Ocean Demon 04:20
I can reveal it, I can show The days of old, we were young, things were never slow We partied through the night, drinking beers, smoke weed It was a life, no regrets, we were living free Life was a hoot, I could live rent free End on a knife like it used to be We took a dive with the ocean demons We took a ride, life was oh so beaming Living on the edge like an open book Ate everything, all the things we took Oh, to be free, oh no no no See now moving & a groovin’ is how I live I’ma taking everything, that’s a way to live Living in a world of fantasy I make mistakes that’s the way we grow Nobody’s perfect, you can’t fool a fool Stand in the shoes of a man that’s doing Run to the sun like a runner moves We got to move with the blows, let’s do it I’m like a flag on a pole, can’t move it Oh when I hear all the voices sing Just like the wings of a bird that brings All that I do, is do it for you And now I’m rocking and I’m rolling, and I can’t deny I was that man, many woman, yes I was that guy Dancing and a singing ‘til the sun woke up I could dance, making love, doing all above Stand in the shoes of a man that’s doing Run to the sun like a runner’s moving We got to move with the blows, let’s do it I’m like a flag on a pole, can’t move Oh, when I hear all the voices sing Just like the wings of a bird that brings It made us re-realise we’re leaving We never take, we was always giving Now that I know that I live my life Giving a shit for the ones who strive I got a pad, pen, paper, reading My past life I hit the ceiling Let me remind you for how I live Lived a good life that I want to give Give it to you, oh I know Drums on the bass, dancing place Smoking all day ‘til my eyes go red Give it up, give it up, hell no way You won’t change the way I play Everyday’s high when I want to say Losing my high, losing my way Can you feel it? No irie Mr Police, Mr Correct

I don't know how she lives the life she brings Crazy living on a string No one can take her down Making trouble in her town No one answers with her loving relations That's the price for her freedom She's taking all the drugs she's free Living on the ecstasy Oh no, she'll set your heart on fire Oh no, she's gonna play you like a choir ‘Cause every man would want what every man can’t have You have to break these chains, to make another day If everything we do was left up all to you We’d never change our ways, to make the same mistake He's watching everything, he sees His time, his opportunity No one can take her hand "I love you" she tells every man Well she'll keep you just to hide all your worries Sleep with you and take all your money Don't go with her, just have a look Your heart and everything she took Oh no, she'll set your heart on fire Oh no, she's gonna play you like a choir ‘Cause every man would want what every man can’t have You have to break these chains, to make another day If everything we do was left up all to you We’d never change our ways, to make the same mistake ‘Cause every man would want what every man can’t have You have to break these chains, to make another day If everything we do was left up all to you We’d never change our ways, to make the same mistake Oh no, she'll set your heart on fire (yeah yeah) Oh no, she's gonna play you like a choir (yeah yeah) Oh no, she'll set your heart on fire (yeah) Oh no, she's gonna play you like a choir (yeah)

Take It Away 03:34
You got me running round, running round Running out my head Living in your mystery There’s something there to say And now I can take hold of the future No one else will pay You’re always when I need ya there To hear what I say Take it away, somewhere to go Lead me astray where nobody knows Hey! You hear me yelling out, running out Running out of ideas Come and tell me what you mean to me Make it loud and clear Now I wanna know, I gotta know Tell me I can’t hear, yeah Come and tell me what you mean to me Make it loud and clear Take it away, somewhere to go Lead me astray where nobody knows Take it away, somewhere to go Lead me astray where nobody knows You gotta pick up pick up just to hear me sing Pick up on the phone when the phone bell rings Tell me on the phone I can makes some plans Run into your home, something I will bring No one else, baby, we must do Break into your home, taking off my shoes Holding me close, feel the warm embrace Look me in the eyes, I can see your face Take it away, somewhere to go Lead me astray where nobody knows Take it away (I know) Somewhere to go (I know) Lead me astray where nobody knows Take it away (I know, I know) Lead me astray

about

L.A.B return with their new album, L.A.B VI, the latest addition to their expanding catalogue. After recording & releasing their first five albums in a five year span, L.A.B VI arrives after an almost two year-long period of writing, recording, tweaking & finessing what is their strongest album to date.

Recorded with frequent collaborator Lee Prebble at Wellington's Surgery Studios, the album has been recorded amongst a heavy touring schedule featuring sold-out shows across NZ, Australia, the United States, the UK & Europe.

Whittled down from nearly 30 total tracks, the 11 songs featured on L.A.B VI are a welcome addition to an already beloved catalogue. Incorporating all aspects of the bands unique sound, the album combines reggae/roots & soul with funk & elements of rock. Featuring the singles 'Take It Away', 'Casanova' & 'Oh No (Pt. 2)'.
