lyrics

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?

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).
