Slow Down (The Academy Is... Vocal Cover) 04:02
lyrics
Close the door and take the stairs. Up or down? Ups and downs. Don't pretend you've never been there. You kiss me like an overdramatic actor who's starving for work, with one last shot to make it happen. You've won the role, you've played your part, you've been cordially invited. But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited. 'Cause the film runs a shallow budget, and the writer's subject script isn't any deeper. So dive right in... Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, hey you, who are you kidding? I'm not like them. I won't buy in. Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, hey you, who are you kidding? Don't quit 'til 47. Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster. Take back everything you ever said. You never meant a word of it. You never did. Take back everything you said. You never meant a word of it. You never did. She said 'Alright, Alright, slow down!" Oh no, oh no, we won't. 'Cause I regret every thing that I said To ever make her feel like she was something special, Or that she ever really mattered. Or did she ever really matter? Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, hey you, who are you kidding? I'm not like them. I won't buy in. Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, just don't count on this summer. Don't quit 'til 47. Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster. Take back everything you ever said. You never meant a word of it. You never did. Take back everything you said. You never meant a word of it. You never did. I'm not saying that I'm not breaking some hearts tonight, girl. Oh... I'm not saying that I'm not breaking some hearts tonight, girl. Alright, alright, slow down... Take back everything you ever said. You never meant a word of it. You never did. Take back everything you said. You never meant a word of it. You never did. Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, hey you, who are you kidding? I'm not like them. I won't buy in. Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, hey you, who are you kidding? I'm not like them. I won't buy in. Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, hey you, who are you kidding? I'm not like them. I won't buy in.

Matches (The Format Cover) 01:51
lyrics
Ashes to ashes Some dust on the dash I've got my cigarettes but I can't find the fire that's calming me down I was just out on a night with my friends You are still out on a night with your friends and you don't seem to tire when I'm not around I'm under the tunnel I'm holding my breath I searched every pocket that hung in the colest 'til I found some matches in a brown leather jacket One I swore I've never worn but it once kept you warm Do you remember we made love on the floor and you still haven't called So I'll wait 'til they're closing the bars I made a wish but the match never lit

Selling Out Is The New Keeping It Real (Raw Experimental Demo) 02:38
lyrics
Throw away your old lives Stored bottles in the cellars of my heart, girl Sealed myself away in a tank, but you keep tapping on the glass Do what you want with me anyway Cause it won't be enough to get me on this boat So here's the truth I love you But you're a bitch to me Get a prospector out here and at that a paleontologist Cause I think I just found a new breed Of gold digger, you won't believe I'm just as flawed, but half as raw Not quite less astounding So you better run for the hills Cause pretty this ain't soundin' So here's the truth I love you But you're a bitch to me So here's the truth I love you But you're a bitch to me A bitch to me (repeat times ∞)

about

Make Me Pretty is incredibly proud to present their first ever release-worthy collection of material, "Talk the Walk - Demo EP". With its title taking inspiration from William Beckett's solo EP, "Walk the Talk", its origins in purpose are simple to explain. Upon having the chance to meet William Beckett (of "The Academy Is..." fame) in person before a local show, Alex Toor & Zoë Boyle set out to craft a small showcase of material for the pop punk star to listen to early on and thus, this EP was born.

We thoroughly hope you enjoy our debut musical effort. Both of us have put a lot of time and effort into making the swirling sounds in our head something real you can actually listen to. If you enjoy the EP, please consider leaving a small donation versus the regular free download price, as we are just two young students who are solely responsible to fund all of our whimsical adventures on our own.

Thank you for taking a listen or two,

Alex & Zoë <3
