Through scientific green light the agent says to the alien, “bro what’s your planet like”, and it replies “my head is a balloon” Soon to be disclosed the findings are put into a sealed restricted water gun, ready to be fired at the world At the time the actor lines the population into formation, they don’t want to hear no intergalactic information Follow the people follow the people don’t forget your market research, gotta make your way out of the pit, doin ya bit, trying to get off the ground Gotta make your way living a bit, killing a bit, trying to get off the ground

Jellyfish 06:03
Again and again, I watch your fire flickering when a twig falls in But you set yourself up far away from the leaves in a valley where it seems that there aren't many trees So you float along like a jellyfish with your blinker on, waiting for the change to the fast lane Sometimes you catch my eye with a glimpse of style that makes me smile And I wonder what would happen if that fire made its way to the trees You'd light 'em up like a starting gun We wouldn't have no need for the sun You can float along for as long as you like There's a current underway but it leads everyone to the same place You can float along for as long as you like There's a current underway but it leads everyone to the same place I may not know you well but it seems to me that you're not completely free There's something there that feels tied down that I can't compare to the noise of the crowd Please don't stick around in a fickle scene I wanna see you climb the hill to the leaves and the trees So you can float along for as long as you like There's a current underway but it leads everyone to the same place You can float along for as long as you like There's a current underway and you can follow it until it evaporates

Gold Slinger 04:28
How you doing there babe, don't mind me Just thought I'd nab this empty seat Anyway I'm sure that you were dying to meet me Even though you look like you'd ignore me completely Let me tell you something about me and my mates We're mad gym junkies, my pecks are like steel plate And I can lift a 10,000KG weight And babe, the way I squat, you should see the rate I move my Massive wang I am the Gold Slinger All my guns are shining And the wood I gather for myself ensures my ladder's climbing I am the Gold Slinger, standing in the breeze But gold is really heavy and I feel weak at the knees Yeah, I feel weak at the knees You wanna know something that happened to me The other day, just casually Well me and my boys were keen to get loose Had so many invites, you know when it's so hard to choose So we headed to my penthouse for some pre-party booze To kick back on the deck enjoying pristine harbour views When I got there, babe, I swear to god There were 72 cops waiting all around my block Now I'm not at liberty to tell you why You just better keep in mind that I'm a mysterious guy I am the Gold Slinger All my guns are shining And the wood I gather for myself ensures my ladder's climbing I am the Gold Slinger, standing in the breeze But gold is really heavy and I feel weak at the knees Yeah, I feel weak at the knees Oh babe, forgot to ask, what is your name? And what are you doing on this south line train? So you're heading off to high school? Well I can tell you all about that Why don't you stay on this carriage so we can continue this chat Maybe head back to yours so I can pet your cat Do you hear me when I tell you that I'm this and I'm that? Ok...maybe...well, fine I guess I'm not your type Nah, who am I kidding? Damn! I'm dead sexy right? Well fuck off bitch. Guess you must be a dyke!

Always <3 01:18
The word "Always" I kinda hate it It slips into sentences, accidentally shaping reputations Where's the patience? "Always" always plays the call to hastily and what you mean gets lost along the hallways in the space between the faces of communicating parties and because you didn't pace it there's no chances left and all it seems you did was waste your (breath) Now what about "Sometimes"? There's a word that breezes through the chimes. And it puts up the signs that add some colour to a black and white view that you can do with only One line

I’m an animal. I’m not trying to write a cliché metaphorical song I really feel like an animal Like you could study my behaviour for two or three weeks and find it so predictable And I wish that my awareness would let me be the person that I’d much rather be But the closest I can get is the performance I give of the imaginary me I really feel like an animal, because no matter what I try my brain’s still too highly flammable If you’ve got a spark in your head. Go talk to a friend or something. Don’t come spit it out at me My mental walls are only so thick. And quick to disintegrate. Too bad I’m a living thing Whatever is easier to say than to really mean. What you say plays on repeat in my head like a broken machine There never seems to be enough you say or do for me to bring it up and try and talk to you So if you’ve got an issue with me just fuckn just pull up a seat but with passive aggression we’re never gonna agree. If you’ve got a spark in your head. Go talk to a friend or something. Don’t come spit it out at me. My mental walls are only so thick. And quick to disintegrate. Too bad I’m a living thing If you’ve got a spark in your head. Go talk to a friend or something. Don’t come spit it out at me. My mental walls are only so thick. And quick to disintegrate. Too bad I’m a living thing

Is that what I said? "If I get to 21 and I've done nothing, then I'll make a plan B" Well I better just extend that to 23 I don't wanna think about how I compare When it comes to IQ and common sense Hey all you famous people, got a question or 2... Can you shuffle round a bit and give me somewhere to sit? Branch out then fall then back I crawl It's plain to see what works for me Being a normal person is something that I do in my spare time 'Cause life converts to music through a filter in my mind Come to think of it I like that line Maybe I can stick it in a song if I can get it to rhyme Branch out then fall then back I crawl It's plain to see what works for me Branch out then fall then back I crawl It's plain to see what works for me

Sitting around thinking about how lazy I am but I'm not gonna do anything 'cause I'm sittin around thinking about it Missing your call got my eyes to the wall 'cause I don't wanna see anyone while I'm sitting around letting myself down

Sittin around thinkin about how lazy I am but I’m not gonna do anything ‘cause I’m sittin around thinking about it Missing your call, got my eyes to the wall ‘cause I don’t wanna see anyone while I’m sittin around letting myself down And all I wanna do is prove that the view that I have of myself isn’t true And all I wanna do is prove that the view that I have of myself isn’t true And you can look around the room and have a laugh at yourself for not being on par You can look around the room and have a laugh at yourself for not being on par You can look around the room and have a laugh at yourself for not being on par But you’re still gonna be stuck with who you are Whipping around and I feel like I weigh just about 2 pounds No years, no days, and when I look down it seems that my feet aren’t... Hitting the ground when I hear that sound is a headfirst landing So I hit snooze. And that’s just what I do till I feel like a loser And all I wanna do is prove that the view that I have of myself isn’t true And all I wanna do is prove that the view that I have of myself isn’t true And you can look around the room and have a laugh at yourself for not being on par You can look around the room and have a laugh at yourself for not being on par X7 But you’re still gonna be stuck with who you are You're still gonna be stuck with who you are

Too right too fine too straight to be in this world of irony Where bliss is found in misery Who's high who's gettin by who's low? Takes a good hard look to know When everyone's in pursuit of artificial insanity Is it sicker if it's different? Will it fit into the vibe? Will it make you listen when I sing it to you live? So live it'll exhaust you to analyse I know the world and I can tell by watching from my cell It's hell I think it needs a bubble bath Too right to fine to straight for me In my world it won't agree with the people that I want t..to notice me You know the world and I can tell by watching you do well So well, while I sit and brush my hair And I'm so high. But my head unscrewed and fell and now it's low So low, I've got artificial insanity Is it sicker if it's different? Will it fit into the vibe? Will it make a difference when you go and sing it live? Just as long as it qualifies as Art: Official Insanity

Where’s Gandalf when you need him, I reckon he's puffing on his Gandalf smoke. So I'm left to my intuition to figure out what I've gotta do and where I've gotta go Language is a funny thing, we can all invent our own, got the structures flowing through our bones, one day I decided I should probably get a job, got a call back on my resume from bar-tender bob. He said “what unique qualities do you have son?” I said “shyumi wa inkundus pescado tiki tiki num num” Met with a blank stare back from bob and got kicked back through the door So I soon learnt that I’m better off sticking to the common tounge And the wind and the waves smash against the helm and the road is long through this treacherous realm. Where’s Gandalf when you need him, probably getting high off his Gandalf smoke. So I'm left to my intuition to figure out what I've gotta do and where I've gotta go Met a pretty girl at the pub, I said add me on facebook, she said yeah alright bub My facebook message to her was 57 words too long, I guess I came on too strong, now that ship has sailed, yeah she’s long gone And the wind and the waves smash against the helm and the road is long through this treacherous realm. Where’s Gandalf when you need him, the prick’s getting high off his Gandalf smoke. So I'm left to my intuition to figure out what I've gotta do and where I've gotta go Yeah I'm left to my intuition to figure out what I've gotta do and where I've gotta go to be an average joe Now I’m a normal person - Easy to meet, easy to greet And you can tell me a crazy story and I’ll just say “cool” or “yeah” or “sweet man” And I don’t wanna be a tall poppy. Or a green poppy or a purple poppy, I wanna be a copy of everyone else and If I diverge pop culture will stop me
