They also released a Fabriclive album featuring a mix of several synth/retro/elektropop songs such as (for example) MSTRKRFT and New Young Pony Club.
Their second album, In Ghost Colours, was released in 2008. Four singles were issued: "So Haunted," "Hearts on Fire," "Lights and Music," and "Far Away."

Let Me Show You
Cut Copy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't need to pray
Don't need to bow
But we are true believers when the sun goes down
Here on the rock
Look out to space
Don't need no gravity to hold our love in place
Get off the seat
A combination to the place where planets meet
Sharpen up the knives
But not to kill
We're gonna slice the night right open, let it spill
Oh, let me show you
Let me show you love
Oh, let me show you
Let me show you love
Oh, let me show you
Let me show you love
Oh, let me show you
You've got to live right now (Right now)
No need to think
Just got to do
Went through the rhythms of the universe, it's true
Come let it go
Just seize the day
You leave too fast, you'll never know, that's all I say
Oh, let me show you
Let me show you love
Oh, let me show you
Let me show you love
Oh, let me show you
Let me show you love
Oh, let me show you
You've got to live right now (Right now)
Get up, now fall in love
Get up, now fall apart
Get up, now fall apart
Get up, now fall in love
Get up, now fall in love
Get up, now fall apart
Get up, now fall apart
Get up, now fall in love
Just keep holding onto love
Just keep holding onto love
Just keep holding onto love
Just keep holding onto love
Just keep holding onto love
Just keep holding onto love
Just keep holding onto love
Just keep holding onto love
The lyrics of Cut Copy's "Let Me Show You Love" are open to interpretation but largely suggest a celebration of the universe and the love that exists within it. The first verse "Information is crystallizing into your mind" can be interpreted as a reference to the knowledge that we are gaining about the universe and the way it works. The following lines suggest that the love between two people can be held in place without the need for physical things like gravity.
The chorus "Let me show you love, you've got to live right now" can be interpreted as a plea to the listener to let go of worries and embrace the present moment, living life to the fullest. The line "No need to think, just got to do, went through the rhythms of the universe, it's true" suggests that it's not necessary to overthink things, that living in harmony with the universe is enough.
The ending of the song repeats the line "Just keep holding onto love" which reinforces that the love being celebrated in the song is something worth holding onto and cherishing.
Overall, the song celebrates the beauty of the universe, the importance of being present in the moment, and the power of love to hold everything together.

Me too, @ Paaspop, The Netherlands. I was searching through the artists in the line-up when I heard this music. I felt really happy because this music is my taste of music. I get a lot of nice feelings with this and that's what I live for.

Love it!! The chorus is taken from K Klass - Let Me Show You. One of the best club tracks of the 90's.
