Hey everyone. As you may have noticed, there are two wonderful shiny brand new songs up on our myspace player, All The Wrong Reasons and Reality Check. We've taken everything else down as the majority of the older songs have been re-recorded for the new CD :)

Anyway, it would be really appreciated if you could give them a listen and let us know what you think. I'll even give you the lyrics, if you want to sing along.



WE ARE NEVER GOING BACK TO MONTROSE

We've been working hard all year, so for one long week we're going to disappear,
Travelling the country and making new friends, coming back home heroes when it has to end
This is our holiday, going out to play, gonna have some fun then we'll get paid,
Or at least that's the plan as we pack our gear, get the engines running cos we're out of here!

We're excited as we leave our normal lives behind,
Anticipation and morale are at an all time high,
We've got a long journey ahead so let's just all hope for the best,
We've got each other, we've got snacks, so let's just not get stressed.

And it's times like these, it'll make you see how lucky you are: but that won't bring back our car!
And it takes a disaster to bring us together, won't fold under tension, won't crack under pressure.

Been in the car for endless hours, witty banter has turned sour
Been hours since the border and we're getting stressed, but we're confident that it's for the best.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY MORE. Where the fuck are we? Where the fuck's Montrose, and who the fuck is she? How did I get here into parts unknown, all i know is we're a thousand fucking miles from home.

And it's times like these, it'll make you see how lucky you are: but that won't bring back our car!
And it takes a disaster to bring us together, won't fold under tension, won't crack under pressure.

And if you can't handle this, you're not cut out for this game,
It's all hard work and graft, it's not money or fame.
But if chasing a dream and having fun with your friends is what makes you happy, you'll wish this life would never end.

We are never going back to Montrose ever again.

And it's times like these, it'll make you see how lucky you are: but that won't bring back our car!
And it takes a disaster to bring us together, won't fold under tension, won't crack under pressure.



ALL THE WRONG REASONS

So it's not enough, you've not gotten what you want, jaded and broken down by unaccomplished goals.
Your heads in the future, but your hearts in the past.
So i guess we'll drag this out and see how long we make it last.

And we've seen it all before, you're holding out for more.
But when that call never comes, it's time to face what you've become, there's no point doing all of this unless you know you're having fun.

You're doing this for all the wrong reasons.

'Let's look at this from a business point of view' - when you think like that, well then i guess we're through.
Throw the marketing books out the window, you should have guessed this wasn't profitable long ago.
When you put your heart and soul into something you all enjoy, there's ups and
downs, but the experience is what should count.
Making friends, making music, making the best of what we've got.

And we've seen it all before, you're holding out for more.
But when that call never comes, it's time to face what you've become, there's no point doing all of this unless you know you're having fun.

You're doing this for all the wrong reasons.

I've found out you're not who you claim to be, I don't know what to say, I don't know what to say.

We've found a reason.

You're doing this for all the wrong reasons.



BREAKING AND ENTERING

Another situation with another small mistake, and if you're not safe in your own home then what is it gonna take?
And as long as they need something then it's all that keeps them going,
as long as it's so easy then they'll leave people with nothing.

What gives you the right to take it away?
And what gives you the right to take everything from them?

Crowbars, gloves and lockpicks to get an easy fix.
It'll catch up to you, you'll see it from their point of view.

Another broken window and another shattered life, and it's easy to intimidate when you're pointing the knife.
And as long as they need something then it's all that keeps them going,
as long as it's so easy then they'll leave people with nothing.

What gives you the right to take it away?
And what gives you the right to take everything from them?

Crowbars, gloves and lockpicks to get an easy fix.
It'll catch up to you, you'll see it from their point of view.

I don't know how you can face the people you've moved out of place.
And I don't know just when you'll learn, all i know is you'll get your turn.

You'll take the easy way out.


DON'T CALL US (WE WON'T CALL YOU EITHER)

I guess when they said "fame goes to your head", you took it with a pinch of salt.
When all you do is think about you, i guess that it can't be your fault.

And it's hard for me to understand what gives you the right to make demands,
And I guess you have to shout when you're that high up.
You proudly wear your badge of DIY, i guess you never thought to question why or how you got to where you are today.

It's always hard when your integrity is up for debate.
Well I hope you're proud that you'll always be everything you hate.

That's just the way it goes, I guess I'll never know. I'd like to think i'd handle it better.

So what will it take to bring you down to earth?
This life is a curse, you say when it gets better you get worse.




REALITY CHECK



Well i’m taking this chance tonight to be blinded by these bright lights because that’s just what i always wanted.
And if i stumble and i fall, at least i was there to enjoy it all, because that’s just what I always wanted.
So when my best intentions, fail to
live to your expectations, I guess that’s what I always wanted.
And when your schedule leaves me numb, I’ll succumb to your rule of thumb, I guess that’s what I always wanted - well that isn’t what I wanted.

You better watch out, what you wish for because this dream could become a nightmare.

If we don’t all stand up and be the change that we would like to see, we say goodbye to our hopes and dreams.

So when the stakes are high you’re happy to be by my side, well that’s just what i always wanted.
But now the bar’s been set too high, and loyalty isn’t on your mind, I guess that’s what I always wanted.
Another night goes by and apparently you’re not satisfied, I guess that’s what I always wanted.
And when you say it’s all or nothing, I guess there’s nothing I can do, I guess that’s what I always wanted. Well that isn’t what I wanted.

If we don’t all stand up and be the change that we would like to see, we say goodbye to our hopes and dreams.

This is where I take the fall.
Frustrated, dejected, coming back for more.
Well not this time, I’m finished.
One last time, it’s over, i’m walking out the door.

All that you want, all that you’ll ever need - is this what you wished for? Is this what you wished for?

If we don’t all stand up and be the change that we would like to see, we say goodbye to our hopes and dreams.


FOUNDATIONS

Well it's a shame in the way that you followed your dreams and now you're calling it a day. And it makes me ask myself why that night after night i keep believing in a better way.

Well it's no surprise that i've chosen this life, and i wouldn't change a minute of it.

So i'll go and start the fire, if you want to watch it burn.
I'll never tire of this, some might say i'll never learn.
Even when the roof collapses, the foundations are always there for someone else to build upon, for someone else to show they care.

So who's ready for a fight tonight? I wish i could be tougher but the streets are getting rougher.
So i'll do what i do best and when it's put to the test i'd like to think i could do better but i know i'm not the worst.

Well it's no surprise that i've chosen this life, and i wouldn't change a minute of it.

You say it's never easy, but you're the first to walk away.

So i'll go and start the fire, if you want to watch it burn.
I'll never tire of this, some might say i'll never learn.
Even when the roof collapses, the foundations are always there for someone else to build upon, for someone else to show they care.


RISK IT FOR A BISCUIT

So act surprised when i tell you that there's nothing to say,
and keep on acting when i tell you there's no reason to stay.
It's in the air we don't care, there's not much we can do.
Cos i'm a different me and you're the same old you.

Pick up your feet, don't drag cos we're already late,
It's just a matter of time before we make our escape.
All the while we're conspiring to keep it on track,
We're taking 2 steps forward but 3 steps back.

So back i go, i've been here before.
Alone with my thoughts and entirely insecure.
This life is not all it's cracked up to be,
But this time my minds made up as you will see.

There'll be no waiting, no hesitating, there'll be no hanging around.
Been contemplating, procrastinating, there'll be no looking back now.

It's hit or miss with this, and i know you'd wish that life was just as simple as it was when we both started.
And it's too late now for your wondering how, and i'm already out of the door.

So back i go, i've been here before.
Alone with my thoughts and entirely insecure.
This life is not all it's cracked up to be,
But this time my minds made up as you will see.

There'll be no waiting, no hesitating, there'll be no hanging around.
Been contemplating, procrastinating, there'll be no looking back now.

Let's draw the line, one last time.
Let's leave this behind.

There'll be no waiting, no hesitating, there'll be no hanging around.
Been contemplating, procrastinating, there'll be no looking back now.
