They have released three albums:
Outside The Simian Flock (2001)
Paradisiac (2005)
Sciencing (2017)

Paradisiac was produced by Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age) and fine-tuned at fellow QOTSA member Alain Johannes' studio. The album saw the band creating a harder-edged sound with obvious influences from the Queens.

Josh noticed Millionaire opening for the Masters of Reality in the SMAK (Ghent) and was so impressed he asked them to support his band on their European and American tours. Millionaire have since toured with Muse and Foo Fighters and in the U.S. with the Taste Of Chaos 2006 festival.

The band released two tracks for the Ex-Drummer soundtrack, Mongoloid (Devo cover) and Deep Fish. In this movie, they are played by the fictional band "The Feminists". Tim has recently released his own solo album. On December 5th, 2008, the band announced they are working on a new album.

Come With Me
Millionaire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say: I can't, but I do what I want to
They say: I can't, but I do what I want to
They say: I can't, but I do what I want to
They say: I can't, but I do what I want to

When the sun comes up
You can wake me up
I'll come with you

And I'll know

Can you tell me what
What you know about
About the stars tonight
And the sin

Will you dance for me
Can you freak with me
Let your mind be free
Tonight

Can you tell me what
What you know about
About the stars tonight
And the sin

Can you pick me up
I will bring the fire

And I'll burn us down
Tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Come With You" by Millionaires focus on doing what one wants to regardless of what others say. The repetition of "They say: I can't, but I do what I want to" emphasizes the idea of defying societal expectations and norms. The song's attitude is one of living life on one's terms and not being afraid to take risks, even if it means "burn[ing] us down." The chorus invites the listener to go on an adventure with the singer and to explore the sin and stars of the night.

The opening lines suggest a carefree attitude towards life, as the singer invites someone to wake them up when the sun comes up, implying a readiness for whatever the day may bring. The invitation to explore the stars and the sin of the night suggests a desire for excitement, even if it may be seen as unconventional or taboo by some. The repeated question, "Can you tell me what what you know about / About the stars tonight and the sin" reinforces this idea of a hunger for adventure.

The song's overall message can be interpreted as one of empowerment and liberation from societal expectations. The Millionaires encourage listeners to live life on their own terms, to challenge the status quo, and to enjoy the freedom and excitement of exploring the world and themselves.

They say: I can't, but I do what I want to
Despite others saying that I'm incapable, I continue to pursue what I desire

When the sun comes up
At the start of a new day

You can wake me up
You may disturb me from my sleep

I'll come with you
I will accompany you

About the stars tonight
The celestial bodies visible in the sky tonight

And the immoral acts committed by humans

Will you perform a physical expression of joy for me
