[Verse 1]
I've got no problem with that backseat loving
As long as its with you
We're on the run from everyone
The Crazy Six and the men with guns
And they won't rest until we're through
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm alright, 'cause here tonight
We're living it up won't ever give up, one goal in mind
When you lean in, I feel your skin
And then you say to me softly...
[Chorus]
Tonight!
Push down the pedal and put our love in
Overdrive!
The need for each other is all that we have
Tonight!
Push down the pedal and put our love in
Overdrive!
[Verse 2]
The neon skyline ends when we see coastline
Prophecy's come true
No other choice now, but to do it
Hold my hand girl we'll get through this
There's nothing else that we can do
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm alright, 'cause here tonight
We're living it up won't ever give up, one goal in mind
When you lean in, I feel your skin
And then you say to me softly...
[Chorus]
Tonight!
Push down the pedal and put our love in
Overdrive!
The need for each other is all that we have
Tonight!
Push down the pedal and put our love in
Overdrive!
[Instrumental Bridge and Keytar Solo]
[Chorus]
Tonight!
Push down the pedal and put our love in
Overdrive!
The need for each other is all that we have
Tonight!
Push down the pedal and put our love in
Overdrive!

[Verse 1]
I don't know why
You said to me girl
I can't live without you baby
But I wanna be free
How do I respond
To something that blonde
Or is it these mixed signals
That turn me on?
[Verse 1.5]
Oh my god, I think she might be the one
Wait what? Hold on. Whatcha mean you don't like my songs?
And Oh, Oh no! Well this just might fall apart
You're as hard to read as a book at night
So come on baby, shine some light
[PreChorus]
Well you know it ain't right
But you know it ain't quite wrong
Looking me in the eyes and leading my heart on
All I ever want is a nice girl to come along
I thought that you might be the right one
But just as I think you're mine you simply turn and run
[Chorus]
You know it's on my mind
Frankly it's all the time
Wondering if you are mine
Won't ya just give me some kind of sign?
True love is on the left
Heartbreak is on the right
I don't even care this time
So come on baby and pick a side!
Don't you try to walk all over my Sunday
You just got gotta go!
(If you're nothing but talk than use the Sidewalk)
I won't be frowning waking up on my Monday
Knowing we're both alone!
(If you're nothing but talk than use the Sidewalk)
[Verse 2]
I've got lots of friends
Telling me to steer clear
But then you show up on a Friday night
And you're wearing that dress, oh dear
And I can't think straight
'Cause you're body's moving
And then you whisper into my ear:
"Hey, come here, meet my boyfriend."
(What??)
[Verse 2.5]
Oh my god, I think she might be the one
Wait what? Hold on. Whatcha mean you don't like my songs?
And Oh, Oh no! Well this just might fall apart
You're as hard to read as a book at night
So come on baby, shine some light
[PreChorus]
Well you know it ain't right
But you know it ain't quite wrong
Looking me in the eyes and leading my heart on
All I ever want is a nice girl to come along
I thought that you might be the right one
But just as I think you're mine you simply turn and run
[Chorus]
You know it's on my mind
Frankly it's all the time
Wondering if you are mine
Won't ya just give me some kind of sign?
True love is on the left
Heartbreak is on the right
I don't even care this time
So come on baby and pick a side!
Don't you try to walk all over my Sunday
You just got gotta go!
(If you're nothing but talk than use the Sidewalk)
I won't be frowning waking up on my Monday
Knowing we're both alone!
(If you're nothing but talk than use the Sidewalk)
[Bridge]
If you're nothing but talk then use the Sidewalk
Get out of my lane if you think I'm insane
If you wanna carpool that's cool
But if you're acting like a child I'm gonna drop you off at school
[PreChorus]
Well you know it ain't right
But you know it ain't quite wrong
Looking me in the eyes and leading my heart on
All I ever want is a nice girl to come along
I thought that you might be the right one
But just as I think you're mine you simply turn and run
[Chorus]
You know it's on my mind
Frankly it's all the time
Wondering if you are mine
Won't ya just give me some kind of sign?
True love is on the left
Heartbreak is on the right
I don't even care this time
So come on baby and pick a side!
Don't you try to walk all over my Sunday
You just got gotta go!
(If you're nothing but talk than use the Sidewalk)
I won't be frowning waking up on my Monday
Knowing we're both alone!
(If you're nothing but talk than use the Sidewalk)
What!?

[Verse 1]
Well I've been loving you
It's backwards, but it's something
For you, the same ain't true
'Cause I cannot find your loving
I'm calling you back
But the other line is silent
And that kind of cold, it fills my bones
And makes me feel I'm far from home
And like you're lying
Well, let me tell ya!
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you say you love me
Don't you say you care
Don't you tell me nothing that you think I wanna hear
I don't believe in you girl
I don't believe a word
And you're gonna know what it means to hurt
[Chorus]
'Cause Darling, Darling, I'm sorry that you're falling
But don't you come to me now
And Dear, Oh Dear, I'm so sorry to hear
That you've changed your mind now
And as the West Wind blows in the Summer Sun
You'll realize you wanna be (with me)
But its too late, too late
You're Love is Like a Lone Wolf right now
[Verse 2]
I gotta go
I just gotta be off now
Yeah I'll hit the road
And I'll forget about you somehow
I don't know what's true
And I don't really care no more
There's just one thing left to do
Let me show you to the door
Well let me tell ya!
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you say you love me
Don't you say you care
Don't you tell me nothing that you think I wanna hear
I don't believe in you girl
I don't believe a word
And you're gonna know what it means to hurt
[Chorus]
'Cause Darling, Darling, I'm sorry that you're falling
But don't you come to me now
And Dear, Oh Dear, I'm so sorry to hear
That you've changed your mind now
And as the West Wind blows in the Summer Sun
You'll realize you wanna be (with me)
But its too late, too late
You're Love is Like a Lone Wolf right now
Right now. Right now. Right now. I wanna get it tonight
[Synth Solo]
[Chorus]
'Cause Darling, Darling, I'm sorry that you're falling
But don't you come to me now
And Dear, Oh Dear, I'm so sorry to hear
That you've changed your mind now
And as the West Wind blows in the Summer Sun
You'll realize you wanna be (with me)
But its too late, too late
You're Love is Like a Lone Wolf right now

A Little Story

[Chorus] Well let me tell you a little story about a girl I knew,
She had a long way to go that's how you know it's true.
She's the only one that made me feel alright,
But I never knew where she was gonna be at night baby!
A little story about a boy I knew,
He met a girl and he didn't know what to do.
She's a butcher and a queen, and America too,
And she's the one that brought me to you.
And she said:
[Verse] "Hello! Come in! Should we do it again?"
That's when, I said: "Miss, now let's get something right!"
Well let me tell you a little story about a girl I knew,
She had a long way to go that's how you know it's true.
She's the only one that made me feel alright,
But I never knew where she was gonna be at night, baby!
A little story about a boy I knew,
He met a girl and he didn't know what to do.
She's a butcher and a queen, and America too,
And she's the one that brought me to you.
And she said:
[Instrumental Break and Inaudible Nonsense]
[Chorus]
[Verse]
And she said:
"I still love you baby! You're the only one for me, yeah."
Well if I told you once, I've told you twice, I'm better off just being me.
And if I told you once, I told you twice, get your hands right off of me!
Oh baby just let me be free!
Well let me tell you a little story about a girl I knew,
She had a long way to go that's how you know it's true.
She's the only one that made me feel alright,
But I never knew where she was gonna be at night, baby!
A little story about a boy I knew,
He met a girl and he didn't know what to do.
She's a butcher and a queen, and America too,
And she's the one that brought me to you.

[Verse 1]
I don't know what to say about it,
There seems to be excitement in the air.
Thought I knew how I felt about ya,
But now I'm sure I don't know much at all.
And when you sit beside me during those long table readings,
Or when we practice lifts down in the pond.
I get the feeling it's not just my heart that's beating.
I wanna tell you, but how will you respond?
[Chorus]
Oh Jenni! You don't know what to say to me say, you don't know what to say to me now do you do you do you baby? x4
[Verse 2]
Just can't believe this is happening to us,
It's our characters that are supposed to fall in love.
Ever since I saw you on the set of Red Dawn,
Well I knew that it was you I'd be thinking of.
So I won't ever put you in the corner baby,
As long as that's what you want me to do, yeah yeah.
Just give me a sign, and let me know you're my lady,
And all of that gossip about you and Charlie is through.
[Chorus]
Oh Jenni! You don't know what to say to me say, you don't know what to say to me now do you do you do you baby? x4
[Bridge]
And I feel like I'm a loner,
In a place where I don't belong.
You've gotta give me some kind of sign, girl.
Give me hope, keep me hanging on.
[Chorus]
Oh Jenni! You don't know what to say to me say, you don't know what to say to me now do you do you do you baby? x8

[Verse 1]
Full stop. Nice top. Hang around 'till the hook drops.
You look like you're looking for trouble and that's me.
Last call. Free for all. To ride this you must be this tall.
But you ain't got no problem with that I see.
Well it's been nice just sitting here chatting,
But is it me or have we got things to do.
We could just let the night pass gums a'flapping.
But I think there might be a better way to get to know you.
[Prechorus]
And now we're back at my place, something's in the air.
There's a flame and you're running your fingers through my hair.
You got that itty-bitty waist that brings a smile up to my face and now we're swinging like we couldn't care.
But then you say that word and it spoils all the fun.
[Chorus]
Well I'm sorry babe but I don't believe in love.
Once you get you some, you just can't get enough.
And I do believe we'd all be better off,
If we all agreed there's just no such thing as love.
I just don't believe in love.
[Verse 2]
Murder, heartache, death, war. Love can be the cause, don't you gimme what for!
Helen of Troy, Shakespeare's Boy, You and Me.
Caesar, Antony, Cleopatra. How many tragedies must I throw at ya?
You don't want no problem with that you see?
[Prechorus]
And now we're back at my place, something's in the air.
There's a flame and you're running your fingers through my hair.
You got that itty-bitty waist that brings a smile up to my face and now we're swinging like we couldn't care.
But then you say that word and it spoils all the fun.
[Chorus]
Well I'm sorry babe but I don't believe in love.
Once you get you some, you just can't get enough.
But that doesn't mean I don't wanna get you off,
Just wish we'd all agree there's just no such thing as love.
I just don't believe in love.
[Bridge]
Don't try to change me baby, I know my mind.
You're efforts to convert me, just a waste of time.
Seen enough of this old world, to plainly see-
Love it just ain't all it's cracked up to be.
Don't try to change me baby, I know my mind.
You're efforts to convert me, just a waste of time.
Seen enough of this old world, to plainly see-
Love it just ain't all it's cracked up to be.
Now let me think to myself, think to myself, think to myself now.
I don't know why I'm thinking 'bout it, why I'm thinking 'bout it, why I'm thinking 'bout it now!
Ooooh well it does seem appealing now doesn't it?
And I'm thinking: "Huh...Nah haha!"
[Chorus]
Well I'm sorry babe but I don't believe in love.
Once you get you some, you just can't get enough.
But that doesn't mean I don't wanna get you off,
Just wish we'd all agree there's just no such thing as love.
I just don't believe in love.
Well I'm sorry babe but I don't believe in love.
Once you get you some, you just can't get enough.
But that doesn't mean I don't wanna get you off,
Just wish we'd all agree there's just no such thing as love.
I just don't believe in love.

[Patrick]
I see the lightning, hear the thunder.
That's not the way things used to be.
I used to sit and stair and wonder,
"Is this all life has in store for me?"
It came upon me on a cold Hallow's Eve.
It gave me everything a god could need.
And I believe it's coming back this way.
There is a current in the water
To restore the way things were back then.
Before The Fake came down and got us.
Before we split into us and them.
And I can feel it on its way back here.
You may not like it, but you'll face your fear.
'Cause I believe it's coming back–The Sway.
[The Kid]
I believe that I can't fight this funky feeling,
I've got to be believing, I've got to know.
I said, I believe that I can you unite the minds of reason,
With a heart and soul of feeling, I've got to try.
I believe that I can't fight this funky feeling,
I've got to be believing, I've got to know.
I said, I believe that I can unite the minds of reason,
With a heart and soul of feeling. I've got to try.
Oh! Are you sure that I'm the guy!?
If you say it's true, if you say that it is so...
Then you know, that I'll try.
BEGIN.
Oh! Are you sure that I'm the guy!?
If you say it's true, if you say that it is so...

I said, I believe that I can you unite the minds of reason,

I believe that I can't fight this funky feeling,
I've got to be believing, I've got to know.

With a heart and soul of feeling. I've got to try.

I’ve always loved the funky side of Alpha. But the dark, wonderfully creepy ballads shine on this album! Tracks like Snuff ‘Em Out (my fav thx to a vid Alpha shared last month), Veins or Meat Ribbons are amazing. Synthwave sounds stale to me lately because of similar sound, omnipresent arpeggiators, weak melodies and basic harmonic structure, but Alpha’s unusual chord progressions as well as comparatively exotic melodies entertain me. I’ll be returning to this EP a lot; happy for the cas
