Razorlightis a British/Swedish band formed in the summer of 2002 around singer/writer Johnny Borrell. Razorlight is a four-piece consisting of Borrell (vocals & guitar), Björn Ågren (guitar), Carl Dalemo (bass) and Andy Burrows (drums) Their sound is similar to The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, and Kings of Leon, but perhaps with some slight post-punk tones à la The Hives. Their debut album, Up All Night, was released on June 28, 2004, reaching number 3 in the UK album charts on 4 July. The critical reception was generally good, receiving good reviews from NME, Q magazine and Billboard, although they were also accused of lack of imagination and unoriginality for allegedly borrowing ideas from other influential bands, notably The Strokes. They appear to polarize opinion.

Rock 'n' Roll Lies Lyrics

Razorlight

There's too much silence in her night
She calls herself an angel, and she comes to town
I said L-O-N-D-O-N
Just so she can fall
There's something about the way she walks, you know
It suits the city streets so well and yet
No one's heard her band yet, and no one ever will

Oh yeah, here it comes baby, and there's nothing to say
Here it comes now, you don't care anyway
He sees your eyes, you're just the rock'n'roll eyes
Oh but it's just lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies

You've seen the man, he calls out for a drink, and you're all
You're all tied up in your backstage lines
And you, you just can't move a muscle

Six in the morning and you rise and you fall, you got to
You got to grab what you can
Here comes your man, baby, he's a winner, yeah
what a gunslinger

Oh yeah, here it comes baby, and there's nothing to say
Here it comes now, you don't care anyway
He sees your eyes, you're just the rock'n'roll eyes
Oh but it's just lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies

Oh baby, when you say my name I get, such a thrill inside
She says there's something in the way that I look at her
Yeah, I guess it's right here in my eyes
I can't lie

And here it comes now, there's nothing to say
Here it comes now, you don't care anyway
You see those eyes, they're just a rock'n'roll eyes
Oh just like mine, babe, they're just a rock'n'roll eyes
Oh it's just the lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
Oh it's just the lies, man, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
Oh...
