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.

On And On Lyrics

Athlete

I just got your message saying there's no-one to trust
and if there is nobody then i might as well give up
but i don't wanna go there cos i dived right in ten years ago
and ever since then i've been swimming after something i don't know
part of me feels that i could run for miles
and part of me feels that it's too hard to try
i'm not so sure if there's a way over
just out of reach, but not impossible
i just got your message saying there's no-one to trust
and if there is nobody then i might as well give up
but i don't wanna go there cos i dived right in ten years ago
and ever since then i've been swimming after something i don't know
i just got your message saying there's no-one to trust
and if there is nobody then i might as well give up
but i don't wanna go there cos i dived right in ten years ago
and ever since then i've been swimming after something i don't know
[i just got your message saying
i just got your message saying
and if there is nobody then i might as well give up
i just got your message saying
swimming after something
swimming after something]
