The Masquerade Ball came quicker than expected. Tanner and his band have turned out ot be one of the bands performing. Tanner isn't too excited about that though. He says, "We aren't a formal band. Just because we're from Manchester doesn't mean we know how to be proper."
We are currently backstage at the ball.
"We still having no fucking clue on what songs to perform." he says to me, very frustrated.
"How about Pressure?" I suggest.
"Yeah, yeah, okay. Maybe we can do that new one." he says quitely.
"The new one? Do you mean You?" Jesse ask.
"Yeah." Tanner answers.
"We haven't performed it live, hell we haven't even recorded it yet." Adam protest.
"That's right. We should probably wait." Kendall says.
Tanner sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "So we're performing Pressure and that's it." he says, "This is a bust."
"Let's do Talk!" Adam says.
Tanner nods and begins to pace back and forth. "Okay, Pressure and Talk."
"Tanner can you do Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You?" Kendall ask.
Tanner sighs, "Yeah I think so."
A mna comes in with a bluetooth in his ear. "You have 2 minutes before you go on. Do you know what songs you are going to perform?"
"Yes, we'll start with Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You, then we'll sing Talk! and end with Pressure." he explains.
The worker nods and escorts me out. I sit to Lauren and Ally. I hear the come up ans I see Tanner on stage with the piano. He plays one note then stands up.
"Fuck it." he mutters.
Suddenly te rest of the band comes out and hands Tanner a guitar. They start playing a very familiar tune.
Bite your face to spite your nose
17 and a half years old
Worrying about my brother finding out
What's the fun in doing what you're told?
I said, "No!"
"Oh give it a rest, I could persuade you"
"I'm not your typical, stoned 18 year old
Give me a night I'll make you"
"I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age, but girl I'm not your savior."
Wrestle to the ground
God help me now because
They're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls
They're just girls
A pair of frozen hands to hold,
Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold,
One moment I was tearing off your blouse,
Now you're living in my house.
What happened to just messing around?
I said, "Yo, I think you better go; I can't take you."
"You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds and you think you've made it."
"Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
Wrestle to the ground
God help me now because
They're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls
They're just girls
I told her from the start
Destined to be hard
I told her from the start
I'll break your heart
Destined to be hard
I'll break your heart
