Spector débuted two new songs at Summer Well Festival in Romania; "Reeperbahn" and "Decade of Decay". Videos and lyrics below. "Reeperbahn" is suspected to be released as a single within the week, as the band were recently in Hamburg for no apparent reason - the location of the Reeperbahn. Enjoy.

REEPERBAHN

I dropped 250 on the Reeperbahn,
you can’t put a price on having fun.
Casinos, cashpoints, pool halls, cafés,
I wanna stay up on weekdays.
Drinking Bailey’s out of plastic cups,
I gotta pick my dry cleaning up.
I gotta book a last minute mini-break.
How long does a good time take?

CHORUS
The Reeperbahn,
I’ll see you on the Reeperbahn.
I’ll see you when our lives have taken turns for the worse.
Reeperbahn, my heart is saying:
Reeperbahn, my mind is saying:
Work much harder, take it slower.

Eleven euros in loose change,
Baby, can’t you be my baby every day?
Baby, can’t you take me seriously?
I’m an international man of misery.
I keep my enemies close to me,
backstabbers on my Blackberry.
But credit girl, where credits due,
you even ruin the songs I write about you.

CHORUS

I don’t care if dreams come true,
or if this decade matters as much to us
as yours did to you.
Nostalgia isn’t what it was,
and you’re not what you were.
One more drink and then I’m heading home.

CHORUS

Uh, ah oh. (x8)

DECADE OF DECAY

It’s been a decade of decay,
with nothing going your way.
So, we sing, sing a beautiful song.
Get the words all wrong.

Meet a pretty girl, try and take her home.
Meet a pretty girl, and it’s all wrong.

OK, we can do this a sensible way.
But it’s talk, and it’s not our forté.

So, we sing, sing a beautiful song.
Get the words all wrong.

Meet a pretty girl, try and take her home.
Meet a pretty girl, and it’s all wrong.
Meet a pretty girl, try and take her home.
Meet a pretty girl, and it’s all so wrong.

All we ever want is, someone to go home with,
someone to go home with.
All we ever want is, someone to go home with,
someone to go home with.

It’s been a decade of decay,
with nothing going your way.

So, we sing, sing a beautiful song.
Get the words all wrong.

All we ever want is…
