lyrics

Every time I speak, something's stopping me, there's someone preaching on my t.v screen,
Be nice, make 'em smile, the world will fall down at your feet.

We we were young, you don't want to know, it's real simple what we're going on.
Look bright, wave goodbye, and don't forget to be a shining light...

Yeah, open your eyes and you might see, down by the water on my knees, don't kill the nice guy he's part of me
Yeah, apres tus ojos que cera, down by the water begging please, won't you just fall in love with me.

I'll give you 5, I don't want polite, it's not like you've lied before so you must be right,
Don't think twice, when you're betting lives, don't forget there's no team in I...

I though nice, with a touch of shy, made the perfect guy
But before long, you say it's not my fault, you're going on what you were taught was wrong.

The fire's out, burning black and blue, yeah something's wrong but I ain't telling you,
Be mean, and unavailable, at least for now you'll feel on top of the world...

Yeah, open your eyes and you might see, down by the water on my knees, don't kill the nice guy he's part of me
Yeah, apres tus ojos que cera, down by the water begging please, won't you just fall in love with me.

Joe Holywood Melbourne, Australia

Brought up on a balanced diet of rock 'n roll, jazz and many other bizarre musical offerings, Joe Holywood is a songwriter Influenced by the 80's 'New Wave' and the pop and rock of the 00's. With a love for retro style and aesthetic, Holywood's lo-fi pop sounds like what you'd expect if a 1960's movie star was left alone in a time machine with a guitar and synthesiser for a bazillion years. ... more
