about

A tale of moths, melted headphones, fists and a fiery woman. She knows her way. Middle verse is slightly longer than the other two, on purpose.

REVIEW PRAISE FOR THIS TRACK
"the punchiest kicker on the album" – The Jitty

"could easily be an extended theme for any 1970’s spy-based television show. Chipper keys swing back and forth and that cocky riff keeps the tension going beneath the surface. The chorus is pure rock ‘n’ roll. This is a hugely gratifying frolic." – Raw Ramp Mag

"a little grittier, guitars being slightly more scathing and the chorus more driving" - 7bit Arcade

"A good riff and cracking rhythm section. The bass dominates, pumping out the rhythm on a great intro. It has a slightly edgier feel to it than the other tracks, thanks mainly to that bass and drums, and the good tempo and rhythm are kept up throughout" – Louder Than War

"its brilliant fiery riff has a really punchy 70s vibe" – Lyric Lounge Review

"a 70s pub-rocker with a 60s sound" – Vanguard

lyrics

LYRICS
She phase down, pulling up her fader
She compress every little thing
Makes it sound not a little smaller
Crisp and bright, ten killer watt rig
Load it up, run a little hotter
Melting my headphones in the fray
Fast guitar, lo-fi little keyboard
Drumming loud with big man's fists

But she knows, she knows her way home again
If God made fools, he'd make 'em like that again
She got made up and made up her mind again
She walks on by the flame

She's a moth attracted to the nightlife
Burning up, waiting for the rain
Down corridors holding up a candle
Up in flames and living by her name
Not one word, supersizeinjunction
There's a fire burning through the night
As the neon shines on the dysfunction
Personality's an oversight
Celebrity is always in the right

But she knows, she knows her way home again...
