R.O.Y. was once described by the Nose as being almost as kickass as that time I did your mom.
Formed as a response to sheer boredom, the experimental-comedy duo R.O.Y. were originally in no way serious about this project. However, following a platinum album (The Tyna Turner Overload), a splendiforous tour of North America, and a triple law suit, it is clear their intentions have changed. The two sole members, Sonic McFlurry and the Nose, have been given the "Hyperactive Ten" and cited as "musical and comedic masterminds, the voices of a new, jackass generation...simply amazing!" After a long hiatus following various financial problems with R.O.Y.'s own record label, While My Walrus Gently Weeps Records, R.O.Y. has returned to finish their long awaited sophmore effort, Plaster Lincolns and the Lauren Effect. Soon after we will be putting together the highly anticipated boxset, R.O.Y.:The First Four Years! The set will include both of the first two albums including altenate versions of songs, outtakes, interviews, and Rarities. The set will also include the songs R.O.Y. released under the Bleedin Gums banner. (During a stay in Britain R.O.Y. played daily at both the Bexley Heath and Brinsley Schwartz Pubs. They performed under the title "The Bleedin Gums", with both band members adopting the name Mick Jones. During this stay they also record an EP, "Foreigner Sucks", as the Bleedin Gums at the legendary Wabbley Road Studios.

Story behind the song
After listening to "Document" the Nose finally came up with a guitar part that sounded like R.E.M. Sonic McFlurry attempted to play an ocarina before realizing that it played only one note. One shitty note.
Lyrics
Looking at clowns through A window at the pier The windex scapegoat Translates the sea Little boy throws himself into the river Just to say hi to the bottom The mermaid people came and fed him snausages and candycanes Chrous: Automatic (For the People) x2 Salsbury marmalade streetsigns stare at me Footsteps like a heartbeat, baby, and a goat on parade That's me at the suana Splitjabbing the cop in the bag I've been bogged but it ain't the sun that blots out my chest Chorus Cellophane lilacs The midnight sun Said too much and now its done I sank my teeth into the world and it tasted like chicken The rendezvous with Jesus Has awakened me to forget Chorus x2
