Ferry 'Cross the Mersey

Mersey- Opening song for most of their gigs. No matter where you are, fun can always be had. Water (the Mersey being a river) is a heavy analogy throughout this song.

Tower Block Blues- What the mainstream thinks is best doesn't always work! This song references tower blocks, which has a reputation for being cheaply made, lowcost housing, and also references Ronan Point- part of it collapsed in 1968 due to a gas explosion, resulting in fatalities. This song is probably inspired by Hack growing up in a tower block.

Desert Radio- Antiwar/violence message about all the stuff going down in the Middle East; features Middle Eastern influenced guitar parts, a heavy bassline, and a 'narrative from the people'.

Paint the Streets- Cops, get out of our way! We're going to do what we want to do, and make the streets our own. You say you're not good enough for them, but that's where we grew up and where we live, and we're making it ours.

How's That Working Out?- You were a bully in school, and now you're a fat slob eating donuts in a tiny flat, working a job you hate because no one likes you. I was the outcast, bullied, and now I'm in a band and surrounded by friends. How's that working out for you?

Call Us Punks- Call us punks, but we just want to have a good time. Sneaking out at night from home, skipping school, having fun- enjoy life while you can!

Weekday Shuffle- Working all day at the factory, to make some money to booze it up!

American Birds- Gettin' all the American birds! Differences in American girls and English girls; this is primarily Scooter's song.

Budweiser- A drinking song!

You'll Never Be Alone- The last track newly-added to the album, a mashup of You'll Never Walk Alone originally by Gerry and the Pacemakers (which is also where the name of the band comes from), and We're Coming Back by Cock Sparrer, both songs dealing with friendship. This was made after Pax came back from Liverpool, as the band is back together again. Gerry and the Pacemakers were from Liverpool, and Cock Sparrer is from London (where Hack and Scooter are from), so it's sort of a mashup of where they're from, too.

Full album coming on 8.29.15- the same day as the Gatorcon CreepFest concert. A few songs have been played at shows already, and Scooter confirmed that it's a concept album. The name 19/20 is short for 1900s/2000s, which implies that all of the issues and themes brought up in this album have kept on living throughout the years, despite the passing decades.

Lost from the 'pool- Was coming back from Liverpool for holiday- I got lost on the train. This song describes the different (and odd) people seen in daily life.

Poster Boy- You're a mainstream boy doing what society asks of you, the perfect poster boy for them, getting good marks and sucking up to all the teachers. We, though- we'd much rather be having fun and being free, doing what we want to do!

I Don't Wanna Be Old- If being old means losing sight of what's important in life, I don't want it!

Dragging- Every day it's the same- school, work, relationships. Can be such a drag! Thankfully, you have your mates to hang around with to pull you through.

Blackboard Learning- Learn the alphabet the way they teach you in school- then learn it our way, from the streets, experience, and real-life.

Governmental Preachings- Censorship can go to @%&!

Denial- Going down to the pub, hitting on a girl. Denied! She thinks she's too good for someone like you, but she's just denying the truth that you'll get along great.

Rumble- 'bout gettin' your 'ead kicked in! Streetfights, knifers...

Botany to the Bay- Running from the cops- hah, they got the geezers that were messing with us! Guess they can be useful, sometimes.

Wake Up Call- Waking up and not knowing where you are, in a skeevy motel- it's not so bad. And would I do it all again? You bet!

Rabbit and Pork (bonus track)- Lern yerself some Scouse, Cockney, and plain old British English! Americans might get a little confused by this song, as well as learn by it, as it's flooded with slang, and plays on words. Taken at face-value, it's a funny little story, but when one actually understands the slang, it makes a little more sense. The song itself is the Cockney term for 'talk', and 'conversations' during the song can easily be improved.

Lovesong- Even though we’re a bunch of up-to-no-good punks, we’ve still got a heart of gold, and we all need a little lovin’ sometimes.

Gobbledygook- Hack is normally the one to sing this song, which is comprised of potentially random words whose tone and inflections fit together perfectly. Either they’re lyrically steeped in metaphors and semi-hidden meanings, or he just sang the first things that came to his head; in either case, it slightly blurs the boundaries of auditory vs. lyrical music, and sounds damn good.

Riot- This song describes some of the horrible things you’ll do when you listen to music: starting riots, burning down prisons and government buildings, etc. Not really. The song’s sarcastic and over the top tone makes it fairly clear that the idea of ‘music making you do bad things’ is a load of crap.
