about

This song was a blast to record. When we started recording the drums for it we thought it would take a lot of takes before we’d get the feel of it right. In the end though, the very first take had so much energy and drive that it was the perfect fit for the song.

lyrics

I hear the guitars like dynamite, breaking up the satellites
Breaking like a wrecking ball
And the bang-bang of a drum, fireworks and making love
With too much time and nowhere to go
And your friends will all be there, smoking darts and drinking beer
We’ll be flying to high to fall

Just put your life on easy street, clap your hands and stomp your feet
Cuz’ tonight, Cuz’ tonight it’s going down

So tell your mother, tell your brother, tell your friends and all your lovers
Just where it’s all going down
And put your back into the music, cuz’ I haven’t seen you groovin’
It doesn’t matter who you are

We’d be so glad to take you there
So leave out all your cares
Just tell your friends to be there

And the parties will get you high, Starlight and fireflies
Yah we can get another going on
We’ll be hanging down by the lake, alcohol and Mary-Jane
We're drinking til' the morning’s dawn
This ain’t no black tie posh affair, you say you’ve got nothing to wear?
Just bring yourself as you are
And as the band plays we'll sing along, dancing out to all their songs
And making up the words we don’t know

(Chorus)
