She wrapped her legs around him And pulled him tight towards her chest She tilts her head And whispered in to his right ear She whispers "Do you want to Dance with the Devil?" "Dance with me, Dance with me, Dance with me" She seemed so lovely, seemed so nice I'll think i'll spend the rest of my life with her He came home late one night And found her lying on the bed She re-positions herself From underneath his oldest friend This is what you get, This is what you get, This is what you get! When you wanna Dance with the Devil Do you wanna Dance with the Devil? It can make you blind It's the Devil in disguise You could lose your mind It's the Devil in disguise Do you wanna Dance with the Devil? "Dance with me, Dance with me, Dance with me!" Do you wanna Dance with the Devil?

Nobody but you Makes me feel the way you do Nobody but you When you said goodbye Said "Darling, please don't cry..." When you said goodbye The tears in your eyes Are burnt in to my mind Now they're tears in mine Nobody but you Makes me feel the way you do Nobody but you Nobody but you Nobody but you Since you've been gone I haven't loved anyone Since you've been gone Nobody but you Makes me feel the way you do Nobody but you Nobody but you Nobody but you

Side-Stepper 04:06
He's one of a kind And she caught his eye No ring on the fourth finger of his left hand He makes his way to go backstage with the band She's got to know who he is Has he got something to hide? She starts to make her move & kicks her boots to the floor but he's already gone, The Side-Stepper Here's the Side-Stepper. He's a mysterious man And her, his number 1 fan He is one way one day, then different the next He stays the night then won't reply to her text He's certainly not Who he appears to be Now she's down on her knees & she wants, she wants to believe The Side-Stepper Here's the Side-Stepper Don't let it get too hard on you now The Side-Stepper Don't let it get too hard on you now He's the Side-Stepper Don't let it get too hard on you now He's the Side-Stepper Don't let it get too hard

Imposter 04:48
They only show you what they want you to see Laughter in the back-yard while the children play Reveal a little piece of yourself, In the cold, cold light of day When the stories you were told as kids About how to live life were fake Then you're betrayed by the ones that you love, In the cold, cold light of day In the cold, cold light of day We are all imposters We are all imposters When you thought that you could bear the weight And now all you can do is pray And the vultures are circling you In the cold, cold light of day Now the actors are assembling themselves In this role that you were born to play And you're waiting for the curtain to fall In the cold, cold light of day In the cold, cold light of day, We are all imposters We are all imposters We are all imposters, In the cold, cold light of day We are all imposters We are all pretenders We are all just actors In the cold, cold light of day. We are all imposters We are all pretenders We are all believers In the cold, cold light of day.

about

‘This is what you get’, released May 2017 is the debut EP from Melbourne duo HPKNS (pronounced Hopkins).

The record is raw and unfiltered to capture the simplicity and early stages of the bands life.

The writing obsesses over the illusions of lust and desire while the edgy and dark narrative style of lyrics draws inspiration from another Melbourne native, Nick Cave. Musically there was a strong urge to do as much as possible with as little resource as possible. The challenge of restraint produces an apocalyptic post-blues sound with power and violence reminiscent of other two pieces, The White Stripes and Royal Blood.

All music was written in two weeks from their Southbank apartment and recorded in 3 days at Hothouse Studios, St.Kilda.
