What's a poor robot to do
When all the other robots don't know what to do
What's a poor robot to do
When all the other robots haven't got a clue
What's a poor robot to do
When all the other robots seem to be so blue
What's a poor robot to do
Did our parents say exactly why they made us
Did they leave a note
Why did all the humans have to go and leave us
Goodbye was all they wrote
Maybe I can get a job in a factory
Or get myself some rust proofing so I can go surfing
Maybe I can take a chance on the opposite
Or I can take a class on robot cursing
It's a robot life
All around the globe
A robot life
For everyone I know
Check the memory banks
Search the data clouds
Find some clear directions to removing robot frowns
Check the memory banks

Count On Me
04:21

When times are tough
When the seas get rough
When you've got some stuff
To work through
When things go wrong
When you don't belong
When ev-ery song
Makes you blue
You can
Count on me, love
Count on me love
Count on me, love
Count on me love
It’s true
It here for you
When you feel ashamed
When the colours all fade
When it’s pouring rain
Down on you
When you're flat on your back
When the decks are all stacked
When your own wolf pack
Howls a sad tune
Count on me, love
Count on me
Count on me, love
Count on me
(Bridge)
I will give you shelter
Against the helter skelter
Shield you from the storm
Dry you off and keep you warm
When the cupboard's bare
When no one seems to care
When all the wear and tear
Breaks you down
If you lose your shirt
If you're left in the dirt
In a world of hurt
I'll be round
Count on me, love
Count on me
Count on me, love
Count on me

Monkey Me And Monkey You
03:43
|

That monkey on my shoulder created such a fuss
Never did learn to talk but man it sure could cuss
We were a meme the cream of the crop
Flung like a stone from a rocket catapult
See, me and my monkey we were tight as a fist
Everywhere we went was strictly A-list
Texted with the President and lunched with a Beatle
Rolling out the capers we was heros of the people
But what's high on a pedestal must get torn down
Maybe ask Jesus how he liked that thorny crown
High in the stratosphere when the bubble burst
Our flavour out of favour or maybe something worse
Monkey see oh monkey do
Monkey me and monkey you
Monkey see oh monkey do
Monkey me and monkey you
We all wanna be
The ones on the screen
Even if it's just
My monkey and me
Yes we all wanna be
The ones on our screens
Even if it's just
Me and my monkey
That monkey on my shoulder created such a fuss
Never did learn to talk but man it sure could cuss
We were a meme the cream of the crop
Flung like a stone from a rocket catapult
Monkey see oh monkey do
Monkey me and monkey you
Monkey see oh monkey do
Monkey me and monkey you

Flicking through the channels
Digging through the dirt
Eating beans from the pot
Wipes a stain from his shirt
He's something of a hermit
Lives a solitary life
Charlie muddles through
Never chanced a wife
Everyone excited
When the fair came to town
He stood off to the side
When the rides came around
Now the sun is waning
Stars in the sky
Flicking through the channels
Tears in his eyes
Jesse checks the mirror
Fusses with her hair
Stares at all the lines
Sighs with despair
As she does her makeup
Black tear on her cheek
Leans against the sink
And lets her memories leak
Her skin was ivory
Men vied for her charms
She fell in love with their gaze
Never in their arms
I wish I'd had a family
Confessing once again
Gets a pat on the hand
At least she's got a friend
But now the sun is waning
The stars in the sky
She's flicking through the channels
Tears in her eyes
Flicking through the channels
Flicking through the channels

Summer Blue Winter Green

summer blue
winter green
here I am
in between
Late night phone calls patched in from the moon
whispers from the future bleeding through
Light and shadows dancing on the screen
All the players acting out their scenes
all things in life
leave their mark
we hide ours best we can
in the dark
winter green
summer blue
All the words lead me
Back to you
Nothing makes you sadder
We both know
Than the sight of freshly fallen snow
But when you smile you can light up the day
Such a shame that smile has gone away
all things in life
will leave their mark
we hide them well here
in the dark
summer blue
winter green
never the season for
what might have been
Late night phone calls patched in from the moon
whispers from the future bleeding through
Light and shadows dancing on the screen
We're just players acting out their scenes
all things in life
will leave their mark
we hide them well here
in the dark

The Arrest

Stop!
Don't move
It's impossible
With this groove
I said freeze!
Hands in the air
Where I can see em
Don't you dare
Halt!
Those dancing crimes
You shake that thang
You do the time
Now drop your weapon
On the floor
Oh don't be cute
You know the score
I said spread 'em
I'll pat you down
I think it's time
We go downtown
You're most wanted
On the list
I made the collar
So don't resist
Halt!
Those dancing crimes
You shake that thing
You do the time
Shake it!
Exactly how'd
You get my cuffs
Now that's not fair
Enough's enough
Oh looky here
At what I found
That's evidence
Down on the ground

George had a dream
George had a wish
Georgie wanted gills
To swim like a fish
|Jeannie sprouted wings
Now she was a fairy
But she wouldn't fly
Cause it was too scary
Bottled evolution
It comes in a pill
Bottled evolution
Baby it's a thrill
Newcomb wanted eyes
In the back of his head
Now he sees what's going on
Spends his days in his bed
Bottled evolution
It comes in a pill
Bottled evolution
Baby it's a thrill
You don't know what to do
Bout all this twiddle twaddle
You don't know what to do
Up the creek without a paddle
Lacy's in a cocoon
Been there for a month
Mom wants a butterfly
But she has her doubts
Bottled evolution
It comes in a pill
Bottled evolution
Baby it's a thrill

Resentful Robots
02:42

Some of us are round
Some of us are small
Some are tall as towers
Others built to brawl
Russia's got the pinkies
The Kiwis are the greens
The yanks are reds and blues
And Japan's are sex machines
We are changing
We are changing
We are changing
We are changing
Antennaes dangle here and there
Amongst the chatterboxes
Some of us slink along
Most of us are gossips
Some of us have manners
Others are abrupt
A few of us like to laugh
Most of us shut it up
We're every shape and size
We're every hue and colour
Found in every kitchen
Dwell in every cellar
Found in all the crannies
Lurking in the cellars
We are changing
We are changing
We are changing
We are changing
I was born without a father
I was born without a mom
I am different from you others
There's a storm before the calm

No Drinks No Powders
03:22

It's raining
And it's nightime
And the steady pitter patter rhythm
Tattoos a pattern on the window pane
And in my brain
And I wonder how my train
Veered so wildly off the track
Why my life is full film noir
Why the deck's been stacked
The cats
In the alley
Now screeching madly at the moon
I join them gladly
Crazed at my rage
Entombed in my gloom
There are no drinks
There are no powders
No tonic for this pain
There is no theory
to pause the dreary
misery of this shame
I need love like the earth
Needs the rain
I crave your touch
Like a bloom needs the rays
Oh my sweet melancholy
Shall we call this
A date?
Wrap me in your sad embrace
More than a trace of winter blues
Those tristed hues
Cupid's arrows have been borrowed
dipped in sorrow
Now fired deep into my heart
This wellspring of sadness overflows
As you well know
Flooding me from tip to toe

Moon Walk

Moon talk
Moon walk
Moon talk
Moon walk
Radio silence
Settles on the moon
No more dispatches
In this barren gloom
Moon talk
Moon walk
Moon talk
Moon walk
Stare at all the craters
Strewn across the moon
A scarred battlefield
Where we are entombed
Static static everywhere
Across the frequencies
No signal coming through
No signs of life are seen

Lazy Robot

'm a lazy robot
Guess you should have bought that warranty
I never do much of nothing
Spend time on the couch watching RTV
I'm a lazy robot
Love to lounge around in the nude
I'm very well packaged
I've got a laid back attitude
I'm a hipster robot
Oooooh, play me some of that robot jazz
Perhaps you'd like a little toot
As we do our little robot dance
Clean it up fix it up
Run the endless errands
Work work work work 24-7
Clean it up, fix it up
Run the endless errands
Work work work work work until it's robot heaven
