Bowling Balls

The Last Hello

Never been to Birdland though I’m a big Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker fan. This track, however, is more about the Tweetie variety, they are such a delight, I love listening to their toons. If you have time, I urge you to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdIoL2YLu7Y . Ghislaine is such a talent, her photos and videos just capture the magic.
  
I’m on my way to Birdland
That’s where I wanna be
Modern day living so unforgiving 
It’s not a place for me

You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be

I just love their beaks
Their feets, their tweets
And they’re so reet petite
So why’re being so thoughtless
Turning up the heat
We’re the pest
Messing up the nest and…
You know the rest  
You know the rest
You know the rest 
  
You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be
Birdland’s the place to be 
Birdland’s the place to be

lyrics:

oh the unquantifiable weight...
the undeniable... wait...
oh irrefutable beauty
of mathematical poetry...

one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head
one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head

soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|

there's no indifference
or uncertainty...
we both know what we want
(can you feel it?)
can you feel the urgency?

one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head
one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head

soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|

Soon

LYRICS

Jumping in the water off the cliffs south of the harbour in the summertime
And chasing off the pigeons down the alleys behind kitchens in the town
And sometimes after school the kids that thought they're pretty cool would blag some cigs and wine
And everybody knows it, yeah it's here is where this s**t is, going down

Meetings in the park would go on way past after dark but nothing sinister
After lifting the odd freebie from the corner shop down New Street west of town
And riding bikes down big dipper out in the woods of ash and beech and silver birch
Cos everybody knows it, yeah it's here is where this s**t is going down

Everybody knows it, yeah everybody knows it
Everybody knows it, hell yeah everybody knows it
Everybody knows it, yeah it's here is where this s**t is going down
Cos everybody knows it, yeah it's here is where this s**t is going down
Yeah everybody knows it, yeah cos this is where this s**t is going down

Men of the weather station / Superhero EP

Going down (to be retitled)

Far away on a distant planet long since deserted by humans, a lone robot, Pedro, tirelessly carries out his chores keeping everything spotless and in good order. Looking up and imagining who or what else is still out there, he wonders, will the humans ever return?

Official release date: 22nd May 2020. Image in artwork by Michael Hodgkinson.

LYRICS

My name is 42916 but I am better known as Pedro
I only wish to serve, but then I'm hard coded to say so
May be due an upgrade but I'll patch this software update and reboot

Cos I was built to serve my masters, carry out their mundane chores
To free up time from all the things that make life such a bore
Keep everything pristine, looking flawless, oh so clean, good as new

Cos the lawns won't cut themselves
And the dust gathers on the shelves
Sunrise through sunset, list as long as all of pi's digits to be done

Yeah the brush won't sweep the floor
And the oil don't grease that door
Without my mechanised assistance
And the if elseif else statements that I run

And it seems a little futile now the humans have all gone
But what else left to do when I am programmed to go on

Well my only frame of reference is the feedback from my sensors
But I guess that's how we all work, we're just wires and transducers
Our mode of operation is a function of our memory

But I'm damned if I know where they went, they were here and now they're gone
And though there's no more humans, I am programmed to go on,
Ticking over just like clockwork, running ship shape, plough ahead full steam

Cos the lawns won't cut themselves
And the dust gathers on the shelves
Sunrise through sunset, list as long as all of pi's digits to be done

Yeah the coffee pot won't brew
But there's no job I cannot do
With my built in sheer persistence
And the while true loop sequence I'm stuck on

Oh, oh here's what I was wondering
Is there anything that's happening
Way out there
Beyond, far beyond what my antennas see
Is there anyone other than me
Somewhere out there

Programmed to go on
