about

"Aaron and I were at our friend's place in France, recording the demo for 'You Don't Get It', when I came out with the first chord sequence for 'Mess We're In'... we felt like naughty school boys inverted: up early when we should have been sleeping in, writing pop when we should have been rocking out!" - Adam Kidd

"Sometimes I'll bring a serious song topic and Adam will help me script it, adding character and body to the theme, ending up in what we like to consider shameless pop." - Aaron Neville

"We wrote the lyric about a femme fatale who is past her prime, oblivious to the impending doom of her current situation. Written from the perspective of a bloke who was under her spell but has realised he's got to get out while he can. Just a bit of fun, really!" - Adam Kidd

lyrics

Mess We're In

With your permission I will walk away now
I’ve seen too much to make me stay
I’m growing tired of the games you play girl
You stayed the same but the rules have changed

We were young and we were foolish
Made mistakes like anyone would
I’m your lap-dog, struck by cupid
Under your spell, I could not see it

You owe money over both sides of town
I see that trouble’s coming - it’s tracking you down
Used your beauty like a work of art
But you can’t see that it’s falling apart

You went too far now there’s no turning back
Your façade is crumbling starting to crack
How’d it get to be so serious?
Can’t you see... what a mess we’re in?

We were young and we were foolish
Now we’re older - no excuses
Tried to tell you - you won’t listen
Can I leave with, your permission?

You went too far now there’s no turning back
Your façade is crumbling starting to crack
How’d it get to be so serious?
Can’t you see... what a mess we’re in?

You always thought I would be there for you
But this is crazy baby that’s why we’re through
How’d it get to be so serious?
Can’t you see...?
