about

"Oh you don’t belong here, oh no. Your love runs way too high"

« Narrow Minded Fools » is the second track to be taken from Tahiti 80’s Lipstick Stains EP which lands in October via Human Sounds. This new set of songs was produced by the band themselves and mixed by Julian Simmons (A Girl Called Eddy, The Magic Gang.) Singer’s Xavier Boyer says the song came to him after « reading depressing articles in the news and feeling a strong desire to escape or disappear».
With its anthemic chorus and intricate melodies 'Narrow Minded Fools' evokes an updated version of Baroque Pop’s champions, The Zombies' « Odessey and Oracle ».

lyrics

Have you noticed around you
How most people have no clue
They’ll keep you down they’ll lock you up
How can you ever get out of that box?
Narrow minded fools
But you’re done with their smiles
And their big fat phony lines
They’re everything you will never be
And they will find out eventually

Oh you don’t belong here, oh no
Your love runs way too high
No you don’t belong here anymore
And the world brings you down
You wanna show all the people you know
Who you really are now, who you really are now
There’s much more than what they’ve seen before
who you really are now, who you really are now

You smashed the door
You break away and you want more
You see them running across the room
Like frightened witches without a broom
Narrow minded …

Oh you don’t belong here, oh no
Your love runs way too high
No you don’t belong here anymore
Just see the smoke across the sky
You wanna show all the people you know
Who you really are now who you really are now
There’s much more than what they’ve seen before
Who you really are now, who you really are now

Oh you don’t belong here
Narrow minded fools
Oh You won’t be long here oh no
Your love runs way to high
Your love runs way to high
Your love runs way to high
Just see the smoke across the sky

You gonna show all the people you know
who you really are now who you really are now
You gonna show all the people you know
who you really are now who you really are now
There’s much more than what they’ve seen before
who you really are now, who you really are now
