Published in 1962, it is the account of Will Farnaby, a cynical journalist who is shipwrecked on the fictional island of Pala, where parrots whisper uplifting messages to the islanders.
Formed out of the ashes of First Day Back, the St Albans, United Kingdom hardcore band they formed while still at school, Friendly Fires make razor-sharp post-punk that burns through the memories of all the dismal, skinny jeaned ‘80s revivalists you’ve been hearing these past few years. Sounding brittle, knotty and urgent, Friendly Fires are the real deal. With no fat or padding on them at all, their songs possess an elegant sparseness. As guitarist Edd Gibson notes: “The hardest thing I think is to know what to leave out, to know when something is enough.” But amongst all the stripped-back twists, there are also moments full of deep, blissed-out melodies. “I love lush, massive, tingly chords; the My Bloody Valentine sound,” says bassist and singer Ed MacFarlane.

Friendly Fires Lyrics
One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise, I'm on it
When I'm bringing in the money
I promise, I'm on it
I'm gonna take you out to club showcase
We're gonna live it up
I promise
Just hold on a little more
And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
One day we're gonna live in Paris
I promise, I'm on it
I'll find you that French boy
You'll find me that French girl
I promise, I'm on it
So go and pack your bags for the long haul
We're gonna lose ourselves
I promise
This time it's you and me for evermore
And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
And every night we'll watch the stars
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us, they'll be out for us

They'll be out for us
And every night, the city lights
They'll be out for us
They'll be out for us

I was born in Paris but this song is just TOO GOOD for Paris. I used to listen to this song a lot when I was an exchange student in Japan and It is more of a Tokyo song to me! It fits perfectly with the Tokyo atmosphere.

This was the first song that got me into this band... Great song and an AWESOME video!!!

I bought this album on disc a few years ago because I heard the song "Jump in the Pool" at a party - fell in love almost instantly with the band! Such a great sound. A lot of people are here for Cory Monteith, whom was a wonderful actor/person in general and happened to tweet this song in one of his final days. There's an abundance of hate on here because "true fans" of FF are offended that a celebrity's death gained this song attention, and I'd like to say that I think that hate is lame (1/2)
