Presets, The - Downtown Shutdown Lyrics






Downtown shutdown
Taking over
Yeah this is what it feels like

Downtown shutdown
I can feel it
It's coming over
Turning my lights out
Downtown shutdown
Taking over
The back of my head
The back of my brain now

Downtown shutdown
Get my move on
I'm feeling kinda let down
I got to get out tonight
Downtown shutdown
Taking over
Yeah this is what it feels like
Downtown shutdown

You'll get the knack of all of this
You'll forget about all of us
All regret you will overcome

You'll get the hang of all of this
Standing on the precipice
I can't believe the view you've got

You'll get the knack of all of this
You'll forget about all of us
All regret you will overcome

You'll get the hang of all of this
Standing on the precipice
I can't believe the view you've got

Downtown shutdown
I can feel it
It's coming over
Turning my lights out
Downtown shutdown
Taking over
The back of my head
The back of my brain now

Downtown shutdown (Into it)
Get my move on (Into it)
I'm feeling kinda let down (Into it)
I got to get out tonight (Into it)
Downtown shutdown (Into it)
Taking over (Into it)
Yeah this is what it feels like (Into it)
Downtown shutdown

All I wanna
Got to get my head into it
Into it, into it
All I wanna
Got to get my head into it
Into it, into it, into it

(It's coming over)

You'll get the knack of all of this
You'll forget about all of us
All regret you will overcome

You'll get the hang of all of this
Standing on the precipice
I can't believe the view you've got

Downtown shutdown (Into it)
I can feel it (Into it)
It's coming over (Into it)
Turning my lights out (All I wanna)
Downtown shutdown (Into it)
Taking over (Into it)
The back of my head (Into it)
The back of my brain now (Into it)

Downtown shutdown (Into it)
Get my move on (Into it)
I'm feeling kinda let down (Into it)
I got to get out tonight (All I wanna)
Downtown shutdown (Into it)
Taking over (Into it)
Yeah this is what it feels like (Into it)
Downtown shutdown

All I wanna
Got to get my head into it
Into it, into it
All I wanna
Got to get my head into it
Into it, into it, into it

    Just discovered the new album a few days ago. Didn't know this was the first single. What a killer album.

  32. r.... s....

    Nice tune to help stomach this timless turning...

  33. A.... D....

    presets are the best

  34. T.... ....

    THIS WAS BY THE PRESETS ALL ALONG!!!!

  35. c.... ....

    Very strong drumcomputer and bassline. Super production. Nice vocals of all those people.

  36. S.... _....

  37. C.... ....

    Best song of the year......... so far..... keep it up presets .well done

  44. L.... W....

    Thank you for making this. This is pure magic.

  45. S.... ....

    Presets meets Wakanda.

  46. S.... ....

    Such a fat bassline. Lovin it already. =)

  47. p.... t....

    Presets go GRACELAND!! What is the context for this? It seems like it COULD be a platform to talk about immigration or refugees in Australia, but there is nothing...?

  48. T.... B....

    When did Ivan Milat get a bass guitar?

  49. j.... b....

    They can do no wrong!! Fecking awesome as man.

  50. D.... H....

    A bit of Paul Simon in there xxx

  51. D.... H....

    Love it! I'm a groupie now.

  52. A.... C....

    LOOK HOW HAPPY EVERYBODY IS

  53. M.... C....

    Super catchy!

  54. V.... ....

    Every song they make is a banger

  55. E.... T....

    Super talented group my fav since 2007

  56. A.... S....

    If this don't get you groovin', you're deaf.

  57. s.... ....

    THIS BETTER BE IN THE NEXT FIFA

  58. j.... m....

    bravooooooo

  59. C.... B....

    so it turns out this new album is like apocolypso on nitrous oxide. i love it.

  60. E.... B....

    So much groove here!

  61. J.... D....

    Sounds like Pnau !

    J.... D....

    Presets predates Pnau

  62. n.... a....

    is someone with a good ear able to make a bass tab or something for this? this song would be awesome to play along with i reckon

  63. R.... C....

    Like where they're heading with this. Reminds me of old second wave ska.

  64. G.... ....

    Good on ya!!! Y’all Fucking rocked this!! I can’t wait to see y’all in San Francisco!

  65. H.... W....

    What a bloody video clip son!!

  66. J.... A....

    Love this song so so much!!! If it doesn't go to the top of the charts, there is no justice in this world. You would think local radio would promote our home-grown talent, wouldn't you?

  67. D.... I....

    Such I love with your new album, pleaseeeee keep doing your beatiful music!!!!

  68. D.... W....

    Very dull and uninspiring.....imo!

    D.... W....

    Derek Winter yes. I heard this song in a store the other day. It annoyed the shit outta me, it is a very dull song. I wanted to see the comments, but everyone likes it. Hmm.

  69. B.... B....

    I can't begin to describe how tremendous this song is. What a pleasure it was to purchase this album today and blast the hell out of it on my stereo at home. This group continues to evolve into bold new territory, but all the while pays homage to their previous 3 x albums. This feels a little like Beams but with more soul! And a splash of almost WOMAD/Peter Gabriel spice mix. Bravo!!!!

  70. M.... C....

    Wow, they used to be so good once.

  71. M.... F....

    city trendies

  72. M.... B....

    Presets X PNAU

  73. N.... P....

    Fuck yes!

  74. N.... N....

    Why does the " edginess " of a band die with time?
    Is it me?...or is it the band?
    Their first album was raw and unrefined and spoke volumes, i noticed it with The Strokes too...i wonder if it's the people around them as their popularity gains, that has an influence...and they get lost in the marketing and appeal?

    N.... N....

    I mean their last album was Pacifica which was argually their darkest album, they change it up every single album it owns

  75. N.... M....

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!

  76. B.... P....

    Down vote shake down.... you'll get the nack of this

  77. M.... j....

    This is JAMMIN. Ok I need to check that new presets album out! And possibly go to a show if it’s as hype as this video !

  78. C.... H....

    finally new sounds

  79. k.... ....

    Doesn't go as hard as I like my Presets to go, but even with that being said, I enjoy it. Who can deny a funky groove? I will get down to whatever paths the Presets choose to take!

  80. T.... S....

    Getting sick of black culture in africa... sorry this ones a no from me guys

  81. C.... F....

    OMG BEST !!

  82. d.... ....

    Wow!, such an unexpected pleasant surprise!,

  83. G.... H....

    Belter!

  84. D.... R....

    Bangin'! Best thing they've done in ages.

  85. S.... T....

    #Dance 2 #ThePresets! Featured@ https://Summertriiangle.blogspot.com/search?q=The+Presets

  86. l.... ....

    fucken bangerrrr

  87. J.... R....

    I heard this at work today I love it

  88. F.... C....

    this crazy aussie people, how can them !!!

  89. d.... ....

    Great band to see live if you ever get the chance I highly recommend it.

  90. C.... M....

    shaking my funky groove thang

  91. S.... ....

    sooooooooooooooooooooo funky :D

  92. E.... T....

    this is amazing

  93. L.... F....

    Obviously a banger. But what's it about? Nightclub lockout laws and/or fleeing persecution? Thoughts?

    L.... F....

    Liam Fitzpatrick the lockout laws

  94. L.... ....

    formerly a massive presets fan....this is the worst left wing drivel. go fuck yourself cultural marxists. enjoy extinction

  95. S.... D....

    Men in their 40's never looked so good in front of a green screen!

    S.... D....

    Scott Dunstan
    Never say never

  96. I.... G....

    It's not bad, I don't like it as much as their older stuff though, the melody is a bit shallow in comparison to older gems like Fall and Talk Like That, still it's definitely danceable, just not that endearing to me

  97. W.... S....

    like no#533 im in early finally!

  98. R.... E....

    The Presets <3
