Happy Tunes - 'The Great Escape' by Boyslikegirls

Yes, Happy Tunes recommendation 2 belongs to Boyslikegirls. I picked the album off the shelve, cos it had the comment 'one of the top 100 you must know bands in 2007' as quoted on spin.com. Think about it... top 100 bands of 2007... like a bit insignificant right? haha. The truth is, I didn't even know them before this and so it must be one of my lucky buys. But this album is great, it rocks! The band sounds pretty much like The All-American Rejects. Therefore, if you like them you will love this album. Hey alligator 2... this is the band we were discussing about one of our trips home, remember you asked me what band it was?

I choose this track 'The Great Escape' because its all about putting those 'yesterdays', 'wrongs' and worries aside and rejoice cos at least we got tonight and now. Basically, enjoy the moment you are in, do whatever you wanna do now and don't be bothered with the past. So yar, Kinda positive, if you know what I mean.

So folks I hope you love this track... give new bands a chance... don't pirate. Well thinking of getting the 'Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' next... but thats gonna be in a while.

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause were young
And we'll feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
