Lyrics
They got nothing on me anymore
They got nothing on you
I don’t care what they say anymore
All I want is the truth
Out on bail
To unveil
Here’s a song
Sing along
They got nothing for me anymore
I got nothing for you
I don’t care what they say anymore
All I want is the truth
Out on bail
To unveil
Here’s a song
Sing along
Watch my style
Pick up pace
Wipe that smile
From your face
Out on bail
To unveil
Here’s a song
Sing along
Watch my style
Pick a pace
Wipe that smile
From your face
They got nothing on me anymore
They got nothing on you
I don’t care what they say anymore
All I want is the truth
Listen / Watch
Notes
Written by Liam, it's a raw aggressive rock number, featuring pounding drums, gritty guitars, and Liams snarling vocals delivering lyrics that revolve around defiance and truth-seeking.
The song draws inspiration from a real life incident: Liam's infamous 2002 bar brawl in a Munich hotel with some businessmen, during which he lost two front teeth, and faced legal troubles, including being out on bail - elements echoed in the lyrics like "out on bail to unveil.
It was performed live during the bands Dig Out Your Soul Tour, including a notable rendition at Wembley in 2008, and Liam reportedly pushed for its inclusion in setlists despite initial band reluctance.
Fan reaction is mixed; some appreciate its energetic, punk-like vibe as a late career highlight for Liam's song writing, while others view it as a straightforward but unremarkable album cut.
