''From Now On We Are Enemies'' - Fall Out Boy




Lyrics:

I just want to be better than your
your head's only medicine
I just want to be better than your
your head's only medicine

A downward spiral just a pirouette
G-g-getting worse til there's n-n-nothing left
What good comes of something when I'm
just the ghost of nothing, nothing?

Chorus:

'I'm just the man on the balcony singing':
"Nobody will ever remember me,"
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees

(for a)
Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They're dancing til
Til they can't stand it
A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed

'Singing':
"I only want what I can't have"
"I only want what I can't have''


Heralded as a king before I had a birthday
with double digits
Fit the crown to my head but I was only a kid
yeah I was only a kid
yeah I was only a kid

Chorus:

'Hey!'
'I'm just the man on the balcony singing':
"Nobody will ever remember me,"
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees

Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They're dancing til
Til they can't stand it
A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed

'Singing':
"I only want what I can't have"
"I only want what I can't have"
"I only want what I can't have"
"I only want what I can't I can't have"

'...to be better than your, your head's only medicine'
'I just want to be better than your, your head's only medicine'

'I'm just the man on the balcony singing':
"Nobody will ever remember me,"
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees

'I'm just the man on the balcony singing':
"Nobody will ever remember me,"
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees

Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They're dancing til
Til they can't stand it
A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed

'Singing'
"I only want what I can't have"
"I only want what I can't have"
"I only want what I can't have"
"I only want what I can't, I can't have"

New 2010 Albums

As we try to come to a consensus on how to pronounce this year -- “Twenty-ten?” “Two thousand and ten?” -- here’s a fast preview of some of the music we’ll see in the coming months.

January-February: Hipster bloggers are most interested in Vampire Weekend’s second album, Contra (Tuesday). Meanwhile, Finnish melodic metal band HIM is hoping that their new album Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice (Feb 9) will be their North American breakthrough.

March: I’m most interested in Broken Bells, a collaboration between Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, Beck, Gorillaz) and James Mercer of the Shins (March 9). Canada’s supergroup featuring ex members of OLP, I Mother Earth and the Tea Party had a top ten single in “Awake” before (a) they had a record deal; and (b) before they had an album. I’ve heard a chunk of this stuff and it’s very good. A debut album will be out March 10. My Chemical Romance will have a as-yet-untitled album in stores March 30. Watch for a single in the coming weeks.

April: The Deftones have two albums in the pipeline, one of which is called Eros, but it’s been shelved since a car accident sent bass player Chi Cheng into a coma. A new Chi-less CD — no title yet — is on the schedule for April 26.

May: Broken Social Scene has promised to release a new CD.

The rest: Now that Adam Yauch’s cancer is under control, the Beastie Boys will finally get around to releasing Hot Sauce Committee Part II in the coming months ... I’m convinced there will be a new U2 studio album before the next leg of the U2:360 tour kicks off in the spring. Rumours are it’ll be called Songs of Ascent, but there’s no indication on what approach they’ve taken ... Gaslight Anthem will follow up the excellent The ‘59 Sound with a new record in June ... There should be a second album from Jack White and the Dead Weather this summer ... Linkin Park is readying their fourth album for release this fall ... MGMT’s second album will be called Congratulations and should be out in the third quarter ... Finger 11 is working on their sixth album for release before the end of the year ... A new STP record? Believe it ... The Strokes? Apparently, but we don’t know when.

Also coming in 2010: Godsmack, Gorillaz, Jimmy Eat World, Kid Rock and Seether.

My Chemical Romance to tour new album at 'small punk venues'?

My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way has hinted the band will tour "punk clubs" for their new album, the recording of which is nearing completion.

In an interview you can read in full in this week's issue of NME (out now nationwide) Way tells all about the follow up to 2006 album 'The Black Parade'. As well as talking about new songs like 'Black Dragon Fighting Society' and 'Light Behind Your Eyes', he admits that he likes the idea of playing smaller venues – partly because the band's new songs are suited to them, and partly due of the current economic climate.

"The record we’ve made reflects the size of the venues we're going to play them in," Way explained. "We can play these songs in stadiums; we can play them in arenas. But we can also play them in punk clubs, and maybe that's all people are gonna be able to go to next time around, who knows?"

Speaking about the new record, which is currently untitled, Way suggested that fans could expect the music to be less theatrical than on previous albums.

"People just wanna fucking rock," he explained. He then added: "I don't know that people want to make statements right now. I can't comment on anybody else's record but I certainly feel something in the air, like, people just want the truth and they don't need a big story."

Elsewhere in the interview, Way says that another album track, 'Bullet Proof Heart' – which is likely to be the band's comeback single – references The Killers' 'Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine'.

The return of My Chemical Romance

More than three years since they released their last studio album, 'The Black Parade', My Chemical Romance return in the spring with their currently untitled fourth album. This week's NME magazine to read the story of the album from frontman Gerard Way himself.

The Grammy-nominated rockers claim the new album presents My Chemical Romance as “the purest, most distilled version of itself”. Guitarist Ray Toro says, “I can say, hands down, this is our best record yet. It’s all of the best characteristics of the band finally on one record.”

Written and recorded in LA, the group say the new album was influenced by a number of bands including the Sex Pistols, MC5 and The Stooges. “It was a good test to play around with where we might potentially go,” recalls Gerard Way.

Track titles on the new record include 'Death Before Disco', 'Save Yourself', and 'The Only Hope For Me Is You'.

Singer Gerard Way says MCR's new release will be a back-to-basics rock album, after the theatrical grandstanding of 'The Black Parade'. “It will definitely be stripped down,” he explains. “I think the band misses being a rock band.”

Elaborating on this new-found drive for simplicity, Way said: “It's not going to be hiding behind a veil of fiction or uniforms and make-up anymore.”

The band’s fourth album is a rejoinder to critics who portray the band as dark or downbeat. New track, ‘Save Yourself’, contains the line: “This ain’t a room full of suicides”. Way explains, “This record’s about the truth and living and survival.”

The new album has been produced by Brendan O’Brien, whose previous clientele include AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine, Bruce Springsteen, and Pearl Jam.

The band’s fourth release is not a concept album, but is built around certain themes. “To make a truly great album that doesn't have the crutch of a narrative, that was so hard,” Gerard explains.

The frontman continues: ”Everything is more direct. If ‘Black Parade’ was about the sweeping gesture, this is about the bold statement.”

Way became a father during the recording of the new album. “Lindsey [Ann Way, née Ballato, bassist with the band Mindless Self-Indulgence] and I had the baby, and then two weeks after that I was in the studio,” he explains. “I would show up in a T-shirt covered in baby puke.”

One of the slower tracks on the album, ‘Light Behind Your Eyes’, was inspired by the birth of Way's daughter, Bandit Lee.

‘Bullet Poof Heart’ – originally named ‘Trans Am’ - is the likely first single from the new album. The track is a tribute to the band's hometown of New Jersey and features a character named Jenny, inspired in part by The Killers’ ‘Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine’.

Another key influence on the new album? Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi film, Blade Runner, which the band watched while making the record.

-------------

Since finishing promotional duties for their last album 'The Black Parade', My Chemical Romance have kept themselves busy. For example, they covered Bob Dylan’s ‘Desolation Row’ for the soundtrack of the 2009 blockbuster

The band are being strongly tipped to headline a major UK festival this summer. Could it be Reading and Leeds?

Another MCR fact: Gerard Way's wedding in 2007 was a low-key affair. He and his girlfriend tied the knot following the final date of Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution tour backstage, with a member of a live music agency - who was working on the tour - performing the ceremony.

Gerard Way and fellow artists Shaun Simon and Becky Cloonan are currently in the process of developing and creating a new comic-book series titled The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, which Way announced at Comic Con 2009.

GERARD WAY: 'I RECORDED NEW MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ALBUM COVERED IN BABY PUKE'




My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has described making their new album as harder than looking after a baby.

The singer's wife Lyn-Z had a baby in the midst of touring meaning Way had to juggle recording in the studio with changing nappies.

He told US magazine Spin: "The record was more challenging than the baby, and the baby was really challenging!

"I was pretty worn out. Liy-Z and I had the baby, and then two weeks after that I was in the studio.”

He added: “I didn't shave for weeks, looked horrible, and ended up getting all these dreadlocks in my hair.

“I was never showering. I would show up in a T-shirt covered in baby puke - you can pretty much picture the glamorous nature of that. And so we would work every day, and as soon as we were done I would rush right home and help Lyn-Z with the baby."

My Chemical Romance's as-yet-untitled fourth album is expected later this year.
