Danny Worsnop talked about this song in a track-by-track interview for Altpress:
I’ve never done a song about music before. Almost all great bands and artists have done one, where it’s been that kind of breaking-the-fourth-wall song. And [“When The Lights Come On”] is—it’s right before a show. It’s...
When the Lights Come On Lyrics
[Intro]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
There's a world past the curtains of eager excitement
A sea of impatience, awaitin' incitement
It's all so enticin', it's so mesmerizin'
It's so hypnotizin', the rhythmic beguilin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, bring the house down
Oh, oh, oh, breathe in, out
In, out, in, out
[Chorus]
When the lights come on, when the crowd goes wild
Rip the roof up off of here, take it to the stratosphere, to the stratosphere
Stand up and scream it loud when the fire flies
Rip the roof up off of here, take it to the stratosphere, to the stratosphere
[Verse 2]
After sitting and waiting and anticipating
The energy through the walls reverberating
It's so captivatin', the buzz generated
It's invigoratin', I feel elevated
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, bring the house down
Oh, oh, oh, breathe in, out
In, out, in, out
[Chorus]
When the lights come on, when the crowd goes wild
Rip the roof up off of here, take it to the stratosphere, to the stratosphere
Stand up and scream it loud when the fire flies
Rip the roof up off of here, take it to the stratosphere, to the stratosphere
[Bridge]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh
[Chorus]
When the lights come on, when the crowd goes wild
Rip the roof up off of here, take it to the stratosphere, to the stratosphere
Stand up an' scream it loud, when the fire flies
Rip the roof up off of here, take it to the stratosphere, to the stratosphere
[Outro]
To the stratosphere

Ben Bruce said:
When we write our albums we’ve always said, ‘If it can’t be done live or won’t translate well live, then we aren’t fucking doing it’. It could be the coolest thing in the world but if we can’t do it live then it won’t be on the album. We recently did our first full tour back with Da...
