Lyrics

I need a check up, 
From the neck up,
I've had these feelings, 
Since my heart went boom!

I've felt elation, 
Tried meditation, 
Opened up the curtains, 
To let light in to the room!

BAD DA BAH DA BAH,   Catch me if… You seen me fallin'
BAH DA BAH DA, Listen out… Incase I'm callin',
BAD DA BAH DA BAH, Hold me close… The night is callin',
BAD DA BAH DA, Don’t let go… The dark is stallin'.

I crossed my fingers, 
Your perfume lingers,
I told you somethings,
Just a little too soon.

You stroked my ego,
Now where do we go,
A sense of panic, 
As you leave the room.

Well holy crap,
I've been living in denial, 
I didn't hear the lies,
Hidden by your smile.

I feel mistreated, 
The fact you cheated,
I must admit,
You did it with style.

BAD DA BAH DA BAH,   Catch me if… You seen me fallin'
BAH DA BAH DA, Listen out… Incase I'm callin',
BAD DA BAH DA BAH, Hold me close… The night is callin',
BAD DA BAH DA, Don’t let go… The dark is stallin'.

Holding on,
While I'm acting frantic, 
It ain't my fault, 
If I've got monkeys in the attic. 
I need a check up,
From the neck up,
I've had these feelings, 
Since my heart went boom!

CHECK UP, FROM THE NECK UP!" is a raw and raucous burst of punk energy,  a headrush of riffs, regret, and emotional mayhem. With sharp lyrics, a pounding chorus, and enough angst to rattle the rafters, this track dives into heartbreak, denial, and that creeping sense you're losing your grip. If you’ve ever felt like your brain needs a service after your heart takes a hit — this one's for you.

Turn it up, shout it loud, and hold on tight — it’s punk therapy, DC Sound Project style.

CHECK UP, FROM THE NECK UP!

🎵 Original Music from Wirral, UK | Phil Dutton & Les Corlett AKA The DC Sound Project

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.
