Biography:
Dum Dums; A Brief History...
"Who are Britain's most important guitar band ? JJ72? Coldplay? Muse? But look at that list and tell me whether those bands are really changing peoples lives? Because, believe it or not, Dum Dums are. ...where others preach to the converted, they are leading an increasingly significant segment of the pop massive up the dark slopes of indie" - MELODY MAKER
From their formation in 1997 to their farewell show in August 2001

Verse
D5 Bb5
I woke up in a sweat last night
G5 C5 Bb5 A5
I realised I'd chosen my life
D5 Bb5
And the cleanliness drove me over the edge
G5 C5 Bb5 A5
At the supermarket where noone existed
D5 Bb5 G5 C5 Bb5 A5
Claustrophobic hairspray, absolute sense of no control
D5 Bb5
And my heart beats faster than revolving planets
G5 C5 Bb5 A5
Like a renegade satellite tripping on the canvas
Bridge
D5 G5
Walking down to the video store
C5 F5 F/E
Out of time before the stars expire
D5 G5
I see it clearly as I’m gathering speed
C5 F5 F/E
I’ve never felt alive like this
D5 G5
Over the airwaves calling me home
C5 F5 F/E
Transmitting they will never give up
D5 G5
I’m at the point of no return now
C5 F5 F/E
It's the place I could never go back
Chorus
D5 Bb5
I think I’m in too deep
G5
Travelling at speed x2
C5 Bb5 A5
Falling like a moon out of orbit
w/intro
w/verse
The world’s so photogenic everything just turns me on
To the reality the life that I’ve chosen
I’ve chosen the wrong one
I’m imagining the look on their faces
When everyone seems so pure
And I’ve done the unthinkable
The thing they said I never could do
w/bridge
Something eating at the pit of my chest
Adrenaline overwhelming my thoughts
Feels like I’m overheating
Somehow I’m still gathering speed
Over the airwaves calling me home
Transmitting they will never give up
I’m at the point of no return now
It's the place I could never go back, yeah
w/chorus
I think I’m in too deep
Travelling at speed x4
Falling like a moon out of orbit
Middle
D5 G5 F5 F/E
At the bottom of the river, cheating death but for how long
D5 G5 F5 F/E x2
I love you, I just couldn’t, ocean goes on and on
Solo
