I took the boat down to the blacksmith's at the breaks
Quite ridiculous (Quite ridiculous)
He said "The problem that we've got living round here's fighting all these scary monsters"
And there's one coming down
Top of the roofs
Get out the car
We're just running
Running away

It's in your house now
It's in your house now now
In your house now now

Well mister, you came straight bolting in looking scared
Quite ridiculous
Said "you never guess what just happened seven just got manipulus"

She said "you don't look frightened at all"
With one so near
You just kept on saying that it's all, it's all gonna get colder
It's gonna get colder now
Now you're here
You can make no sound
And they'll still sense you're near

They can't run as fast as I can
We'll be here soon
You'll be laughing, man

The 1975 consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (lead guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass), all of whom are from Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. The four band members, now based in Manchester, met in Secondary School and began playing together as teenagers.

The eclectic four-piece band have amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B, and 80’s gloss pop, as well as lead singer Matthew “Matty” Healy’s stories of lust, intoxication, and the unabashed grittiness of modern youth. Common themes in their lyrics range anywhere from dysfunctional relationships, to the failure of modernity.

Throughout 2012, The 1975 released multiple EPs, which sparked the start of their careers. The following year, 2013, their self-titled debut album took the world by storm. From 2014 until 2015 the band’s focus was on touring, though they did reveal through photos on social media that their next sound would reflect a departure from their previously black-and-white aesthetic.
