Holy Ghost 03:18
I could be the one you Never thought you’d come to I could be the love You never thought you’d learn to love I’ll give you the keys to the rising sun I’m not here to please you Give it to the ones who Doubt every feeling They’re demeaning to their ratting bones Form a queue, fight the beast for the Albion. When the chips are down Don’t hope for the rope Open your eyes or fall short when you’re holding on Picking up the peaces one by one I’ve got a thought you should know Hanging heavily on my head Are you listening? Holy Ghost

I'm Your Man 03:00
You can’t hold me down Or throw me away You’ll have to put me to ground Lock me in a cage Who will take this? With the grasp of a weary hand Oh Greatness, I’m your man Mount up, throwing it down Coming to stay Wound up, been too long now No way to contain Who will take this? With the grasp of a weary hand Oh Greatness, I’m your man

This Town 03:26
There’s a crowd on the street Making sounds We know what’s coming now Let’s take a drive to the other side of this fucked up town Where fools go To right their wrongs And broken souls Ignore lost loves A nation full of lies in a world that they contain What a way for a young man to make it through his day to days Take what is yours Before it’s gone At a time you choose Or be consumed It won’t rest this town It won’t rest this town It won’t rest this town It won’t rest this town

Go, jump back on the road We’re going back down your town Roll up into a bar We’re throwing our arms around You want me to love you Oh my dear You want me to wrap you up in tears You want me to sell my soul for it all On the side of the road Go, jump back on the road Not holding my breath for rest No one can control what happens next Just guess

Will I see you come next June? When our lives have caught up with what we're trying to prove As I try to write down my life down avoiding truth I gotta to tell you honey, this one is all for you Well these years have come and gone like a bus And I hope we're wrong but the truth is love That our situation oh it's real fucked up Will I see you come next June? Another age in my eye and maybe a new tattoo To say I'll try to talk you around won't be the truth I'll just do my best not to call you back too soon Well we've tried and tried and gone insane I'd love to say that it's all one way But I can't so I guess I'll see you again some day Will I see you come next June? At high tide on the promenade under a full moon Again soon I'll share my last virginia with you Keep your bags packed for me I'll be coming back through Will I see you come next June? When our lives have caught up with what we're trying to prove Will I see you come next June? Keep your bags packed for me I'll be coming back through Keep your bags packed for me I'll be coming back through

Heavy Soul 04:18
As I role down my sleeves I start to understand Life’s symphony Through these eyes of mine I can finally see How all hope is kept under lock and key And I’ll walk back down that road To the place I call my home Only by what becomes of me Will help me carry my load Must it keep holding on now? Let go of my heavy soul And I’ll walk back down that road To the place I call my home Will I stay or will I go Will the journey let me on? With the sun on the rise We will hold on to tonight Baby darling don’t you cry We’ll keep praying to the sky

Well I know Yes I know Just how much I hurt you so Because when I call I hear no reply As I think I’ve had my Long kiss goodbye And in your eyes I see your pain But will I Find Mercy Because when I call I hear no reply As I think I’ve had my Long kiss goodbye And I can’t roll with you no more As I’ve had enough of holding on
8.
Oh what you doing? Oh what you saying to me? I’ve got this cold blooded One I can’t afford to leave Like a wolf Going for that open door When you hit the ground running You gotta go hard and low No I can’t remember How this ever came to be Just it was a night in December The cold was rushing over me Like a boat Fallen to the ocean floor When you hit the ground running You gotta go hard and low Got this girl in the city If could only find a way to hold But with a sixth sense on the wind and I’m feeling like a rolling stone

Dirty words always fall on ears so cheap Your vows, they mystify me When are they coming back? Golden sunset cops the eyes of me. Another day, another dawn is near I am loosing track As I go, and fight the war This loaded gun in the hand of god A cherished moment Brings you to your knees I may forget But I still believe Of which there’s no return As I go, and fight the war This loaded gun in the hand of god And all because those words don’t wash I will become the legend of...

Sucker Punch 04:59
You caught my breath As you walk away A sucker punch Right down by the waist Do you know what you’re doing? Know, what you’re doing to me? The kind of women that I like to see The kind I like rested up on me Well I hope that you’re thinking Hope that you’re saying the same Are you gonna, Ease my soul Are you gonna, Be the light I took a walk with you by the lake Talked a tale one day I will make, For me oh some day Me, on the day of my dawn Are you gonna, Ease my soul Are you gonna, Be the light Don’t be adding to my load Don’t be wasting none of my time

about

This record is the debut album from This Boy Wonders. Released in early 2012 it has already captured a lot of attention. It has a vintage mixed with contemporary feel with comparisons being thrown around to the likes of the Rolling Stones, Kings of Leon to Oasis, whilst also being a big favorite of the bands local BBC introducing team. Of which sent them to play the stages of Reading and Leeds 2011.

The album pushes all kinds of different sounds, from big bluesy riff driven tracks like 'Long Kiss Goodbye' to acoustic vibe ballad 'Come Next June'. Moments that carry a certain 'epic' feel in 'Sucker punch', a song that has fastly become the bands most popular track at their live performances. Along with another track 'Hit the Ground Running' that is hard to not shuffle your feet too. All though still managing to fit seamlessly next to each other to create a class record.
