From the recording Twice Around the World

“Brighten Up My Life” is what would happen if you put Marc Bolan of T-Rex into a room with The Black Keys and then the White Stripes joined the party. Maybe even Primal Scream stopped by for a drink. It’s what the boys have always been good at – inventing big guitar riffs such as ‘Brewing up a Storm’, ‘Romeo’s on Fire’ and ‘To the Bright & Shining Sun’. Big riffs that build towards an even bigger chorus. It’s a Saturday night song with no precious message……other than, it’s ok to have some fun every now and then!

Lyrics

Why do some people always complain?
They moan when it's hot, they moan when it rains
“Happiness depends upon yourself ”
As Aristotle would tell

I’m so disappointed in most of my friends
They’re talking about houses and gross dividends
What ever happened to shakin’ your ass
And a roll in the grass

BRIGHTEN UP MY LIFE
SET MY WORLD ALIGHT
BRIGHTEN UP MY LIFE

Drink to the future and swear on your heart
Kick off your high heels and join in the march
Up on your bike, you’re so debonair
How does your vanity fare?

BRIGHTEN UP MY LIFE
SET MY WORLD ALIGHT
BRIGHTEN UP MY LIFE

Up on your bike, you’re so debonair
How does your vanity fare?

BRIGHTEN UP MY LIFE
SET MY WORLD ALIGHT
LETS PAINT THIS TOWN TONIGHT
BRIGHTEN UP MY LIFE
