Get it over quickly
*Ross’ laugh (petition to get that on the actual track)*
Naked truths and well-dressed lies Greasy hair and toxic smiles Swivel chairs and the piles of paper Being forced to fill them in later Standing over me Leaning into me Get it over quickly (get it over quickly) Oh yeah get it over quickly (get it over quickly) I said get it over quickly (get it over quickly) Oh yeah get it over quickly (get it over)
Lost in the ???? Put up on the pedestals Joking undertone (?) In the atmosphere endeavourment (?) Long walk from the Station To receive your penance Crucified for talking back and miss-timed vengeance Talking down to me Shouting over me Get it over quickly (get it over quickly) Oh yeah get it over quickly (get it over quickly) I said get it over quickly (get it over quickly) Come on and get it over quickly (get it over) Anoraks with the guest (?!) Our faces turn a blank (?!) Its just to much ??? for hallow fame (?!)
Perfect harmonica solo
Steer and a sniff and some ?????? stickers A girl starts to cry and the boys start to snicker Should’ve knocked first on the door of the headmistress Nail in the cupboard for the few bored sinners (?!)
Whispering????? Forces out ????? Ohhhhhh
Get it over quickly Just get it over quickly Just get it over quickly Oh yeah get it over quickly Just get it j-just get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, Just get it over quickly Get it over quickly (get it over quickly) Oh yeah get it over quickly (get it over quickly) Just come on and get it over quickly (get it over quickly) Come on and get it over quickly (get it over) Get it

Ok well I started off alright…. But it kinda got a lot harder towards the end so please help me out guys 😂 anyway fab song and you can listen to it here
Great Expectations
Johnny’s still got all his confirmation money That she won’t let him spend Works on the building till 6 am in the summer And you give him twenty percent Well Johnny got a lot on conflicting ideas in his head And he’s oh so afraid He got himself a power rack and a new haircut (?) Well he just tryna make the grade
Those old routines don’t go too far Those old routines aint what we are
Oh Rosie oh Rosie He won’t let you down Oh Rosie oh Rosie yeah He won’t let you down
Cant leave this town for fear of independence (?) Yeah boy polish that ball and chain And why ever leave this sacred place of worship When everywhere else probably looks the same Just get yourself a girl that you don’t really love And stay together for the kids Or you could stand up straight and run outside And go ahead and live
But those old routines don’t get you far Those old routines aint what we are
Oh Rosie oh Rosie He won’t let you down Oh Rosie oh Rosie yeah He won’t let you down
And all I see Is this great expectation Hanging over You and me And now you lying on the floor man Head in hands feeling low Well you’d just love to get it straight Pray for 1958 Oh go Johnny go go
guitaaaaarrr
Oh Rosie oh Rosie He won’t let you down Oh Rosie oh Rosie yeah He won’t let you down
Oh Rosie oh Rosie He won’t let you down Oh Rosie oh Rosie yeah He won’t let you down

Love the two new songs and excited for more! I’ll keep an eye out for the new songs they play during gigs on youtube and try to keep this blog updated! But please get correcting!! You can listen to it here xxx
Thanks so much for the corrections loosemind !! Who also has rough chords so just message her :) and also to @prehistoric-juliet
Anyone knows the lyrics of the two new songs, great expectations and get it over quickly? :)
I'm about to have a shot at them now! Love them both 👌🏼
To the bass tab question - I'm not sure where yu could find it complete but the main riff if on Ultimate-Guitar tabs and it would work on bass, plus I think the bassline carries on like that longer than the guitar riff. Hope this helps 😀
Thank you very much! Anon, I hope you see this!
Never There
I’m an individual,
And all my friends are the same.
We love protein shakes and summer,
We take the pissing complain. (????????)
We go to games at the weekend,
Saturday’s always a treat.
Sundays are lonely as ever,
Signifies the end of the week.
Don’t say I don’t care,
Cause I really care.
I would change the world,
But I’m never there.
I like girls when I’m sober, (???????)
And they love seem to love me well on, (??????????)
At least that’s what I remember,
They always tell me I’m wrong.
And I love my mum and my father,
Though we don’t ever agree.
And I can’t wait till I’m older,
So I can do as I please.
Hang around,
???????????????
Hang around,
???????????????
(Some of these are probably incorrect and I really can’t work out the last lines because it’s pretty unclear, so sorry haha. But if anyone could correct it that’d be super useful as my band are trying to do a cover of it and none of us can work it out :( thanks) - @leilamohara
@leilamohara submitted this, thank you so much! Help us out if you can!
Anyone know the last four lines of best man? It's not written in the lyrics booklet and it's really bugging me thanks
Not 100% sure on those personally but I'll have a think! Anyone any suggestions? Xx
hi idk if this is the place to go but does anyone know where I could find the bass tab for 84?
Anyone know? Xx
Hii i saw that you were looking for the lyrics and i found a page that is pretty good
**** Thank you so much! Going to keep this website in mind it may be useful for future reference too! Xx
anyone have the lyrics for never there?
I'm afraid I'm going to need a submission for this as its only on the Japanese version but I'll keep an eye out for it online xx
The Strypes, "I Can't Lie"
♫"Oh, the Big Suits tell me that I’m doing it right, ‘Cause the kids, they seem to dig it, almost every night; They say it’s going just perfect, keep it moving forward, But, first there's one opinion that you’ve got to get onboard,
You gotta keep your friends close, but the enemy [NME!] closer, It’s so important that we get them onside; You gotta keep your friends close, but the enemy closer, I can’t lie, I can’t lie – I never felt the need to satisfy!
Well they never put their neck out, can’t decide, They never get behind the wheel, just go for a ride; The label say it’s better than a piece in The Mirror, But the reflection I’m receiving couldn’t be less clear!
You gotta keep your friends close, but the enemy [NME!] closer, It’s so important that we get them onside; You gotta keep your friends close, but the enemy closer, I can’t lie, I can’t lie – I never felt the need to satisfy!
I’m gonna start up the bandwagon, drive to your house, [Set you off?] for 20 minutes, just to kick you out; I’d love to pick you back up, just to knock you down – I don’t need you! I don’t want to [beat?] you!
You gotta keep your friends close, but the enemy [NME!] closer, It’s so important that we get them onside; You gotta keep your friends close, but the enemy closer, I can’t lie, I can’t lie – I never felt the need to satisfy!
OMG, that’s awesome! Josh slagging off both the music press (particularly the NME/enemy) and their label for pandering to them. This song is fantastic, in the great tradition of The Sex Pistol’s “EMI”, Elvis Costello’s “Radio, Radio” and Nick Lowe’s sarcastic, “I Love My Label”. And musically, it’s got the punk aggression of The Jam mixed with the witty snarl of Joe Jackson. This is my favourite song on Little Victories, although I believe it’s only available on the Japanese edition (what a shame!).
Tagging @the-strypes-lyrics (because lyrics are important).
“Little Victories” lyrics
the-strypes-lyrics
Yay!! Thanks beck-is-love I've been looking for this! I've now got a lot of correcting to do 😂 xx
Hope you’re all enjoying Little Victories those of you who can get your hands on it! Unfortunately I am not one of those 😔 but I’m sure there are some really embarrassingly obvious corrections to these lyrics now you’ve heard the recorded versions 😂 and I'm hoping got the lyrics book?? so feel free to send in corrections OR just submit or upload photos of the lyrics book so I can correct Xx
Lovers Leave
Quick drying promises could get anyone into trouble
After a handful of no's you're practically inconsolable
Waiting for you at home
Is a smile that says at least you’ve tried
But its falling on deaf eyes because you’re dying inside
Green tea at high noon with his new Venezuelan girlfriend
In a fancy Paris loft with expensive art instalments
With that stupid dumb-waiter that he never seems to use
He's there to raise eyebrows and possibly amuse
They're a past tense couple
Presently separated
A future meeting couldn't fix all this
So they swing in new circle
Some good and some bad
Lovers walk and lovers leave
Alone at the shopfront, table and coffee
Staring into space and the bed is breathing rhythmically
Along with the rest of the bed-ridden infantry
The photos on the wall look on in disappointment
So you turn your back like you've been doing for a while
*oh la-de-da look our instrumental talent and be jel*
Whilst assessing his expansive business portfolio
His mind casts back to that girl from long ago
A smile plays on his lips as he remembers her barely
As the girl who was despertate to get hitched way too early
They're a past tense couple
Presently separated
A future meeting couldn't fix all this
So they swing in new circle
Some good and some bad
Lovers walk and lovers leave
Alone at the shopfront, table and coffee
Lovers walk and lovers leave
And it’s all so very acrimonious

Despite the fact its another amazing song written by Pete and its going to appear on the deluxe version of the album, the lads have been utter teasers and hardly played it, so we’ve only got one audio of it, which is very frustrating!
Thanks to the anon(s?) who requested this :) (im so so so so sorry its so late we’ve both been so busy with exams) xx
have you heard Vi's version of Josh's song?? i think she starts the first verse with "well now I'm older and I feel the pain" I'm not sure, its on youtube somewhere x
Hi anon :) yes I have (it's so so good!) but I just wasn't sure like if those were lyrics vi had written to fill in the gap? As the only video I know of this song doesn't start in time to hear the beginning, and I didn't want to sort of take Vi's lyrics almost and not credit her, so delightful-y if you see this, message us as to where you got the start from? I love your cover so much! Xx
Josh's Song
…….and I feel the pain
Flowing in my brains
Flowing in my brains today
You know I’m tired of your silly games
Cos darlin’ you aint got no shame
And I’m a little tame for you
Why don’t you love me like you used to do?
Why don’t you need me like you should?
Don’t want you back for just an hour or two
You know I want you back for good
And now I ache in every in bone
Was it me you used to own?
Was it love you used to loan to me?
And I’m blind by your memories
And darling you can barely breathe and I can hardly see your face
Why don’t you love me like you used to do?
Why don’t you need me like you should?
I don’t want you back for just an hour or two
You know I want you back for good
Why don’t you love me like you used to do?
Why don’t you need me like you should?
Don’t want you back for just an hour or two yeah
You know I want you back for good
I want you back for good
You know I want you back for good
*************************************
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I can’t describe how much love I hold for this song
Here you go anon! thanks for requesting xxx
