about

You know that thing when you go to an all night gong bath but the instructors are irritating and in the morning you're made to sit in a circle and share your experience with the group? Yeah that's what this song is a bit about.

lyrics

LYRICS //
I can do yoga, I've been to Berlin
I can do sober, I mess around, with a down powered heineken
I like to wash up, when I'm in the dark
So i tried something weird at the weekend, a kind of pyjama bath

I'm into tantra, and spiritual things
Like playing recorder, on the beach
Peanut butter pilates, sticky as sin
So i tried something wild at the weekend, a kind of sensory swim

The music's cheap, the lights are dim
I lost my cool in the village gym
They wouldn't stop
And they couldn't sing
Ah um ah um ah um (slide ahh)
I wanted peace, and space to think
I wanted quiet
But the gongs groaned on and on and on and on
It's a karaoke mantra

Come inside,
take time,
bags by this sign,
put aside Brookside,
be kind,
sleep high,
Einstein knew why lots of things worked fine,
not why third eyes need gongs all night

My brother's a broker
He bets on the wind
But I prefer solar
I like the way, that it shades how I'm coloured in

Got my graze box
Got my flip flops
Got my green stocks
See i'm even clean when i'm investing
So I tried something strange at the weekend, a kind of mystical fling

The music's cheap, the lights are dim
I lost my cool in the village gym
They wouldn't stop
And they couldn't sing
Ah um ah um ah um (slide ahh)
I wanted peace, and space to think
I wanted quiet
But the gongs groaned on and on and on and on
It's a karaoke mantra

Weird tea,
big sea,
bags by your eyes,
everyone! speech time,
how was your night?
Einstein knew why lots of things worked fine,
not why third eyes need gongs all night
