Sneaky Sound System, formed in Sydney in 2001, is a dance-pop group originally featuring Black Angus (Angus McDonald), Connie Mitchell and MC Double D (Daimon Downey). Daimon Downey left the group amicably in September 2009 to pursue other interests.
The band has enjoyed considerable success on the Australian charts with hits "I Love It", "Pictures", "UFO" and "Kansas City", and have toured with the likes of Robbie Williams, Jamiroquai, Kanye West, and the Scissor Sisters.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
So this 2nd single from the album "2" is of course electronic but I think it would be fun to play in a live band. Not much work for the drummer though as it's a very basic beat but still fun! Anyway it's pretty simple to play. I know there is mainly keyboards for intro but guitar works too. The song sounds better when using barre chords. Enjoy!

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I’m sorry What you gonna do when you cross that line, cross that line, cross that line? And what you gonna do when you run out of time, run out of time, run out of time? What you gonna do when you cross that line, cross that line, cross that line? “Sticky fingers” And what you gonna do when you run out of time, run out of time, run out of time? “Facts and figure ends” oh oh oh OH
All we had was good, just like it should When we were young We were just nineteen, oh such a scene When we were young
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I’m sorry What you gonna do when you cross that line, cross that line, cross that line? “I told you to eat your dinner!” And what you gonna do when you run out of time, run out of time, run out of time? “I’m in trouble with you”
All we had was good, just like it should When we were young And all you would be kings, you fearless things Where are you now?
Don’t you throw it away, don’t you throw it away Don’t you throw it away, away
All we had was good, just like it should When we were young We were just nineteen, oh such a scene When we were young And all you would be kings, you fearless things Where are you now?
