The Holdup - Back Then

Iration http://irationmusic.com

This is an EP with four songs that displayed the direction of Iration music for the years 2008/0.  Falling was a great success for us but each of the songs found it's own success.  Recorded, mixed and mastered over a three week period the album displays the diversity of style and musicality of the band.

I'm With You

You’ve seen her at a party, she’s doing her rounds 
She likes to get it started, she likes to get loud 
She’s poppin that champagne, she’s taking shots down 
She’s living for the moment, 

She’s a time bomb, trying to take you out, 
The ticking of her heart is the only sound 
She’s a time bomb, about to detonate 
You try to cut her wires but you’re way too late 

Whisky stain on her dress now, she’s wearing it proud 
And there’s nothing you can tell her, cuz she’s starting to shout 
Now she’s spraying that champagne, all over the crowd 
She’s living for the moment 


She’s a time bomb, trying to take you out, 
The ticking of her heart is the only sound 
She’s a time bomb, about to detonate 
You try to cut her wires but you’re way too late

Time Bomb

You, I think it was half past 3 
You spilled your Jim and Coke on me 
Left the party half past 4 
Had to sneak into your dorm 
Left before the sun had shown 
Trippin all over your clothes 
As I shut the door to 213 
I heard your voice from the bed say… 

(Chorus) 
Get back to me, Get back to me 
I’m waiting for you to 
Get back to me, Get Back to me 
I’m waiting for you 

I always living on the fly 
Used to think about you and I 
Hoping someday that we could be 
I'm thinking that some day we should be 
You 
I'm tired of wasting time 
You probably found another guy 
And now I'm messaging your iPhone 
Because you're in another time zone

Get Back To Me

We met at a concert 
You were wearing converse 
I'm not good at playing it cool 
You said I was funny 
I spent all my money 
Then your friend got thrown in the pool 
When we said goodbye 
Know that I can't lie 
I never thought I'd see you again 
Man was I mistaken 
Now my heart is taken 
It's too hard to comprehend 

(Chorus) 
That I'm falling 
Hoping that you feel this way too 
Said I'm falling 
Sitting here waiting for you 

Expert of illusion 
I just kept to using 
Thought I had it all worked out 
Love was just a stage name 
Watched it as it became 
Something I could live without 
Then to my surprise 
You opened my eyes 
I thought I was empty inside 
Now every time you're near 
Stormy skies become clear 
Now there’s nowhere left to hide
