Information
A punk-inspired early song that Muse (one time under the name of Rocket Baby Dolls) played during battle of the bands contests.[1] Matthew Bellamy mentions this song on the Origin of Symmetry interview promo.
In April 2009, a video of Muse playing Weakening Walls at a Battle of the Bands contest in Torquay in 1994 was uploaded on YouTube.[2]
Live
Weakening Walls holds the distinction of being the only song from the band's first gig that has an available recording. This is because it was performed at both the Battle of the Bands performance in November 1994, but also the Battle of the Band performance in March 1994. This implies that the band considered it good enough to perform over the majority of 1994 and possibly into 1995.
Lyrics
Possibly inaccurate
Don't you hear prophecy
Can't tune out apathy That doesn't mean that you can't change
Drive down a one-way system But you can still choose the direction Wake up and realize
You've got to realize It's never to late to open your eyes And see the changes going on
Time to wipe tears away Trade away your future life for today Tonight it gets better
I I just can't stay Stay until tomorrow It's just too long for me To sit in sorrow I just can't stay Stay until tomorrow It's just too long for me
I I just can't stay Stay until tomorrow It's just too long for me To sit in sorrow I just can't stay Stay until tomorrow It's just too long
