Brain Tourist

I think I've got a bit of a problem
Regarding litter of the brain
If I can't clear up all the litter some time soon
I'll end up quite insane
How do I call Gabe from the Green team?
They don't send round the newsletter no more
I went to their recent fundraiser
They've put on maybe three or four
CHORUS
(Not now I'm tired) I know my way around
(Not now I'm tired) I think I'm losing my shit
(Not now I'm tired) It's not in the bathroom or sofa
(Not now I'm tired) These bloody brain tourists
You know in summer your brain starts sweating
No ventilation in my skull
I'm gonna forget it in the morning
โCos my heads nowhere near full
Our heads should be a wonderful greenhouse
Chunky plants and bugs? Amazing
The cleaner will charge extra however
And what to do about the double glazing?
CHORUS
He can't have made soup, that could be illegal
He can't have made soup, that could be illegal!
I would not not have eaten it
This feels immoral
CHORUS

Life as a Horse
03:34

Sorry to bother you
But my eyes are starting to blur
Is your head hurting too?
Or just me, from stress I'm under
Can I have my paycheque please?
To feed my son, he's only 3
My life feels lost sometimes
Can the sun envelop me?
'Cos I'm a horse
They've made me a beast
(Now I'm nothing but a worker drone)
I'm a horse
My production's increased
(Someone please help me 'cos I want to go home)
I can't afford a meal
But all my worries live rent-free
There's a lot on your plate
When you are a divorcee
Need to eat more oranges
I am weak and have scurvy
Gotta get vitamin C
Make my diet more citrusy
'Cos I'm a horse
Owned by the bourgeoise
(Domesticated for five thousand years)
I'm a horse
I threw my bills in the sea
(No central heating I'm cold feel my ears)
As riders and horse owners, we may have many questions about handling this emotional response from our horses
What causes fear?
How do I know if my horse is afraid before it escalates to dangerous levels?
How can I calm him?
Is there a way to prevent unpredictable behaviours resulting from fear?
If I am a better leader, will my horse recognise there is nothing to be afraid of?
I'm just a horse
With so much more to give
(This says a lot about society)
Yeah I'm a horse
Is there a reason to live?
(But I'm not known for impropriety)

Melanie

Do they deserve to live on this earth?
Can they exist on another plane?
Some of them can do origami
Maybe those ones can remain
Would you say hi to Melanie?
She'll tell you about her beans
I don't know what she means
But I'll say hi
"Battery acid, it's good for beans,"
Melanie screams at the sky
She eats all the pills, you know what that means
Melanie's beans are all high
She looks at you, you start to cry
Bean juice stains your cheeks
She looks at you, but you don't have
The answers that she seeks
Melanie runs so far away (so far away)
A trail of beans behind
But you can't follow, can't even try
The bean juice left you blind
Beans and introduction
Introspection with a bean
I don't know what that means
So I must die
"Battery acid, it's good for beans,"
Melanie screams at the sky
She falls to the ground and enters a dream
Of bean recipes from on high
Have you really reached the end
Or do Melanie's beans last forever?
Can Melanie and her atrocious beans
Really help your smoke better?
This is life with beans
It's just life with beans
This bean is inconsequential
This isn't the bean
That you had before
This bean is a differential
The mushroom men, they live off beans
(The beans? They eat the beans!)
"What do you mean they're Melanie's beans?"
The mushrooms scream from the sky
But Melanie's head is in disarray
She's really fucking high

Hypnosis
04:16
|

|
He sat down eyes towards the TV screen
Consuming mindlessly without a care
At 9PM the program changed and he
Decided it was time to go upstairs
However when he tried to go to bed
He realised he couldn't move at all
"Man this is fucking weird" he yelled and begged
For the magician to just let him fall
While leaning sideways he had tried to kick
And his frustration was perceptible
This seemed too real for just a simple trick
What was the reason he's susceptible?
The last hypnosis? Was there more in store?
For only three times chunky froze before

Mood Organ Leeds, UK
The Leeds-based group Mood Organ's distinctive sound blends catchy riffs and melodies with unusual chord sequences and arrangements, topped off with eccentric, tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
Mood Organ recommends:
Debut EP from local lads l'Objectif! They're not only a great band putting out great music, they went to the same high school as us so we're biased.

Nonagon Infinity
by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Our guitarist Thom is in love with this band, they're one of our main influences, each of their albums is a completely different genre...did we mention they churn out like 3 albums a year?? Insane.
