Shot of You is one of VFI earliest songs but is still a fan favourite.

Lyrics_ Shot of You

I feel so sick, have you seen the list of drugs I’m trying to kick
Think I’m allergic to the light, 
because I only feel safe outside right after midnight

My skin it rips and then it tears, 
it’s gonna take a silver bullet to recover and repair
You put me six feet in the ground, 
only a stake and holy cross is gonna stop me coming ‘round

I can’t get shot of you, 
I can’t get shot of you, 
I can’t get shot of you wooaahhh
No, no, no

I’ve learnt to move without a sound,
 only a haunting whisper tells you I’m around
But I can’t move on, until they open the gates and I admit that I was wrong

But I can’t get shot of you, 
I can’t get shot of you, I can’t get shot of you, 
I can’t get shot shot shot shot

Aaahhh, aaaaaahhh, aaaaaaahhhhhhh, aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I can’t get shot of you, 
I can’t get shot of you, 
I can’t get shot of you, 
I can’t get shot shot shot of you. 


Shot of You

This is the first single from the forthcoming album Leisureland (released 27th February 2012) 

Lyrics_
6-Day Weekend

The clock blinks, it’s five to five, for seven hours I’ve done nothing but sit dreaming,
I’ve been dreaming, dreaming of the outside

No chains bind me, but I feel captive, since I started this job, I’ve been sliding backwards, going backwards into purgatory…

It’s not the way I wanna go, it’s not the way I want to spend
The days between Mondays and a-Fridays, I wanna get myself a 6-day weekend

So I’m happy to earn a living, but don’t think for a minute that I like it, the pay is lousy and the other guy’s a bit weird
It’ like watching whole days go by in binary

It’s not the way I wanna go, it’s not the way I want to spend
The days between Mondays and a-Fridays, I wanna get myself a 6-day weekend

The more you take out of my pocket the more I suspect,
You’ve got your hands on more than just my pockets

La la la la la la la la la la la la laaaa, La la la la la la la la la la la la laaaa,
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

It’s not the way I wanna go, it’s not the way I want to spend
The day’s between Monday and a-Friday, I’m gonna get myself a 6-day weekend

So we’re penned in, tethered to our posts, I don’t wanna be treated like an animal, I don’t wanna be treated like a ghost, but every time you walk to me you walk right through me,

It’s not the way I wanna go, it’s not the way I want to spend,
The days between Monday and a-Friday I’m gonna get myself a 6-day weekend





With Any Luck - Leisureland

This is Square Eyes, you may recognise it as we released as a single in late 2010. However this is a new version re-recorded for our forthcoming debut album Leisureland (released officially 27.02.12) on Nrone Records and Clear Talent Media.

Square Eyes - Lyrics

My muscles twitch in an impulsive arc, 
as the eyes go square when the music starts
I’m concentrating on leveling up, 
but I’ve burnt the back of my retina

I need something to occupy my hands 
with my 25 second attention….

I’ve been packed with a hundred visions, 
like a money-off, half-price healthier competition
Pixelated and X-rated, been tuned in to every station…

I  need something to occupy my hands 
with my 25 second attention span

Stick to the point, don’t think I can, 
with my 25 second attention,

3 minutes longer and I’ll just turn off, 
your stories boring will it ever stop,
I flick between my interests, 
like I’m backing all the outcomes and hedging bets

I need something to occupy my hands 
with my 25 second attention span

Stick to the point, don’t think I can, 
with my 25 second attention,

‘Cos there’s nothing going on, 
not a single thing to focus on

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba baa ba baa ba baa 
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba baa ba baa ba baa wooooahhhh

Stick to the point don’t think I can, 
with my 25 second attention, 
with my 25 second attention, 
‘cos I got bored now I’ve lost the connection.

Square Eyes  - Leisureland

From the album Leisureland by the Norwich band VFI. 
Leisureland available from NR One records.

Lyrics_ Dissapeared

I’ve left enough of myself in here, 
inflicted on the minds of the impressionable
I’ll wait silhouetted in the background, 
like a ghost from the past who’s just not faded away
And after the third drink he said he never had kicks in, 
he weaves a helix up the corridor, she’s left silhouetted in the background, 
like a ghost from the past who’s just not faded away

Sent up in smoke we’ve disappeared, no long goodbyes see you next year

Super superstitions left my dry in the rain, but hope alone is not invincible
There’s a ghost silhouetted in the gaslight, 
who’s got a plan to try and cut me from my dreams
I don’t need a mirror for reflection, 
‘cos I can see that the shadow’s creeping nearer
There’s a ghost silhouetted in the lamplight, 
who’s got a plan to try and cut me from my dreams

Sent up in smoke we’ve disappeared, 
no long goodbyes see you next year,
Sent up in smoke we’ve disappeared

You raised the bar with your standards of deception, 
you win awards for your cold-war relations, ooooohhh

Sent up in smoke we’ve disappeared, no long goodbyes see you next year
Sent up in smoke we’ve disappeared, disappeared, disappeared, disappeared

He twists, he weaves, a helix up the corridor, 
and stalks the streets for memories of something more, 
He twists, he weaves, a helix up the corridor and stalks the streets 
for memories of something more, 
He twists, he weaves a helix up the corridor 
and stalks the streets for memories of something more, 
He twists, he weaves a helix up the corridor 
and stalks the streets for memories of something more, 
memories of something more.

_Six Day Weekend

The clock blinks, it’s five to five, for seven hours I’ve done nothing but sit dreaming,
I’ve been dreaming, dreaming of the outside

No chains bind me, but I feel captive, since I started this job, 
I’ve been sliding backwards, 
going backwards into purgatory…

It’s not the way I wanna go, 
it’s not the way I want to spend
The days between Mondays and a-Fridays, 
I wanna get myself a 6-day weekend

So I’m happy to earn a living, but don’t think for a minute that I like it,
the pay is lousy and the other guy’s a bit weird
It’ like watching whole days go by in binary

It’s not the way I wanna go, 
it’s not the way I want to spend
The days between Mondays and a-Fridays, 
I wanna get myself a 6-day weekend

The more you take out of my pocket the more I suspect,
You’ve got your hands on more than just my pockets

La la la la la la la la la la la la laaaa, La la la la la la la la la la la la laaaa,
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

It’s not the way I wanna go, 
it’s not the way I want to spend
The day’s between Monday and a-Friday, 
I’m gonna get myself a 6-day weekend

So we’re penned in, tethered to our posts, 
I don’t wanna be treated like an animal,
I don’t wanna be treated like a ghost, 
but every time you walk to me you walk right through me,

It’s not the way I wanna go, 
it’s not the way I want to spend,
The days between Monday and a-Friday 
I’m gonna get myself a 6-day weekend

Vegas Fame Index - "Checking in somewhere between Supergrass, early Oasis and Queens of the Stone Age its rip roaring rock and roll"   
"VFI's album Leisureland rattles along at lightning pace recalling a blitzkrieg Arctic Monkeys raised solely on the mid spot between on Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The La’s"
