L
We’ll save you a pretty little place in hell
The operators are standing by
But there’s no one who can take your call

It’s draining
Giving more than you wanted
Playing into their pocket
Colder than monsters in coffins
So beware, baby
You better watch your neck
They’ll make you a monster
Yeah, the world is a vampire

Don’t let ‘em getcha
Ooh yeah,
The world, the world, world is a vampire
So watch your neck

Vampires

NAPOLEON

Oh No! Yoko - 90s Kids

a fear of heights, i might sprout wings - 
hope these ropes and shoots really spring! 

i have three feet, i can't pick two - 
which ones wear my dancing shoes? 

la-la-la-lollipop-rockets-bubble-gumdrops 
candy crystallize, can it simplify? 
la-la-la-lollipop-rockets-bubble-gumdrops 
candy crystallize, can it simplify? 

artificial flavours, i can't help but savour 
the sugar so sweet and refined. 
trees see all the colours in droplets of water, 
i could too if i opened my eyes! 
faster and faster, we tuned out the pastor, 
carved names in the pews with our pens. 

la-la-la-lollipop-rockets-bubble-gumdrops 
candy crystallize, can it simplify? 
la-la-la-lollipop-rockets-bubble-gumdrops 
candy crystallize, can it simplify? 

nothings gonna change it... 
gonna change my world. 
nothings gonna change it... 
gonna change my world. 

jackaroo david ain't gonna change my world. 
nothings gonna change it... 
gonna change my world 

change my world, sugar! 
change my world! 

nothings gonna change it... 
gonna change my world. 
nothings gonna change it... 
gonna change my world. 

change it, all the fake shit, 
all the habits that need breaking. 
the ingredients are our making, 
and i'm asking what they're made of. 

it's this percent fructose, 
and this percent aspirin, 
and this percent sucrose, 
and this percent plastic. 
red dye number 5 certified by organic 
government bodies, theres no need to panic. 
it's all going fine, don't you further examine 
why your body feels full, but your soul feels like a famine. 
looking for a shortcut, 
looking for a plan out, 
looking for a hyperlink, 
get me off this planet! 
gravity limits me and i can't stand it! 
make it all sweet, baby, make it all candy! 
anything's mine if i only imagine - 
a kid in a candy store that's diabetic. 
it's all pretty great, but i make it sound tragic - 
make it all sweet, baby, make it all candy! 
make it all sweet, baby, make it all candy! 
cuz we all know that life sucks without la-la-la-la 

la-la-la-lollipop-rockets-bubble-gumdrops 
candy crystallize, can it simplify? 
la-la-la-lollipop-rockets-bubble-gumdrops 
candy crystallize, can it simplify? 

(change my world, sugar! change my world!)

I wanna do nothing
Don't wanna do a thing 
I wanna do nothing 
Don't wanna do a thing

I wanna do something
Don't wanna do a thing 
I said no need to be rushing 
Don't wanna do a thing 

Why you gotta go and take me for granted?

I wanna do nothing
Don't wanna do a thing
I said no need to be rushing 
Don't wanna do a thing
I said i wanna do nothing 
(else baby, nothing else baby, but to sit here and cuddle with you)
I said i wanna do nothing 
(else baby, nothing else baby, but to sit here and just cuddle with you)

I don't want to do a thing 
I don't wanna go to the show
You're not gonna see my face up on the street 
No no (yeah yeah yeah)
I don't want to do a thing 
I don't wanna go to the show
I don't wanna see the people drinking at the cool bar
No no (yeah yeah yeah)
I don't want to do a thing
I don't wanna go to the show
You're not gonna see my face up on the street 
No no

I'm So Bummed Out Right Now

In a world full of micro-influencers, digital grifters, and spon-con hucksters, Vancouver quartet Bealby Point offers a simple promise: what you see is what you get. 

Formed in 2018, the indie rockers have built a sterling reputation thanks to their polished live performances and intricate, approachable songwriting. Drawing inspiration from alt-rock icons including The Strokes, Weezer, Young The Giant, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, the boys’ signature sound centers on big hooks, big solos, and even bigger grooves. While the path forward has been at times rocky, with the four members struggling to navigate the realities of working-class creative life in one of the world’s most expensive cities, the challenges have only brought them closer together.

Brotherly love is the basis for everything Bealby Point does, and their recent sessions are no exception. Produced by their trusted sound engineer JJ Heath, the band’s new material was recorded at the small but stylish studio, Phony Records. Situated across the inlet from where they grew up riding bikes and sneaking beers, the new material, recorded in early 2024, bridges the gap between fantasy and nostalgia, with Armstrong offering a cinematic perspective on the passing of time. Indeed, songs like “Fairytale” and “For Your Time” find Bealby Point basking in a summer sunset, but also increasingly aware of the long shadow that it casts.

Since 2022, the band has built a devoted following in the Greater Vancouver Area, playing sold-out shows at several well-known venues including The Fox Cabaret (April 2022, March 2023), Fortune Sound Club (August 2022), The Rickshaw Theatre (April 2023), and The Pearl (September 2023). They have also taken their show out east for two shows in Toronto during NXNW 2022, and have opened for exciting acts including The Jins, and MONOWHALES. As of February 2023, they have amassed 1,061,964 streams on Spotify.

With their foundation firmly entrenched in their home province, the band is embarking on the next chapter of its career, touring Western Canada through the late spring and early summer. Along the way, they will visit their namesake, just north of Nelson, B.C., to draw inspiration for future material.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Bealby Point wants nothing more than to sit back and enjoy the ride. To chase down a dream on that not-so-distant horizon. They hope you will join them
