The Datsuns are a hard rock band from Cambridge, New Zealand, formed in 2000. To date they have released four albums and several singles, most of which have charted in New Zealand and/or the United Kingdom. Their projected fifth album is currently in the production stage.
In 1995, while still at school, Rudolf de Borst (vocals, bass), Phil Somervell (guitar), and Matt Osment (drums) formed a band under the name Trinket. Christian Livingstone joined the band in 1997 as a second guitarist. They entered and won the 1999 89FM Battle of the Bands competition in Hamilton, New Zealand.
By 2000 the band had renamed themselves 'The Datsuns'. In August 2000 they released their first single, "Super Gyration!," on 7 inch vinyl only. In July 2002, after featuring several times on John Peel's programme on the UK's BBC Radio 1 and being hailed as "the future of rock" by the British music press, the band signed with the V2 record label. Their self-titled debut album made a strong impression in the UK, as well as in Australia and New Zealand. The Datsuns toured Australia in 2002 with Melbourne band The Specimens and The Casanovas as well as playing a live to air on PBS radio.
There's a girl running around my head
I know she makes me frown
She may be crazy, she maybe not be right
She makes me feel like
Like a motherfucker from hell
Around her finger
She makes me sigh
With a look
The girl
She made me cry
She may be crazy, may treat me bad
She makes me feel like
Like a motherfucker from hell
Like the man said it's just a shot away
It happens Lord everyday
And she says it feels good
Damn I make her feel alright
And it's a damn sight better than I got from you
Damn woman she makes me oh so blue
Like a motherfucker from hell
She got me down spinning out of control
That woman
The devils own
She maybe be crazy, she may not be right
She makes me feel like
Like a motherfucker from hell
Like the man said it's just a shot away
It happens Lord everyday
And she says it feels good
Damn I make her feel alright
And it's a damn sight better than I got from you
Damn woman she makes me oh so blue
Well it's NO USE TO talk it over
Talk it over again

I may sound ungrateful
But tonight you know I am
How come some great big things
You can let slip through your hands
Oh, oh, oh, W-O-E is me
I'm a simple boy, I just need a simple girl
To tell me how it really is in this absurd world
Oh, oh, oh, W-O-E is me
Oh, whoa, oh, woe is me
Whoa, oh, woe is me
Whoa, oh, woe is me
Whoa, oh, woe is me
Somebody tell it to me straight
I need to learn how to see
I may just sound ungrateful, but I just
I just have to be me
I need a little lesson
Really need to be taught
How I should be filled
So hope to brighten this world
Oh, oh, oh, W-O-E is me
Oh, whoa, oh, woe is me
Whoa, oh, woe is me
Whoa, oh, woe is me
Whoa, oh, woe is me
Somebody tell it to me straight

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
Now I've got to remind myself
That hardly is a crime
Oh, oh, oh, W-O-E is me
So, whoa, oh, woe is me
Whoa, oh, woe is me

Somebody tell it to me straight

Like a liar, like a thief
Like a worn-torn child who needs release
I'm feeling hazy force from the blow
I just can't find the words to let you know
I got no words
I got no words for you
I got no words
I got no words for you
Call the system that ain't right
I don't play to win 'cause I don't wanna fight
I'm reeling hazy, a force from the blow
I just can't find the words to let you go
I got no words
I got no words for you
I got no words
I got no words, it's true
Well I made you suffer, I let you fall alone
Was undecided, keep creeping oh for more
I made you suffer I let you fall alone
I was undecided, oh but I was wrong [Incomprehensible]
Well I made you suffer, I let you fall alone
Was undecided, keep creeping oh for more
I made you suffer I let you fall alone
I was undecided, oh but I was wrong [Incomprehensible]
I made you suffer, I made your skin crawl
I know a place where the old can die alone
I made you suffer I made your skin crawl
Oh oh oh oh no
I got no words
I got no words
I got no words
Well I got no words
This is the last time I'll see your smile
And it seems like Heaven so divine
Of course you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
No tin cans tied back of car
Is that the way the story ends completely?
Because I sure ain't happy girl
Just because we say bitter sweetly
We're gettin' outta time
We're outta money, now I count in dimes
I guess you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
And I know I'll make you look good
And force a smile
Smile
'Cause there's a new way out you see
No sweet reunion, no sweet relief
Of course you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
Once again you've ridden me numb
Once again you've blackened my thumb
I guess you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good then decide
And I know I'll make you look good
And force a smile
Smile
Hey!
I grind my teeth and bite my tongue
Look at what, we've become, its
Got me feeling so oh low
Got me feeling low
I'll make you look good
And force a smile
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile
Hey!
Won't you blacken my thumb?
Blacken my thumb
Blacken my thumb
Blacken my thumb
Blacken my thumb
All, All, All aboard row heavy water
To go home.
Welcome a dawn
Sun shining down.
But it's 3am
ICBM.
It's getting so much hotter
The mercury sings.
"Green bricks, dirty sounds
It's time to make for safer ground."
All, All, All aboard row heavy water
To go home.
All, All, All aboard row heavy water
To go home.
Clouds of white, they settle to dust
Flowers spreading seeds.
Oh and sick disease
If I could bury deep enough.
Straight and arrow through the core
It's time to leave for pearly shores.
All, All, All aboard row heavy water
To go home.
All, All, All aboard row heavy water
To go home.
It's time to make for safer ground, Oh.
It's time to make for safer ground, Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's time to make for safer ground, Oh.
It's time to make for safer ground, Oh, oh, oh, oh.
All, All, All aboard row heavy water
To go home.
All, All, All aboard row heavy water
To go home.
To go home.
They used to call it
Evil possesion
An exorcism to cleanse the soul
Silver bullets
Nasty cues
For the boy to regain control
Voices in my head
Oh how they curse me girl
Voices in my head
Oh no!
I may be the victim of popular fiction
My official position is you
Cursed me girl
Such a Pretty Curse
The moon is up
The mood isblack
Oh how it hit me like a heart attack
Poison prison
Such a bore
Feel the terror flowing out my pores
Hiss through lips
Sewn up tight
Cough it up through the black light
Hallucination Stations call
Whisper louder
We're sitting pretty
Have you heard?
I gotta tell you that's a little absurd
Some things are too fast for me to fight
I'll jump the cliff and hit the other side
Oh, these Hazy Days, on my mind
Oh, these Hazy Days, on my mind
We're sitting pretty
Hve you heard?
I thought I'd tell you that's a little absurd
The open lies
You gotta smile
When you dine with the man holding dollar signs
Oh, these Lady Days, on my mind
Oh, these Lady Days, on my mind
We're sitting pretty
In the world
And then I notice another girl
Some things are too fast for me to fight
I'll jump the cliff and hit the other side
Oh, these Dazy Days, on my mind
Hurry up and wait, stand in line
Well, I got better things to do with my time
Hold my hand just for tonight
For that? s the done thing for kids our age right
Well, that sure ain't cute so I'm gonna turn away
(My, my, my my baby)
Sure ain't cute so I'm gonna turn away
(My, my, my my baby)
Sure ain't cute, it sure ain't right
So out of touch, I keep out of sight
'Cause it can't and it won't and it can't
Stop the mechanism, start up the works
From the top of the stairs to the cellar it lurks
Hold my hand just for tonight
For that? s the done thing for kids our age right
Well, that sure ain't cute so I'm gonna turn away
(My, my, my my baby)
Sure ain't cute so I'm gonna turn away
(My, my, my my baby)
Sure ain't cute, it sure ain't right
So out of touch, I keep out of sight
'Cause it can't and it won't and it can't stop
Oh, no, no
Hey, liked your smile
You don? t know about fashion
But you know about style
Oh, it? s a sin, how you gave it up
How you let them win
I'm sorry I don? t mean to pry
I've sucked the conversation dry
'Cause it can't and it won't and it can't stop
Well, that sure ain't cute so I'm gonna turn away
(My, my, my my baby)
Sure ain't cute so I'm gonna turn away
(My, my, my my baby)
That sure ain't cute so I'm gonna turn away
(My, my, my my baby)
Sure ain't cute so I'm gonna turn away

new The Datsuns - Yeah Yeah Just Another Mistake lyrics
However, if you're faster you can help us by submitting
You got your war on science and your dusty roads
Reverse logic tricks and shadows
Morbid fascination with other people's souls
Like watching cars crash, your false bravado
You try to rewrite history
Add a littlemystery
You're still waiting for your time to come
You're still waiting for your time to come
Pick up pieces of velvet till you feel so sated
Beats and treats on the concrete streets
Well I guess I've been baited oh so
You're still waiting here
But I won't come around my dear
You're still waiting
Oh the moment's gone
Yeah, it's gone
You try, try to rewrite history
And add your own little mystery
You try, try to bring it down on me
And add your own little mystery
See that girl, she got a pretty face and all
Sometimes the call of the wild
Can make you feel like a criminal
I don't know that I shouldn't pretend
Cause the truth hurts honey, oh it offends
I just don't know nothing, that's an absolute
What I've Lost, I just can't get back
To the place, that we shared
Hope you understand girl
What I've lost, I just can't get back
To the place, that we shared
Hope you understand, my love
"Come on open your eyes,
Come on open your mind" she said
You know its fun to rewind and replay all the things we did
What once was lost just cannot be returned
What once was gone just cannot be returned so I say
What I've Lost, I just can't get back
To the place, that we shared
Hope you understand girl
What I've lost, I just can't get back
To the place, that we shared
Hope you understand, my love
Oh no, can't believe that it's over
You better believe that it's over
It's over with you
Oh no, can't believe that it's over
You better believe me
Cause its true, true, my love
What I've Lost, I just can't get back
To the place, that we shared
Hope you understand girl
What I've lost, I just can't get back
To the place, that we shared
What you want is a little piece of my love
Come on and get it
Come a little closer
A little closer
You won't regret it
Come on baby baby
Shake your tree tonight
Oh, it's what you wanna do
You know baby you want my love
I gotta give it to you
Hey, baby, now what she said
Freeze Sucker, you move and you're dead
Hey, baby, now what she said
Freeze Sucker, you move and you're dead
Lady Luck
Gimme your stuff
On that dance floor
Come a little colser
A little closer
Oh, you know
I want you more and more
Come on baby baby
Shake your tree tonight
Oh, it's whatyou wanna do
You know baby you want my love
I gotta igve it to you
Hey, baby, now what she said
Freeze Sucker, you move and you're dead
Hey, baby, now what she said
Freeze Sucker, you move and you're dead
You, You and me we take a ride
I'm past the point of no return
It's do or die you see
Oh, I'm through with mysteries
Of the beautiful symmetry
This is the place I don? t care to be
I tip my hat to this make believe
There's no doubt I can't control the pace
No doubt about it, so stamp your feet and
Get up, don? t fight it
Get up, don? t fight it
Hear the conversation, steamy adoration
For the phony eccentricity
The key to the mind is a cheap glass of wine
Take two in the morning and you'll be just fine
This is the place I don? t care to be
I tip my hat to this make believe
There's no doubt I can't control the pace
No doubt about it, so stamp your feet and
Get up, don? t fight it
Get up, don? t fight it
Get up and say the conversation, steamy adoration
Phony eccentricity
The key to the mind is a cheap glass of wine
Take two in the morning and you'll be just fine
Get up, don? t fight it
Get up, don? t fight it
And don't fight
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Now I know so consider yourself told
You fall for two women you'r living a joke
This will be my coming down
The final curtain, the final frown
'Cause that ain't love, no that's a lie
I know this baby I won't deny
The cold inside, the cold is good
And I know, I shouldn't go down
Cherry Lane, I walk down that street again
Cherry Lane, I walk down that street again
I know I won't give it up this time
I've been walking down a thin, thin line
Till they feel like, the one and the same
Cherry Lane
A boy is a boy, but a girl is a charm
That musn't be broken, that musn't be harmed
You must hold her gently, what else can you do?
And you know, you shouldn't go down
Cherry Lane, I walk down that street again
Cherry Lane, I walk down that street again
I know I won't give it up this time
I've been walking down a thin, thin line
Till they feel like, the one and the same
Cherry Lane
Who says what's right? You can't see
You ain't left free from being guilty
Crawling so close to the line
And maybe just one more time down
Cherry Lane, I walk down that street again
Cherry Lane, I walk down that street again
I know I won't give it up this time
I've been walking down a thin, thin line
Till they feel like, the one and the same, the same
Right down
Cherry Lane
Cherry Lane
Slick it back
Gimme some grease
You got it
I want it
So baby so sweet
Jett black hair
Leather on thigh
You make me flip baby
Whoa
Everytime
But you don't give a damn
You're just a fink for the man
You sure let me know
You don't give a damn
You're just a fink for the man
You make me flip
Get up and go
The midnight riders hanging round your neck
I wish it was me
Oh, we could be just the best
I seen your letters
They're written with spit
Your taking care of business
But baby
You flipped
I seen your letters
They're written with spit
And you're Fink for that man
You're buying us a big bag of trouble baby
It's time we got this whole thing straight
A message loud and clear.
Overheat in misbelief
I have to be sincere.
They wanna put you in a celluloid
You look much better as a cartoon...boy
You're a fool for the easy romance
Head over heels given half the chance but
Who are you stamping your foot for?
Can't you see your just dragging us down
Who are you stamping your foot for?
You better get in line cause we're running out of time
again.
With shaking hands you twist your fist
Your throat is screaming raw
So simmer down
Your scowl your frown
Who are you stamping your foot for?
Your hip quick scheme
Hit parade of dreams
You'll do anything to get your foot in the door
Who are you stamping your foot for?
They wanna put you in a celluloid
You look much better as a cartoon...boy
You're a fool for the easy romance
Head over heels given half the chance but
Who are you stamping your foot for?
Can't you see your just dragging us down
Who are you stamping your foot for?
You better get in line cause we're running out of time
again.
Who are you stamping your foot for?
Can't you see your just dragging us down
Who are you stamping your foot for?
You better get in line cause we're running out of time
again.
Who are you stamping your foot for?
Can't you see your just dragging us down
Who are you stamping your foot for?
You better get in line cause we're running out of time
again.
Who are you stamping your foot for?
Can't you see your just dragging us down
Who are you stamping your foot for?
You better get in line cause we're running out of time
Again.
Again.
Again.
Who are you stamping your foot for?
Who are you stamping your foot for?
? Hey there? she said? Looking good
What you doing tonight?
One look and I know I can't control
This feeling stirring inside
'Cause it's not love, it's something more
It will brake love, throw to the floor, yeah
Darling I'd love to feel that way
And stand right by your side
Oh, Lucille come to take me away
Cause tonight love ain't on my mind, alright
I shake my head, what I'm doing is wrong
Will this moment pass me by?
I know I'll regret it, just try and forget it
This feeling just wont subside
'Cause it's not love, it's something more
It will brake love, throw to the floor, yeah
Darling I'd love to feel that way
And stand right by your side
Oh, Lucille come to take me away
But tonight love ain't on my mind, alright
Darling I'd love to feel that way
And stand right by your side
Oh, Lucille come to take me away
'Cause tonight love ain't on my mind
And Lucille, with your golden hair
Why you plague me this way?
Oh Lord I was in love with a woman
But hey she led me astray, astray
Lucille
Lucille
Lucille
Step by step and inch to inch
She draws closer than I'd wish
A little touch, a spark and itch
Creeps into me, telling me this
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
Hong Kong, the Hong Kong
Her intentions, I would rather forget
It seems my fortunes have already been set
Anticipation of a deep regret
Got me soaking in a cold, cold sweat
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
Hong Kong, the Hong Kong
Oh, her love is like a feverish disease
Oh, she got me down upon my knees
Oh, she got me begging please
On my knees, oh yeah
Tiny cut, strawberry blood
Broken heart, my face in the mud
She hit me hard, hard, hard as can be
Oh but I want her, I want that disease
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
Hong Kong, the Hong Kong
Oh, her love is like a feverish disease
Oh, she got me down upon my knees
Oh, she got me begging please
On my knees, oh yeah
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fury
There's a girl running around my head
I know she makes me frown
She may be crazy, she maybe not be right
She makes me feel like
Like a motherfucker from hell
Around her finger
She makes me sigh
With a look
The girl
She made me cry
She may be crazy, may treat me bad
She makes me feel like
Like a motherfucker from hell
Like the man said it's just a shot away
It happens Lord everyday
And she says it feels good
Damn I make her feel alright
And it's a damn sight better than I got from you
Damn woman she makes me oh so blue
Like a motherfucker from hell
She got me down spinning out of control
That woman
The devils own
She maybe be crazy, she may not be right
She makes me feel like
Like a motherfucker from hell
Like the man said it's just a shot away
It happens Lord everyday
And she says it feels good
Damn I make her feel alright
And it's a damn sight better than I got from you
Damn woman she makes me oh so blue
Like a motherfucker from hell
If it's pure and it's simple
Does it make it right?

So keep coming on baby
Keep coming on strong
Maybe you can save me
But before too long
We'll be coming on baby
We'll be coming on strong
My dead eyes will open to light in this world
Before too long
If it's pure and it's simple
Does it make it right?

Life is hardly black and white

You got your war on science and your dusty roads
Reverse logic tricks and shadows.
Morbid fascination with the other people's souls
Like watching cars crash, your false bravado.
You try to rewrite history.
Add a little mystery.
You're still waiting for your time to come.
You're still waiting for your time to come.
Pick up pieces of velvet till you feel so sated.
Beats and treats on the concrete streets.
Well I guess I've been baited oh so.
You Try,
Try to rewrite history.
And add your own little mystery.
You're still waiting for your time to come.
You're still waiting for your time to come.
You're still waiting here.
But I won't come around my dear.
My Dear.
You're still waiting.
Oh the moment's gone.
Yeah, it's gone.
Yeah, it's gone.
Yeah, it's gone.
You try, try to rewrite history
And add your own little mystery
You try, try to bring it down on me
And add your own little mystery
You're still waiting for your time to come.
You're still waiting for your time to come.
Still waiting for your time to come.
You're still waiting for your time to come.
(Still waiting) Waiting for your time to come.
(Still waiting) Waiting for your time to come.
(Still waiting) Waiting for your time to come.

Take, take me to market
Come on take me down
To traditions and lifes hand me downs
It's a sin, sir, when you half realise
You gave in sir, become what you despise
So let's paint the town blood red, red tonight
We'll paint it red, it's a scarlet delight
Grind the meat, sir, time to taste the sublime
It is sweet, sirbut will turn to grime in time
Roll the dice, if you please
It's the reight of everyman
To compete, with sleaze
For someone to bear his brand so
Whatever happened you said
To all the things they promised you
Whatever happened you said
To all the things they should have done
Whatever happened you said
Whatever happened was beared
So I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now
Let's go
It's a sin, sir
When you half realise
You gave in sir
Become what you despise
Whatever happened to digital communication
All those empty promises,
They're still leaving me frustrated
Leaving me frustrated, why?
Come on, my lover, come on, my lover
There is so much we could ever discover
She said, "Boy, you can't find me, no, you can't find me
But, girl, you can find me, yes, you can find me here"
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I felt alone today
Hey, hey, hey, hey
There's nothing left nothing left to say
Just nothing, you can do nothing
Since you broke my heart in two
Oh, right on
Maybe discover a new way to love her
What's the girl hiding underneath those covers?
Singing, "Boy, you can't find me, no, you can't find me
But, girl, you can find me, yes, you can find me here"
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I felt alone today
Hey, hey, hey, hey
There's nothing left nothing left to say
Just nothing, you can do nothing
Since you broke my heart in two
Oh, right on
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I felt alone today
Hey, hey, hey, hey
There's nothing left nothing left to say
Just nothing, you can do nothing
Since you broke my heart in two
Oh, right on

Girl, you can't find me, I know you can't find me
Girl, you can't find me, I know you can't find me
Girl, you can't find me, I know you can't find me

Alright honey, it's alright
There's no disguise.
Now they're feeling so cold
Oh not feeling so bold
I'm gonna push the button flick the switch today

My girls best friend she told me
She said "All your love's in vain"
Said "That girls gonna leave you"
So I sing this love refrain
That girl she's gonna walk out that door
So you better treat her right
So I'm treating her right
I ran back home to tell her
That I still ached for her touch
A man don't wanna believe none
That he hurt this woman oh so much
The note sat there by the front door
It said 'I left tonight'
But I treated her right
I treated her right, I treated her right
I treated her right, I treated her right, yeah
Broke down on the doorstep
Tear come to my eye
Should've believed that woman
She could tell no lie, she could tell no lie
Knock on the door next evening
A shadow, a familiar outline
Yes she come up and smile at me
And I know I'm gonna feel fine
My futures looking bright and rosy
My girls best friend puts her hand in mine
Now I'm feeling alright
I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright
I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright
Now I'm feeling, now I'm feeling

See the blue sparks the final mode. Oh.
Countdown to explode
System overload.
Countdown to explode
System overload.
Atomic schemes in the bloodstreams they bankroll
Apologies to the dreams that have all been undersold.
