Blinded
British India Lyrics
And I can't keep on running
At these kind of speeds
Cause when you're standing with me
I can't move my feet
And you're not the problem
The problem's you and me
I wish I didn't say that
I wish I didn't think that
But now I sort of see
That everything I had
Was right between my feet
I used to be so blinded
And don't forget your camera
To get a final shot
Of your friends as they are leaving
Everybody's leaving
A certain kind of silence
When a good song ends
But I kept trying to fill it
I kept trying to fill it
I used to be so blind
But now I sort of see
That everything I had
Was right between my feet
If ever you came back
I'd never let you go
It doesn't matter now
But I want you to know
I used to be so blinded
I used to be so blinded
I used to be so blind
And nothing stays the same
We were handsome and clever and well behaved
And loving you always
And I gave you, gave you, gave you all away
I used to be so blind
But now I sort of see
That everything I had
Was right between my feet
If ever you came back
I'd never let you go
It doesn't matter now
But I want you to know
I used to be so blinded
I used to be so blinded
I used to be so blind
If I could have the chance back
It doesn't matter now
I just want you to know that
I didn't mean to end everything like that

Guillotine was also nominated for Triple J's J Award in 2007 and in December of that year British India won the AIR Award for 'Best New Independent Artist'. In April and May of 2008 the band entered Flashpoint studios once again to record their new album "Theives" officially released on the 19th of July, althought copies were available at gigs a week earlier than this. The first single from the album is titled "I Said I'm Sorry" and is on their MySpace.
British India formed when Melbourne high school friends Declan Melia and Nic Wilson met Will Drummond and Matt O'Gorman through mutual friends, and asked them to join the band. Social misfits in school, the quartet began to jam together, playing work by their favourite bands; Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Beatles, Blur, and Starsailor. The band's name was originally noticed by Wilson on a b-side by Strawberry Alarm Clock.
In 2005, after playing regularly across Australia for a year, the band signed with In-Fidelity Recordings and began work on their debut EP, with producer Lindsay Gravina. In June 2005 they released a single, "Outside 109 / Automatic Blitzkrieg". The song's inspiration came from a quip made by Mick Jagger in an interview in 1964. Melia told Australian Music Online the song's lyrics referred to the band's gigging in Melbourne, and "being just outside of international recognition".
On 21 November 2005 the band released their EP, Counter Culture, on Shock Records. Following recording at Sydney's Flashpoint Studios with studio owner Harry Vanda.[6] Drummond said that in recording the EP, the band "crammed all [their] youthful exuberance" onto it.

One of the smartest video clips around from one of the best "new " to commercial radio bands. The band starts off as a synth pop band and has a girl drummer. Everyone at the school reunion is blinded by their image and do not see who the band really are. At the end of the song the real band emerges from within. It transforms to a fair dinkum Aussie guitar band.
The song is an antidote to the techno hits of the present aka Lady Gaga. Again those that can not see the music for what it is are blind. There is no change to the music only the image. The revelation in the song is that guitar bands are back and that people have been blinded by the image and there is no real substance to it.
The music is also evocative of Rat Cat in their prime who opened up the doors for a whole new wave of guitar bands in this country. Think Powderfinger and Regurgitator.
Great song from a great band. If radio gets behind it, it will be a massive hit. If not it may well be one of the most influential yet unheralded songs this year.
Guys great job and well done. The film maker has got the image just right although it would never make it on to Countdown in its prime. Maybe rock around the world on SBS. For all the millennial's out there you will have to Google both of those. LOL.
One of Rat Cats songs.
RATCAT - ''Baby's Got A Gun''
P.S. The live the mix I have seen on you tube I dont think does you justice. It should cleaner and more sparse. Towards the end it gets much better.
