about

originally recorded 5th Feb 2011, although some of the lyrics pre-date that and had been sitting around in my google documents for... forever, I think.

remixed 4th June 2012.

lyrics

I was gonna get up but why bother when my car refuses to hover and nobody will be going to work in gravity tubes?
and I’d go back to sleep but I think my imagination is on the blink and I’d dream of a world where food is served in cubes

they promised we’d have phones in our watches by now and we’d all live in domes on the moon
but instead we all tell the time on our phones and we won’t be moving into space any time soon

because the future’s disappointing... or is it just me?

so I drive into work, singing along to a shiny disc, full of songs, some of which were pulled straight out of the air
because my computing machine has a wireless stream
to every song I could ever want to hear
the phone in my pocket is now a computer as well; it can take photographs and check my mail
and in the rare event that I think of something funny to say, informing the whole world is only a few clicks away

so is the future disappointing... or is it just me?
