Song Lyrics

Joe sent me the song lyrics for 12 of The Riley's songs. I didn't need to use all of them, but these are the song lyrics that I've chosen to put onto different parts of the costume:


Not Like you - Collar

You can smile in defence against the worst things
You say love is all that counts it's written in your skin
You can see the light when the sun goes down
But you're not around.

You hold things together when they crumble away
You can talk all night when you've got nothing to say
You can see the light when the sun goes down
But you're not around.

But I'm not like you
I can't pretend we're gonna pull through
And I'm not like you
Well haven't you noticed it's true?

You will try your best to cover my mistakes
You will realise too late to hit the brakes
You will only ever want a smile on my face
But it's not made that way.

And I'm not like you
I can't pretend we're gonna pull through
And I'm not like you
Well haven't you noticed it's true?
And not like you
I can't pretend we're gonna pull through
And I'm nothing like you
Well haven't you noticed it's true?

No no no no no no....

You are the compromise
You opened up my eyes
You are the optimist
You take all the risks



Victory Cigary
and P.A.R.T.Y - Right Lapel

The night is young, wrecked by defeat
We don't go far, follow our feet
Out of the crowd, down to the river
I need your warmth, to stop this shiver

I sing oh my song

He's been here lots, for us its new
He likes us and we like him too
He shares the wine, the river too
I'll take this night, share it with you

I sing oh my song
We sing these songs we sing these songs we sing these songs
You sing oh your song
We sing these songs we sings these songs we sing these songs

The night is young, wrecked by defeat
I'll take this night, share it with you

I sing oh my song
We sing these songs we sing these songs we sing these songs
You sing oh your song
We sing these songs we sings these songs we sing these songs




P.A.R.T.Why why why why why do we need a reason?

Every time the beat drops
Her body's moving like a dance freak se wont stop
The dancefloor burns under moves that are too hot
The snare hits you like a gun shot
Like a gun shot

P.A.R.T.Why why why why why do we need a reason?

Flashing like a strobe light
Her eyes catch me and I can't fight
The rooms packed with odds stacked against me
With only the music to defend me
To defend me

P.A.R.T.Why why why why why do we need a reason?

Slipping down the shots quick
Feeling hedonistic, hedonistic x 4

P.A.R.T.Why why why why why do we need a reason



I Know What You Came For
- Left Lapel

Feel the blood sweat dripping wet love on the dance floor
And we're here for just one night
Get down to our sound there's alcohol on the ground
But in my glass there's more than enough
Look at the girl with the curls at the bar in the red dress
I wonder who she's with tonight
Your heart beats move your feet to the bang of the bass drum

Because we're here to rock your soul
We're to rock your soul
We're here to rock your soul.

She looks at me I can see that she's more than your average
Girl from off the street
She licks her lips moves her hips and I know she wont be leaving
With anyone else tonight
I wanna know whats her name is she game for some more fun

Because im here to rock her soul
Im here to rock her soul
Im here to rock her soul

I know what you came here for
Nobody could give you more
What are you thinking right now?
You came here to show me how
Came walking right through the door
To rock my soul x2

She wants to rock my, she wants to rock my, she wants to rock my
She wants to rock my soul



Turning Point
and Skin and Bones - Decorative Flap

Suck it up and hold it down
I lick the wounds that you have found
Outside a smile inside a frown
But im not proud but im not proud but im not proud
Im just not proud

So dont turn back now
We've only just found out
The world wont beat us down
Just look into my eyes
And I will tell you no lies
So dont turn back now
Theres no surprise theres no surprise theres no surprise theres no surprise

I think that you will never know
It only rains it never snows
I take the weight of us both
On my own on my own on my own
Just on my own

Under the gaze of the suns blaze I lie here
Stay in my arms you can come to no harm its safe here
So lay here, its safe here
Just lay here, its safe here

My skin is white like the moon at night
And you touch it I love it
And your hair it shines like the light in the sky
And I touch it, I love it

You uncover me, discover me
You fulfill me and thrill me

Do you wanna know how we got this close how we came this close?
You're iny skin and bones
Do you wanna know how we came this far how we got this far?
You're in my skin and bones

The mystery that surrounded me it was a smokescreen
You wiped it clean
The truth in your eyes was as cold as ice
I coulddnt melt it, I felt it

You control me and console me
You amuse me and confuse me

Do you wanna know how we got this close how we came this close?
You're iny skin and bones
Do you wanna know how we came this far how we got this far?
You're in my skin and bones


Jimmy is a Lunatic
and Tragic - Cuffs

I think he's sick, I think he's sick, I think he's sick
Jimmy is a lunatic

Jimmy, he's smoked too much shit
He's locked away in his pit
Writing down what he thinks

Jimmy, his mind is out of shape
He's never really awake
His body starts to shake

I think he's sick, I think he's sick, I think he's sick
Jimmy is a lunatic

Jimmy, he's running out of ink
Barely manages to blink
Think we should call the shrink

Jimmy, he's locked away on his own
He doesn't feel the cold
Think we should send him home

I think he's sick, I think he's sick, I think he's sick
Jimmy is a lunatic

Just take the pills, just take the pills, just take the pills




Tragedy, his slight of hand made the girl believe
When expectations are not achieved
He took a breath but he still can't breathe

Drama queen, she shagged her way to the top of the league
Her mother told her not to be deceived
She left the men down on their knees

Whoa oh oh oh
And yeah they'll do it again
Whoa oh oh oh
They don't need any friends
Whoa oh oh oh
And yeah they'll do it again
Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh oh
And they deserve each other

So hats off to you
She had an It Girl attitude
Her dress came off quicker than her shoes
You'll never see the girl cry
And thats why

Whoa oh oh oh
And yeah they'll do it again
Whoa oh oh oh
They don't need any friends
Whoa oh oh oh
And yeah they'll do it again
Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh oh
And they deserve each other

She was undecided about her life
He was finding husbands and stealing their wives
The drugs and the alcohol was pain relief
With all of their feelings buried underneath
She saw right through him just as soon they met
But he showed her a time she could never forget
He might wanna change her and there's those who've tried
But soon he'll realise it's just a waste of time.

Whoa oh oh oh
And yeah they'll do it again
Whoa oh oh oh
They don't need any friends
Whoa oh oh oh
And yeah they'll do it again
Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh oh
And they deserve each other
