I'm sorry if I caused alarm and made you p-p-p-panic But see these voices in my head they drive me m-m-m-manic I tripped up, slipped up, did a bad thing I can't get no peace 'cause my mind r-r-r-rings I have always been attracted to the d-d-d-danger I cleaned up a little, yeah, but it was never a stranger All day, all night, never switch off Grave shift worker, now I'm my own boss (Ahhh) It was never, it was never enough My night paralysis screams, but nobody wakes up I ask politely, "Can I leave?", but there's a hole in my boat Oh I'm sinking, oh I'm sinking, oh I'm sinking (oh) P-A-N-I-C Your empty dеath threats ain't got nothing on me I'll take it to thе grave when I R.I.P, when I'm gone (You good for nothing son of a gun I'll take you down) Know your enemy when drowning your soul 'cause the drinks are free And the powder's cut up blow it all on me c-c'mon (You good for nothing son of a gun I'll take you down) You won't like me when you see me losing c-c-c-control I flipped the switch the day my personality got stolen Ripped off, pissed off, understatement And I've been living with this bitch, my new replacement Over and over and over again I tell her the rules, but she always breaks them Leaves me in a frenzy, leaves me to clean up It's sticky, so sticky, so sticky, I'm stuck P-A-N-I-C Your empty death threats ain't got nothing on me I'll take it to the grave when I R.I.P, when I'm gone (You good for nothing son of a gun I'll take you down) Know your enemy when drowning your soul 'cause drinks are free And the powder's cut up, blow it all on me c-c'mon (You good for nothing son of a gun I'll take you down) (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) P-A-N-I-C Your empty death threats ain't got nothing on me I'll take it to the grave when I R.I.P, when I'm gone (You good for nothing son of a gun I'll take you down) Know your enemy when drowning your soul 'cause drinks are free And the powder's cut up, blow it all on me c-c'mon (You good for nothing son of a gun I'll take you down)

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.
