Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
You're just a two-bit motherfucker
With nothing left to give
Two-bit motherfucker
It's time to sink or swim
Stupid motherfucker
Who's very far from home
So come on (come on)
Come on (come on)
Come on (you're so tired)
[Chorus]
Closer now, closer now
(And I feel so tired)
Closer now, closer now
And I feel so tired but I
Will take all you got, tonight
[Verse 2]
See the way you're looking
I thought you'd take the blame
See the way you're looking
It's all just a game
You know I'm out to push my luck
Very far from home
So come on (come on)
Come on (come on)
Come on (you're so tired)
[Chorus]
Closer now, closer now
(And I feel so tired)
Closer now, closer now
And I feel so tired but I
Will take all you got, tonight
[Bridge]
It's all just a game
(You're so tired)
[Chorus]
Closer now, closer now
(And I feel so tired)
Closer now, closer now
And I feel so tired but I
Will take all you got, tonight
Yes, I feel so tired but I
Will take all you got, tonight

Amityville[]
Ex-Geneva singer Andrew Montgomery moved permanently back to UK in 2003 after Geneva disbanded, and formed this London-based band with guitarist Stuart Peck and drummer David Bevis, plus a number of contributors including Ben Ellis of Serafin and Catherine Wheel, who by this time had also returned to the UK.
Amityville did well on the London gig circuit and generated some press and industry interest, and they released a limited edition EP, Pacific Radio Fire, which quickly sold out. But ultimately the band was too indie rock-centered for the mood of the British pop band scene at the time, which was based around highly melodic soft indie such as Coldplay and Keane, and the band failed to get signed. Amityville broke up in 2005.
