Lyrics

Ordinary

Go and sit on the edge
You can be honest now, no need to pretend
If I did something wrong, please do take offense
I want to see you in your emotions again
Again, again

All this talk is chokin' me up
You'll need help when I'm not in love
Know that I'd move heaven and earth
To shine a light for you
Tell me then, what is it you want?
Beg to someone you never loved
Tell yourself that it's comfortable
When you know that that's not true

Oh, is this what you want?
Is this what you came for?
We live for the ordinary
Ordinary
I see it in your eyes
We lost the fire inside
You get by the ordinary
Ordinary

Let's play make believe
That you have everything that you have ever dreamed
Would you still be happy in reality?
Or are you in need of something that's more exciting?
'Cause I swear

All this talk is chokin' me up
You'll need help when I'm not in love
Know that I'd move heaven and earth
To shine a light for you
Tell me then, what is it you want?
Beg to someone you never loved
Tell yourself that it's comfortable
When you know that that's not true

Oh, is this what you want?
Is this what you came for?
We live for the ordinary
Ordinary
I see it in your eyes
We lost the fire inside
You get by the ordinary
Ordinary, oh, oh, oh
Ordinary, oh, oh, oh

Ordinary
Tell me is it wasted?
Life far from, life far from perfect
I pick myself up and go with surface (I get up)
I pick myself up and go with surface
I get up! (Does it make you nervous?)
As plain as, as plain as the surface (the fucking surface)
Tell me who wants to be broken on purpose?
Tell me who wants to be broken on purpose?

Oh, is this what you want?
Is this what you came for?
We live for the ordinary
Ordinary
I see it in your eyes
We lost the fire inside
You get by the ordinary
Ordinary, oh, oh, oh
Ordinary, oh, oh, oh

Ordinary

    Yonaka step up at London headline show

    Yonaka have had a busy summer. The band who took to The Great Escape, full of blurred lines, jagged edges and a hurried want for the party to start on their own terms were not the same beast by the time Reading & Leeds rolled around. That need to get things moving was still ever present, but carried by a confidence in the build and the thrill of the chase, they were bigger, better and more potent. With a handful of anthems-in-waiting at their disposal and the buzz of the new, Yonaka bloomed. Tonight as the headline London’s The Borderline, things change once more. Starting the excitement from scratch, the gang colour the night in their own terms. From the word go, they toy with light and shade, fury and frenzy. There’s a space to play so of course Yonaka use it. Four songs in and ‘Wouldn’t Wanna Be Ya’ hits. Instantly the excitement finds a new level to bounce from and carnage reigns. The whirling chaos carries on through ‘Drongo’ as Yonaka push for more. Constantly driving things forward and pushing at the walls, theirs is an undeniable energy that lights up the room. Normally the slow burn of ‘All In My Head’ is used as a pause for breath but tonight, there’s simply no stopping them. ‘Ignorance’ and ‘Bubblegum’ lift things even further, a flurry of electric shapes, realised potential and swaggering wonder. There’s always been something special to Yonaka, an attitude and a need for space, and tonight sees them taking control in glorious high-definition.
