Invasion 1 Lyrics

We wore pink in the 80s
What were we thinking
I got a brain cloud from the black light in your room
built to be seen just crazy
It just made us jumpy
When we should have been smooth

How do they save you from yourself
How do they save you from yourself
How will she save me from myself

I know just what you mean
Who will spearhead the invasion
I know just how you feel
Who will spearhead

Dropped off the face of the earth
Bobby is my hero for that
Down a hole with the Grinch's antler dog
And Yukon Cornelius
When I'm sober I need this

I know just what you mean
Who will spearhead the invasion
I know just how you feel
Who will spearhead

All right
I know just what you mean to me
Who will spearhead the invasion
I know just how you feel
I feel, I feel

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Invasion 1 lyrics by Matthew Good Band

This is what Matt Good said to a fan website about this song:

"A personal favorite of Matt's, Invasion 1 deals with everything from invasion, to Christmas characters. In fact the following Christmas characters are mentioned :

Yukon Cornelius, as well as Grinch's Antler Dog.

The reference to 'Bobby' in this song, is to that of Bobby Fisher. A child prodigy who seemingly slipped off the face of the earth. When asked about this in this song, Matt said :

"Yep, its about Bobby Fisher. If I ever become too famous, I want to disappear just like he did."

'Duffy' is a nickname that was given to Matt by his father. "

This is one of my favorite Matthew Goodband songs, i cant wait to hear the new band, and his new material. :)
