[Verse 1]
And you're a liar
At least all of your friends are
And so am I
Just typically drowned in my car

It's my party
And I'll cry to the end
You must try harder
Than kissing all of my friends, you

[Chorus]
Yeah, it takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you

[Verse 2]
And you're alive
At least as far as I can tell you are
And so am I
You beat me down and then we're back to my car

And it's so ironic
How it's only been a year
And it's not my fault
That I fucked everybody here

[Chorus]
Yeah, it takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you

Yeah, it takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you

[Bridge]
And I say, do you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance in the bar at the back of the hall?
And I say, do you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance, dance in the back of the hall?

[Chorus]
Yeah, it takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you

It takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you
It takes a bit more
Yeah, it takes a bit more than you

More, more, more
(Yeah, it takes a bit more)
(Yeah, it takes a bit more)
It takes a bit more
(Yeah, it takes a bit more)
(Yeah, it takes a bit more)
It takes a bit more

The 1975

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.
