We Got Used To Us

More of a mantra than a song. I find singing it in times of stress to be most therapeutic.

Stick It Up Your Bum

Bonjour, mes amis, with the savoir faire
You know it’s time to say, Archie, “Bon Anniversaire!”
14 on the 14th, 14th of the 12th
Golden Boy’s got good reason to be pleased with himself
Earth can’t contain the expanse of his brain
Space is the place and he’d like to explain
You know it’s only rocket science, how hard can it be?
Let me take you on a journey with the boy Archie

Hey! Arch-ay! It’s your golden birthday!
If we try, we can understand it
A dream of Mars a day
Helps you work, rest and play
Take your mind to another planet

His mind’s a loaded weapon and it’s pointing at thee
Now he’s firing off facts indiscriminately
But there’s no doubt about the precision of his vision
(Just don’t get him started on the subject of religion)
Got no time for the rhyme of the primitive
A book of fairy tales full of shit that people never did?
Do something MORE, that’s Archie’s philosophy
Intergalactic planetary

Archie blue
I’d fly away with you
Won’t be fooled by anybody

We’re all in the gutter, but some look up at the stars
It’s a Wilde thought to have, but the boy will go far
He’s simply out of this world, we couldn’t be prouder
I’ll say it again, and again a bit louder
We’re heading up now to the end of the song
You know the chorus is next, so come on, sing along
Take a little breath, then let the whole place see
A universe of love for our boy Archie

Hey! Arch-ay! It’s your golden birthday!
If we try, we can understand it
A dream of Mars a day
Helps you work, rest and play
Take your mind to another planet

Words and music by James McAuley
A tribute to my son Archie's fascination with space on his 14th birthday

10 minutes and 23 seconds of Floyd blended as you've never quite heard before. This track started life in 2016 and is finally seeing the light of day.

Special thanks to Spareelbowskin for some invaluable sonic advice.

Peter Gabriel's Shock the Monkey is probably one of the most recognized tracks from his fourth solo album recorded between spring 1981 and summer 1982. This was one of the first tracks to use sampling technology utilizing the ground breaking Fairlight CMI and and other classic machines such as the Linn Drum and the Prophet 5 synth. You can hear these sounds throughout the sample pack.

"...people saw that as a sort of animal rights song, but it wasn't actually it was a song about jealousy."
