The View from the Afternoon 🟡 2.) I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor 🔵 3.) Fake Tales of San Francisco 🟡 4.) Dancing Shoes 🟡 5.) You Probably Couldn’t See for the Lights but You Were Staring Straight At Me 🟢 6.) Still Take You Home 🔵 7.) Riot Van 🔵🥇 8.) Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured 🔵🥈 9.) Mardy Bum 🔵 10.) Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong But… 🟢 11.) When the Sun Goes Down 🟢 12.) From the Ritz to the Rubble 🔵 13.)
