Hectic is the 14th track on Common Dreads.
It takes a break from the activist theme of the rest of the album and focuses more on the personal childhood memories of the band.
In their track by track for Common Dreads the band describe “Hectic” as being about
days which were perceived as perfect...
[Verse 1: Rou Reynolds]
To the multi story car park with our friends
Drinking from a bottle of White Lightning
On top of Marks and Sparks, roof running
Smoking chronic, hectic
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
And it seems that nothing now will ever change
And it seems that we’re on on on our own again
And it seems that nothing now will ever change
And it seems that we’re on on on our own again
And it seems that nothing now will ever change
And it seems that we’re on on on our own again
[Verse 2: Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]
We’ll convene at mine 3 PM to play
Sega Mega Drive, Golden Axe and Sonic all day
Never played it? I’ll teach you
Can’t hack it? I’ll beat ya
That’s Pendell making rhymes in the corner with a litre of finest Scrumpy Jack
Whilst Pdex pumps out the latest big club track
We’ll chip it to Justin’s and hit his King Kong
Then we’ll gather round the piano for a little sing song
[Bridge: Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]
Oh, if I could kidnap that feeling
The one that melts all fears from your mind
I’d make no demands, no ransom
’Cause I’d never set it free
’Cause I’d never set it free
Oh, if I could kidnap that feeling
The one that melts all fears from your mind
I’d make no demands, no ransom
’Cause I’d never set it free
’Cause I’d never set it free
’Cause I’d never set it free
Oh, these Halcyon days and Halcyon nights
Before we began to realise that things aren’t right
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
And it seems that nothing now will ever change
And it seems that we’re on on on our own again
And it seems that nothing now will ever change
And it seems that we’re on on on our own again
And it seems that nothing now will ever change
And it seems that we’re on on on our own again
[Outro: Rou Reynolds]
On on on our own again
On on on our own again
On on on our own again
On on on our own again
