END OF THE WORLD

I thought I saw something moving | Eyes in the dark | Under a cloud of confusion | They’re gonna tear you apart | I heard that girls are from Venus | And that guys are from Mars | But in the end they all leave us | Once they’ve destroyed your heart

Looking in your eyes | I can see forever | I heard somebody saying | We’re being hypnotised | And if it’s true | Then I really think this could be

The end of the world | The Sky’s falling down | So guys grab your girls | And spread the word around

I’d sell my soul to the Devil | If I had one to give | The line between good and evil | Is not a safe place to live | I guess that fate jogged the needle | As she was taking me in | But as the clock reaches zero, oh oh | I really think this could be

PARTY GIRL

The clock hit 12 as she entered the room | But If looks could kill then we all would be doomed | After just one kiss you’re not able to move | From her venomous lips and her poison perfume

She said | She starts swaying so sexy and looking at me and it got me | Caught in her mind control | This place is prison I’m |Chained up I give up and I’m at her mercy | She wouldn’t let me go

She said | She likes to dance all by herself coz she’s a party girl | She don’t care for nobody else he’s in her own world | I love this little party girl

I gotta leave this room coz it’s starting to spin | But there’s no escape | From this mess that I’m in | She can’t resist the temptation to sin | So pull your collar up before she sinks her teeth in

iF U C Kate

First time I saw her she was standing in line | Holding a book about compatible signs | I should have talked to her | I should have tried | But I was breathless by the look in her eyes

She introduced herself as Kate and I replied | Its nice to meet you it was love at first sight | I got excited | I lost my mind | I lost her number that read let’s have a good time

iF U C Kate | Tell her that I’m looking for her | She’s so fine | That girls been on my mind

I saw her friend that was in line that day | I had to tell her how I felt about Kate she said | Put her out your mind | Or stand in line | I’ve seen her do this to men | A thousand times

She had a rep for spreading all her love around | And everywhere she went Kate drew a crowd | It don’t bother me | That’s what I said | Coz I can’t seem to get that girl out of my head

Girl you’re a star | Shining like the sun | Whisper in my ear | You broaden my horizon | Stay with me and lets make it the longest day | Pour yourself into my mouth I love the way you taste | Pull you in tight | It feels so right | Girl I just wanna be the one | To take you to heaven tonight

SHINE A LIGHT

Tell me are you feeling strong | Strong enough to love someone | And make it through the hardest storm | And bad weather

Will you pull me from the flames | Hold me til I feel no pain | And give me shelter from the rain | Forever

Where can I find her

She took the light and left me in the dark | She left me with a broken heart | Now I’m on my own | If anybody sees her

Shine a light on her

Tell me can you hear my voice | Loud and clear above the noise | And even if I had the choice | I would not give up

I’LL BE YOUR MAN

Been all around the world | I’ve never met a girl | That does the things you do | And puts me in the mood | To love you | And treat you right | So come here | And close your eyes | And lie back | Release your mind | And let the world fall down | While I’m by your side

I’ll be your man through the fire | I’ll hold your hand through the flames | I’ll be the one you desire | ‘cause I want you to understand | I’ll be your man

I could lay with you for days | And v | There’s lipstick on my face | And I love the way you taste | And I’m right here | So lock the door | ‘cause you need me | But I need you more | And I don’t care | About your mistakes | Because they all went away | When I found you Katy

NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN

I’ve got nowhere left to run | I’ve got nowhere left to hide | If you leave me | If you leave me | I would die

Without you I’m not a survivor | Without you | Without you I’m not a survivor | I can’t live | Without you I’m not a survivor

‘Cause I need you | Yes I need you | To save me | To save me | From the doom

I’ve got no more love to give | I’ve got no more tears to cry | If you leave me | If you leave | I would die

THATS THE TRUTH

I feel like I’ve been put on trial with you | I know that’s something’s wrong and I’m the one accused | When the verdict’s in, it’s us that’s gonna lose | I can’t wait for you to finally hear the truth

Cos I shouldn’t have to plead my case | So much love to save

If you listen to the things that your friends say you’re gonna be lonely | How can you treat me like that when I give my all to you | Cos I haven’t been messing around, I wouldn’t ever go out and do things that you don’t want me to do | Cos I can tell you right now that you’ll never find evidence on me | That’s the truth | Yeah, that’s the truth

I need a lawyer just to talk and who’s telling you what to say | They wish the had what we had and it’s jealousy in the way | Cos I can’t sit round and watch them build a case | And there’s no saving us now I’m just doing this to clear my name

I NEED A WOMAN

I’ve been searching for some | Love and affection but there’s nobody giving me that kind of attention | I’m alone | Oh, I’m alone

Can’t help thinking that there’s | Somebody missing who should | Hold me and please me ‘til I’m | Tired of her kissing | I’m alone | Oh, I’m alone

But when it gets to midnight | I’m in my bed alone | You’re all I want | You’re all I need | It’s cold in the night | But I’m looking for the heat

Baby I, I need a woman | Not any woman | But a woman who needs me too | So how about you?

Songs on the radio are | Just carbon copies of the | Way that I’m feeling after | Five cups of coffee | I’m alone | Oh, I’m alone

But when it gets to sunrise | I’m waking up alone | You’re all I want | You’re all I need | This bed is burning up 99 degrees

TAKE ME THERE

I don’t ever want to spend another day without you, without you | I don’t think that I’d be standing here if I never found you, never found you

Right now the sun is in your eyes, the moment has arrived to see | Right now there ain’t no better time, I feel like you’re alive in me

Can you take me, can you take me, can you take me there

I get anxious just to know that you’re the one I come home to, come home to | Being without you makes me suffocate cos baby I breath you, I breath you

I feel like something is special here, I feel like something is special, I feel like something is special here, I feel like something is special with you

THIS SONG

Somewhere in the world, someone’s making love to this song right now | Somewhere on the Earth, someone’s driving home to their soul

Wrap your legs around me and make the most of the ride | By turning up your mind

Got to lose control | Release the fire in your soul | And your desires let me know | I’ll try, Girl I’ll try to make you happy | I won’t stop until the day that I die

Somewhere in this town, cover bands are playing this song right now

Cos I need you woman, to be all over me | I could be your someone and give, give, give you what you need

FOOLISH

I never thought she’d remember | The way that I left her heart | Didn’t know I had it all | Till the moment I lost it all | People mind mistakes and fall | And she won’t ever recover

I couldn’t get over | And I could never move home | And I’m trying to recall | From the day I made her fall | She was broken on the floor | I made her shattered

Foolish for me to think she wouldn’t leave by December | Foolish to let misery let it fall apart in autumn | Driving on a one way street | Now U - turn to get back to me | Running close to empty | But I’ll, I’ll never say goodbye

And now I’m running in circles | Feels like I’m losing my mind | And I’m trying to get off | Anywhere before she’s gone | Going down this lonely road | Hoping to see her again

Cos I keep seeing in reflections | Flashes in every mirror | Kissing her when I’m alone | Making love until the dawn | Now that every night I know | Can’t live without her

TOMThe main people I want to thank for this album are the fans. Thanks for everything you have done and continue to do to keep Mcfly alive. You are all as much a part of what Mcfly is as Danny, Dougie, Harry and myself. I don’t believe that any band is ever truly 100% happy with their album and wishes they had more time but looking back over the past 2 years that it has taken to write and record the album you now hold in your hands, i know that we put everything we possibly could into it. This album really feels like the start of a new era for us so please listen to it with open minds and i hope you enjoy it as much as anything else we have created. Thanks to Fletch, we owe you more thanks than I can fit into this short space. We are all so lucky to have manager who is so passionate about what we do. The past 2 years have been amazing and i can’t wait to see how it all pans out! You are more than a manager, you are a great friend. Thanks to Richard and Darren for your hard work and belief in us and for 7 incredible years. All the guys out in Atlanta that worked so hard on this record. Ric, Naz, Boston, Shanay, and of course, the one and only Dallas Austin! Working with you was one hell of an experience. Thanks for letting us into your world for a short time and crafting this new sound with us. We miss you guys and Atlanta! Let’s do it again soon with less gym sessions and more Patron! Taio Cruz it was a pleasure writing with you. Alan Nglish and all who worked
