The first EP for their album was  released on June 22, 2010 and the full record &quot;Light Me Up&quot; was released August 27, 2010 in the UK and on February 8, 2011 in the USA.

Le groupe a été fondé en 2009 par l'actrice de Gossip Girl, Taylor Momsen. Le groupe étant tout récent, il ne possède pas de notoriété particulière en France, il a fait la première partie du groupe The Veronicas en mai 2009, elle y a chanté des chansons qu'elle avait écrites longtemps avant afin d'acquérir une expérience de la scène. Hormis Zombie (apparue dans le EP du groupe sorti le 22 juin), la majorité de ces chansons ne sont dévoilées qu'en tant que démos...

And here I am watching the clock that's ticking away my time

I'm too numb to feel right now

         Em              C
When the light hits your eyes
     G              D/F#
It's telling me I'm right
       Em      C
And if I, I am through

It's all because of you

Just tonight

Do you understand who I am

Do you wanna know

Can you really see through me now
             C
I am 'bout to go

           Em            C
But just tonight I won't leave

I'll lie and you'll believe

Just Tonight

[Verse 1]
A
Hey there, Father
A
I don't wanna bother you
A
But I've got a sin to confess
A
I'm just 16 if you know what I mean
A
Do you mind if I take off my dress?
B
Don't know where to start
B
Let me get to the good parts
B
Might wanna cross up your legs
A
I've got envy, I've got greed, anything that you need
A
And I'm not above having to beg


F               C    Em         Am
There was this boy who tore my heart in two
F         C      E                 A
I had to lay him eight feet underground


[Chorus]
A      G  D               F
All I need is someone to save me
      A     G     D     F
Cause I am goin' down
A           G  D               F
And what I need is someone to save me
      A     G      F              
Cause I am goin' down, all the way down


[Verse 2]
A
Well, hey there, Father#
A
There is just one other thing
A
I have a simple request
A
I hear you know God could you give him a nod in my direction
A
I would be in your debt
B
Perhaps there is something that we could work out
B
I noticed your breathing is starting to change
A
We could go in the back behind all these stacks of bibles
A
And get out of this cage


F               C    Em         Am
There was this boy who tore my heart in two
F         C      E                 A
I had to lay him eight feet underground


[Chorus]
A      G  D               F
All I need is someone to save me
      A     G     D     F
Cause I am goin' down
A           G  D               F
And what I need is someone to save me
      A     G      F              
Cause I am goin' down, all the way down


D  
I didn't wanna do it, Father
Bb                             A
But I caught him with another woman in the bed I made him
A
So I put him in a grave
     D
And now there's no one left around to get me off
                   A
When I want it to drag
D
The next day on the television they identified him
        A
By the circumsicion that I made and now I'm on the run
              C#m           Bb
But wait, why did I have to go and kill him
C#m                             
When he was the best I'd ever had


[Chorus]
A      G  D               F
All I need is someone to save me
      A     G     D     F
Cause I am goin' down
A           G  D               F
And what I need is someone to save me
      A     G      F              
Cause I am goin' down, all the way down

A
I'm goin' down
A
All the way down

Goin' Down

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah,

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E

A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot
