How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Banquet” is a punk/electro UK anthem, full of swagger and sexual tension. It was the second single off the band’s debut album, and amassed a large amount of remixes, most notably by The Streets and Mike Shinoda.

The video featured the band playing a disengaged set, watched on by a group of fans who eventually warm and begin moshing at the culmination of the track.

The track was initially released with the song “Staying Fat” on the B-Side, before being given a proper release with 2 CD versions, a DVD, and a 7" vinyl package.

“Banquet” is also part of the licensed soundtrack of Life is Strange 2. The song is featured in Episode 1: Roads, where Daniel Diaz and (optionally) Sean Diaz dance as it plays on their room’s television at the Three Seals Motel.
