Last week was all about New Young Pony Club. I've always liked them but as I pumped up my iPod on Friday afternoon, after a particularly hard week at work, I realised that I pretty much love them. It is always a sign when I get on to my brother and insist that he listen to something.
“Chaos” is the second track on the album The Optimist. I love the powerful, emotional sound to the track and was surprised to see that I hadn’t rated it before. I quickly gave it four stars (five stars is only reserved for tracks that I play over and over again on repeat).
It is actually my second favourite song on the album but my favourite, “Stone” doesn’t have an official video. You can listen to “Stone” on YouTube.
I’ve heard a terrible rumour that the band have split and aren’t planning on releasing new material. I really hope it isn’t so.
Lyrics
"Chaos" by New Young Pony Club
The Optimist
You like your motor on
The world is in your wake
Revving up for your snow white sideshow, never deviates
You've got the people singing lalala
Strung out on your Midas moment
You got the people singing lalala
White wash all your life till the lights go down
Oh no
The things you'll never know
You got the moment, tell me what's the answer
You got the instinct, tell me what's the answer
We like a little chaos
We like a little thrill
Don't take the breaks that were meant to save us
Make life a bitter pill
You got us lining up line on line
You've got us lining up line on line
For the answers you wake up with
Oh no
The things you'll never know
You got the moment, tell me what's the answer
You got the instinct, tell me what's the answer
You got us lining up
(line on line)
Line on line
You got us lining up
(line on line)
You've got us lining up line on line
You got us lining up
(line on line)
You've got us lining up, You've got us lining up
Oh no
The things you'll never know
You got the moment, tell me what's the answer
You got the instinct, tell me what's the answer
Oh no
Oh no
The things you'll never know
