Athlete are an English indie rock/"casio rock" (that's what they call it themselves) band. Friends since the age of fourteen, Athlete took their wide ranging influences such as Grandaddyand The Flaming Lipsand started jamming and practicing in the basement of The Bear, a pub which was converted into a church and sandwich bar, on Deptford High Street in 1999. They began recording here before sending demos out. Signing with Regal Recordings, they released their first single in February '02. The band came to prominence in 2003 when their debut album - Vehicles and Animals - produced popular singles such as You Got the Style and El Salvador.

Athlete

There's a house at the end of the road
it's got no windows and it's hard to see what is going on in there
there's a man and he asks you what you want
he's got no reason but you feel like you can't just ignore what he says
imagine he's all you've got
imagine he's all you've got
there's a house at the end of the road
it's got no windows and it's hard to make out what you just came here for
catch the sun through the trees as you are walking
through the garden
you've just got to get in before they close the door

imagine he's all you've got
imagine he's all you've got

imagine this is all you have come across
imagine she's all you've got
imagine this is all you will ever have
imagine he's all you've got
