Through the door, 'cross the floor in a pair of ankle boots
On the bus, she can't hear much, 'cept the song she's listening to
Riding down the street, moving to a rock 'n' roll beat
Feeling the euphoria, the chorus of Victoria
She's floating on a cloud, she's gonna
Stay up now
Don't wait up now
At the show, a guy she knows is buried in his phone
No idea what's happening here, yeah he might as well stay home
There just to be seen, living in some rock 'n' roll dream
Once he felt the magic, too, but sun has set at Waterloo
Now he doesn't even seem to notice
So she takes him by the wrist and grabs the phone out of his fist
Come on, man, wake up! They're gonna
Play it loud
Paint the sound
So put it down
Let's shake it now
Ten o'clock. Time to rock. Got my gain turned up to eight.
Gonna swim, yeah, dive right into the sound. Oh I can't wait!
Riding on the waves, rock 'n' roll music saves
Play it loose or play it tight, just keep on rocking through the night
Play it 'til we can't get any higher
No exception to the rule, play it hot or play it cool
When the lights go up we're gonna
Play it loud
Slay the crowd
So shake it now
We'll take a bow

Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL
XTC had their moment in time...this recording extends it...Full of small, tight , quirky songs it juz rolls along. Recommended but maybe only for XTC fans.. cwhitney
