It Pays to Belong is from The Embassy’s second album, Tacking (2005).
Critic Laura Snapes recommended this songs' “sunny xylophone ting and winsome violins” when “walk[ing] the cobbled streets of Haga”, in Gothenburg, Sweden, the bands home town.
Stand tall, acting small
You've seen it all, I got your calls
There's no use in sorting out, no
There's no use, there ain't no doubt
Good times on the rise [x3]
Could it be, they got all that you long for
A place to lay in awe
Could it be that you're just like me
In my thoughts you're so much more
Good times on the rise [x2]
Now it's all in your hands
No, no you won't go wrong, no
Oh no, it pays to belong
