Lyrics

Overload

[Verse 1]

Strange fear I ain't felt for years

The boy's coming and I'm close to tears

I can't let go of you now

[Verse 2]

Imagination's playing round for free

In my world I take him out for tea

Oh my God, can't say no

[Verse 3]

Skipping school, go walk for air

I just had to get out of bed

I'm on overload in my head

[Chorus]

Train comes I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Train comes I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

[Verse 4]

Life is a dream, time does come true

And in my sleep I think of you

Feather bed by myself

[Verse 5]

Basically probability

Says that fate's come side with me

It's been so long on my shelf

[Chorus]

Train comes I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Train comes I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

[Bridge]

The tension is incredible, boy I'm in charge

You know how I feel for you

Will you stop, or will you just keep going

Please don't say no, no, no, no

[Chorus]

Train comes I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Train comes I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

[Chorus]

Train comes I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Train comes I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Small room, big moment: Bastille do The 100 Club for Dork 100

No other words needed for what stands as one of the biggest shows your neighbourhood pop magazine has put on - and one of THE shows of 2025.

At a packed-out London's Brixton Academy, Bastille gear up for a mammoth year

Dan Smith is kicking back on the sofa. His hood is over his head; his knees pressed tight to his chest - it’s the sort of things we’ve all done on a Sunday afternoon. Except, there’s something a bit different about the situation Dan finds himself in - just the small matter of singing an unreleased s

Bastille prove no stage is too big at Reading 2017

Bastille seem almost surprised to find themselves second top of the bill at Reading Festival. It’s understandable too. Theirs is a rise low on showy grandstanding, built on a foundation of enthusiastic and devoted fans, and an ear for a hook. Setting up camp on the airwaves, they’ve earned this the

Bastille triumph alongside Alt-J, Skepta and more on day two of Lowlands 2017

It's the second day of Lowlands Festival and the wide eyed chaos is settling. Guerrilla games of musical chairs don't seem as wacky, the lineup doesn't seem as bizarre. And then Husky Loops take to the stage. Rather than plug in and play, there's a theatre to…
