I wanted to buy some flowers I was waiting in the queue for hours and hours and hours and I bought a garden fork for forking The woman in the front was just talking and talking and talking and talking and Being in a queue in B&Q... Create masturbation in a world of no sex Defend yourself using only reflex Avoid rehab at all costs Find yourself before you get lost Don't be afraid to keep what you find And never lay a finger on my one tracked mind Coz after all what's life without pleasure? It's like a pirate who's go no treasure! Catch the words that jump off the page They mark the date, the coming of age Don't calm the fire, just watch the flames burn Sit right back and watch the world turn And when the world turns into a hen Just fry the eggs, start turning again When it's your turn to do something new You're stuck in a queue inside B&Q

Everytime I get on that Number 8 bus and I see that Oyster Card Reader I just wanna take off all my clothes and forget the driver can see ya It makes a beep noise when it takes my money and it has a yellow bit I just wanna make like an Oyster Card and make sweet love with it I know it's for my Oyster card But I can't help it, it makes me hard I don't want to kick up a fuss So please don't kick me off of your bus Oysters are the food of love! Swipe your Oyster from above! On a train or on undt bus! Fuck your Oysters just like us! They caught me dry humping an Oyster Card Reader on their CCTV screen They took me to the station, asked me lot's of questions, said I was too obscene I told them how it is, I told them how it was, They told me I was sick But next time I got on that Number 8 bus it were them who were humping it I know it's for my Oyster card But I can't help it, it makes me hard I don't want to kick up a fuss So please don't kick me off of your bus I know it's for my Oyster card But I can't help it, it makes me hard I don't want to kick up a fuss So please don't kick me off of your bus

Crocs can't stick out their tongues Ostriches piss on their legs Oysters can climb up trees Octopuses blood is blueish green Save the blue giraffes (From the snow) They find it hard to laugh (In the cold) They don't really know (Where to go) They're all on death row (They're gonna die!) A pig's snout is a gruntle Penguins orgasm once a year The moose in Alaska are sober There's a guppy in the final frontier Save the blue giraffes (From the snow) They find it hard to laugh (In the cold) They don't really know (Where to go) They're all on death row (They're gonna die!) Save the blue giraffes (From the snow) They find it hard to laugh (In the cold) They don't really know (Where to go) They're all on death row (They're gonna die!)

Incident II 02:45
A long time ago before you and me There was a galactic confederacy It was ruled over by this guy called Xenu And what income taxes were only he knew He took us all up in his big fat space plane That's why we're going insane That's just the start of Xenu's peoples fates He took em all up in big DC8's He put em in volcanos and blew em all to hell That made sure that no one would tell He took us all up in his big fat space plane That's why we're going insane He took em to the cinema and told em loads of lies About Jesus Christ and some other guys Then those poor spirits, they'd been treated kinda bad They found us and possessed us and that why we're sad He took us all up in his big fat space plane That's why we're going insane

Well, we were sitting in that bar having ourselves a time When that cowboy came in, he disrupted that time We were sitting in that bar drinking ourselves some whiskey When that cowboy came in he was acting kinda frisky He came in looking kinda weird He was all dressed in purple and he had a sticky beard He went up to the bar asked for something to drink The barman said, "What do you want?". He said "What do you think?" He said, Ribena! So the barman says "Get out son! We don't serve your type here!" Cowboy says "I don't want trouble, I don't want no beer! "I just want some purple juice in my mouth "What is this anyway? You don't serve Ribena in the south?!" He said, Ribena!

Let the path follow you And the doors let you through I could try so can you Just wait a while and then go With samurai & fiddlesticks Build your house and sleep in it Live until your 66 Wait a while and then go If you don't go in the tiger's cave, You won't catch it's cub Just think about it Make mistakes before you reach the grave Even a monkey plummets from trees somedays Spilt water won't return to the tray And a frog in a well doesn't know the great sea Let the path follow you And the doors let you through I could try so can you Just wait a while and then go With samurai & fiddlesticks Build your house and sleep in it Live until your 66 Wait a while and then go With samurai & fiddlesticks Let's take it home You've gotta go You can't go far But you can't stay You've gotta go So go away Just go away Just go away Let the path follow you And the doors let you through I could try so can you Just wait a while and then go With samurai & fiddlesticks Build your house and sleep in it Live until your 66 Wait a while and then go Sellotape your scissors to a heron It's about as pointless as a bag of baked crisps Make a bowl so you can put your pear on For a hungry mouth and a hungry mind Do you remember Pachelbel's Cannon? It feels so good that I can't complain Drinking water ten tonnes a gallon I'll never need another never need another never need another drink

about

Why did the album never get released?

Well, we were going to a press conference in Iceland where our core audience is (obviously) and we were planning on finishing the album in the hotel when suddenly arctic wolves burst in and as we were expecting room service we didn't notice that Sanjay's laptop had fallen in to the hand of the leader of the pack, which was particularly peculiar as he was a wolf and didn't have any hand and shouldn't really be interested in a laptop. By the time we noticed what was happening the wolves were long gone with the laptop and the only copy of the album. As we all know arctic wolves feed on blue giraffe meat and the tears of the ancients so we went to the closest patch of snow and used the secret whistle, summoning a blue giraffe from the heavens. Unfortunately, the giraffe we summoned had been dead for weeks and stank of fermented artichoke. This clearly wasn't going to attract the wolves and by this point we knew the wolves would be deleting bits of the tracks for their own sick pleasure.
A small vietnamese man gave us the heads up that the wolves may have gone to the Forklands, so we head off to track them down. (Haha "track" - geddit?)
On arrival, we were afronted by a fork in the road. Imagine the cruel irony. Actually, don't. It'll kill your head.
Anyway the fork had 3 paths. So we... Well, I wouldn't say split up, but we went on a hiatus as we pursued different interests. I mean paths.
Kay took the Gay Mud Sign path, which was so messy that even Rory the Violin God didn't dare ask "How Clean Is Your Arse?"
Sanjay on the other hand was having a massive fight with a Happy Man who told him how retarded slap bass is before brutally murdering a Crocodile infront of his very eyes.
We all know what path Jimmy took of course, as he is now in prison for crimes against cows. Jimmy became involved with a harmonica dealer in hail and ended up busting out to tour the island of Bali with a tropical goth band.
Meanwhile, Sanjay was escaping from the Happy Man with no more than a few scratches, a fear of reptillians and social disorder. He put on a bee-keeping suit and ran heroically after Kay to save him from THE MAN. THE MAN was a spirit of destruction incarnate in 2 human forms. One was a curly haired Australian. The other was Leon, Lord of Time. While possessing Leon's body, the spirit of destruction used his power over time to put a black veil of longness over any project started before the year 2010.
Sanjay summoned the sword of 'nag' which he did smite THE MAN with, releasing Leon from his hold. It was then that Jimmy returned to Iceland in the hope of finding an Inuit elder named Dracula. Dracula, the handle-barred elder cast a spell to bring back the lost album in return for 5 duckets and the chance to sing personally on one of the tracks. This was allowed.
After saving Kay, and all of time and space, Sanjay settled down with his Canadian girlfriend (a comedienne with a taste for whiskey and bacon). He spent 50 years this way, until a dream about Real Life reminded him of the unfinished album. Jimmy came to Sanjay's house and shared the secret of Dracula, the hairy elder. Thus, the album was finally finished with the help of Clem, the God of Pro-Creativity. Amen.

about

Temporarily Blank London, UK

Once upon a mushroom a Puffa Fish named Kay met a Talking Nail Bomb called Sanjay. They talked in a strange language that no- one seemed to understand, especially themselves.

One fateful lunchtime, a Jimmy strolled up to them purposefully and said "POD - DEHH". Kay and Sanjay told Jimmy to pretend he is an amputee for the rest of his immortal life. Then they told him to play some drums for them.
