A dramatic and huge impact tune focused on big chunky piano chords, bass, guitar and male vocal. The song is about being an underdog and following the crowd. Catchy choruses (0.25, 1.19 & 2.40) glimpsing at The Smith’s style “How Soon Is Now’ guitar wah, making you stomp your feet and nod your head approvingly. Love, love, love this!

DOGS RUN IN PACKS 

So let me tell you about this one I got two reasons to know.
I was concerned, but taciturn and moving too slow.
Let me tell you about distance and why you got to go.
It’s in your head, things you said, is it burning that soul now you were told.

[Chorus] They got you at the back running with the pack.
Now what you think kid? Stab you in the back, rip you like a rag.
They got me in the back, making tracks. I was feeling it a little.
Put it in the past, gonna make it last. Dogs run in packs.

Tell me about your frustrations. Have you any doubt
you need to change and rearrange, and start speaking out loud.
Is this an open invitation? Does it make you proud?
Does it detract from the fact that you’re stuck in that crowd? I’ll tell you now.
[Chorus]

Are you listening in? Don’t distract you know you’re only running from the facts.
Are you listening in? Don’t pretend. They’re not going to get you in the end.

Are you going to be another one? Are you losing control?
Have you learned to discern before you’re too old?
Are you going to be another one, are you losing your head?
Is it making you scared? No, it isn’t fair, are you losing that thread?
