Free stubby holder included with every pre-sale album order.
The lass and lads of BA are fond of a cold one, and you too can keep your beer as cool as them with a Now Or Never stubby holder. Made from high quality neoprene, with album artwork by Ben Clark.
Originally called Rue-des-Douves (street of the doves) because that was the title of the voice memo Harv sent to me which tagged his location in a village in France when we started writing this song.
Some people try to reinvent themselves constantly, moving from place to place to start again after blowing up whatever life or relationships they had before, leaving a trail of destruction behind them... As tempting as that is NOw Or Never is about how no matter where you are, you'll always wake up with the same struggles and the same opportunities to make the best of whatever life throws at you. In the end, it's all the same.
lyrics
Everybody wants to
Be your long-lost pal
Everybody wants to know your name
And everybody thinks you're a shooting star
But everything you touch goes down in flames
And nobody knows who you are
But you’re the only one who knows where you’ve been
Don’t keep looking back...
It won’t ever be the same again
Get what you want, it won’t ever feel the same...
Never
Oh, the sirens scream under the overpass
This city is crying out for you
Somebody stumbles on the cobblestones
Of the street that wind around you like a noose
And some people think, it’s all just a game to play
But them that’s got to win have
Got to lose
Don’t keep looking back...
It won’t ever be the same again
Get what you want, it won’t ever feel the same...
Blind your eyes so this king falls again.
Kill your love. We won’t ever know your name.
Never, oh no
It’s Now or Never
