First Class Riot :: The Tough Alliance

Holy buckets batman! I've been so preoccupied this week, again I forgot to blog on Wednesday. I've been feeling a little loopy lately, so this song fits in well. The lyrics are vague, but could have a multiplicity of meanings. I'm currently enjoying thinking of it as an anthem to alternative lifestyles that are more emotionally fulfilling than the rat race of the business world.

The Tough Alliance (TTA) is an electro-pop duo from Sweden. This particular track is a little moody and yearning, with a really catchy chorus and excellent percussion. It definitely sounds more like british/european pop than american pop, partially because of the well used electronic embellishments.






There's a crowd, talking loud, but they ain't saying nothing
Slow and stale, weak and pale, while we're running and laughing
Cause there's something else, something bright and pure,
Something that you've never felt before
Something you can't touch, something you can't see, you just don't believe

AA-AAAA

Don't you die yet, first class riot
You can't buy it
First class riot

You don't know where to go, still you point our directions
Black and White, so uptight, while we run for perfection
Cause there's something else, something bright and pure,
Something that you've never felt before
Something you can't touch, something you can't see, you just don't believe

AA-AAAA

Don't you die yet, first class riot
You can't buy it
First class riot

AA-AAAA

Don't you die yet, first class riot
You can't buy it
First class riot
