Lyrics

Curse

[Intro]

I mean, I keep saying this over and over again

I don't love this, I don't care about this stuff that much

I'm just too damn good at it to walk away

Too damn good at it to walk away

[Verse 1]

I got ten out of ten in a '90s kid quiz, something to be proud of

We made a pretty small dent in the biz they call show, never made the Sound Of

I don't talk to my friends, they know not to depend, this is a song you can die from

Started at home, sweet home, backed-up debt from my phone and a dotted line to sign on

[Chorus]

And it's a curse, but you can't give up with the last of the punk rockers

Please leave a light on

Please leave a light on

[Verse 2]

I need to learn how to limit my public image, I should stop going on about it

Everyone's childhood was a little bit shit, Larkin was right about it

But I'm an artist, you see, good enough reason for me, run away and join the circus

You should read through my tweets, then maybe you will see I just do it for the company

[Chorus]

And it's a curse, but you can't give up with the last of the punk rockers

Please leave a light on

Please leave a light on

[Bridge]

It's hard enough to chase a dream in this slowly dying industry, do you have the heart?

Are you brave enough? Do you still believe? Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts

[Verse 3]

Laughed out the room when Pythagoras said the world wasn't flat

And Vincent van Gogh cut his ear off when he learned of this fact

Mr. Kafka wrote a play that no one ever went and saw

Shakespeare's overrated, Bach is a bore

I only heard of Edgar Allan Poe

From that Halloween Simpsons episode

I've got no BAFTA or Olivier or Golden Globe

I've got lots to tell, nothing to show, it's a curse

[Chorus]

And it's a curse (It's a curse), but you can't give up with the last of the punk rockers

Please leave a light on

Please leave a light on

    The Rhythm Method and Shame provoke a revolution at London's Scala
    Live

    The Rhythm Method and Shame provoke a revolution at London's Scala

    For a band who thrive on stage, taking a step up can be daunting. Then again, Shame aren’t like any other band; they’re bringing a whole vibrant scene with them - one that feels wired full of life and vigour, the defiant kick of a generation finding their voice. They’re are the megaphone amplifying the anger, fears and passion felt in a new age - and London's Scala stands as the moment where their path is primed and set. First on, Hotel Lux are a band who, even when opening, make sure to leave their mark. Their woozy and stalking menace brings a chill on each track. Their moment will come, and when it does, it’s bound to be unmissable. With a knack for making every stage their own, it’s mere moments before the packed rows succumb to The Rhythm Method’s alt-disco hooks. Frontman Joey seizes the role of enigmatic wordsmith with primetime swagger, provoking a desire for a knees-up with a band who feel incredibly fresh yet comfortingly classic at the same time. It shimmers from ‘Something For The Weekend’, soundtracking the mundane screens of life in the 21st century with a wink and a smile. Yet what takes things to an altogether new level is that underlying sense of purpose. Irresistibly euphoric, ‘Party Politics’ triggers beaming smiles across the room, while ‘Home Sweet Home’ and its poignant sense of reality is mesmerising. The Rhythm Method are serving notice of their ambitions. “Good songs, aren’t they?” chimes Joey in the midst of the set. Yep, mate. They are. When Shame were playing the pubs and basements that first made their name, there was always a hint of something bigger. A sense that those venues didn’t quite do justice to the importance of what they could stand for. That responsibility is broadcast loud and clear from the moment frontman Charlie Steen strides onto the stage with a tin-foil mask wrapped around him, seizing the role. Embracing that headline status and searing with a confidence that comes from countless nights of experience, tonight ignites from the very first note - a visceral, punchy and vital strike at where they deserve to be. Fleshed out, they’re a cut above their challengers, a pack basking in adoration with the anthems and ferocity to back it up. Latest track ‘Concrete’ captures their evolution perfectly, arms thrown aloft and bodies shaking with intensity. Shame have the material to leave no doubts wherever they go. Throwing himself into the crowd over and over, Charlie holds a magnetic presence. Few bands can reach that level of sheer devotion, where the dropping feel of sweat and the purest of connections radiate on each and every track. The succession of ‘The Lick’ into ‘Tasteless’ is enough to trigger a riot, with Charlie outstretched and triumphant - while new tracks like ‘Friction’ and ‘Angie’ point to a band revelling in their own creativity. He stands defiantly on top of the speakers as closer ‘Gold Hole’ is met with the feverish reaction it’s always looked for, realised in its biggest moment. This is the night that confirms what Shame are destined for. Not just because of their ability to channel emotions into a full-throttle live package, but because they might just provoke a revolution to back it up. “No one ever made a change standing still,” Charlie spits into the crowd, moments before he’s held aloft in the middle of Scala, reaching down to the masses beneath. The seeds of change point to something truly special.
