In May 2006 the long awaited The Tough Alliance - New Waves EP was released on their own label Sincerely Yours. In October 2006 followed their second full length album, 'Escaping Your Ambitions'.
In May 2007, the much anticipated third album 'A New Chance' was released on Sincerely Yours, further developing their charismatic sound of 'The New School' and 'New Waves'; a fusion with their brief exploration of ambient electronica found on Escaping Your Ambitions.
In 2010, Eric Berglund made it clear that The Tough Alliance since 2009 was no more.
Make It Happen
The Tough Alliance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll meet at your place
Let's make it happen
I've been waiting for days
Let's make it happen
Boy I need to breathe
Hey you know me, I've got a need for speed
A need for speed
Forget about labour
It's time to wake the neighbours
(x2)
Let's make it happen
Turn up the bass
Wherever we go we will take over the place
Let's make it happen
It's in the air
I'd sell my soul for this to last forever
Shake, shake it baby
They can't touch us tonight
Shake, shake it baby
They can't touch us, no one can touch us tonight
And if someone tries to disturb this groove
This someone sure made a fucked up move
Call the police, it won't spoil our plans
Against my baseball bat no one has a chance
No one has a chance
Big city, bright lights, cool people

Line by Line Meaning
Let's make it happen
We should take action to make something occur
We'll meet at your place
We will convene at your residence
I've been waiting for days
I have been anticipating this for several days
Boy I need to breathe
I need to catch my breath
Hey you know me, I've got a need for speed
You are aware of my desire for velocity
Forget about labour
Do not worry about working
It's time to wake the neighbours
It is time to rouse the neighbors from their slumber
Turn up the bass
Increase the bass volume
Wherever we go we will take over the place
We will dominate any location we visit
It's in the air
It is an intangible feeling
I'd sell my soul for this to last forever
I would sacrifice anything to maintain this feeling eternally
Shake, shake it baby
Move your body rhythmically, my dear
They can't touch us tonight
Nobody can affect or influence us today
And if someone tries to disturb this groove
If somebody endeavors to disrupt our rhythm
This someone sure made a fucked up move
This person made a dreadful judgment call
Call the police, it won't spoil our plans
Solicit the authorities; it will not obstruct our agenda
Against my baseball bat no one has a chance
Individuals will be powerless against my instrument of force
Big city, bright lights, cool people
Urban areas with prominent illumination and voguish societal denizens
