My friend we've got a situation Somebody's got ideas well above their station Put up your hands - we have you surrounded! For we're not guilty of lowering the standard Don't take people down the garden path If you don't like where it leads Tread softly on the broken glass If you don't want to bleed Oh! So big and bold You're standing tall We don't wanna wake up the make up Oh! So big and bold You're standing tall Was it ever really beautiful? Have you played the game of blame? Written a list but missed off your own name Who is responsible who knows the truth? Everyone in the world but you Don't take people down the garden path If you don't like where it leads Tread softly on the broken glass If you don't want to bleed Oh! So big and bold You're standing tall We don't wanna wake up the make up Oh! So big and bold You're standing tall I don't buy this beginners luck What we've got's gonna leave you unstuck Say I'm better than I really am How would understand? How could you understand? Don't take people down the garden path If you don't like where it leads Tread softly on the broken glass If you don't want to bleed Oh! So big and bold You're standing tall We don't wanna wake up the make up Oh! So big and bold You're standing tall Was it ever really beautiful?

José 02:43
I think it was a year today I met you in the usual way No twist of fate You wanted to know the tricks of the trade There was nothing that I said You put those words in your own head You're looking for a special friend But that ain't me Coz we share different biology Hey! Jose! Hey! Jose! Hey! Jose! How can I tell you I don't like you in that way? I met a man from the Bay I think he said his name was Jose? He had a clearly marked game And it was me in the frame But I lost his admiring stare For my friend had more fierce hair I could tell by the smile on his lips and eyes of fire There's smoke in the air and it smells like desire Hey! Jose! Hey! Jose! Hey! Jose! How can I tell you I don't like you in that way? Hey! Jose! Hey! Jose! Hey! Jose! How can I tell you I don't like you in that way?

Ventura 03:30
You must have had a good time We've read it nationwide Found a co-conspirator put passion to the crime There's nothing much to do here on a Saturday night Spent up all that energy In a small room built for three Breaking down the barriers of old monogamy Cheap thrills are a plenty but they don't come for free We're desperate people, from a desperate land All you melonfarmers wouldn't understand Blame it on the boogie - or the drink in my hand We're under strain - oh Another bad case of DNA What if our lovers learn about this love affair? Better make a story up of women in despair He hurt us your honor - better give him the chair We're desperate people, from a desperate land All you melonfarmers wouldn't understand Blame it on the boogie - or the drink in my hand We're under strain - oh Another bad case of DNA Just one more thing Columbo There's something you should know Your Romeo - filmed the show All on his camera phone

about

Dukes of New York UK

Dukes of New York are a Pop/Rock band from the UK.

Our shiny new single is “Poor You”. With Zoe singing the lead vocal, it’s a song about the refusal to kowtow to the follies of the tame and the fake.

The EP “Wake Up” features 3 pumping tracks. “Wake Up the Make Up” (a reflection on mis-placed snobbery), “José” (unrequited love with a twist) & “Ventura” (inspired by tangled love lives).
