The things I've lost are where they belong I'll miss this headache after it's gone The face my memory tried to redact is back I brought my scissors, show me the bomb I'm doing nothing till the sun comes up If I do anything then you'll see something's up I'll stop at nothing just to get a bite I can't do anything except tell myself it's fine I'll lie in this ditch all night Ooh the tide was full of drips Ooh it rose and sank my ships Ooh I fell into a skip, can't find my chip now I'm doing nothing till the sun comes up If I do anything then you'll see something's up I'll stop at nothing just to get a bite I can't do anything except tell myself it's fine I'll lie in this ditch all night

Future Plans 02:25
Don't wanna keep your body on ice Well we'd be glad to take you until the next life We don't wanna be like the CSC So make sure you've got this covered on your policy So would you like to? That's good Yes that's good I knew you would That's good I knew you would Sweaty pen in hand The best of luck in your Arcady terrifying future plans Future plans Future plans You drew your last breath six minutes from death Antifreeze pumps through your veins, dry ice on the bed A nitrogen tube is where you will wait So far below freezing in your glass transition state And some magic day they'll create Micro machines that can repair Your trillion damaged cells Once they've cured old age And wanna help our ancient clientele with all their future plans Future plans Future plans Ten thousand years of sun will radiate its cosmic decay Your family don't wanna pay Believe me, I've explained It's much cheaper to just keep the brain But we're bankrupt and the power's off and so are all your plans Future plans Future plans

Too Soon 02:39
Too soon to be making jokes Please wait, we are too morose I just can't believe he's really gone Would you please stop making fun? When will you oh when will you be done? Too soon, wait a day at least Stop interrupting the priest And you seem genuinely dumbfounded That your witticisms Attracted so many criticisms This is not cabaret We are not entertained Too soon, do do do do do Too soon, do do do do do

This talk I give right into my eyes In the dots of toothpaste and desilvering black Adjust my name badge and tie Put my hair into the shape of denial Into the shape of denial Used to think it was futile The grimace welcomes me at my childhood door The pat on the back and the no small talk Bye bye black sheep Same old anticlimax carving lines On straw-filled camels' humps around my eyes Bye bye black sheep, bye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Used to act juvenile Turned my back went outside Stood in line by myself Paid my fines, loved the smell It won't be like before Let you down, disappoint But maybe someday you'll help me off my knees And maybe you'll even give me a seat The grimace welcomes me at my childhood door The pat on the back and the no small talk Bye bye black sheep Same old anticlimax carving lines On straw-filled camels' humps around my eyes Bye bye black sheep, bye

You have gathered an audience enthralled About the things in your head the night before Hard to take any more cause I have boring dreams Everyone takes a turn, they're all the same Standard imagery, weird and disarranged Makes me wish I could change, I don't want boring dreams You must find it strange There's nothing in my dreams but the mundane And I can't find a thing Interesting to tell you about my dreams Did you know that last night I dreamed of you Just like Dorothy in this very room Every day is a total redo of my dreams Waking sleeping I can no longer tell Doomed to live in this day recycling hell Then I open my eyes and it was all a dream You must find it strange There's nothing in my dreams but the mundane And I can't find a thing Interesting to tell you about my dreams Cause my dreams Are boring Boring I just had the most boring dream last night And I have the most boring dreams in life Had the most boring dream cause I have boring dreams I just had the most boring dream last night And I have the most boring dreams in life Had the most boring dream cause I have boring dreams I just had the most boring dream last night And I have the most boring dreams in life Had the most boring dream cause I have boring dreams

Lieutenant Naughtyman you've shot someone Hand in your badge and gun Go have a daiquiri go play some golf Think about what you've done Life is the lineup you buy your way onto But what do you do after it's gone to Pissed off with you cause you're caring too much You think caring is sharing For two cents you won't give a damn tinker's cuss Need a day off swearing Life is the lineup you buy your way onto But what do you do after it's gone to What to do Hand in your badge and your gun Think about what you have done Pissed off you're caring too much Giving a damn tinker's cuss Swallow your tongue Lieutenant Naughtyman you've shot someone Hand in your badge and gun Go have a daiquiri go play some golf Think about what you've done Life is the lineup you buy your way onto But what do you do with it after

Spoons full of sugar, no time to talk Read all my news off a cardboard box You say I am an advertiser's dream Bibbed men can pull a truck on a chain And so can I if I eat Nutri-Grain You say I am an advertiser's dream Keep crashing down from my sugar high Suffocate sobbing, distorted eyes I'm an advertiser's dream, oh yeah Advertiser's dream, that is what I am Have been since my life began Advertiser's dream, for my whole lifespan I've seen all the ads, I know all the brands Fall for scams and I read all of my spam All my spam Gold arches reaching up in the sky Dad just drives past, tells us we cry "There's some new toy to nag for every week" Mum's angry in the afternoon sun I'm messing up the car, drips all down my front I swear it's not my fault, it's the icecream Eyelids blink tears like they've stepped in gum It's serious, not just a tantrum I'm an advertiser's dream, oh yeah Advertiser's dream, that is what I am Have been since my life began Advertiser's dream, for my whole lifespan I've seen all the ads, I know all the brands Fall for scams and I read all of my spam All my spam Advertiser's dream, that is what I am Have been since my life began Advertiser's dream, that is what I am Have been for my whole lifespan Advertiser's dream, that is what I am Have been since my life began Advertiser's dream, for my whole lifespan I've seen all the ads, I know all the brands Fall for scams and I read all of my spam All my spam

I Give Up 02:01
I give up acting like one of them, yeah I give up blending into their world, I'm wasting my time Takes so much to leave my bed when it's just a means to an end Unless you've got some ideas, I give up I give up trying to get into shape, yeah I give up taking care of my health and seeing myself It just takes up so much time, if I don't no one seems to mind Unless you've got some ideas, I give up Yeah, I give up About to meet my new self for the first time The old one's long since worn its welcome out Cause I'm done playing bench in your ball game Even though it's the only ball game in this town I give up trying to be interesting, yeah I give up taking interests in things that I don't like All these paintings are just junk, everyone's a pretentious drunk Unless you've got some ideas, I give up Yeah, I give up I give up I give up I give up

I wanna go out but all of my friends are dead Or they may as well be I'm so down, got crumbs all over my bed And this room's not roomy Somebody's sleeping, someone's out A fridge is beeping in my mouth I crawl inside a beer on the couch But I would walk out that door If I could go round to yours Cause maybe if you are bored Then we can both be bored together, yeah Then we can both be bored together, yeah Then we can both be bored together, yeah Both be bored together, yeah Forgot to turn on a light But I won't call it a night I wanna get out the house Do something cool, something grouse and I would walk out that door If I could go round to yours Cause maybe if you are bored Then we can both be bored together, yeah Then we can both be bored together, yeah Then we can both be bored together, yeah

Our third album.

Our 85% of each sale goes to independent eco and/or human doers of good. From this album's release date to the next one's, all proceeds went to Australians for a Murdoch Royal Commission to help delay the arrival of the "post-truth" dystopia we'll be living in soon enough (if not already)
