Gran Turismo 03:26
Lyrics : Cut myself off from the underground A booster shot once in a while To keep alive what I’m feeling right now Wasted days are behind When I was losing my mind How could I feel so small when I think so big With this fire in me I dance on the sand while the city watches tides fall I’m wishing the waves like thoughts of you will come and go But still I want to get high Never forget the words you said 17 feels like yesterday I’m getting older but a little bit closer To what I’ve always been Kelly please stay with me Allow yourself to dream How could you feel so small when you think so big You are eternity She said she wants to let it go

Blade Runner 02:41
Lyrics : I’m on the run with a million on sight and a medium sign tells me: ”switch lanes” I keep following voices at night but I can’t decide if they are part of me I see you wanna be the one who leads the way I see you wanna be the star on judgment day Now I get to see wrong from right when I’m in front of a closing gate I’ll never leave you if there is something we’ll get through Just give me the razorblade There’s something wrong when it burns on both sides And I see the red light blinking it's too late If l love you until the end of time I guess it’s time to tell you I’m ok I swear you‘ll always be the sunshine in my head I swear you‘ll always be the fire that keeps me in I guess it's over, my four-leaf clover We'll get the things that we really wish for When we’ll work this out I miss your arms, again

1989 03:10
Lyrics : I see you’ve been wondering Will it burn faster with gasoline Give me a reason to stay Here all the walls are bleeding If there is a place like Hell or Heaven Tell me where you’d stay You make my heart beat faster Like a rollercoaster Anyway I keep the best I forgot the rest Baby there’s nothing left for us to test Flashing lights and speed of sound Make my mind vanished for a little while 80’s sounds new again Like in our old apartment I took the train at the wrong station I guess faith has a destination Everything else is happening inside of me I can deal with it

Love Spells 03:24
Lyrics : I will never sell my soul Take a minute to get everything in order Check the corners Like it’s never been done before Wake up in the morning Take a little walk around I won’t see you around I don’t feel bad I knew it was all or nothing You need to be lost to get found I can finally say that I’m Ok When I’m alone outside on a lonely summer breeze If I could I would cast a spell on you I’m talking to ghosts I hope for the better I got the feeling we’re in this together If I could I would cast a spell on you She’s the queen of sorrow with the prettiest smile What have we done since the day we were dreaming of oceans Now I can’t recall the name of your favorite song Lovers get cursed Poisoned and bleeding What used to burn is all gone with the wind But I don't feel down when I've got you on my mind My lonely girl, we've made this world It’s not the time to cry
5.
Seventeen 02:52
Lyrics : I used to get so high but now I’m pouring like the rain I keep my head up high and let the story come again But enough is enough from the top of my lungs Oh enough is enough from the tip of my tongue Forever we‘ll be falling in love like when we were 17 This whole life is a game and I love to play chess Stop being so reckless I love how you dress Everything happens in the blink of a second And I get the feeling that you don’t need your Balmain Forever we‘ll be falling in love like when we were 17
6.
Lyrics : My way is made out of the pavement I wish you would feel it too I’ll make the world a perfect romance Before my eyes turn blue I don't wait on you darling I‘m making our way out Cleaning the dust in your hallway soon we'll be safe and sound Can I say Carry me home I feel something wrong left in the gutter Sing me a song I can sing along You should be going in the inside world Find your peace in the inside world Face your fear in the inside world And Let it spin How long’s it gonna take me to get back on track I’ve built a cage and I lost the key I couldn’t get out Then I heard the river flowing in me the day I lost my head I love you more than ever darling but I don’t need your help Tell me something Like the old friend When we used to go out on the weekend
7.
Phone 01:37
Lyrics : Baby turn your phone off We will do the things like grown-ups I got to know you by now I kind of feel that you’re down I left my head on the highway But these streets are still screaming your name I get to know you by now I kind of feel that you’re down My baby queen I mean every word I hope you’ll figure it out Life's such an easy game to play And I know what you think about me I used to care about what the others see Now I left everything behind me Just to be free
8.
Runaway 03:52
Lyrics : Seven lives of trepidation I’m finally home tonight My heart’s a boat on summer waves A smile used to bring me down Now I know I’m getting stronger and I go for a little walk See you where the curtain falls You came to me with a definition of what you think is wrong It takes some glasses and motivation to stay up all night long All I know is you can have it all The past is gone and the future is in your mind Baby girl you’re wasting your time We used to run away I want you to feel better Safe and sound in my arms We’ll get along at the end of time Cut my head for a dime Sing a song for the last time
9.
TLNM 03:00
Lyrics : Sorry but I don’t miss you I can barely feel you Come a little closer to your feelings now I got a weight in my throat I need to tell you I hope Ten years from now we’re gonna laugh about All the reasons unknown And the stories untold That float around like ghosts in this town I get a little scared to love you now Feels like we‘re dancing like in „wild at heart“ I got a weight in my throat I need to tell you I hope Ten years from now we’re gonna laugh about it Just trust the process Everything is perfect Even the darkest corner of my mind There will be love Isolation’s getting on your mind
10.
Lyrics : We’ve been talking for ages But I don’t mind ‘Cause I lost at the first try I’m tired of faking faces that I don’t like Could it be the way it was We’ve been dancing around and I just wish you’d let me out Save your soul Break the fences Stop being someone you are not Time’s up Isolation‘s fading away There must be a way Stop to fill it with doubts Eyes wide shut and bones in pieces I feel like I’m hovering over the wreckage that I’ve built I’m tired I’m looking jaded I spend some time bleeding Where there’s no one listening I've been waiting for so long to be happy But I'm still here wondering Did I put a lock on that door
11.
Lyrics : Safe from the storm at least for now How can I sleep if the destination is still unclear I’d learn how to drive a submarine If it’s what it takes to touch you deep I’m over and out I follow the sound But still too scared to say the words come follow me I'll be on my own now Let everything come and go I’m looking at the bright light like the dead men do I’ve been tired of waiting for nothing I’ve been tired of waiting for something I’ve been tired of waiting for nothing Cause all the pain means nothing without you Now I don’t mind I feel alive You've been carrying all the pain in world And your back is hurting and your eyes are bleeding Something in your eyes will carry me home You’re the last train home
12.
Crush On You 02:34
Lyrics : I’m sobering up or maybe I’m not Heaven knows I see non-stop eyes wide shut Like flashes in the moment You cheered me up when I was locked up in my bones You show me how to disappear Where there’s nothing left to fear You bring me home I feel I've got a crush on you There’s a silhouette I see growing out in the sky I can’t wait for the morning when I’ll wake up with you by my side I know you tell me nothing but I would die just to know What’s on your mind

about

‘Perfect Timing’ by Capital Youth was recorded at the beginning of 2021 when everything was at a standstill. Sparing the band some time to work out the finest details of this 12 track record the band already considers to be a real culmination to their 5 years of activity.
The compositions are spacious and the cadence is slowed to allow space for melodies that are confidently Pop without losing the original punk energy the band is rooted in. Arrangements that are transparent and readable, snappy hooks and a crisp rhythm section make for a perfect ground for a lyrical universe that is contemporary and uniting. The acoustic guitar, the percussions and the synthetic elements build onto the band’s already strong base, allowing for a modern feel in an intimate wrap. Softened but not conditioned, the four members of Capital Youth went individually exploring their own version of punk and returned strong, mindful and loving. Hard pop or soft punk. This new record is an ode to old times, and a pledge to keep it dusted.
