I hope that I am not a nice guy Without the sense to realise Though it could explain why I've been taken for a ride I am the warm up act I am the fall guy Your stepping stone to step upon I am an ice king To your bubblegum Wasting my cold breath As I run I hope you don't think I mean this With your help I'm now a realist You should join me, come on Try a little bitterness I am the warm up act I am the fall guy Your stepping stone to true love I am an ice king To your bubblegum Wasting my cold cold breath As I run

One of Them 03:26
Take a look at yourself If you dare Take a step out in The cold air See if anything Is really there When you've become One of them And can No longer pretend Watch the waves roll in Over you There is nothing You can really do But feel the chill As your heart turns blue When you've become One of them And can no Longer pretend

I'll meet you at the crossroads in the dead of night And dance we will 'til the morning light, 'Til the dew is dripping from our hair And our eyes are like moons locked in cold stare The eye of a needle is spinning yarns Tunes that once echoed through dancing barns That kept us on our toes, helped us to tell One day from the flow, heaven from hell It's a swell Party This is And I'm barely down On my knees The spin you put on this old tale Weaving through the country pale Like words on the lips of clouds The burning of the morning shroud You took me at my word and at my thought It was all i had, it was not a lot Throwing caution to the wind The mastery of a full spin It's a swell Party This is And I'm barely down On my knees (like I know what it is)

"It's a song that's best suited for repeat listens, as you discovered something new hidden within the song's intricacies every single time." metaphoricalboat.blogspot.co.uk

"...features beautifully layered synths and 90’s era chillout synth lounge sounds, peppered with sparkly Rhodes-esque pianos... and magnificent chord sequences that just teleport you to another dimension." PureMzine.com
