Kids don't play guitar for free Kids will touch the stars, you'll see Kids will mend the scars Let's all drop the bomb Kids will play guitar for free Nicotine and Cocaine, everybody's okay Kids don't play guitar like me Kids can't trust a man who never bleeds Hold the hand that's scarred Let's all break the bonds Kids will crush the powers that be Nicotine and Cocaine, everybody's okay (I'm holding on) I can't tell that it's not over You see that I've got older It's not over 'til it's over Kids will mend the scars Let's all drop the bomb Kids will crush the powers that be Nicotine and Cocaine, everybody's okay

Call me up, call me up, when you want to feel down Simmer down, simmer down, you are all wound up It's like novocaine, you'll never know It's like novocaine, just let it go Hit me up, hit me up, but don't knock me down Shout out loud, shout out loud, but don't make a sound It's like novocaine, you'll never know It's like novocaine, just let it go You and me are over We go together you and me Like sunshine You and me And I know it's all over now Never let go of you Tie me up, tie me up It's like novocaine Tie me up, tie me up, my hearts feeling bound Sign me up, sign me up, I'll always be around It's like novocaine, you'll never know It's like novocaine, just let it go We go together you and me Like sunshine You and me Are over

Be Told 03:19
I know what I wanna be told You don't ever wanna be told I know what I wanna be told When I've been told You know what it's like to be cold I don't ever wanna be held You know you're killing every thing That I've ever been told I don't ever wanna be found Hit me, I'm never gonna calm down I know what I wanna be told When I've been told But you left me many days ago I was honest, I was needless Wanted to see if I could not breathe now While under the sea Wanted to see if I could not leave now While under the sea Now my morning's broken And now my blackbird has spoken I know even if I fell down Lie there, standing on my own ground You know you've killed every thing That I've ever been told But you left me many days ago I was honest, I was needless

Long black limousine is parked Every day Watching out from in the dark Every day Times been tearing me apart Every day Always ending at the start Every day Hey now The dream is common cause I'm in love with you Hey now You and me alone now baby I'm a gonna be the mess that I'm made of You and me alone Trying to be the best of me Trying to be my own I don't wanna come home (You and me) I don't wanna be alone again (You and me) Trying to be Something in my soul was lost Every day Reaching out I'll leave a mark Every day Hey now The dream is common cause I'm in love with you Hey now You and me alone now baby I'm a gonna be the mess that I'm made of You and me alone

Apple's green and my teeth are in again Always thought that our love would come for free It's 4am and it's late again, oh no Never thought we'd agree to disagree But when you stop and say hello Stop and say hello, I won't be there Saw your message on the telephone, oh no Always thought that you'd wait so patiently Breathing in while you're breathing out Counting one, counting two, while you're on three But when you stop and say hello Stop and say hello, I won't Stop and say hello, I won't be there Wanna stay with you (Don't wanna stay with you) Baby if you want to Only you can change your ways Maybe if you come through The damage has been done for days Being far above you Never thought you'd fall from grace Save me if you want to Collect the pieces of your broken heart and then Hoping that my words can glue your need Crying in as you're laughing out Leaving now, giving you the space - you breathe But when you stop and say hello Stop and say hello, I won't Stop and say hello, I won't be there Wanna stay with you (Don't wanna stay with you) Stay stay with you now (Say stay with you)

Here I am, drink me up Don't run me over, it's all right Unapproaching individual Golden idol of the night You don't know what you want to do Everybody wants to You don't know what you want to do Everybody wants you All the girls in the back say "Hey!" All the girls in the back say "Hey!" Here I am, soak me up Don't run for cover, I'm dynamite I'm the one at the top Self masturbation, the future's mine You don't know what you want to do Everybody wants to You don't know what you want to do Everybody wants you All the girls in the back say "Hey!" All the girls in the back say "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" (Hey) Come on to the dance floor Dance floor bandits I'm the one to make you stop You wanna lick me through the night Struck by lightning, unattainable A shrine above you for the fight You don't know what you want to do Everybody wants to You don't know what you want to do Everybody wants you All the girls in the back say "Hey!" All the girls in the back say "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" (Hey) Come on to the dance floor Dance floor bandits Every other day, every other day "Hey! Hey!"

Heaven 03:46
Heaven is last on your list oh Heaven is lost on your lips oh And you laughed and you laughed oh Then you left and you left oh (Please don't take me home) Signed it away with a kiss oh Signed it away on a wish oh (Please don't leave me alone) And you laughed and you laughed oh Then you left and you left oh You waited by the shore, should have been there I waited in a middle psalm She hates the way she makes me feel She hates the way - She makes me feel Severed your heart on a risk oh Heaven's a part of your gift oh (Please don't take me home) And you laughed and you laughed oh (Please don't leave me alone) Then you left and you left oh You waited by the shore, should have been there I waited in a middle psalm She hates the way she makes me feel She hates the way - She makes me feel And she breathes out (and around) She knows she's on her last legs And she calls out She breathes in (and around) She knows she's on her last breath And she reached out And he answered You waited by the shore, should have been there I waited in a middle psalm She hates the way she makes me feel She hates the way - She makes me feel Heaven is last on your list oh

It's Monday and I sit all alone at the table It's not the first time The food's cold the wine's warm, but you said that you'd make it I think I'll be fine, It's not a big crime It's Tuesday and it's late and I wait at the movies I'm sure she is fine She calls me to tell me that she's not gonna make it The girl is still mine She gives me another time And I'll stay all day Wednesday Wednesday It's Wednesday and I've sat the whole day at the window I know she'll come by She calls me to tell me that she's not gonna make it The girl is still mine She gives me another lie And I'll stay all day Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday I will talk to you in time In time, in time And I'll stay all day Wednesday (I'll stay) And I'll stay all day

Mona Lisa 03:29
Right brain's insane Gonna use my left brain And I know, I don't wanna be so proud You don't have to be around when I held you in place It's all contained Gonna use my head pain And I know, I don't wanna be so proud (but you are) You don't have to be around but You held me in pain It's all her reign Living in my guilt stains And I know, I don't wanna be so proud (in a lie) You don't have to be around and He used you in vain Right brain's insane Gonna use my left brain And I know, I don't wanna be so proud You don't have to be around and I held you in place Hooo, hooo Like Mona Lisa A masterpiece of... A masterpiece of... I wanted to, I want it to hurt (And I need it) I want it too, I want it to hurt It's all contained Gonna use my head pain And I know, I don't wanna be so proud You don't have to be around but You'll call me again Hooo, hooo Like Mona Lisa A masterpiece of... You don't know this song But I bet you wanna sing along

about

The Vision Hotel (formerly known as Concorde)

On their debut album, Mess I’m Made Of, this uber-stylish ensemble—members resemble KGB agents, Eastern European femme fatales, and ’70s porn stars—sounds as chic as it looks. Midnight guitar chords brush up against slinky bass lines, new-wavey synths, refined six-string melodies, and the scintillating vocal interplay between Small and Brigg (think Billy Corgan romancing Saint Etienne’s Sarah Cracknell) to swank, sexy ends. - MICHAEL ALAN GOLDBERG

about

The Vision Hotel Seattle, Washington

Between 2005-7 (while each were running gaming companies), Javier Garavito & Shane Small wrote, produced, recorded, & revealed their musical vision to the world. Sounding as chic as they looked, Concorde's members resembled KGB agents, Eastern European femme fatales, & ’70s porn stars.
