i drive there in an SUV
past gas stations of my dreams
we meed in a little italian joint
you bring that tall, tan british boy
as hot as manly beach can be
thongs on toes in february
the australian sun can't heat my heart from here
as hot as manly beach can be
thongs on toes in february
the australian sun can't heat my heart from here
heat my heart from here
heat my heart from here
heat my heart from here
heat my heart from here
oh, heat my heart from here
oh, heat my heart from here
heat that heart from here

i drive everywhere in my honda
the stairs are electric, i don't walk up
we watch tv instead of making love
the waiter fills my glass up to the top
people don't move much in america
they just don't
they just don't
sometimes i wonder what food is for
what food is for
what food is for
what's the point of putting fuel in a car
if it don't move no more
move no more
people don't move much in america
they just don't
they just don't
i'd walk forever to see you but it's faster to drive
the sidewalk is thin and the speed limit's high
my mom told me to wear flashers at night
but i lost my pair one sophomore night
so i'll push down my foot and sink further into the earth
and along the thick lines i was gifted at birth
all these types of people
are just sitting behind wheels
and they're thinking they are freer
but they're really no where near
they'll take a 7 hour flight
they'll take a 5 hour drive
they'll take a train for 10 hours to avoid getting on a bike
people don't move much in america
they just don't
they just don't

and i'm afraid of flying, why do you bother
tryna convince me all the time
it's my life i can decide
what i wanna do in it
and what i wanna leave outside
i'm afraid of flying i don't wanna get on a plane
so stop playing this game cause i don't wanna play
i'm afraid of planes what's the problem
i don't like the food i don't like the people and they get me into a bad mood
so let me drive or take a train and i'll be happier
and you can just shut your mouth cause i don't wanna bother

ten years ago i lost my appetite
on the way to charlotte on the london overnight
by the shore my grandpa told me here's a plane
and i threw it right into a bigger lake
jimmy doesn't wanna walk away
but i told him get on the plane
he said i fly in my mind
i fly in my mind

Explaining Jimmy
02:41
|
|||
|
when i think about jimmy in my mind i think about a guy whose really lost it all
jimmy's just a british boy, a classic british boy
going from london to mallorca for a stag do
with all of his possessions in first class seating on BA flight 714
and himself in economy seating on a ryanair flight
don't touch my stuff
don't touch my stuff
jimmy said to the BA flight attendants
listen, i've just spent half an hour making sure all my possessions are perfectly strapped into these seats
don't mess with the seatbelts, don't offer them champagne
now i'm going to get on my ryanair flight leaving from gate 713
ah, mmm, gosh, yeah, i really like what you just did there
that was really good
um, it was really beautiful cause it was like
they weren't end rhymes that you did
they were middle rhymes
and you avoided using the word plane
you said ryanair flight
and that would have been a really obvious place to do a rhyme and you didn't do it which is very tickling and nice
don't touch my stuff
don't touch my stuff
[laugh] so good
what happens next?
what happens next?
what happens next?
what happens next?
what happens next?
alright i'll answer
jimmy arrives in mallorca
two hours, four hours, nine hours, twenty four hours after his possessions
his flight had been delayed
BA staff followed his orders
they didn't touch his stuff
don't touch my stuff
don't touch my stuff
so his possessions started their journey back to london
and what happens next?
well jimmy lost it all
he lost his mind
and this was the day that jimmy hijacked a plane
flew to the bermuda triangle
and was never seen again

Bermuda Triangle
05:12
|

|
ever since my stuff got lost
i've been trying to get it back
it's been two weeks and i'm done
i've just gotten packed
i'm never coming back
three corners are the places that i find myself
carroll deering tells me there's space for me on the shelf
boats get turned around
don't tell my mom
i hope i never get found, no i don't
i'd fly forever to see you, but it's faster to fall
who knew that i would get lost in the bermuda triangle
bright lights are flashing all through the sky
the cockpit springs push and like a bird a glide
it's a shame i had to leave
all my stuff left me
he don't wanna know
hides his problems
do you really wanna fall
what's your reason
would you give your mom a call
if you had to fly
should we stop
yeah
and they said i couldn't fly
and they said i couldn't fly
and they said i couldn't fly away
and they said i couldn't fly away

Oat Milk
02:11
|

|
i wanted you a long time ago
but you weren't around
i looked for your everywhere
in the supermarket in my town
you say that it's crazy that i love you the way i do
i'm secretly hoping no one else knows you're nutty and you're smooth
i've loved other milks before
but i think i love oat milk more
it's funny at twenty six
how my change in taste can be so drastic
i've loved other milks before
but i think i love oat milk more
i used to drink you for fun with coffee on sunday afternoon
now i think i'll try only drinking you
i've loved other milks before
but i think i love oat milk more
it's funny at twenty six
how my change in taste can be so drastic
i've loved other milks before
but i think i love oat milk more
after drinking a tall, cold glass of you
i realise i'm oat milk too

Dust Storm
01:58
|

|
i used to skateboard every day
i'd walk out my door and be on my way
i hate this dust storm and how it sends you away
i hate this dust storm and how it sends you away
oh i've got an idea
it comes in big clouds from a far away place
i'm not sure what the cause is or how it goes away
i hate this dust storm and how it sends you away
i hate this dust storm and how it sends you away
and thats why in 2009
australia banned all it's sand
bus prices rose by thirty cents
and the love of my life
left their boots in my flat
but took everything else
and left forever
two might find solace from a storm indoors
but it's what happens after that they should look out for

My Mom
04:22

how was it i knew that tonight you'd go all the way
was it asking to come over when we hung out yesterday
or dancing around something you can't bring yourself to say
my mom told me not to drive you home
i don't ever wanna feel alone
my mom told me not to drive you home
i don't ever wanna feel alone
buttonwillow fences and your dad
separate myself from what i had
i guess i should enjoy this while it lasts
i'm closing my front door on a single man
why'd you wait to talk this out until the carride home
sorry would you have preferred a break up on the phone
it's never to early to apologise you know
ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
shooba dooba dooba dooba dooba
ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
shooba dooba dooba dooba dooba
ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
shooba dooba dooba dooba dooba
ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
shooba dooba dooba dooba dooba
my mom told me not to drive you home
i don't ever wanna feel alone
my mom told me not to drive you home
i don't ever wanna feel alone
how do you know it's the right time to break up with someone
is it the way he's looking at you when he's not even trying
or the way she's always crying when things aren't even sad
is it how saying i love you feels like lying
or does your mind just know when things are really that bad
i first heard it through kitty, who heard it through jules
who heard it from some kid after school
i'm just kidding, you know i don't listen to those people
plus, i'm always with you
we do a lot together, my brother pointed it out
which i thought was true and kind of made me proud
even though I never did, i know you had doubts
i guess i've got some time and space to fill now

battery twenty percent
connected to the ocho
there are many ways in this world to die
i wonder how and when and why
will i meet the same fate as any of my friends
will i have the time to tie up loose ends
will the road be clean will the road be dirty
will my wife be mean will the world end early
oh god i cry to above
i pray it won't happen to the ones i love
oh god i'd like to know
will the angels swoop down for me when i go
oh shit, aw man
we put politics, religion and many things between us
we build these barriers to force an opinion
there is no us, there is no them
when every single human is fucked in the head
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
blah, blah, blah
oh god, can i get through to you
are you there, they just need a clue
for hope, for sanity
for a grasp on reality
but most importantly
for me

Wowsers trousers, this is absolute genius. Every song contains multitudes; cosy, unsettling, personal, piss-takingly good guitar parts, twinkling pianos... like all my favourite American bands from the last 50 years secretly gathered in someone's attic to record this, yet it's also quintessentially English and sounds like nothing/noone else.
