Track 2. Mona Lisa Smile



Song Description
The song begins with four soft drum beats as Amy sings the opening verse accapella, and as she finishes saying “But She Just Don’t Know Where To Start.” the band comes crashing in creating another energetic fast-paced rock song. As Amy sings about the carefree girl that everyone wants, the character being brought to life in the song, It could be interpreted that the female in the song is Ms. Meyer but there aren’t any clues to back up that interpretation, which leaves the audience guessing and perhaps attempting to picture this crazy, carefree girl in the song.

Lyrics
She Puts Her Make-up On
Like She’s Creating Some Kinda Art
She Looks Around For Clothes
But She Just Don’t Know Where To Start
---
She Throws On A Skirt And An Old Yankee’s Sweater
Guys Will Learn To Fall In Love … Before They Even Met Her
She’s The Envy Of Her Peers, Because After All These Years …
There Ain’t Been No One Like Her Before
---
She’s Dressed Up Right
She Won’t Be Free All Night
So Take Your Chances When They Come
Take Her Hand And Run
---
The Girls Wanna Be Her, The Guys Wanna See Her
If Only For A Little While, Just To See Her Mona Lisa Smile
The Girls Wanna Be Her, The Guys Wanna See Her
If Only For A Little While, Just To See Her Mona Lisa Smile
---
She’ll Make You Crazy With That Smile
The Devil Is Inside Her And He’s In Style
You Couldn’t Find Anyone Like Her, She Doesn’t Really Care
And By The End Of The Night, She’ll Have You Fighting For Air
---
If You Want Her Badly …
You Have A Mountain To Climb
But When You Finally Get Her …
Your Heaven Turns Into A Lifetime
---
She’s Dressed Up Right
She Won’t Be Free All Night
So Take Your Chances When They Come
Take Her Hand And Run
---
The Girls They Wanna Be Her, The Guys They Wanna See Her
If Only For A Little While, Just To See Her Mona Lisa Smile
Just To See Her Mona Lisa Smile, Love Is Hard And It May Take A While
But You’ll Never Let Her Go … When You See Her Mona Lisa Smile

Track 4. Sweet Little Fantasy‘s



Song Description
The bands biggest hit so far, starts at an extremely fast pace. It’s a song about someone’s dream girl who is just a fantasy for some people. The song begins at a very rapid pace with a modern guitar intro that sets the song up perfectly and creates the trademark song for the band, this song is already one that best associates the band and what kind of music they make. Fusing modern rock lyrical influences and anthemic 70’s and 80’s style arena rock. It’s been performed at almost every show on the bands UK tour in support of Fathers Of Fury and has already became a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Expect to hear this song regularly during festival season and for many more years to come.

Lyrics
She Wears Her Hair Down Low
She Walks The Streets Once More
She Writes Up Fairytales In Her Head
It’s Tragic, Because They Always End Up Dead
---
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Coming Away With Me
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Coming Away With Me
---
They Said, Her Face Could Launch A Thousand Ships
The Guys Were, Desperate To Be Kissing … Her Red Lips
Instead She Walks The Streets At Night, Just Looking For Tips
Show Some Skin Once More, And We’ll Call It Quits
---
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Are Coming Away With Me
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Are Coming Away With Me
---
Some Girls Look For Love
Some Girls Search For Luck
Some Girls Play Hard To Get
Some Girls Are An Easy … {Wait A Minute}
---
She’s Got …
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Coming Away With Me
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Coming Away With Me
---
It’s All Just A Game They Play
They’ll Play It Until, Your Old And Grey
They’ll Mess With Your Head Tonight
They’ll Scream Louder, “HOLD ON TIGHT!!!”
---
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Coming Away With Me
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Coming Away With Me
---
But Tonight Your All Alone
Your Castle’s Turned Into A Home
Cracks In The Fabrics, And Tears In Your Beers
You’d Think You’d Have Learnt This Time
That Bitch Ain’t Worth A Dime
---
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Coming Away With Me
Sweet Little Fantasy’s
Coming Away With Me

Track 5. Kiss Goodbye To Harvest Moon



Song Description
This song is a softer, more melodic song, during live shows it’s been perform acoustically, not so on the album but the instrumentation is quite soft and quiet with the emphasis on the softness of Amy’s vocals as she sings about leaving your dreams behind you, she sings about a person that is now “Living The Good Life” and “Making Six Numbers.” having been a typical unhappy loser teen whose life has turned out great but it also focuses on the fact that, although the characters life has turned out great, he still missed out on the things he really wanted, hence “Kiss Goodbye To The Harvest Moon.”

Lyrics
Watch Your Step Now, Kid … It’s All In Vein
You Can Try And Try … But You’ll Only Go Insane
You Are The Winner … And Now It Seems
Your Not The Sinner … Your The Stuff Of Dreams
---
Your The One With The Warn Out Sweater
And The Horn Rimmed Glasses, Don’t Make Things Better
I Know Your Life, I Know It Kills
Put Down The Knife And Drop The Pills
---
The Pathway To Your Life … Has All Potential
The World Needs All Walks Of Life … Now It’s Essential
You Are The Winner … And Now It Seems
Your Not The Sinner … The Stuff Of Dreams
---
You Will, You Will, You Will
Kiss Goodbye To The Harvest Moon
With A Smile On Your Face … Singing A New Tune
Just Kiss Goodbye To The Harvest Moon
---
Your Living The Good Life … Making Six Numbers
Kissing Your Kids Goodnight … To The Sound Of Golden Slumbers
The Woman Of Your Dreams … Is Standing By Your Side
Life Is At Ease … Your Swimming With The Tide
---
Highschool Reunion, A Chance For Payback
Meet Old Friends And Enemy’s … They’re On The Beaten Track
Don’t Be So Smug … You’ve Got Everything You Need
And Don’t Forget … A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed
---
You Will, You Will, You Will
Kiss Goodbye To The Harvest Moon
With A Smile On Your Face … Singing A New Tune
Just Kiss Goodbye To The Harvest Moon

Track 7. A Moment, An Hour, A Lifetime



Song Description
A soft guitar introduction sets up this song perfectly as Amy bears her soul, telling the world how she’s feeling, she sings with her trademark rock vocals but sings it with huge amounts of emotion. The bass keeps the song going constantly and the addition of the drums about 40 seconds in add to the underlining power of the song. Amy opens up her heart throughout, which is only likely to enhance the support from various teenagers worldwide with lyrics like, “People Say It’s Better To Have Loved And Lost/But If This Is/The Pain I’ll Feel Then I’ll Pay The Cost/Because Living Without You Is A Pain I Can’t Take/And Although I’ll Live On, My Heart Will Still Ache.”

Lyrics
I’m Playing This Game Called Love
And It’s Messing With My Heart
I’ll Fight My Instincts, Fight My Feelings
But I’m Just Falling Apart
---
I’ll Close My Eyes And Let My Mind Run Free
Holding You Is Where I Long To Be
I’m Trying To Keep Calm And Fight What I Feel
But A Space In My Heart Is Harder To Heal
---
So I’ll Try To Move On And Pretend That Everything’s Fine
But I Know What I Feel And I Want You To Be Mine
So Tell Me What Your Feeling, Is It The Same
If I Get Hurt, Your Not To Blame
---
So If It Takes A Moment To Like
And An Hour To Love
A Lifetime To Forget
I Guess It’s Easier To Regret
---
And I’ll Walk These Streets In The Pitch Black Dark
Hoping To See You Someday, To Re-Ignite This Spark
I’ll Wonder And Wonder, If We’ll Ever Get To Meet
Until That Day Comes, My Heart Will Learn To Beat
---
So If It Takes A Moment To Like
And An Hour To Love
A Lifetime To Forget
I Guess It’s Easier To Regret
---
People Say It’s Better To Have Loved And Lost
But If This Is The Pain I’ll Feel Then I’ll Pay The Cost
Because Living Without You Is A Pain I Can’t Take
And Although I’ll Live On, My Heart Will Still Ache
---
So If It Takes A Moment To Like
And An Hour To Love
A Lifetime To Forget
I Guess It’s Easier To Regret
---
If I’m Tearing Apart At The Seams
If Your Longing To Be In My Dreams
If I Wanna Be Feeling Free
Then I’ll Need Your Love To Comfort Me
---
So If It Takes A Moment To Like
And An Hour To Love
A Lifetime To Forget
I Guess It’s Easier To Regret

Track 9. Assassination In A Subway Station



Song Description
The song opens with the sound of a train running down a railway track, as the noise fades, we hear 4 loud drum beats as the electric guitar begins with a loud intro, Amy begins singing quickly, adding to the panicked feel to the song, she sings about the young character’s fear of returning home, it turns into tragedy as the characters mom dies, it’s unknown how though, “Heartbreaks Begin And Panic Ensues/Nothing To Win And Nothing To Lose/Tears Are Flooding Down Your Face/No Sign Of Mommy, There Ain’t No Trace.” The songs most memorable moment is when the music goes silent and Amy screams at the top of her voice, “Cry, Cry, Cry/Oh, Cry, Cry, Cry.” bringing one of the rawest vocals you could find.

Lyrics
Stand Alone In The Underground
Heading Home To That Familiar Sound
Screaming And Shouting, It’s So Loud
This Is Your Life, Don’t … It … Make … You … Proud
---
No, No, No
No, No, No
---
Throwing Bottles And Empty Glasses
Messed Up On Coke And High On Acid
As The Darkness Descends And The Doors Fling Open
Here’s To You … Kid, Here’s To Hoping
---
Prepare Yourself For A Lifelong Nightmare
As Darkness Descends, Your All Alone There
I’ll Tell You The Story When Your Old Enough To Care
Please Remind Yourself That Life Ain’t So Tough
---
It’s An Assassination On A Subway Station
Fear And Panic Across The Nation
Run Along And Don’t Look Back
As The Teardrops Hit The Track
---
Stand Alone In The Underground
Heading Home To That Familiar Sound
Screaming And Shouting … It’s So Loud
This Is Your Life, Don’t … It … Make … You … Proud
---
Cry, Cry, Cry
Oh, Cry, Cry, Cry
---
Heartbreaks Begin And Panic Ensues
Nothing To Win And Nothing To Lose
Tears Are Flooding Down Your Face
No Sign Of Mommy, There Ain’t No Trace
---
Gone Too Soon, No Reason Why
Tell The Kids, They’re Allowed To Cry
Give Them Love And A Four Leaf Clover
It’s Gonna Be A While Until Their Pain’s Over
---
It’s An Assassination On A Subway Station
Fear And Panic Across The Nation
Run Along And Don’t Look Back
As The Teardrops Hit The Track
---
Teardrops Hit The Track
Teardrops Hit The Track
Run Along Kid, Don’t Look Back
Teardrops Hit The Track

Track 11. Dear Diary



Song Description
Another soft introduction to this next song, it quickly picks up pace and provides the typical Riot! Energy as Justin shines on this track with a guitar solo mid-way through the song. It provides the perfect backing for Amy’s vocals as she sings about her difficult teenage years with her jotting her feelings down in her diary, “So Dear Diary, You Listen So Well/I Know I Probably Bore You, But I Know You’d Never Tell.” and the song ends with “I Owe A Lot To Your White Blank Pages/You Help Me Grow Up, Through The Ages.”

Lyrics
Dear Diary, It’s That Time Again
I’ve Got My Thoughts And My Poisonous Pen
I Feel Like I’m Dying, As This Person I’ve Become Now
I’m Feeling So Much Anger, I Don’t Even Wanna Be Here Anyhow
---
I Know It’s Almost Over, Two More Years To Endure
I Could Have Left A While Ago, I Could Have Been On Tour
But Instead I Wake Every Morning, With Fear And Loathing Instead
I Don’t Know What’s Stopping Me, I Feel Like I’m Hanging From A Thread
---
I Know Some Say That Time Is Short, But It’s Never Felt So Long
I Guess It’s Hard To Feel Alive, In A Place Where I Don’t Belong
I’m Counting Down As The Days Go By
Hope It’s Over In The Blink Of An Eye
---
But I Know I’ve Still Got A Way To Go, And People Will Assure Me
That These Are The Best Years Of Your Life, But They Don’t Even Know Me
So I’ll Still Sit Alone At An Empty Table, Reading Tragic Fairytales
Hoping That Some Day, Someone Comes To Rescue Me
And Hoping True Love Prevails
---
So Dear Diary, You Listen So Well
I Know I Probably Bore You, But I Know You’d Never Tell
So Without You By Side, Helping Me To Stay In Control
I Owe Everything To Your Pages, I Just Owe It All
---
I’ll Run Back Home, After Another Painful Day
I’ll Jot Down My Thoughts To Take The Blues Away
And As The Sun Rises Again, In The Beautiful Summer Morning
I’ll Take A Glance At The Previous Day And Take That As A Warning
---
So Dear Beautiful Diary, You’ve Got Me Through It All
Whenever I’ve Needed To Vent My Anger, Your At My Beck And Call
It Could Have Been So Easy, Just To Cry My Pain Away
But You Make Everything Feel Alright, You Help Pass The Time Of Day
---
And Although My Sorrow, Doesn’t Seem Close To Ending Yet
I’ll Look Back On These Pages, Without Regret
And When I’m Happy In My Life Someday
I’ll Smile As I’ve Come Such A Long Way
---
So Dear Diary, I Won’t Forget
You Helped Me Grow Up, From The Outset
I Owe A Lot To Your White Blank Pages
You Help Me Grow Up, Through The Ages

[Bonus Track] Track 13. Clip My Wings (Feat. Jack Straw)



Song Description
The music is given a backseat in this song as the emphasis is on the vocals by Amy Meyer and Jack Straw (of Fathers Of Fury), they sing about a (fictional) relationship and they guys unwillingness to show Public Displays of Affection “Kiss Me Quick, Because The Coast Is Clear/Just Hold My Hand, Because No One’s Looking/What’s Your Problem, It’s Not Like We’re …” with a slightly tongue-in-cheek lyric, this song seems to have been written in good humour, it’s also set to appear on Taylor Asbridge’s solo album although this version doesn’t feature the Dead Roses guitarist. The song is fast-paced and less ballad-esque as some other songs on the album.

Lyrics
{Amy Vocals}
So, Winter’s Over, And Summer’s Here
Kiss Me Quick, Because The Coast Is Clear
Just Hold My Hand, Cause No One’s Looking
What’s Your Problem, It’s Not Like We’re …
---
{Jack Vocals}
Not In Public, No One Should See That
It’s Not That I Don’t Love You
I Just Don’t Know Where We’re At
I Don’t Wanna Hurt You Or Ruin Your Dreams
---
{Amy Vocals}
But That’s How It Looks, It’s The Way It Seems
All I Ask For Is Some Affection
Not Some Crazy Extreme’s
I’ll Ask Once More But Then I’m Gone
---
{Jack Vocals}
Well Then There’s No Use In Us Going On
I’ll Get My Stuff And Move On Out
I’ll Take My Things No Need To Shout
I’ll Walk Away With My Head Held High
---
{Amy Vocals}
Before We Met, I Could Touch The Sky
Nothing Could Stop Me, And Nothing Will Now
I’ll Take All My Dreams, And Learn To Sing
I Won’t Regret This, I Won’t Regret A Thing
---
{Amy Vocals}
Because You’ll Clip My Wings
To Stop Me From Soaring
Another Night, Another Movie
It Had Gotten So Boring
---
{Jack Vocals}
You Wings Were Broken, When We First Met
All You Had Was Loneliness And Regret
I Put You Together, And Made You Feel Good
I Guess It Was Pointless And Misunderstood
---
{Amy Vocals}
You Clipped My Wings
To Stop Me From Soaring
You Made Me Cry
And Turned Everything Boring
---
{Amy Vocals}
You Forgot How To Love
And Forgot How To Live
I Gave You Everything I Could Possibly Give
And You Give Nothing Back
