The duo released their debut album Ego War in 2003 to positive reviews which helped to establish them as one of the best new acts in dance music. The album fused elements of breaks, hip-hop, punk, garage and house with clever beats and samples.
In 2005 they released Generation, the follow-up to their debut album. Despite reaching number 3 in the UK Singles Chart with their 2005 hit, "Shot You Down", which samples the Nancy Sinatra version of the song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", the album was poorly received. Generation was seen as a step away from what made Ego War appealing due to the pace being slower and a number of tracks being downbeat in mood. In a 2008 interview, Simon Franks suggested that they listened to their label, Virgin, too much: "We should never have listened to anyone else". "Virgin admitted they didn't know how to market house music, and it slowly turned into us making this slower album. The daft thing is, Shot You Down was the big hit, this old-school club track, but it was followed by a moody, dark record. It confused everyone."
In making Generation, the group worked with Suggs of Madness collaborating on the track "This Road".
Their new album, Sunday Night Fever, was supposed to be out September 2008, but has been delayed till 2009. It has been renamed to Higher Than The Eiffel and will be released in 2010. The first single promoting that album entitled Only Man, will be released on March 22nd 2010.

Dynamite
Audio Bullys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So if you see me
Baby look away, away, away,
Pretend you haven't seen me,
At least for just today, today, today

[Repeat: x8]
She keeps lookin' my way

And when I look at you,
The stars fall from the skies like dynamite into my eyes,
And when you are around,
Every single sound is just the sweetest symphony,
Of you and me,

And you don't know me,
Know me anymore, anymore, anymore,
I'm not the same person,
That I was before, before, before,

[Repeat: x8]
She keeps lookin' my way

And when I look at you,
The stars fall from the skies like dynamite into my eyes,
And when you are around,
Every single sound is just the sweetest symphony,
Of you and me,

And when I look at you,
The stars fall from the skies like dynamite into my eyes,
And when you are around,
Every single sound is just the sweetest symphony,
Of you and me,

[Repeat: x8]
She keeps lookin' my way

Overall Meaning

The song "Dynamite" by Audio Bullys is about a person who is attracted to someone but doesn't want the other person to know about it. The first few lines of the song establish this idea, as the person pleads with the other to look away and pretend like they haven't seen them. They know that they are being looked at, but they want to avoid any kind of interaction or acknowledgment. The chorus talks about the intense feelings that come with being around this person- the stars falling from the sky like dynamite into their eyes suggests the overwhelming nature of this attraction.

The second verse describes how the person feels like they have changed as a result of their feelings for this other person. They no longer feel like the same person they were before- this is a common theme in love songs where the other person's influence has a transformative effect on the singer. The chorus repeats as the person they are trying to avoid continues to look their way. The repetition adds to the urgency of the situation and emphasizes the idea that the attraction is out of their control.

Line by Line Meaning

So if you see me
If you happen to see me around

Baby look away, away, away,
Don't make eye contact and just look away

Pretend you haven't seen me,
Act like you didn't see me

At least for just today, today, today
Just for today, at least

She keeps lookin' my way
She keeps staring at me

And when I look at you,
When I gaze upon you,

The stars fall from the skies like dynamite into my eyes,
You are so dazzling that my eyes feel like they're being blown up by stars

And when you are around,
Whenever you're near me,

Every single sound is just the sweetest symphony,
Everything sounds like the sweetest music when I'm with you,

Of you and me,
Together, the music we make is amazing

And you don't know me,
You don't know the person I've become,
