Give me you eyes, I'll sleep after we get
Give me your why's 'cause I, 'cause I'm weak yeah
Kiss me, oh, just kiss me
Time is chaning with the seasons
All I needed was a reason
Kiss me, oh, just kiss me
Here's a fun thing when I said it
Here's a heart just bring your head in

Time's up, oh, time's up
I need just a cool life with you
I gave your whole life that signal
Don't care, no, I don't care

Give me you eyes, I'll sleep after we get
Give me your why's 'cause I, 'cause I'm weak yeah
Kiss me, oh, just kiss me

@pentura Probably the best band for the pre 90's noisy & softy revival nowadays...so many references to Reid's brothers band! i played it 3 hours ago at Madrid's (spain) best indie club and it was the highest moment of the session... i wish this revival to continue for long with bands as Ringo, Ceremony, APTBS, 93 million miles from the sun or even dreampop ones as Youngteam from Sweden..!
