NOTHING TO PROVE NORVELLE — Album 3 [Intro – Dirty Melodic Bass Riff, Tight Live Drums, Sharp Rhythmic Guitar Stabs] [Jack – Spoken, Natural British Accent, Cheeky] Alright, alright… You can stop looking at me like that. [Full Band Kicks In – Catchy Guitar Riff] [Verse 1 – Relaxed, Rhythmic British Indie Vocal] Got a mate with a five-year plan And a watch that costs more than my van Got a flat with a view of the motorway Says he’s absolutely smashing it, mate Got a cousin selling cryptocurrency And a bloke who wants to network with me Everybody’s got a little bit of advice And they’re all doing brilliantly, right? [Pre-Chorus – Playful Stop-Start Guitars, Melodic Bass] Well, good for you! (Backing: Good for you!) Yeah, lovely stuff! (Backing: Lovely stuff!) But I’ve heard enough! [Chorus – Catchy Fully Sung British Indie Melody, Crunchy Guitars, Natural Band Harmonies] I’ve got nothing to prove! Nothing to lose! Don’t need a five-bedroom house Or a brand-new pair of shoes! You can talk all night About the things you do But I’m doing alright With nothing to prove! [Post-Chorus – Funky Bass Hook, Melodic Male Backing Vocals] Hey! Hey! Nothing to prove! Hey! Hey! What about you? [Verse 2 – Stripped-Back Bass Groove, Angular Guitar, Conversational Melodic Vocal] Got a woman at work with a podcast Says I’m wasting my potential too fast Says I ought to be investing in gold I said, “Love, I’m only thirty years old!” Got a letter saying rent’s gone up And a parking fine I haven’t paid up But I’ve got two tickets for Friday night And for once everything feels alright [Pre-Chorus – Drums Drop Out, Playful Vocal Responses] Well, good for you! (Backing: Good for you!) Yeah, lovely stuff! (Backing: Lovely stuff!) Now turn it up! [Chorus – Full Band, Strong Melodic Lead, Layered Male Harmonies] I’ve got nothing to prove! Nothing to lose! Don’t need a five-bedroom house Or a brand-new pair of shoes! You can talk all night About the things you do But I’m doing alright With nothing to prove! [Instrumental Break – Infectious Bass Riff, Interlocking Electric Guitars, Energetic Live Drum Fills] [Bridge – Half-Time Groove, Relaxed Spoken-Sung British Vocal] You can keep your motivational quotes And your ten-step guide to getting rich Your six o’clock ice-cold showers And your pictures from the gym [Band Stops – Brief Silence] [Jack – Spoken, Dry British Humour] Honestly, mate… Give it a rest. [Drum Fill – Guitars Return] [Final Chorus – Big Melodic Indie Chorus, Driving Rhythm Section, Warm Male Band Harmonies] I’ve got nothing to prove! Nothing to lose! Don’t need a five-bedroom house Or a brand-new pair of shoes! You can talk all night About the things you do But I’m doing alright With nothing to prove! [Outro – Repeated Funky Bass Riff, Playful Guitar Stabs, Sung Band Responses] Nothing to prove! (Backing: Hey! Hey!) Nothing to lose! (Backing: Hey! Hey!) [Jack – Melodic, Playful] I’m doing alright! [Sudden Full Band Stop]
