The new single from Louis And The Shakes. OUT NOW.

LYRICS:

When you flick through your catalogue of past lovers,  my blood boils and my toes curl
I act like I don't want to know.
But my heads saying 'you need to discover all of his tricks that made her tick and how he became her world. You need to know.' I've got to know.

The joke you're not letting me in on. Was he hung like a horse of course he was well endowed. 
Might as well throw in the towel

The polaroid album under the bed is the portal to all their happy memories
He said all the right things
I put my self-esteem on snooze

His Mozza quiff and suave charm
He was built like a brick-house with his Popeye arms oh no. Now he's swimming round in my booze.
I bet he massaged you all the time. 
His emoji game was better than mine alright 
I'd never of let him go if I was in her shoes...
 
I only have myself to blame
Lady Envy has got a hold on me
She won't even remember my name
When she ditches me for Mr 6Ft 3'
I only have myself to blame
Lady Envy has got a hold on me
She won't even remember my name
When she ditches me for Mr 6Ft 3'

Paralysis By Analysis

Holograms

I hear the voices inside my head
Telling me that you're the only one
Whispering to me I'll never find someone like you
Oh that day we fell in love

Now you kill me slow
When you say that It's over

I'm a casualty I'm a casualty 
For the love I gave to you
For the voices in my head
I'm a casualty I'm a casualty 
For the love I gave to you
For the voices in my head

Inside my head
Inside my head

I will never know your love again
I will never kiss your lips that taste like lilac wine
Oh how we used to make love till the early light of day
Curse the day we fell in
Curse the day we fell in
Curse the day we fell in love

Now you kill me slow
When you say that it's over

I'm a casualty I'm a casualty 
For the love I gave to you
For the voices in my head
I'm a casualty I'm a casualty 
For the love I gave to you
For the voices in my head

Will I ever see your face again
Will I ever hold you 'till the sun begins to rise
Will I ever see your smile again
Oh how we used to
Oh how we used to

I'm a casualty I'm a casualty
For the love I gave to you
For the voices in my head
I'm a casualty I'm a casualty
For the love I gave to you
For the voices in my head

I don't know if I'll be alright
I don't know anything I've been told
I don't know I don't know anymore
Mmmmmm

Back Again

Strangers In A Nightclub
Loose Buttons
Something Better
2020

////////////////

Sporting a redcoat with his right hand stamped
All through the night he is pounding out his theme song 
In the search for something better lately
Selling sinking ships and brake-less cars to all the weekend hoppers, 
Should I say something?
Showed up to the nightclub on a space age train
Pomade in his hair and grease on his dead leg
Winning races, didn’t even bother running
Still a shoulder for the friends of all the sunken children 

Step inside the circle
Don’t know him, and I don’t know
How anyone can tear apart two
Strangers in a nightclub

Behind the counter she's been mixing and fidgeting the thoughts out of her hair
Venom spews from her snakeskin boots, a narcissistic guru in training
Sporting retro-future, she’s a talker
Dabbled in Gothic erotica, you know 
She can dine with his fetishes and have a feast 
Near the head of a murdered deer

Step inside the circle
Don’t know her, and I don’t know
How anyone can tear apart two
Strangers in a nightclub

It’s just my imagination
Strangers I'm creating
But I don’t really care to talk about
Strangers 

Step inside the circle
Don’t know them, and I don’t know
How anyone could tear apart two
Strangers in a nightclub
