Rockstars is the first track from our latest project, The Getaway.
It's about the nostalgia we feel when hearing old songs from when we were growing up and in particular, the way listening in a car amplifies that experience!
lyrics
Alright Joe remember when, when we was like
Bass up, windows down
Take her out, Round and Round
Not too far coz I've not much cash
And petrol's so expensive now
I would sit out on my drive all night
Waiting for the day that my license arrives
And when that day arrives
You better bet we ride
Like Rush we gonna Fly By Night
Here in my car I'm a rockstar
You a rockstar
He's a rockstar
We the rockstars yeah
Here in my car I'm a rockstar
You a rockstar
She's a rockstar
We the rockstars yeah
Damn this is dangerous
Giving me the keys to the car to let me play with it
And I won't be home for ages
Dinner in the microwave, cheers mum for saving it
Feel like dons now, get the ladies
Maybe even start a band, Indi and The Vegas
We growing up quick this is crazy
Purple Haze, lemonade, everyday
I believe, this machine, she's supreme
She's everything I hoped and dreamed
See my friends, see the sights
We feel alright, we're alright
Here in my car I'm a rockstar
You a rockstar
He's a rockstar
We the rockstars yeah
Here in my car I'm a rockstar
You a rockstar
She's a rockstar
We the rockstars yeah
Queen, Incubus then Blink
Prince, and MJ The King
For me it was Tupac for the win
But Biggie got a few tunes I can vibe with
Greenday, Dookie for days
Basket Case yeah that song's crazy
I'll never forget who taught me to play
I had Chuck, Clapton, Brian May
It was killer in the summer watched Fresh Price with supper
And Everything I Do topped the charts for like forever
Whitney in the Bodyguard, Shaggy Mr. LoverLover
And how could I forget
SHABBA
Here in my car I'm a rockstar
You a rockstar
He's a rockstar
We the rockstars yeah
Here in my car I'm a rockstar
You a rockstar
She's a rockstar
We the rockstars yeah
Here in my car I'm a rockstar
You a rockstar
He's a rockstar
We the rockstars yeah
Here in my car I'm a rockstar
You a rockstar
She's a rockstar
We the rockstars yeah
