Back in the world, the physical world Back with a vengeance we come From the flash in the pan into the fire Shot from a gun Rising on up through the ashes Reborn on the run Starting again, circadian Back to square one We're gonna make it We shall overcome Launching our rockets Straight for the sun With a crash and a bang we'll fight again Our time will come Turning over the page on yesterday Back to square one We're gonna make it We shall overcome Firing our arrows Straight for the sun Back in the world, the physical world Back with a vengeance we come Starting again, circadian Back to square one

Alamein Line 03:08
Sun sets over the junction Make it across town at her behest Take your time honey, there’s no need to hurry on over Lost in sweet locomotion Take me to the place that’s the best I’ll tell you everything I can’t admit when I’m sober Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time She’s the queen of innuendo Waiting by her bay window Up and down the grove and suddenly the mood gets stronger She tells me Deepdene’s a deep scene Falling out of step with the jet set ETA baby, are you gonna keep me waiting much longer? Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Ah Alamein Line, Alamein Line Ah Alamein Line, Alamein Line, Alamein Line, Alamein Stumbling onto the concourse How did I end up in Whitehorse? Help me out baby, got a super bad sense of direction Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Oh, Oh, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time, Alamein Line it’s a hell of a time

Jacaranda 02:52
I need to remind myself Of all that I know to be true Timing has never been my friend For out with the old and in with the new I need to align myself Before I am lost in the maze Souvenirs up on a dusty shelf remind me of the halcyon days Rise with me from the aftermath Walk with me down the golden path Come unto me jacaranda I never walked your way When you were beginning to bloom All the time I was being lead astray Through crowded streets and waiting rooms I need to remind myself You won't stick around for too long When the summer sings farewell Will you be riding into the sun? Rise with me from the aftermath Walk with me down the golden path It's our season, jacaranda I need to remind myself Of all that I know to be true I need to remind myself Of all that I know to be true Ride the waves of vibrancy To the shores of reality Seize the moment, Jacaranda Rise with me from the aftermath Walk with me down the golden path See you shining, Jacaranda Come unto me, Jacaranda

We rode the sun swept highway all summer long Canyon to coast, valley down to the shoals Though we knew what we were doing was wrong No reproach could mould our gentle minds And what else could a poor boy do? Eyes were always stuck on you Don't ask me if it's better against the tide For you remain my first concern Some things you just never learn Don't try to understand or justify. I thought I lost you in enchanted hills When darkness fell upon the church of San Miguel In the maelstrom one sure moment of still The sweet kiss of death when we were at our best But what more could a poor boy do? Eyes were always stuck on you Don't ask me if it's better against the tide For you remain my sole concern Some things you just never learn Don't try to understand or justify. And oh the days are long But memories creep into my mind and keep me hanging on Your ship has sailed afar into the sunset And Pacific Ocean waves, I'm here where I belong. And what else could a poor boy do? Eyes were always stuck on you Don't tell me it get's easier in time But if time is what you really need Baby who am I to impede? I will do what's right, And set your spirit free, from me.

People look up at the sky Watch the dark clouds float by They pray for rain but hope that they stay dry People drink themselves insane And give their children funny names They're in the know but the first ones to complain That it's slow. And there's no logic in change Question everything Everything is strange People look across the seas Feel the chill of the ocean breeze They've reached the coast but now they want the trees People talk themselves inane Their empty words don't mean a thing They're on the move but happy to explain That it's slow. And there's no logic in change Question everything Everything is strange Yes it's slow. And there's no logic in change Question everything Everything is strange

You'll be fine, give it patience and time She said no, no, no Don't you shout, we can work it all out She said no, no, no We'll make it through the night You don't have to explain What you were trying to say When you were trying to tell me Black is what you're feeling inside and out You were trying to tell me Black is what you're feeling inside and out We can drive across the borderline You said no, no, no I'll stick around through the ups and the downs, You said no, no, no When the rips they pull you under Though I can't understand the pain Please don't push me away When you were trying to tell me Black is what you're feeling inside and out You were trying to tell me Black is what you're feeling inside and out You were trying to tell me Black is what you're feeling inside and out You were trying to tell me Black is what you're feeling inside and out

Trade War 03:18
We’re starting a trade war We’re gonna get what we paid for Keep the economy stable Coz this deal’s off the table Leaders of men they all fear me In stadiums they all cheer me I get my way oh one way or another Excuse me Listen boys up the back Here’s our plan of attack Learn the rules of the age-old game Rip it up, burn it down Put the boots on the ground We will bow to the king of pain Have we reached rock bottom? We’re starting a trade war Keep your eye on the stage door Every sinner’s a saviour Never mind their behaviour A time to be outspoken To keep our promises broken There’s no reason to change what has always worked for us Listen boys up the back Here’s our plan of attack Learn the rules of the age-old game Rip it up, burn it down Put the boots on the ground We will bow to the king of pain Have we reached rock bottom? Listen boys up the back Here’s our plan of attack Learn the rules of the age-old game Rip it up, burn it down Put the boots on the ground We will bow to the king of pain No I won’t shake your hand ‘til you meet our demands Back it up, pack it up and go! There’s a line, pick a side, as we drift to the right Back it up, pack it up, let’s go Have we reached rock bottom?
8.
Let it be known We have reached the fork in the road Spending all of our prime Trading money for time Searching for substance Got to believe in something that’s real Seizing the moment Whatever will the future reveal? Though the earth is strong All we know will soon be gone We’re counting down the days We know that we can’t carry on Let it be clear That we don’t need panic or fear But late is the hour So the time for action is now For a love that’s worth saving Or do we long for what we once had? If history is in the making You hold it all in the palm of your hand Though the earth is strong All we know will soon be gone We’re counting down the days We know that we can’t carry on

Here there, the velvet affair Dreams are back in style Fill my heart with hope if only for a little while Near, far, wherever you are Please return to me Let me give you all my love throughout eternity Let me hear your gentle sigh Fall together and gaze at the sky Feel the sunshine and see the love in your eyes Care, care, I wish you would care See to a reply Fill my heart with hope if only for a little while Near, far, wherever you are Please return again Take me for a ride once more and Let me be your friend Fall into my yearning arms Tempt me with your alluring charms Meet at midnight and make love under the stars Care, care the velvet affair

LYRICS: I used to stay in on weekends yeah I used to dance alone Calling all my northside friends ‘til They all switched off their phones Searching for a new hotspot I came across this soulful shack With a boogie out in the front bar And all the rock and rollers stomping out the back At The House of Love At The House of Love Follow down the dive strip The funky pied piper will lead the way The doors are always open You can call it home anytime of the day We could Soul a Go-Go Maybe even risk it at The Toff But if you’ve lost that mojo baby You can find it at the house of love At The House of Love At The House of Love Let me take you southside baby Where the party makers go Everybody’s welcome here At the happiest place we know It’s a place for romance Hot chance the dancefloor comes alive So leave your friends at the Windsor end Coz you’ve found a better dive The DJ plays the sisters Singin’ “you can ring my bell” all night Smiling faces all around Under the spinning disco light You won’t find another like it You won’t find a groovier scene And it’s no secret that all the funky people Are raving if you know what I mean So if you love the backbeat breaks And want to take it to the top The doors are always open here Where the good times never stop At The House of Love At The House of Love Let me take you southside baby Where the party makers go Everybody’s welcome here At the happiest place we know
11.
Look no further It’s appeared before your eyes The search is over It’s the ultimate surprise Looking for closure Tired of running around No need to worry about it now Look no further It's right here before your eyes It’s now or never It’s the ultimate disguise Holding you closer When no-one else can be found This is the moment here and now The search is over The search is over Look no further Look no further

Worthwhile 04:17
I’ve been living in fantasy A life of infinite rhapsody Out on my own where I’m wild and free No choices to make, threw my chances away I’ve been thinking about friends of mine Breaking out of the paradigm I’d like to join them if I could find the time But there’ll be no regret, I’m not leaving you yet Looking back won’t change nothing baby Begging you “please”, it’s just not my style I’m broke, despondent and loveless But it was all worthwhile I’ve been burning the candle bright Crystal clear in the deep dead of night Could’ve pushed harder if I felt it was right But I sure did indulge, this I must divulge So, perfection is an endless dream Introspection is a dangerous thing Please don’t forget me while I’m in between I’ve made my own bed; I’ll sleep when I’m dead Looking back won’t change nothing baby Begging you “please”, it’s just not my style I’m burnt out, wretched and jaundiced But it was all worthwhile We used to stay out all night Making plans for a world we’d be living in now Well time has changed us for better But it was all worthwhile Looking back won’t re-write the story Drifting away on the winds of time I’m broke, naïve and distorted But it was all worthwhile
13.
All of my dreams blowing away in the breeze All that I have are the sweet memories “It won’t be long ‘til you come crawling home” That’s what they’d all say Watching my youth fading away, incomplete Dragging me under in a whirlpool of defeat An innocence surrendered to the night The games we’d all play All of my dreams running away down the track The carnival is over, now there is no turning back Never change, don’t compromise Some things will always be

about

Cheersquad Records & Tapes are super excited to announce the forthcoming release of 'All Fuller No Filler', the second album from the Melbourne-via-Perth power pop wonder boy Wesley Fuller. To be released Friday March 15, 2024, the album has already been proceeded by three stellar singles - the anthemic mission statement "Back to Square One", "Alamein Line", which was premiered internationally in August by esteemed UK magazine Shindig!, and most recently present the '70s-styled dancefloor party starter "The House Of Love" - which have had power pop pundits the world over getting excited!

Wesley Fuller was first discovered by legendary English A&R man James Endeacott, who previously discovered The Strokes and The Libertines. Fuller signed to Endeacott's Sony-UK affiliated 1965 Records label in 2015 and started making waves with his 2016 EP Melvista – which Clash Magazine (UK) called “gloriously imaginative psych pop”. He cemented this early promise on his debut album Inner City Dream – twelve tracks of swirling psych, jangly pop and punchy, crunchy glam – around which he toured across the UK and Europe including an appearance at Spain’s iconic Purple Weekend festival, garnering attention from the likes of the NME and BBC6 along the way.

Fuller first made a name for himself early in the second decade of the millennium, up front of Perth power pop outfit Hurricane Fighter Plane (who took their name from a wigged-out song by late '60s Texan combo the Red Krayola). Hurricane Fighter Plane made a handful of singles, including the brilliant Byrds-indebted "I Can't Win". Discovered online by legendary English A&R man James Endeacott (The Strokes, The Libertines) who signed Wesley to his label Sony UK -affiliated label 1965 Records, Fuller moved to Melbourne where he met and worked with like- minded folk like You Am I's Davey Lane. Soon he was making waves internationally with his 2016 EP Melvista and his 2017 debut album Inner City Dream, around which he spent an extended period of time touring Australia and in the UK and Europe. Of course, at the start of the new decade, the world changed and Fuller's ability to keep the momentum going was lost.

"It was the late summer of 2019 and I'd just returned home to Melbourne after a European Tour (and several months overseas following that). I'd just ended a long-term relationship, and I'd never felt so disconnected from my friends in the Melbourne music scene - having not played locally in almost a year.

“With no gigs booked, a second album still yet to be written and recorded and so many old connections to try and rekindle, I knew that I was essentially starting from scratch.I'd lost all the momentum I'd built up in 2018, so I was back to square one. It was time to get cracking on album #2!”

The result of that disconnect and of hours of isolated work throughout lockdown and beyond, Fuller's second album is ready to go. "Back to Square One", which was the first taste of that new album, is a dazzlingly brilliant retro-futuristic pop stomp, and a self-depreciating acknowledgment of the artist's current whereabouts. That self-depreciation is also punningly present in the title of the forthcoming album. Having recently played his first few shows for a few years, Wesley will soon start playing out in earnest, in preparation for the new album's release. He's got some big musical promises to deliver on; after all, no one goes back to square one with plans to stay there.
