All The Right Reasons by I Am Vexed

No Fear by I Am Vexed

We recently shot a video for our single ‘Make My Day’, here are are a few stills from the day:

[Verse]

First things first, I do what I like
I’m taking the world by storm, I’d rather take it by bike

It’s like I’m in Amsterdam all summer long
I’m not always right, I’m just never wrong

I need never ending money to go with my never ending wish list
I was briefly into solvent abuse, but that started and finished with prit-stick

The message on my cap simply says ‘no dumping’
All I ask in return is a little heavy petting and a bit of dry humping

-
[Chorus]
I won’t always be there to send you astray
Go ahead and surprise me, make my day
I won’t always be there so keep your feelings at bay
Go ahead and surprise me, make my day
-

[Verse]

I’m hanging harder than Saddam (did he make it?) err not quite
You might say I’m well hung, I was the dick-double on that film err Boogie Nights

You’ve dressed like you’re on your gap year for way too long
You’re not never right, you’re just always wrong

Drinking’s only cool if you’re underage
Driving’s only fun if you’re drunk and with road rage

I go to AA meetings for free food when everywhere else is shut
I’m Bruno, I’m not an alcoholic, I’m just here to Fuck shit up.

-
[Chorus]
I won’t always be there to send you astray
Go ahead and surprise me, make my day
I won’t always be there so keep your feelings at bay
Go ahead and surprise me, make my day
-

–
I don’t care if people think I’m stupid, if it means they listen when I say something that’s not
You try so hard to keep the peace, I want people to be shocked
–

[Chorus]
I won’t always be there to send you astray
Go ahead and surprise me, make my day
I won’t always be there so keep your feelings at bay
Go ahead and surprise me, make my day

[Verse]

I was told don’t get drunk, take morphine instead
It was all going well but now I can’t feel my head

People said don’t get drunk, stick to cod liver oil
All I got was a fishy after taste and my appetite was spoilt

I find your lack of faith disturbing, actually it’s a disgrace
I understand why you’re sceptical, you have more eyebrow than face

I went to Thailand and saw things I’d never want to see again
I’m not sure about beautiful women, the likelihood being they’re all men

-
[Chorus]
I want to be talked about for all the right reasons
I want girls to blush when they’ve seen that I’ve seen them
I don’t want to be talked about for getting things wrong
I want to get drunk and still finish this song
-

[Verse]

I’m not perfect, you should know I’m just talking, this is not rapping
Unlike you when I was born, the first words I heard weren’t ‘accidents happen’

I kept all my old toys, they remind me of my youth
You want me to be honest? But you can’t handle the truth

Liking a band like The Smiths should not be used as a fashion statement
Like Adele you should just give up, she just keeps chasing pavements

I’ve just topped perfection, you will never get above this
The likelihood being, you will love this

-
[Chorus]
I want to be talked about for all the right reasons
I want girls to blush when they’ve seen that I’ve seen them
I don’t want to be talked about for getting things wrong
I want to get drunk and still finish this song
-

I’m not working in a shop for the rest of my life
I learnt from James Bond that you only live twice
I don’t care if my drinks shaken or stirred, as long as there’s ice
I’ll make my first million before I’m 25, please call me Obie Trice

-
[Chorus]
I want to be talked about for all the right reasons
I want girls to blush when they’ve seen that I’ve seen them
I don’t want to be talked about for getting things wrong
I want to get drunk and still finish this song

My ‘no dumping’ SnapBack from Only NY.

“The message on my cap simply says ‘no dumping’
All I ask in return is a little heavy petting and a bit of dry humping”

The moment we reached Amsterdam by bike, cycled 60 miles in one day, no bid deal.

“First things first, I do what I like
I’m taking the world by storm, or should I say by bike?
Like I’m in amsterdam all summer long
I’m not always right, I’m just never wrong”

Amsterdam video on the way soon

We are releasing our first full length album this December. It’s called ‘Good Gear’.

The name is a reflection on the amount of drugs we’re having to sell in order to finance it. That is a lie, it’s called ‘Good Gear’ because that is exactly what it’s going to be. The album will be a mix of old and new songs and will be available on iTunes, as well as on CD. The CD will be available online and at our shows.

We’re going to Amsterdam next week, mainly to fuck shit up, but also to shoot a new video, so look out for bicycles, prostitutes, canals and prostitutes in the coming weeks.

We’ll be using this blog more frequently starting today, to show our progress in finishing the album and also with new lyrics, photos and other things we like.

“The name of our album could only ever be good gear
if you’re wondering how I do it, it’s simple, I have no fear.”
