'We pride ourselves on our live performances; its the best way to experience us as a band.' with a strong reputation for manic gigs and a growing back catalogue of recorded material the band are in high demand from venues and money grabbing promoters alike. The band set off to kendall calling this summer where the band played the calling out stage, just months after winning the Liverpool sound city youth award in the Epstein Theatre. 'We've been played on a few radio stations throughout the northwest, including a live interview with Billy Butler, were made up!'
With more character than you can shake a stick at the cheap thrills are the band to see, and the future is looking bright for these 17 year old scousers. A new 5 track EP and another string of gigs in the capital shapes for an interesting latter half of 2012.
Same Old Faces
The Cheap Thrills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Punch the devil in the face if you are going through hell
I′m not god but i would crucify the sun
A different world with smiles it has begun
Take you to a place and i will show you my dreams
But they're littered with infrequent mild sexual themes
I′m not god but i'll crucify the sun
I'll crucify the sun
I was a baby when humanity fell
When the people with the passion still had stories to tell
I′m not god but i′ll crucify the sun
And leave it on the cross until the day it is done
Wanna tell you something that you haven't heard before
I′ve got secrets I've got sore spots if you want them they′re yours
I'm not god but i will crucify the sun
I′ll crucify the
Same old faces who aint got nothing to say
Still haven't changed since back in the day
Still wanna talk but we've got our own way own way
And it sounds like...
The lyrics of "Same Old Faces" by The Cheap Thrills is a contemplation of the singer's place in the world and their desire to change the status quo. They refer to themselves as a baby when humanity fell and express their willingness to fight even if they are not divine. The line "Punch the devil in the face if you are going through hell" is a call to action, encouraging listeners to stand up against difficult circumstances. The lyrics then shift to a more personal theme as the singer invites the listener to a place where they will share their dreams, though they caution that these dreams are not without some explicit content.
The lyrics then circle back to the idea of change, asking if they can share something new with the listener. They promise to reveal their secrets and vulnerabilities if asked. The song ends with a statement about the same old faces who continue to dwell in the past, and the singer's belief that they and the listener have found their own way.
Overall, "Same Old Faces" is a powerful song about the desire for change and the hope for a better future. The references to divinity and devils add a mythical quality to the lyrics, while the personal touches make it relatable and grounded.

I was a baby when humanity fell
I was too young to remember when the world changed for the worse
Punch the devil in the face if you are going through hell
Fight against your troubles head on, even if they seem impossible
I′m not god but i would crucify the sun
I don't have ultimate power, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make a change
A different world with smiles it has begun
A better world is possible, and we're starting to see glimpses of it
Take you to a place and i will show you my dreams
Let me share my hopes and aspirations with you
But they're littered with infrequent mild sexual themes
My dreams may be unconventional or controversial in some ways
I′m not god but i'll crucify the sun
I'm ready to take on even the most daunting challenges to make a difference
I'll crucify the sun
I'll keep fighting until I achieve my goals, no matter how difficult
When the people with the passion still had stories to tell
There was a time when people had more drive, creativity, and meaningful experiences to share
And leave it on the cross until the day it is done
I'll keep working relentlessly until I've accomplished everything I set out to do
Wanna tell you something that you haven't heard before
I have something unique and valuable to share with you
I′ve got secrets I've got sore spots if you want them they′re yours
I have personal struggles and secrets that I'm willing to open up about
Same old faces who aint got nothing to say
The same people keep repeating themselves and don't have anything new or interesting to contribute
Still haven't changed since back in the day
They haven't grown or evolved in their thinking, attitudes, or actions for a long time
Still wanna talk but we've got our own way own way
We have our own vision and direction, and we're not interested in following their lead
And it sounds like...
And it feels like we're finally breaking free from their influence and charting our own path
