1.	Wrongshade 02:51	lyrics	buy track
Outcasts, losers, social defects Losing fights with inanimate objects So crank it up, drink a beer while were here ...It's the wrong shade of orange Geeks, weirdos, acid casualties It's time to party, so sod anxiety! Crank it up, drink a beer while were here ...It's the wrong shade of orange Spiral of confusion you are Chasing tangent after tangent Sinking even deeper Losing sight while keeping tunnel vision On the problem rising by the moment As urgency rises Dividing infinity still leaves you with infinity So you wake up in the moment Snapping out of this temporal madness Getting more familiar still Price of existential crisis Getting lost in thought paralysis There is no answer, what the hell was the question? ...It's the wrong shade of orange I'm in a situation One I cant control Fight or flight response And the pressure takes it's toll Now I'm looking out at you And your looking back at me And I'm nodding back at you But I don't know what to do Its Anxiety (Attack) Spiral of confusion you are Chasing tangent after tangent Sinking even deeper Losing sight while keeping tunnel vision On the problem rising by the moment As urgency rises Dividing infinity still leaves you with infinity So you wake up in the moment Snapping out of this temporal madness Getting more familiar still Getting more familiar still Getting more familiar still Getting more familiar still You wonder why your life is going by faster and faster Life. Absurd. It's the wrong shade of orange Life. Absurd. remember We don't know what it means This life is just a dream... Wrong Shade of Orange
2.	Forced To Use A Shitty Drum Machine 01:51	lyrics	buy track
There were no drummers in this town So we were forced to use a shitty drum machine With the inevitable rise of singularity It will take over, replacement robot souls here to stay Droning dis-affected, mass malaise enslaved Social Networks, has the hive-mind came of age? With the inevitable rise of technology It will take over, replacement robot souls here to stay. Starting with this bridge transporting you to a dystopian future, we're all robots dancing to a spinning endless never-ending circus vortex of 010101010101010
3.	Alektorophobic Nosebleed 02:18	lyrics	buy track
Pitch black beady blank stupid eyes Cannibalistic nightmare feathered creatures This irrational fear is surprisingly common. Cultivated poultry fascination Farmyard fears are forever edging Billy Broiler Bantam Beware the pecking order But one Halloween on a costume party poor bugger never ever seen it coming sitting at the bar with a fresh new round trying to keep this phobia under control his mate walks through in a giant chicken outfit ...in a panic, he sprints into a pole! He had an alektorophobic nosebleed.
4.	Massacre Of The Flies (ft. Kieran Scott) 01:22	lyrics	buy track
Last summer, open window There's dead birds Rotting in close proximity From the carcass, hundred insects Flying all directions quite dizzily Swarming vortex, in my room Such a humming buzzing nightmare Dilemma granted, whats the solution? It's insecticidal warfare! Vomiting and defecating Musca Domestica posterior Bacterial breeding site Contaminated life renewal Writhing maggots feasting veraciously Hundreds, thousands, millions Spreading pathogens, entirovirus Viral Hepatitis! I stand here with inaction Conflicted, conscience grips me out of nowhere I should not be, killing freely Entomology I should prepare! As I study, this fine swarm A single housefly darts into my mouth! A grossed out trigger Pacifist disfigure Time to take these little bastards out Today, these flies die deodorant spray, open flame roasted husks onto the floor ...was it worth a half-burning house?! I'm fine with this massacre of the flies I will not rest till these fucking housefly's die.
5.	I Was Caught Shitting In A Plastic Bag 00:46	lyrics	buy track
I was caught shitting in a plastic bag And I was squittin' all my din-dins and then I was glad So don't worry fellow Cos it made a nice pillow ...I was caught shitting in a plastic bag Paralytic drunken mess Squatting on my knees Toilets too far away So here is where I shit today Squatting over plastic bag I begin to defecate Door burst open wide ..And my friends point and laugh and I die a bit inside! Cos I was caught shitting in a plastic bag...
6.	Get Off Your Bastard Phone (You Anti-Social Dickhead) 03:20	lyrics	buy track
We went out to our local As a bunch of mates But your zombified and hunched over Your gadgets makes me quite irate... GET OFF YOUR BASTARD PHONE! Nokia, Samsung Motorola, HTC Apple, Android Sony and a Blackberry... Get off your bastard phone! I know I sound old and dated As you hear me rant and moan But socially your distracted And I've never felt more alone GET OFF YOUR BASTARD PHONE!! Hey you I'm going to throw your phone into one of many unpleasant places which happen to rhyme with each-other so please do yourself a favour and get off your phone every once and a while, yeah? Cheers.
7.	Anal Sex 01:58	lyrics	buy track
She asked me to go down ..going down into brown town! I think it's kinda weird When your rimming with a beard Poo particles get all in there Incubating in this facial hair But It is my turn to give But it is my turn to share Your crown Ass of brown Unhygienic Playground But I'l do it for her But I'l do it for love Anal Sex
8.	Drinking The Drunk Away 02:49	lyrics	buy track
Hangovers, the inevitable state of your bodys recuperation (here we go!) Feels like you've been hit by a truck! (was worth it!) Ethanol, the diuretic root of this self made Urination situation, your bladders gone amok So next time you participate in a boozy celebration Drinking into fools paradise Guzzle water, you outta take it from someone like me ...Someone who doesn't take their own advice! Hangovers are here to stay So were drinking the drunk away Micturition dissaray... whiskey jager vodka, tonic mixed with gin it's debauchery and sin when we're drinking the drunk away!
9.	Duck-Faced Selfie 02:18	lyrics	buy track
Locked in a box reflects my window screen Objectification of my self-esteem Just a throwaway moment granted I take another Duck Faced Selfie Trapped in a scrap with my fear - obscurity Pixel-thumb ad-nauseum, insecurity Flex for the googleplex bear witness to the Duck Faced Selfie Hollow in the head, like the walking dead, I see it in your eyes I said, hollow in the head, like the walking dead - such a weak disguise Hollow in the head, like the walking dead, can't you see it in my eyes? I said, hollow in the head, like the walking dead - such a weak disguise We're all fakers! Anthropocentric And hypnotic clique Mirror reflects all That flatters not!
