Gotta get on down
And outta this place
I'm feelin' weird
Like i need some space
Good god!
I can't dance!
I need to mentally prepare
A few days in advance
Everybody seems to be
Having a good time but me
Maybe I'm not built for this
ANXIETY
Glad you guys are having fun
But now i'm gonna have to run
You guys keep on going,
I'm gonna bounce

Lazarus had nothing on you
We thought you went to the celestial zoo
The lungfish calls you brother
And I guess that we should too
Hope to see you round, oh
Oh coelacanth
See ya, coelacanth
Hope to see you round, oh coelacanth
Guess you haven't changed much
Why fix what isn't broke
Hope to see you round, oh
Oh coelacanth
Poseidon rules such a cruel domain
We're glad that you're here on this mortal plane
Let's face the world together
Until our judgement day
Hope to see you round, oh
Oh coelacanth
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Coelacanths are still with it
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Cuz I hope to see you round, oh
Oh coelacanth

Brainfoghorn
02:00
|

|
Since my mind set sail I've been swimming
Tongue tied, it's a weird way of living
Clocks are running fast or maybe they've stopped
Time feels fake and my focus is shot
Set sail for the high seas of Thinking
Capsize on the jagged rocks, i'm sinking
What's real what's fake what's up what's down
I'm lost at sea and I think I gotta sound the
BRAIN FOG HORN
Cuz there's no way I'll make it to shore
Gotta sound the
BRAIN FOG HORN
So I can see what I'm doing this for

Evolution of the Eye
02:12
|
|||
|
Crawled up from the ocean
Come to land to face my fears
How far I've come in just a couple hundred million years
At some point I got a backbone
At some point I got a spine
At some point I developed a pair of lovely eyes
Now I look at you and I see the history
Now I look at you and I see the mystery
Now I look at you, you're a dream come true
Every time I look you feel brand new
The eye evolved to see you in the sunlight baby
I evolved for this point in history
The eye evolved to see you in such vibrant color
I evolved to see you

Jar of Pickles
01:51
|
|||
|
My heart is like a jar of pickles
Kinda sour kinda sweet soaked in brine
No sandwich to pair with,
Lower than a side dish
No deep fryer I can call mine
My heart is like a jar of capers
A ball of salt that won't go by itself
No pasta to complement,
Contemplating time spent
Sitting on the market shelf
But no more i'll keep it tightly sealed
Cuz gradually it's been revealed
That its no good til its open
The seal can't go unbroken
Won't keep my heart all bottled up no more

I Outsolve You
01:48
|

Motherboard? What motherboard?
Your circuitry is cardboard
CPU? GPU? Ha! I feel so bad for you
My name is Sam and I'm a computer man
Doing calculations as fast as I can
Clickity-clickity-clack that's your failing drive
I'm picking up slack while your brain gets fried
Supercalifragilisticexpialla OH SHIT
Poppin' in to say you're short a few bits
Short circuiting while you keep on freezing
Fans are struggling while I'm keeping it breezy
Motherboard? What motherboard?
Your circuitry is cardboard
CPU? GPU? Ha! I feel so bad for you
Call me deep blue, Kasparov is my foe
You can't solve your way out of tic-tac-toe
Let's hash this out, you can't break my streak
What's wrong? Did your memory leak?
I outsolve you
Outsolve you
Leave you in the dust
You know it's true

Rough Edges
02:06
|
|||
|
Obsessing about that window dressing
When it's what inside the store that counts
Details crystal clear and flawless
This clarity I now renounce
No endless options
No more resetting
It's now or never
I'm never letting you go
Rough edges
Fretting about a minor detail
Can't see the forest for the trees
Deciding that I'm done deciding
And maybe now I'll finally feel free
If there's an error
We grin and bear it
No second chances
We're on the air right now
Rough edges

Terminally ill
Plugged in and online
Know all there is to know
Except for my own mind
Sharing peer-to-peer
With nothing in exchange
I’m giving out my heart
While I’m poisoning my brain
I sleep
And wake
I'm real
I'm fake
I’m looking for the signal
In the noise
A signal to sing along
With my digital voice

Furniture Hellscape
01:46
|

|
I am a playwright
And my entire home is my stage
Interior design is my passion
And I’m busting out of my cage
Come on! come on over
To the garden of Swedish delights
Sleek and modern living
At a very affordable price
A couch extended to your heart’s desire;
A meeting of the minds in the hall of fire
To get your dinner you gotta crawl through the wall
The toilet’s at the end of a HUNDRED FOOT HALL
Haha!
trapped in my furniture hellscape
It’s all so wrong and I made it just for you!
Good luck!
Trying to escape from this nightmare
I don’t know the way out
cuz I am trapped here too
well. looks it's just you and me.
hey. pass me a meatball.

Spring Cleaning
02:19
|

Get it out
Getting rid of stuff we don't need
A chair that sucks to sit in
And a cable that's been bitten
Mmm, spring cleaning
Clean it up
I sit inside my house all day
Because of that I must
Be always cleaning out the dust
Mmm, spring cleaning
Ooh, cat hair everywhere
Ooh, clothes I never wear
Ooh, it's getting bad
Ooh, future me would be glad
To get it out
Getting rid of stuff we don't use
Like furniture that's busted
And like sauces I don't trust in
Mmm, spring cleaning

My Father's Sacred Sword
02:00
|
|||
|
I am on a quest
For my father's sacred sword
Unparalleled in craftsmanship in all the land
The blade, the blade!
Sharper than a dragon's fangs
Cuts through foes like a big knife through a ham
All i ever wanted was to fill his giant shoes
I'll retrieve his sacred blade, there's no way that I could lose!
.....Wait, what?
What? What do you mean?
You're telling me he stole it from a guy when he wasn't looking?
What? What do you mean?
You're telling me my father was a lousy good-for-nothing?
No! I don't believe you!
Foul demon begone
So you're telling me -
That he stole a sword to impress the ladies?
And - furthermore -
That he was a no good crook who would steal from a baby?
No! I don't believe you!
Lying beast begone!
I am on a quest for my father's sacred blade
I know it's so strong and so cool
People lie and besmirch my father's name -
Bronkius Bonehead
The Village Fool

Cartoon Mines
03:28
|
|||
|
The man upstairs is breathing down my neck
And the people wait and they wait so viciously
If the little guys I find
Deep in the cartoon mines
Don’t satisfy, then all hell breaks loose
Maybe things aren’t the way that they used to be
Well things are better and worse and just the same as ever
And even if we strike that gold
We can’t keep doing this until we grow old
The cartoon mines will claim us in the end
I just wanna draw a little picture (a little picture)
Just wanna play a little song (a little song)
But when problems seem so big
Sometimes it feels just a little bit wrong
I just wanna tell a little story (a little story)
I just want to feel just fine (just fine)
But when things get down to the wire
I’ll take another shift in the mines
Cartoon mines, the cartoon mines
Dig around, see what you find
You might have fun, you might get canned
In this weird little Neverland
Cartoon mines, the cartoon mines
We make you laugh, while we want to cry
We would move on, but it’s all we know
so sit back and enjoy the show

Only A Toad
01:59
|
|||
|
Another day, another coin to my name
That's all I get for being part of the game
It's kinda unfair, they're just out on the road!
But i'm not a hero, I am only a toad
I'm not a hero, I am only a toad
Now I may be short but I've got my skillset
For pulling vegetables I'm your best bet
I need a cough drop for my very sore throat
But i'm not a hero, I am only a toad
I'm not a hero, I am only a toad
My brethren have worked for you for years
And toads we always do what we've been told
But maybe we shouldn't be such fun guys anymore
Maybe it's time to revolt
But we won't...cuz....
I'm not a hero, I am only a toad

Freshly Squeezed
by The LA Limes
me and da boys playing some funk!

supported by 219 fans who also own “Cartoon Funk”
I liked Desired's self-titled release very much, so had to get "Lovestory" as well, its style feels the closest. Desired must be a fan of the 80ies "Cat's Eye" anime, as tracks 1 and 8 are from its soundtrack.

Hold Your Horses

The singular Australian ensemble returns with another LP of vibey instrumental soul drawing from 60s and 70s deep funk classics.
