Viola Beach!!!!!!!!! Love this vibe. Great vocals

I love it, reminds me a bit of primus totally dig it

Incoherent raving multicoloured on the walls
Cries for help that no-one hears above their own fall
Stained grey stones and broken bones, ignore every shout
Shuttered lives, sharpened knives, where’s the way out?

Seems like it’s there,
A nobody, in a place you don’t know.
But this is here,
A somebody, in the place you call home

Come on and show me
What you embody
Don’t say you’re sorry
If you always will be
Wake up! ...
… this is not a drill

Peeling paint, a silent taint, behind every door
Stumbling round in broken shells, can’t fight any more
Walking past, broken glass, the shards in my mind
Black marks from my boots upon the pavement left behind

Seems like it’s there,
A nobody, in a place you don’t know.
But this is here,
A somebody, in the place you call home

Come on and show me
What you embody
Don’t say you’re sorry
If you always will be
Wake up! ...
… this is not a drill

This Is Not A Drill

Will they, or won’t they? What did you take from it?
Do say, or don’t say, but get it out the way. 
Maybe, just maybe, you keep me hanging on, 
Don’t take this the wrong way, but even we can see it, clear as day…

But it’s the same thing that happens every day, 
All the time they’re edging closer, then they back away,
Just a little step from going all the way,
Will they or won’t they? 

Will they or won’t they? You aren’t the only one
My way or the highway, the same as anyone
More luck than yesterday? Nothing to come undone
Who labelled us this way? Our time has just begun…

They’re drawn closer together, then they pull away, 
They’re thinking the same things, but feeling scared to say,
But they’re both afraid to take a step away, 
Will they or won’t they? 

Will they or won’t they, at the same time,
Walk through the doorway, I’m getting sick and tired
Will they or won’t they, no there’s nothing else
Prices we won’t pay, [or will we?]

But it’s the same thing that happens every day, 
All the time they’re edging closer, then they back away,
Just a little step from going all the way,
Will they or won’t they?

Will They Or Won't They

Oooooohhhhhhh can’t you see
This can never be
I belong to me
(and) I won’t go quietly
Into your 
Moulded for your
Boxed inside your

Spoken word part:

Do we really need to allocate everything to neat little groups?
Including ourselves?
What is it about our uniqueness that scares you?
The upside-down fork in the cutlery drawer
That discordant note
The outlier on the graph spoiling the clean line
We are all outliers on different graphs

This is my original song about a story that is told in Liverpool and I wanted to create my own version as I feel it represents many of the people in Liverpool

A song about breath taking love...or is it a breath too far?

Lyrics
You’ve been throwing words away like confetti on a grave
cos when you had a chance to wait but instead you got laid
now you’re so low and so down with no smile for a frown
but still Jumping up and down to stop the world spinning around

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe through me

You take your pills for your pain and drank hope for your pleasure
keep faking smiles in the rain cos no one can measure
all the bills in your hands and full holes in your pockets
while the lost friends you owned won’t let you stop it

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe through me

You swear yesterday’s plans are just tomorrows new regrets
and that worthless fools words get too easily spent
our best intentions have flown left no nest to be grown
cos you can’t teach an old dog to get blood from a stone

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe…Just breathe
Breathe…please breathe
Breathe…
Breathe…Just breathe
Breathe…please breathe
Breathe…
Breathe…Just breathe
Breathe…please breathe
Breathe…breathe through me
Breathe…breathe through me
Breathe…just through me
Breathe…only through me
Breathe…breathe through me
