Step Right Up Ladies & Gentlemen!

Here's a link to a video of The Feeling's latest single Join with Us. I like the song as much for its melody, which touches on being Beatlesque circa Magical Mystery Tour, as I do for the optimistic call-to-action lyrics and the resulting music video with its nods to Surrealism (the apropos parting shot is also a bonus - you'll see).

If you can't be bothered to look at the video, well, at least peruse the lyrics, which I've pasted below. Perhaps after reading them, you'll decide you can be bothered to watch the video.

Enjoy!


Join with Us
Half Past Eight
And you're late
Coffee's cold
What a state
They've dragged you down
Fate's got you scraped
Work to death
Can't you turn them words around

Is it really what you want?
Is it really what you need?
Is it really what you choose?

My, dear...?

Is it really what you want?
Is it really what you need?
Is it really what you choose?

The world is in your hands
The world is in your hands
The world belongs to those of us who still believe we can
And it matters what you do
Though they all look down on you
'Cause it's better that you've come from nothing,
Than nothing comes from you

Come with us
Come with us
Join with us
Join with us

Don't make a sound
Count your pennies
Count your pounds
There's no way out
What will you do,
When all love gives up on you?
Can't turn around

Is it really what you want?
Is it really what you need?
Is it really what you choose?

Uh oh

The world is in your hands
The world is in your hands
The world belongs to those of us who still believe we can
And it matters what you do
Though they all look down on you
'Cause it's better that you've come from nothing,
Than nothing comes from you

Come with us
Come with us
Join with us
Join with us

We've got a place and it's here for you
For all we ever wanted was a different view
I never knew somebody lived with so much pain
If you open your heart come with us and we'll take you away

Come with us
Come with us
Join with us
Join with us
