100 Round The Bends Lyrics

I think this song is about a girl who has been in a relationship for a while and they're bored, they make each other angry, and most of all fight just to keep things interesting.

"I follow complications like a bloodhound" - instigating

"When hanging upside down your smile's a frown, its all too easy on the ground" - things are too boring and cliche when they aren't in some sort of conflict

"Jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends" - tumultuous..fighting

"We'll take this road til we're back at the start again" - they fight all of the time

"We'll pretend that rage is feeling real" - They need excitement so they fight to feel "real"

"So I've got a brand new rubber band for you boy, Go on and give it a stretch, I can see you're itching to, Frustrations on the boil" - he's got a new fight to pick with something she did
