Flyte – Over and Out

Just when we think the world of regular indie/guitar bands has reached its natural end and that the only way forward is to diversify and come up with new offshoots and new ideas, along comes a band to make us think again. Meet Flyte, a quartet from London who will be releasing their EP ‘Live’ next month and have just made this, their first video, using a giant green screen in their bedroom. We’re told there are catchy nods to Talking Heads, and you can hear that. In fact a few bands of that era come to mind, including XTC.

Flyte – Over and Out

Flyte – Over and Out Lyrics:
My old friend, did you come to the end
Is your mind made up?
Is your mind made up?

My dear man, now you’ve landed down
Did the voices stop?
Did the voices stop?

Calling at the ground
Calling at the ground
Up here your wings will weigh you down
Without a shadow of a doubt
YOU’RE OVER AND OUT

Terrible way towards Middle Ages
Is your bed well made
Is your bed well made

You reached out of time with your last life lane
You can sell yourself out
You can sell yourself out

The money might make you happy
But it’s a crime that doesn’t pay
This really doesn’t matter much to you now
YOU’RE OVER AND OUT

You’re over and out now
Over, over and out
Over, over and out now
Over, over and out

My old friend, did you come to the end
Is your mind made up?
Is your mind made up?

My dear man, now you’ve landed down
Did the voices stop?
Did the voices stop?

Calling at the ground
Calling at the ground
Up here your wings will weigh you down
Without a shadow of a doubt
YOU’RE OVER AND OUT

You’re over, over and out now
You’re over, over and out

To live only
To be found to
See the family
Only on Sunday
To be over and out

It’s over.
It’s over.
Flyte - Over and Out
