Kat Scoleri This is one of the few times I will sit and loop a whole album and not want to press skip. It's addictive to listen to. Favorite track: Surreal.

Ultimatum 03:55
lyrics

The first alien abduction Will be way north in the ocean We’ll steal all the ice we can And start the beer production The next generation Will drink their future millions Melted ice in cans of beer Nice start for an alien invasion ultimatum, ultimatum you won’t survive if you don’t stand by our side If we were to give you the chance to Would you come with us Alien abduction If ever you tell someone about us aliens They’ll think you’re sick or crazy They’ll start spreading the word that there’s something wrong with you And no one knows that we are creeping on them they’ll start polluting, hustling trying to get the best The BEST out of life It’s us that made you what you are, that made you what you are it’s too late You’re an alien now You are aliens now We will take control ultimatum, ultimatum you won’t survive if you don’t stand by our side The next intervention Will be through the television Yellow white wires to your mind Propaganda, propagation Practicing procrastination On the night of the infestation you’ll be on your tiny screens you’ll hear us scream We come from the underground scene We will take contrôle We are aliens now We will take control

Keep Your Daily Job 03:01

Mister Creative was minding his own business that morning when he got a call from work -Hey! Where are you? You were supposed to clock in at eight… Oh not today, I don’t feel that well He hung up and kept on playing Hung up and kept on playing Keep your daily job You got to keep calm, keep your daily job Keep your daily job You got to keep calm, keep your daily job And the next paycheck won’t cover his expenses He’ll be hustlin’ But it had to be done He didn’t quite have the time to put down the tune that’d been stuck in his head He hung up and kept on playing Hung up and kept on playing Keep your daily job You got to keep calm, keep your daily job And everyone knows better and all of them will tell you You got to keep calm, keep your daily job

Renata Stings 03:32
lyrics

Under the bridge A wooden one Way too close to the train tracks Was the youth carrying plastic guns Hanging upside down Head above the ground Way too close to the train tracks Was the youth of the rising sun 15 years have passed since the rise of the depression of the youth The taste of addiction lingers on your tongue She’s amongst you Tattooed on your brain, in your eyes in your veins, so Sink your teeth in deep Sink your teeth in deep -Baptise the needle On the limb To humour the sin Our medicine My old friends sing Renata, Renata Pay tribute to Renata, Renata Pay tribute to Renata Stings In the thrill and heat Under the bridge A wooden one Way too close to the train tracks Was the youth doing plastic drugs We’ve all had that moment of weakness when we needed that someone the most, and if you haven’t, you will soon enough. When everyday makes you feel like a ghost ‘till sun down, ‘till sun down please hang around.. And HE or SHE will stand by you then you’ll think WOW I finally found someone who cares, but it’s not true, they’re all the way confused with themselves as well. They’ll inflict you pain, inflict you pain has a momentary response, cause all they are ‘re fireworks, beautiful at first until they burst and fade away Under the bridge A wooden one Way too close to train tracks Was the girl on a plastic run Under the brigde A wooden one We found her close to the train tracks We found her close to the train tracks

Here’s a few advice From a well-known liar Always have the same shirt on You can wear more than one People, purple is the key color For a nuclear armor Words from a well-know homeless liar He hit his head on the ground, he said He changed his name for Rainbow Man Reminding everyone That it has to rain from times to times For the sun To shine on Us So everyone can keep on Enjoyin’ it. Enjoy it Rainbow man, reminding everyone That it’s not such a bad world after all Here’s a few advice To prevent the war Carry a bag of candy Says the lunatic with a smile Add some water Use the candy color And draw this perfect world On the side walk To make people feel better He hit his head on the ground, he said He changed his name for Rainbow Man Reminding everyone That it has to rain from times to times For the sun To shine on Us So everyone can keep on Enjoyin’ it. Enjoy it Rainbow man, reminding everyone That it’s not such a bad world after all Here’s a few advice from a dying man Happiness is in your head In your head we never even heard of him again Rainbow Man Reminded everyone That it’s not such a bad world after all

Yellow lion eyes and bones Little Amy Jones Leaning on yard side fence Sipping on a coke glass bottle Waiting for the sun to dry She just learned her dad has died Young and wise Young and wise Watching the factory men Pretending he's one of them Young and wise Young and wise The workers knows she won’t leave ‘Till she gets a job or a second bottle *and this is what they said Whistle the work song Missy Jones Whistle the work song ‘Till the day is done Whistle the work song For Mister Jones Whistle the work song for Modern slavery Young and wise Young and wise Welcome to the bottom of the food chain Ladies & gentleman, please be welcome To the bottom of the food chain Whistle the work song Missy Jones Whistle the work song ‘Till the day is done Whistle the work song For Mister Jones Whistle the work song for Modern slavery

Slingshot Blues 05:12

She hugged me, smiled and left Saying that the next stop is closer to my place Times have changed, said the nightshift driver In my days, I would've made it to her door, at least I know, I'm fucked pretty and it feels like a cheap script Oh girl, the girl is taken, I said Wiseman, Jazzman, this is called the Slingshot Blues She got me in the eye and I keep The pebbles in my shoes The girl is taken, I said His silence says it all, I'd be better off running But it’s hard to run with a painful passion He wishes me a goodnight and leaves me in the desert of the Montreal cold I'm a little high and here I am texting her, what just happened, and I know I know I'm fucked pretty and it feels like a cheap script Oh girl, the girl is taken, I said Wiseman, Jazzman, this is called the Slingshot Blues She got me in the eye and I keep The pebbles in my shoes The girl is taken I said I made it home alive, after a twenty-minute walk of Beatles songs, shouting And made sure to wake the neighbourhood up and I'm smiling ‘Cause I'll get to see her face tomorrow and I know I know I'm fucked pretty and it feels like a cheap script Oh girl, the girl is taken, I said Wiseman, Jazzman, this is called the Slingshot Blues She got me in the eye and I keep The pebbles in my shoes Wiseman, Jazzman, this is called the Slingshot Blues She got me in the eye and I keep The pebbles in my shoes

Surreal 02:44

I don’t want to be a bad example here, but I’m calling sick To spend that time that I don’t have to be with you Hey hey hey, I’ve had it, I Don’t care what people say You don’t care about what I say Death silence or laughter Life’s surreal, life’s surreal So let me do my thing and make everybody dance You just have to leave This wasted world behind Life surreal And everybody Dance You just have to leave This wasted world behind Life Surreal So just free your mind You just have to leave This wasted world behind Life Surreal So just free your mind Roaming around in my own apartment Like a monkey in a cage, life’s a maze, it amazes me I know the key and the way out is my own rage So I keep the old luggage ready Going up, turn it down, to the beat, to the sound Going round & around to the sound of music Let’s bring our sex to the ground on a blanket Fun ride on a magic carpet You just have to leave This wasted world behind Life Surreal So just free your mind You just have to leave This wasted world behind Life Surreal So just free your mind You just have to leave This wasted world behind Life Surreal So just free your mind You just have to leave This wasted world behind Life Surreal So just free your mind O.K. I don’t want to be a bad example here, but I’m calling sick To spend that time that I don’t have to be with you Hey hey hey, I’ve had it, I Don’t care what people say You don’t care about what I say Death silence or laughter Life’s surreal, life’s surreal So let me do my thing and make everybody dance Young love, ten years of footsteps we’ve made in alternate directions Nothing but a distant spark, the smallest star you can depict with a telescope Pas de pause, pas de froid, another week’s done J’en ai mal au coeur du stress, de la peur, je sais pas Rien de mieux à faire Life’s Surreal And everybody dance

In a no man's land your ears go numb Earth is jaded of our footsteps We reached a silent era Philosophers are out of words We did wrong To slow down the eventuality To slow it down wee We keep peace in mind Let’s keep peace in mind I'd like to dedicate this song to the dinosaurs I wonder if they had any Expectations for their after life A better version of earth with Saturated forest and colors We won’t need no meteor storm to get there We'll finish up the job, we'll make it on our own I'd like to sympathize with the dinosaurs We will see you soon see you soon We did wrong To slow down the eventuality To slow it down wee We keep peace in mind Let’s keep peace in mind
