Say What you need to say I may already know And it’s all too late You It was always you Who kept me sane As I disintegrate Change A change is going to come someday Wrapped around a vapour veil I love you in my own strange way I always did and I always may Your tired eyes Don’t lie And hearts can change It’s all over your face And I I’m in my finest hour Still not high enough To feel nothing at all Change A change is going to come someday Wrapped around a vapour veil I love you in my own strange way I always did and I always may A change is going to come someday All the promises that I’ve made I love you in my own strange way We’ll vanish in a vapour veil Change A change is going to come someday Wrapped around a vapour veil I love you in my own strange way I always did and I always may A change is going to come someday All the promises that I’ve made I love you in my own strange way We’ll vanish in a vapour veil Vapour veils

Live Forever 04:17
It’s Friday night and we’re out again Claiming that youth is ours We run the streets and search for the high And we only come out at night That’s what we do, me and you What else can we do But dance and drink and screw? Wild hearts Forever young Living the dream together And you and I, we’re gonna live forever Wild hearts Forever young Living the dream together And you and I, we’re gonna live forever The ecstasy runs a mile in my head Turning me into a better man And I don’t waste my life on regrets This is as good as it gets There’s a rave going down somewhere Let’s split a cab that’ll take us there Wasted youth, that’s what they call us Melina come on, the night’s still young Wild hearts Forever young Living the dream together And you and I, we’re gonna live forever Wild hearts Forever young Living the dream together And you and I, we’re gonna live forever I’m 28 with no place of my own ‘Cause I can’t afford to buy me a home I’m out of my game and you’re out my league But you smile at me with all your perfect teeth Wild hearts Forever young Living the dream together And you and I, we’re gonna live forever Wild hearts Forever young Living the dream together And you and I, we’re gonna live forever

Mistakes 03:51
I wanted to study and get a job that wouldn’t enslave me Instead I’m working in a bar and write songs about nothing You spend your days making the money roll and your weekends in Margate Middleclass dads who drug it up to give their weekends some meaning You’ll never see it No, you’ll never understand Every little thing I never said Every little thing I never did Everything I can’t do again Here’s to my mistakes Every little thing that I did say Every little thing that I did Everything that can’t be unmade Here’s to my mistakes I drink too much these days, oh I know, or so she tells me I wanted a beautiful wife and kids who would adore me Hearts I broke and lips I kissed, a friend I never called We take the drugs to make us numb and feel nothing at all You’ll never see it No, you’ll never understand Every little thing I never said Every little thing I never did Everything I can’t do again Here’s to my mistakes Every little thing that I did say Every little thing that I did Everything that can’t be unmade Here’s to my mistakes Every little thing I never said Every little thing I never did Everything I can’t do again Here’s to my mistakes Every little thing that I did say Every little thing that I did Everything that can’t be unmade Here’s to my mistakes

I’ve slept on your side of our bed Since you packed your things and went away And in the mornings I still make coffee for two And drink it all up, what else can I do? And waste my time on Instagram Reminiscing what once was Morrissey knew what he was talking about I am human and I need to be loved It’s oh so true I am human and I need to be loved Just like you I am human and I need to be loved I ran into your best friend last night She said that you’re doing fine But that’s not what I want to hear I want to hear that you want me near That you long for me, that you’re missing me That I am all you want and need Morrissey sure, he put it right There is a light that never goes out It’s oh so true I am human and I need to be loved Just like you I am human and I need to be loved It’s oh so true I am human and I need to be loved Just like you I am human and I need to be loved And suddenly In front of me It hurts with every heartbeat You’re holding hands Who is he With dyed black hair and skinny jeans? Go, go, go, go! Just go away I want to kick him in the head And how it hurts It hurts so bad Will I ever find love again? It’s oh so true I am human and I need to be loved Just like you I am human and I need to be loved What difference does it make? Heaven knows I’m miserable now I’ve got a thorn in my side There’s a light that never goes out Half a person asleep Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me There’s a light that never goes out I’m human and I need to be loved

October 06:28
October leaves us And the colours fade Nothing lasts forever Are we fading the same? I put out my cigarette Nothing needs to be said You are so sacred And I am your autumn slave I think you are safer with me in here Do you believe in love? Do you believe in us? Am I the one you want? Do you believe in love? Do you believe in us? In here we’re safe from harm Do you believe In you and me? Have we found true love? Do you believe in love? Do you believe in us? Am I the one you want? I awake by your kiss As you get out of bed You take your morning shower And then I watch you get dressed You put on some make up and you brush your hair You drink your morning coffee And then you disappear I think you are safer with me here Do you believe in love? Do you believe in us? Am I the one you want? Do you believe in love? Do you believe in us? In here we’re safe from harm Do you believe In you and me? Have we found true love? Do you believe in love? Do you believe in us? Am I the one you want? Do you believe in love? Do you believe in us? In here we’re safe from harm Do you believe in love? Do you believe in us? Am I the one you want?

Modern Love 05:25
Another Monday morning on the central line I swear to God, one day I’ll ride to heaven on it And the days go by as I swipe from left to right And dance the nights away in the lonely lights Everything has its time but mine’s just passing by I know that I’ve changed I’m not the same anymore And I know as the world turns We’ve been here before She said, it’s in my northern soul I need to find something more than love A modern love I’m not looking for a lover or a new friend I just want someone who will want me in the same way I want to change my clothes and my face and my hair I want to change this body and my lack of savoir faire And I don’t want to go home ‘cause there’s nothing for me there I know that I’ve changed I’m not the same anymore I know that I need To move along She said it’s in my northern soul I need to find something more than love A modern love I know that I’ve changed I’m not the same anymore I know that I need To move along She said it’s in my northern soul I need to find something more than love A modern love

Underneath the words Beyond the truth Promises I made And a wasted youth If I could change Just one thing But with all the things I did What difference would it make? I remember things that never should have been And I have forgotten anyone who ever called me a friend I hide away In the shadows Like a vapour veil In the shadows I hide away In the shadows Like a vapour veil An unknown number appears On a broken screen Tears up a rift Into eternity And the ravage of time Tear us down Corrode us apart Into the unknown Down in the darkness burns a flame for eternity But here and now is all that matters to me In the shadows I hide away In the shadows Like a vapour veil In the shadows I hide away In the shadows Like a vapour veil In the shadows Shadows Shadows In the shadows I hide away Shadows Shadows Shadows Shadows In the shadows Like a vapour veil In the shadows I hide away In the shadows Like a vapour veil

Eleanor 04:27
I saw you last night In your babys arms Standing in the lights Looking upper class You didn’t see me Or recognized me I guess the years Haven’t shown me mercy You’ve come a long way, I can tell From the council estates that we called hell You were the girl who wore glasses And once upon a time you had a crush on me Eleanor I know your name Eleanor I wanted to say 'hi' But I said nothing at all I didn't want to embarrass you And maybe you don't want to recall About the shit hole Where we grew up You've got finer friends now Much finer than I'll ever know You've come a long way, I can tell From the council estates that we called hell You were the girl who wore glasses And once upon a time you had a crush on me Eleanor I know your name Eleanor And as the band kept playing ´The Last Hurrah’ You walked out through the door You've traded a life in the council estates for finer friends and champagne But to me you'll stay the same Eleanor I know your name Eleanor I'm glad you came Eleanor As you walk out, through the door I remember years ago You were my first kiss Back in the council estates To me you're still the same Eleanor

She’s in my bed again I promised myself she wouldn’t be But she was alone and needed someone So I let her come and confide in me And when morning comes She just leaves me all on my own With a bitter taste of Something that I can never have I just want to show That I am for real I want you to know Just how I feel How we could be Dancing slow, cheek to cheek I pull you so close to feel each breath that you take So you’re back for another night? Don’t you know that I’m down for life? They say true love waits for those Who believe with open hearts I want to believe it I’m down on my knees, and I want to know how true love feels I just want to show That I am for real I want you to know Just how I feel I just need to know If this is for real I just want to know How true love feels How true love feels You You are my lover We hide under the covers And leave this cruel, cruel world outside You You offer me affection I offer you protection From the world outside You You give my life a meaning I give your life a reason For forever and tonight I lost myself believing in love And you lost yourself in too much hurt We lost our selves… Is this love? Is this what you need? Is this what I want? Is this what you get when you mess with love?

about

"Their first full length album, 'The Last Hurrah', has gone straight into our hearts: it is a decalouge of innocent arrogance which they moisten the atmosphere with where these melodic calls to love resonate."
Sound & Vision, 10/27/2022

"This top Stockholm band has quickly become a favourite...just listen to them, and tell me if you don't think this is great"
Cloudberry Cake,10/14/2022

"This could very well be the album of the year"
Your Everyday Record, 11/10/2022

"A refreshing and beguiling shard of indie rock epic that melds the poignant of the Smiths with the vibrancy of the Buzzcocks and emotive intensity of Marion, overflowing with an electrifying passion that soars with radiant energy and sweeping wistfulness"
White Light//White Heat, 09/20/2022

"I love their unbridled energy"
Life Elsewhere, 09/21/2022
