Having some trouble keeping the band together in Umeå (and keeping the band healthy), effective rehearsal was not the characteristic of 2005. Still, we managed to get going, created a couple of hits and played a few shows during spring/summer 2006. Then Emma came into our lives.In 2008 Emma left the band due to personal reasons. And Jenka Nilsson became, after months of searching, the new Bombette.

Now, we are releasing our second 7" " You have no chance, Lance" and heading out to conquer Europe in January/ February 2009. If 2008 was great, 2009 will be even better!

We are out dancing, looking for romance
on a saturday night
We are out dancing, I'm looking for romance
on a saturday night
I want you, do you want me?

We are out dancing, looking for romance

We are out dancing, I'm looking for romance
on a saturday night
I want you, do you want me too?
'Cause I think I want you, do you want me too?

I stole the look from you,??? who
(Yeah Yeah Yeah!)
I stole the look from you,??? who

We are out dancing, looking for romance

We are out dancing, I'm looking for romance

The main chorus revolves around the question of whether or not the person they are interested in wants them back. The singer repeats "I want you, do you want me too?" in a hopeful tone, hinting at the excitement and anticipation that come with meeting someone new.

The lines "I stole the look from you, who?" are intriguing and somewhat cryptic. It's unclear what exactly the singer is referring to when they say "the look," but it adds to the mystery and allure of the song. It could be interpreted as a stolen glance or a stolen moment, symbolizing the fleeting nature of a connection made in a crowded bar.

Overall, The Thief is a fun and flirty song that captures the essence of a night out on the town in search of love and adventure.
