Devil City

Devil City

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence

(Na, na, na, na, Na, na, na, na, na, na, na x2) 

Where you gone to? Where you been?
Swallowed up by the city I’m in  
I got something else to do
I’m not leaving this place without you

I know about the time you hit rewind
but I never ever found the route outside
I know about the track that took you back
to another time, another time 
(P L A Y  B A C K)

Last night in the devil city...

Lost my vision, lost control
Lost the way that takes me back home, 

If there’s one thing, that I know 
there’s a place that will SLOW
Your soul, soul, soul, soul

Last night in the devil city...


I know about the time you hit rewind
but I never ever found the route outside
I know about the track that took you back
to another time, to another time (playback)

(Na, na, na, na, Na, na, na, na, na, na, na x2)

(Na, na, na, na, Na, na, na, na, na, na, na x2)

Devil, devil city, yeah
Devil, devil city, yeah 

All The Other Fools

All The Other Fools

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence


Baby life is for living, not for giving my time to you
Cos I I’ve got no patience for the changes you put me through 

I’d like to meet with all the other fools
before I spend all my time handing over my soul to you

Your reputation needs salvation, aint that the truth

 

All the others, all the other fools

All the others all the other fools

Oh I’d like to meet with all the other fools
before I spend all my time handing over my soul to you

Baby, baby, baby life is for living, not for giving my time to you
Cos I I got no patience, for the changes you put me through 

I’d like to meet with all the other fools
before I spend all my time handing over my soul, yes I spent time, yes I gave you it all, gave you it all…… to you

Keep It Coming

Keep It Coming

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence


I wanna be cut loose from the arms of the enemy

Sweet song of release 
I wanna feel no chill rising inside of me 


I wanna make footprints in the sands of forever

Plain for all to see
I wanna keep on running never giving up on me


I gotta do this all the time, repeating in my mind

Keep it coming, keep it coming in your own way
Keep it coming, keep it coming
 in your own way
Never give up, don’t you ever stop

Don’t you be another shining light that dies in the night 
Keep it coming, keep it coming in your own way

I wanna walk a tight rope over a neon metropolis, watch this city sway 
I wanna feel so high with nothing else in my way 

I wanna feel electric sparks shoot through my body, the power of this place 
A million different people making waves

I gotta feel this all the time, repeating in my mind

 

Keep it coming, keep it coming in your own way
Keep it coming, keep it coming
 in your own way
Never give up, don’t you ever stop

Don’t you be another shining light that dies in the night 
Keep it coming, keep it coming in your own way

 

I gotta feel this all the time, repeating in my mind

​

Keep it coming, keep it coming in your own way
Keep it coming, keep it coming
 in your own way
Never give up, don’t you ever stop

Don’t you be another shining light that dies in the night 
Keep it coming, keep it coming in your own way

​

In your own way, at your own pace, in your own way

Rollin' In

Rollin' In

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence

I wake up in the morning light 
Waiting for the man to call 
I’m turning in my alibi 
Why I’m  not showing up at all 

If nobody knows
Then nobody cares

 

When the bells ring and the birds sing, I won’t be rollin’ in

(I won't be rollin' in)
When the clock strikes and the sun shines, I won’t be rollin’ in 
(I won’t be rollin' in)

Believe me I have done time 
Holding back a soul that’s wild 
And when the door was open I...
I took an inch and ran a mile 

I'm out on my own 
A long way from home 

 

When the bells ring and the birds sing, I won’t be rollin’ in

(I won't be rollin' in)
When the clock strikes and the sun shines, I won’t be rollin’ in 
(I won’t be rollin' in)

​

When the bells ring and the birds sing, I won’t be rollin’ in

(I won't be rollin' in)
When the clock strikes and the sun shines, I won’t be rollin’ in 
(I won’t be rollin' in)

 

When the bells ring and the birds sing, I won’t be rollin’ in

(I won't be rollin' in)
When the clock strikes and the sun shines, I won’t be rollin’ in 
(I won’t be rollin' in)

​

I won't be rollin' in

Baby you Don't Mean Nothing

Baby You Don't Mean Nothing

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence

When the cold wind blows, carrying voices
Bittersweet company keeps telling me
If you stay today there’s no chance of leaving
But I know for sure, can’t take this no more. 

Come on baby, you don’t mean you don’t mean nothing
Come on baby, you don’t mean you don’t mean nothing…

When the white bird calls, songs of remissions
Sharing all he saw, baring it all
And I move so free, nothing will bind me 
& I know, I know, I know… my soul's at peace 

Come on baby, you don’t mean you don’t mean nothing
Come on baby, you don’t mean you don’t mean nothing… 

Come on baby, you don’t mean you don’t mean nothing
Come on baby, you don’t mean you don’t mean nothing…

When the lonely roads turn into nothing
And the old wounds they fade a little more each day
So I walk with hope that someone will listen
I’ve known it all along, righted all the wrongs, change is gonna come 

Your time is gone

Come on baby, you don’t mean you don’t mean nothing
Come on baby, you don’t mean you don’t mean nothing…

Cold wind blows souls

Cold wind blows souls

Cold wind blows souls

You Lie Awake

You Lie Awake

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence

 

I’m always sitting on a four-leaf clover 
I know the lines and I will say them over 
I hope that you are written into this scene
Just like me, just like me

Yeah, you gotta put a little life & soul

In love it’s safe 
Cos when you fall down into the arms of open ground 
Well you lie awake, you lie awake

I’m always wishing on a super nova 
I know the signs  I always see them over 
I hope for you to look as far as you see
Just like me, just like me

 

Yeah, you gotta put a little life & soul

In love it’s safe 
Cos when you fall down into the arms of open ground 
Well you lie awake, you lie awake


Never mind the fall right away / close your eyes/you're alive/open your eyes you're alive
 

Yeah, you gotta put a little life & soul

in love it’s safe 
Cos when you fall down into the arms of open ground 
Well you lie awake

Yeah, you gotta put a little life & soul

in love it’s safe 
Cos when you fall down into the arms of open ground 
Well you lie awake, you lie awake


You lie awake (far away, far away, far away)
You lie awake (far away, far away, far away)

 

I'm always sitting on a four-leaf clover

I know the lines and I will say them over
 

Let's Hope

(Let's Hope) Tomorrow is a Better Day

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence


Let's hope tomorrow is a better day
Let's hope tomorrow is a better day

Let's hope we all stay together
Let's hope to end the bad weather
Let's hope tomorrow is a better day 

Sing me sing me a song
Save me from the longest night I've known
And where the world is torn
We will be the ones who find a way
Tomorrow is a better day

Let's hope the thunderbolts stay away
Let's hope that nobody has to pay

Let's hope we all stay together
Let's hope to end the bad weather
Let's hope tomorrow is a better day

Sing me sing me a song
Save me from the longest night I've known
And where the world is torn
We will be the ones who find a way
Tomorrow is a better day

Let's hope tomorrow is a better day....

 

Sing me sing me a song

Save me from the longest night I've known

And where the world is torn

We will be the ones who find a way

Tomorrow is a better day

Tomorrow is a better day


Sing me sing me a song
Save me from the longest night I've known

The Lights

The Lights

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence

 

Could’ve been bitten by the cold 

The sun burned and left a new black hole 

Only sends me home 

 

The lights, the lights, the lights, the lights that lead us on,

They rush ahead and turn to red as they grow old,

The lights, the lights, the lights, the lights that lead us on and on

On and on

 

Could’ve stayed weighing down on earth

Instead I float around the universe

And I swim out alone

 

The lights, the lights, the lights, the lights that lead us on,

They rush ahead and turn to red as they grow old,

The lights, the lights, the lights, the lights that lead us on and on

On and on

 

I fell into a dream of mine, my old star sign still glows 

 

The lights, the lights, the lights, the lights that lead us on,

They rush ahead and turn to red as they grow old,

The lights, the lights, the lights, the lights that lead us on and on

On and on

​

And they say… 

On and on, on and on

Now We Get Away

Now We Get Away

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence

Shake my hand, welcome to the ride
Get up on board and take a look inside, 
When you get here there’s a warning sign
So move your mind to the other side 
People make sense for a little while

Now we get away
Now we get away
Before this gets too old
It’s time for me to say
Now we get away

​

Making my plans in the dead of the night,
People asleep &  driving out of sight
Nearly got lost in a shallow grave, 
Hot back my faith in another way
Gotta get out before the break of the day

Now we get away
Now we get away
Before this gets too old
It’s hard for me to stay
Now we get a...

​

I know where I wanna go
Who I wanna meet
Where I want to sleep 
I know who I wanna be 
What I wanna see
And that don’t you know me

C'mon let's go...

Now we get away
Now we get away
Before this gets too old
It’s time for me to say… x5
Now we get away

Over & Out

Over & Out

© Words and Music by Emma King & Ritch Spence

Over and out, I’m getting colder
I’m staring back snow on my shoulder
I can’t stay too long
No I can’t stay too long

What about the truth? What about the news? 
All about the journey I wasted on you
What about the times? What about the lies? 
All about the feelings that I couldn’t hide
What about the truth, what about the truth

What about the truth

​

Over and out fires are roaring
You put them out, now burning my story
Smoke signs rescued me
Oh smoke signs rescued me

What about the truth? What about the news? 
All about the journey I wasted on you, 
What about the times? What about the lies? 
All about the feelings that I couldn’t hide,
What about the truth, what about the truth

What about the truth

What about the news? 
What about the journey that I wasted on you
What about the times? What about the lies? 
All about the feelings that I couldn’t hide,
What about the truth, 
what about the truth

What about the truth…..
