Bad Impression 02:59
lyrics
buy track
You don't get to choose the name you're called You're born to act out a live soap opera And if you're good, then you'll hear them all Say 'hey, well played, we'll clap our hands now' For the moment now you feel that rush Cause now you matter, you're a big time hero But what'll happen when you feel it just Fly out the window when you... Lose it, lose it, lose the artifice in your life You'll make a bad impression, but the music's alright Leave all your fears of who you are for someone else to decide You've found the loophole, lead us to it Wade out...step in... Well lucky you, now you have it all You've been renewed for another season But they forgot to mention something small They say 'hey, no way you're getting out now' They won't let you get to think too much Or color outside the lines they prescribe Your true colors aren't refined enough For primetime viewing so just... Lose it, lose it, lose the artifice in your life You'll make a bad impression, but the music's alright Leave all your fears of who you are for someone else to decide You've found the loophole, lead us to it Wade out...step in... Wade out...step in You've found the loophole, lead us to it Wade out...step in

Eleanor wants you...Emily wants you... When everyone wants you, you think it's the way that they ought to... Two thieves, are ready or not for me Two thieves, are moving away from me You say goodbye, you're reason on rewind Two thieves, are ready or not for me Two needs, a mutiny and a dream You say goodnight, yeah you really wanna shine... Jacoby wants you...suit and tie wants you... When everyone wants you, you think it's the way that they ought to... Two thieves, are ready or not for me Two thieves, are looting the bank from me You say goodbye, you're reason on rewind Two thieves, are ready or not for me Two needs, a mutiny and a dream You say goodnight, yeah you really wanna shine... What's the problem with my love...staring at me If I do what you belove...fine, watch me agree If I say that it ain't so, you'd better leave me alone Because it's useless when I figure out I'm.. Two thieves, are ready or not for me Two thieves, are moving away from me You say goodbye, you're reason on rewind Two thieves, are ready or not for me Two needs, a mutiny and a dream You say goodnight, yeah you really oughta shine... What's the problem with my love...staring at me If I do what you belove...fine, watch me agree If I say that it ain't so, yeah you'd better leave me alone Because it's useless when I figure out I'm... Words will leave me staying up...glaring at me Words will be there when your touch...rifles at me But if I say that it ain't so, yeah you'd better leave me alone Because it's useless when I figure out I'm Useless when I figure out I'm Useless when I figure out I'm right...

I've got my slow way down...I don't need no fear rundown I just need more aftershine with you, feeling like I do As if I've always found...this world of mine unbound And then all the aftershine you've made, makes peace with what remains Hey hey... Would you like me to know? (Would you like me back?) Follow faster with you? (You'll never get me back) Follow faster you go, follow faster you go Follow faster, the way I see it... Well I've got my slow way down...I don't need no fear rundown I just need more aftershine with you...feeling like I do As if the world I've found...has all but run aground And when all the aftershine will fade, you'll make peace with what you may Hey hey... Would you like me to know? (Would you like me back?) Follow faster with you? (You'll never get me back) Follow faster you go, follow faster you go Follow faster, the way I see it... Would you like me to know? (Would you like me back?) Follow faster with you? (You'll never get me back) Follow faster you go, follow faster you go Follow faster, the way I see it...yeah The way I see it...

about

Wonder City began one night in the fall of 2013 over drinks in a Boston pub, when after self imposed exiles in Mali, Philadelphia and Louisiana, the ones who came to be its founding members bonded over a shared love of lush, buzzy guitar tones and vibrantly distinct vocal lines. It was decided right then that a band had to be made.

The 4-piece soon collaborated on the makings of bold, yet not wholly unfamiliar musical style, fueled and inspired in equal parts by shimmery and charging Britrock groups like the Who, Oasis and The Stone Roses, rhythmically driven reggae, funk, and rock from Bob Marley & the Wailers, the Police, and Fela Kuti, the rough edges of the Doors, Jack White, and Queens of the Stone Age.

Performing live throughout Boston and the Northeast, Wonder City is set to tour the East Coast this Fall to promote their 2nd EP titled 'Bombora'.
