The Year Nobody Died

Taken from "Bad Football" 2007

""I can’t compete
With the flies in the street",
This she cried

Drank all the beer
Nothing left in the year nobody died

I made it to runaway
I’ll make it to Airway

Pushed to the hills
With your suicide pills
It’s all right

In Metro state
Saving time is impossible
I made it to runaway
I’ll make it to Airway

On last report most folks agreed it was a good year"

Quite a melancholy song from the usually upbeat Takeovers. Again, looking forward to old age and death. Beautiful song.

Father's Favourite Temperature

Taken from "Bad Football" 2007

Lyrics Unknown

This song has an almost country twang to it mixed with Oasis. A very playful song. Is he singing about his father setting the house thermostat to his favourite temperature and not let anyone else mess with it. That's the mental image I get.

You're At It

Lyrics Unkown

The opening track off "Bad Football" which I have literally had in my possession for a day or two and the first album on Off Records. Theres something about the drumming in this song that reminds me of the Breeders. I love the live band sound of this song but I must admit on first listen I get it but now its sinking in and sounds pretty great and chunky. Good song. You gotta love The Takeovers.
