1.	I've Never Learned To Know My Place 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Well, I don’t know why I can’t explain This feeling of rejection There’s no way I’d consider you A vision of perfection Can’t take ‘no’ for an answer So I carry on the chase And it’s ‘cause I’ve never learned to know my place I know I have an attitude I’m willing to confess to I know sometimes I talk too loud Trying to impress you If I can’t get off my high horse And I can’t get off your case It’s because I’ve never learned to know my place The moment I met him There and then I made a vow That I’m gonna get him I don’t know when and I don’t know how But with every situation Each time you put me down Came a dawning realisation I don’t need you around I know when all is said and done It’s just infatuation And all I’ll have when you are gone My only consolation When the letters are confetti And the memories are erased Oh, I still will never learn to know my place
2.	Superheavy (The Party's Gonna Soon Be Over) 04:35	lyrics	buy track
We’ve never, ever, ever Been in this together Except for when you need someone to pay And it don’t look too pretty Here in Salford city There has got be another way We’re treated like machines And we live beyond our means Anything we can do to survive Well, I’m just gonna chose To dance away my blues ‘Cause I just need to feel like I’m alive Chorus: The party’s gonna soon be over So let’s dance, let’s dance the night away The party’s gonna soon be over So let’s dance, let’s dance until we’re dead Abandoned by the nation Can’t rise above my station Baby, where you’re born is where you’ll stay You’ve used me and abused me And now you just refuse me How am I gonna live from day to day? All I see is violence And all I hear is silence Everybody’s playing their own role People now get ready ‘Cause this is superheavy Heavy as the darkness in my soul
3.	Seperate Way 04:08	lyrics	buy track
One more sleepless night Embracing where he laid Chasing traffic lights across the wall Oh, how you burn for him You toss and you turn for him But your hurt pride comes before a call Chorus: Seems there’s no escape from you Since you went your separate way I can’t erase the ache of you Since you went your separate way Your mind will dance all night To the rhythm of the rain Those twisted, tangled sheets they can’t contain The heat of a lover gone And how could another one Ever make you feel so warm again?
4.	When The Bitch Knows Your Name 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Call your guardian angel and tell her she’s been fired ‘Cause all those do-good people - well, they’re nothing more than liars And when I tell you to jump You’d better do just what I say Chorus: You may think that you know trouble You may think that you know pain But you can count that double When the Bitch knows your name You’d better pray to god that I don’t get in your head I’ll make your blood run cold and I’ll make your world feel dead To me, you’re just a plaything Hurting you is part of my game Chorus When you’re sleeping in the darkness, I’ll be standing by your bed Whispering sweet nothings your so-called friends have said And when you’re all alone All alone is how you’re gonna stay Chorus
5.	Save It For Me 03:57	lyrics	buy track
(Lyrics by Lisa Smith) Feeling like I’m never gonna get up off the ground Wondering if you even noticed I’m around Selling myself is never something that I do Much as I’d like to I can’t change that Chorus: Save it for me Treat it as a whim Save it for me Wait till I begin Save it for me I’ll be there in a while Save it for me Feeling like I might do something I regret Got ideas, although I know we’ve never met Daydreaming is all I ever do I’d really like to be in love with you Chorus It never happened Never happened for me Never happened But you got what you wanted It never happened Never happened the other way Never happened But you got what you wanted And now we’re both happy

7.	Give Me Some Passion 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Drive me crazy Like you used to do You can still amaze me What’s gotten into you? You can’t buy me with false emotion It’s not my currency If you want to win my true devotion I need your honesty Chorus: Give me some passion Make me lose control Give me some passion And a burning soul Come and save me Oh, come and rescue me It’s got so lazy How can I make you see? You don’t have to have a voice like Aretha To sing a soulful song You don’t have to be the colour of Marvin To know what’s going on
8.	Afropop 04:01	lyrics	buy track
(Lyrics by Julie) All those times I wanted you You weren’t around You let me down, oh yeah And now you’re at a loose end You want me back I can’t have that, oh no Now you say you’re sorry You’ve done the worst you can You hurt me bad All those times I needed you You weren’t around, You let me down, oh yeah And now you’re trying to get back in You’ve got no chance I want romance, oh yeah Made it on my own terms Too late – I can’t turn back I won’t do that You picked me up and dropped me You want your pleasure at your leisure, yeah Not falling for that spell again No, not this time I’m feeling fine, oh yeah Time to face the future Face it on my own I’m in control
9.	Don't Come Crying To Me 04:19	lyrics	buy track
It’s over now What’s done is done I don’t know how But the feeling’s gone And you, you got what you wanted You’ll get what you deserve But though I never made the first team I won’t be your reserve Chorus So don’t, don’t come crying Crying to me Don’t, don’t come crying Expecting sympathy Well, as for me I admire your taste Her personality Is thinner than her waist And if you call me ‘baby’ You’ll end up on the floor You wanted just a maid and servant Well, I want something more Chorus Don’t come around here Don’t act so self-assured Don’t come around here I don’t want you anymore It’s over now and the feeling’s gone
10.	Game of Chances 05:17	lyrics	buy track
You know my bright red letter days Have just been and gone And now I’m scared and I’m so afraid It might have all gone wrong ‘Cause there you and here I am We’re poles apart It’s not a life that was meant to be Chorus: I couldn’t stand to listen to you Telling me, you’re always telling me Telling me what I need Hope and pray, you’d better hope and pray Hope and pray that I bleed But now the rhythm is almost gone It’s not a game of chances And the problem is all my own It’s not a game of chances There’s a pillow where your head laid Now it’s no longer talking I think of all those plans we made But now I feel like walking With every day that passes by Comes certainty But in this world full of tragedy …
11.	The Ghost of Christmas Past 04:42	lyrics	buy track
I’m full of Christmas yearning I keep the fire burning For a love that isn’t there Outside the snow is falling And my empty bed is calling ‘Cause it’s all too much to bear Chorus: Now the nights are so long ‘Cause I’m here on my own Summer’s gone and winter came so fast Still the pain lingers on Since the day you were gone There’s nothing left but emptiness And me here, alone dear Haunted by the ghost of Christmas past Every tree is bare now Like the one that I have here now In my lonely living room And I only have the memory Of the gifts you used to send me When you promised me the moon There’s no goodwill to men Till you come back again I’m a fool who thought that it would last Still the pain lingers on Since the day you were gone There’s nothing left but emptiness And me here, alone dear Haunted by the ghost of Christmas past

about

Positronik - a unique marriage of pop, indie, soul and electronica, brimming with superb melodies and catchy hooks.

So how come the fickle world of music did not latch onto this marvellous set of tunes and make them superstars? Hard to say really, but the "biz's" loss is your gain, as we are very pleased to be able to present this set of tunes to you as a, more or less, complete document of the work of a trio from Stockport and Salford that brightened the music scene up considerably in Greater Manchester-land between 2010 and 2014.

The album download contains a full colour lyrics booklet with exclusive photographs of the band.
