Fun Facts:
* The Percolator was initally composed by Dave and modified into a Flicker tune by George.
* Dave took George’s Stratocaster home to give it some TLC, and when he brought it back, this crazy tune had sprung forth from it into his hands.
* It seems to be about the vague imaginings one might have that manifest into more coherent thought after musing has occured.
* This may be nonsense though – Dave composed it initially and maybe it was just some tune.
* The time signature is very variable, so Flicker set the metronome to record in 1/8 at 150 BPM.
* This meant it had an insane amount of bars on the sequencer.
* This resulted in comments like “Let’s go back to bar 2340 and try from there” – quite impressive for the shortest piece on the album!
* It can be thought of as being largely in a slow eleven time, with the odd bar of six after the Em9.
* It’s easiest to count ||: 1-2-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3- :||
* Emma’s flute towards the end represents the steam when boiling takes place.
* The brutality of the djembe doing the bass drum is important.
* George said that the melody seemed quite obvious once he’d understood the chords properly.
* George composed and scored the flute part for Emma after his guitar melody materialised.
* Scoring the part for Emma using pencil and paper was the first time George had had to use music score in a real-life situation for years.
* This piece is in D minor, although the C minor adds a cunning twist.
* One of the keys to unlocking the rhythm of the piece is to follow the cowbell.
* It plays on every other beat, so sometimes it is on the beat and sometimes off.
* More cowbell!

Entities
I was born kicking.
This crescent scar still branding me.
A reminder of all that’s been.
A reminder of mortality.
Salt-water entities, all the armies of all of the seas.
Salt-water entities, all the atoms of all of the seas.

I can wait and I can float,
‘Til the girls come swimming by, proud as pretty pearls.
Cell servitude, forever doomed to be
Forever on the land and never of the sea.
This rock is mine, for me to watch the waves,
To be singing my lament to the dead men in their graves.

I was born kicking.
This crescent scar on me.
All the armies of the oceans.
All the atoms in the sea.
