	OREGANO Stood behind the wind I contemplate my options And my options don’t look so good Above colours flying; behind sky’s dying And this used to be a lovely neighbourhood She said: I’ve been around the block so often that they have a rota for me Sure I get the recognition, but I get the infamy I’m a running joke and I don’t know where I’m running to She said: surely there’s a story for each line in my history But the meanings don’t mean so much Before I close my eyes and set those red rims on sobriety I just don’t give a – until it’s too late Take it from the top once more I missed it as it was going down Conscience and memory eloped; they’re still out of town I’m a running joke and the punch line’s running out of steam Oh Oh - Another Saturday night spent Drowning – In a sea of coloured lights, who’s Frowning – Only Little Miss Consequence Oh Oh – Another Saturday night Oregano – For a well seasoned lie Ooh – Little Miss Consequence And in the cracked glass he exhales and fogs my judgement Guess I’m a slow learner from mistakes And like pookie snails we’re weaving trails of mixed emotion Keeping our hearts pounding ‘til they break Oh Oh - Another Saturday night spent Drowning – In a sea of coloured lights, who’s Frowning – Only Little Miss Consequence Oh Oh – Another Saturday night Oregano – For a well seasoned lie Ooh – Little Miss Consequence NOBODY Sometimes you might take things out on yourself So in the middle of the night take me down off my shelf When you’re feeling alone And the world is unkind And you’re on your own I might just change your mind When nobody is there for you And nobody giving you love When each hateful word they say seems true And there’s no guidance from above And Nobody loves you That much is true But if you let me I can be Your beloved Nobody Sometimes you talk before Thinking of me But there aren’t boundaries of chalk At least that you can see When you have no pride And the world is unfair And you’re dead inside I will always be there When nobody is there for you And nobody giving you love When each hateful word they say seems true And there’s no guidance from above And Nobody loves you That much is true But if you let me I can be Your beloved Nobody SIXTEEN You're fine and content and things in between But you find you're ripped apart by a Bebo top sixteen And you're tore up from the floor up cos your love interests Aren't as interested as the name suggests Lalalalalalalalalala Lalalalalalalalalala - and you stop Because that's the song he likes to sing when he's not listening Lalalalalalala Block it out Lalalalalalalalala Push it down Lalalalalalalalalalalala I don't want to think about it You think your emotions are under control But that's just a turn of phrase not a viable goal They'll kick you when you're down and make you hurt You're jealous and you're angry and you don't know which is worse Lalalalalalala Block it out Lalalalalalalalala Push it down Lalalalalalalalalalalala I don't want to think about it And the magazines say: "That is all there is and that is all I want, that is all there is, that is all I want," But you're lying to yourself and you'll realise when you can't sleep, Sleeping's what your bed is for Lalalalalalala Block it out Lalalalalalalalala Push it down Lalalalalalalalalalalala I don't want to think about it And I'm done singing 'bout it

	No Punk Intended Interview Courtesy of SoundChicks	hace 316 días
	Interviewer: Shannon Other SoundChicks: Grace M, Emma C, Anna C. NPI: Katherine = Lead Vocals Claire = Keyboard/Guitar/Vocals Chris = Drums Jack = Bass Seán = Guitar Question one: How did ye come up with the name No Punk Intended? Katherine & Claire: Ehhmm… It was during Transition Year at some point. It took us like all of TY because we didn’t know what we wanted to call it. We came up with all these crazy names like Pretty in Punk… Katherine: Then one day we were going into Dunne’s Stores in Donegal and I was like No Punk Intended! Claire: I was like yeeeeeahhhh that’s okay, for now, until we come with something better! Both: And we never did! Question two: How did you get into music? Chris:I was bought bongo drums as a kid, and they were very nice, so I continued my quest in hitting things to produce a satisfactory thump. Katherine: My mother used to sit me on the floor so I could listen to The Archers’ theme tune… Nah, my dad made me listen to The Doors when I was a small child and I didn’t listen to music then for about six years. When I came back to it I really liked The Doors and got into music through Linkin Park. Then I moved here and joined (local youth group) APA and we did drum lessons and guitar lessons and I met these guys! Claire: I suppose I would have been crawling around a piano when I was about two – my mother’s a music teacher – so, that’s how! Seán: Unlike Claire, there is no history of musical talent in my family, I’m the only one! I saw a band play at my first really local gig – a band called Wargarden http://www.bebo.com/wargarden - when I was about thirteen and I thought ‘Hey, I can do that’. At the time I was all into Nirvana and all that and I pretty much said I wanna be Kurt Cobain! Jack: Right, my parents got me to take drums, then I did double bass and my friend Elliot got a guitar so I was like ‘Ah sure I’ll pick up a bass and we can start a band!’ (Jack and Chris’ other band are called Indium (www.bebo.com/indiumband) Question three: What are yer influences as a group? Katherine: Oh, collectively? We aren’t really influenced by one in particular. Chris: We all have individual influences. Katherine: Yeah, like they (the lads) bring grunge into the influences and we (herself and Claire) bring crazy kind of pop/rock indie stuff! Question four: How long does it take you to write a full song and are ye all involved in the process? Everyone: No!!! Chris: Yeah we won’t answer the other part of the question like! Katherine: What usually happens is… Claire: Katherine writes lyrics… Katherine: And I’m like Claire! Listen to this! Claire: And she’s like ‘lalala’. Katherine: And then Claire’s like ‘Well maybe we should do it THIS way…’ And then we do it that way and it sounds better. Then Christian is there, because Christian’s always there, so we jam with him. After that we’re like ‘Jack, can we go to your house?’ because Jack has a big house, and we can practice there. Then we invite Seán over… Seán: I just turn up and learn the song! Question five: What’s yer favourite song to play live? Chris: NOT Lovecats! Katherine & Seán: It was so much fun though!! Seán: My favourite to play is probably ‘Nobody’ because I get to go mad! Jack: I like ‘Boy Meets Girl…’ Seán: I have to sit on a STOOL for that. Chris: I have good craic with every song… Everyone: ‘Sixteen’. Yeah ‘Sixteen’... (someone hums the pian-y bit) We’re all happy with it. Interviewer: Really? I would’ve thought ye’d say ‘Oregano’. Everyone: Oregano! Katherine: Well that’s really new, we’d never played it electrically before that (our Blastbeat gig). Seán: We never even practiced it together! Jack: We never practiced it together, we did separately. Interviewer: Ye did very well considering! Chris: Thank you! Question six: If you could have written any song, what would it be? Chris: In the history of the world? Awh deadly! I’d say it’s a toss up between ‘The Alphabet’ and ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ because they’re the same tune. Jack: I’d say that’s between ‘This is the place’ or ‘Porcelain’ by Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Katherine: Probably ‘Limp’ by Fiona Apple. Or ‘Dance With My Father’ because that song, I swear, it’s hypnotic. You always cry, it doesn’t matter how many times you’ve heard it. And it’s like, it’s not even that great a song, so yeah…that one…! Claire: Ehhmm… anything by the Script. Jack: She doesn’t mean it, she’s on drugs! Interviewer: What’s wrong with the Script? Jack: Nothing, but it’s like saying ‘You know what song I wanna write? (Something by) Yin Yang Twins!’ Chris: Oh! You know what? I would have loved to have contributed to the lyrical genius of the Cha Cha Slide! Katherine: You can’t even DO the Cha Cha Slide! Cuz I was like ‘Hey Christian come do the Cha Cha Slide’ and you were like ‘I don’t know it.’! Claire: I go through like these phases with music, and this week it’s the Script! Jack: Ok, Seán, which song would you like to have written? Seán:That’s probably be a throw up between ‘Drive’ by Incubus – which is like my favourite song of all time – and ‘No Woman No Cry’ by Bob Marley. Question seven: What do ye generally write about in your songs? Seán: We don’t! *Points to Katherine and Claire* they do! Katherine:Anything… Anything that I’m like ‘Yeah! I should write about that!’. Like, I might have a thought about lyrics and think ‘They’re brilliant, I’ll write a song about that’ and then I might not be able to think of anything else at the time. Then like, several months later I think of another good lyric and think I have to out it in there too. Like, the line from ‘Sixteen’ – Your love interests aren’t as interested as the name suggests – was one I had for months in a really depressing and terrible, terrible song that I’d hidden away in a notebook somewhere and I just ripped it out of that and used it as a lyric for ‘Sixteen’! So basically, whatever influences us at the time! Question eight: What’s the best gig ye’ve ever played? Chris: of two! Jack: Ah no let them answer that cos they’ve played a good few gigs. Katherine: I think last week’s… Katherine & Claire: Yeah I think last week was the best. Interviewer: Now, if we weren’t in the room what would the answer be? Chris: No it was fun! Me and Chris played! Interviewer: That was Chris Squared by the way. Chris: Yeah!! Question nine: if you could collaborate with any artist, alive or dead, who would it be? Chris: Mad Season. Katherine: Death Cab for Cutie Jack: As an individual artist I’d say Tom Waits because I saw what he did with Les Claypool and Primus, but as a band… you know I’d still say Primus. Primus… or Primus yeah… I like Primus. Everyone: So is that Primus yeah? Or is it Primus…? Claire: This is gonna sound lame but I’d like to jam with… Everyone: The Script! Claire: No I do not want to jam with the Script! I’d like to jam with Alicia Keys… Everyone: Alicia Keys? That’s cool. Seán: Jeff Buckley… or Pearl Jam. Chris: You could be the one on ‘Ten’ (Pearl Jam album) who played fire extinguisher and pepper shaker… Jack: In that case I’d like to go with Slipknot and be the percussionist. The one who hits a keg with a baseball bat. Question ten: Favourite album and why? Jack: Antipop by Primus, because it has the maddest bass-lines and drum-lines, or Freaky Styley by RHCP. Chris: Desert Sessions Volumes 9 & 10. Katherine: ‘The Soft Parade’ – The Doors because it’s so crazy, it’s like waahhhh! Claire: That’s a hard one, but I quite like ‘Rated R’ by Queens of the Stone Age. Seán: This is gonna sound repetitive, but Jeff- Buckley – ‘Grace’. I love it to bits, It’s my favourite album of all time, I listen to it straight through. Either that or – I know they’re kinda newish – but something like Kings of Leon. ‘Aha Shake Heartbreak’ is a brilliant album. Question eleven: If ye won the Lottery, what would you spend your fortune on? Jack:I’d probably waste it all; it’d be gone straight away! Chris: Buy a studio and so many drums I wouldn’t be able to hit them all! Katherine:I would probably spend it all on publishing things that would never get published otherwise. I’d be like yeah, I’ve a crap book that I wrote when I was like, eleven, it’s only three pages long , no-one else would publish it! Probably go out clubbing... oh! And get a Chinese!! Chris: Oh yeah, all the money in the world and I’d get a deadly Chinese! Katherine: I’d probably spend it like repaying my student loans! Interviewer: Claire? Claire: Probably buy a club. And buy like loads of animals and have an animal sanctuary. Seán:I would have myself chryogenically frozen! Someone: or get yourself mummified! Seán:...Mummified?! I’d probably just buy a massive studio and millions upon millions of guitars. Then get like a deadly house and call up MTV to tell them to put me on Cribs! Katherine: Me and Chris would like to change ours. We’d buy footage of Seán being mummified and having his brain scooped out through his nose, while he was awake. Seán: Collectively, if we got all the money in the world, we’d mummify me, video-tape it… Interviewer: Oh! I thought of a good question! Who is the most annoying member of the band? Seán: oh for god’s sake… Everyone else: Seán!

	No Punk Intended Demo	hace 849 días
	Hey there everyone!! We apologise for the lack of music, and just lack of, well, everything really, as regards our band page. But here is an update for all you hardcore fans, and of course we can't forget all of you who just forgot we were a band. For shame!! Nah, it's partly our fault. It's been a busy summer for all three of us. And we simply hadn't the time to practice. But I think that's just made us more determined to write many more rockin'tunes! No seriously, Kat and I (maybe even Jack!!) are in a great place creatively. So you can get excited...now. haha. Before I leave you to go about your daily bebo business,(unless you haven't even bothered to even read down this far! ) just for the record, we do actually play our instruments simuntaneously, in the same room (believe it or not). And frankly, we love how we sound, and we think that all of our lucky twelve fans would love our sound too. Therefore, *dun dun dun* we are recording a three track demo in the relatively near future. At the very very latest, it will be there to pleasure your ears in November. Although we hope to have it out there September/October. Let us know what you think, and you may just find a free demo in your hands. Enjoy Carb School, Claire (And all of N.P.I) xxx

Then on the 25th of December 2005 Jack was born (*wipes tear away*),oh wait :0 I mean, recieved a drumkit. eh eh...anyway, the summer after that we really started getting into it and we now have a few rockin' songs up our sleeve!yay! Now, while you wait in anticipation for us to upload our songs, feel free to do the folloing: 1. Watch 'War of the Buttons'/Justin Timberlake in the video for 'Promiscuous girl 2. Go around to your friends for an entire day saying 'Sorry Marie!'. They won't mind...trust me...

But here is one for your education and marvelosity! We have a few songs (that is why we are called a BAND but the popularest one is called... NO ONE'LL NOTICE ME! It is based on a funny, funny, funny music video . Actually more on a silly in-joke that nobody, even those who have seen said video, get. But we do! Don't we Claire? Claire? CLAIRE? *slam* *car screech* tada (no one'll notice my little blog here!)
