about

'Jumping The Shark' is the 3rd Single to be released from WeirdWolf's upcoming album 'Mild Fantasy Peril'. Bassist Martin sings this one and wrote the lyrics about how even though life circumstances change as you get older, and it can feel like your old life got erased, you are still you, and you don't have to 'Jump the Shark' with your own personality and what drives you. It's a nostalgic but uplifting Indie Punk song that fizzes with energy and melody.

lyrics

Wave goodbye to your reckless abandon
Hang it up in storage
With the coat you never wear
‘Cos the time it has come
To tell a different story
And lay your former glories to rest

How long ‘til you roll it over

Staying relevant
It used to be so all-
-Consuming to the point of no return
Put it all in a box
A plague on both your houses
Now all your second chances
Come third

How long ‘til you roll it over

It’s all you need
Head for the shoreline
These quiet scenes set the bar too high

Put your trust in it
It will come back to you
You didn’t have the choice to stay the same
When it’s all in row
The things that come so easy
Like being too crowd pleasing to try

So how long ‘til you roll it over

It’s all you need
Head for the shoreline
These quiet scenes
Set the bar too high
Your violent heart
Weighed down to waist height
Remembering

Put it down when it feels right
When you’re questioning the sights and the sounds
Play it down
Let it catch your eye
Let it catch your eye this time

Take it apart
Trace it back to the start
Refrain Jumping the Shark
Search this scene for signs of life
Take it apart
Trace it back to the start
Refrain Jumping the shark
Punctuate the sounds
