about

3AM began life in the fingers of Michael Varnava, the first bass player of The Fuse. Immediately seen as a riff of genius, the song was built up by Mike, Jake and Simon in a practice session in early 2007. Jake and Alex then finessed the structure, with Alex writing the melody and lyrics after several different versions had been tried out. The song was brought up to date for the 2015 version, with a new middle 8 and a simplified bass line courtesy of new bass player Simon James White.

Lyrically the song talks about Alex Lato's memories of riding bicycles in Oxford after parties.

lyrics

3AM

Everybody knows the way we never used to pay Attention to the road regs
O the miles we used to ride
Everybody knows the way, the way that we would sway when we’d drunk too much to sober ride – anyone but you…

I know they’ll try to stop me and I know that won’t be great
But I’ll ride as fast as I can, I’ll ride to outer space.

Ravaging the saddle as I’m pedalling the pedal and I don’t roll over the side
Roll over the side, yeah.

O we talk and I scream that I’m sick of the same old sounds
Everybody knows the way we never seemed to pay attention to the road regulations
O the miles we used to ride

Yeah yeah I know they’ll try to stop me and I know that won’t be great
But I’ll ride as fast as I can, I’ll ride to outer space.
