Artist picture
Low-fi acoustic indie psychedelic folk motown music for your fragile mind.
The Wheelies are in trouble. They cant play their instruments properly. They are so wasted they are incapable of operating even the most basic recording equipment. They are too paranoid to play live. They cant find a Ringo that fits. Their singer keeps jumping out of trees in his pants and quitting the band. Their lead guitarist has developed a phobia of guitars. Their bassist is incapacitated with a serious case of sand in his eye. Moppy is possessed and lost in transit. They have a band member who doesnt even know he is a band member. Bob Dylan wont return their phone calls. In a nutshell, they are totally fucked. All thats left for you to do is sook the bools, find a comfortable position far enough away from the fall-out zone, and listen while the whole thing falls spectacularly to pieces.

Story behind the song
Sometimes song ideas come out of nowhere I guess.
Lyrics
Strange stuff happens when your back is turned When you're off your toes your fingers burn And when they burn oh all you touch just seems to catch on fire And I know it sounds weird but I swear its true Let's try and keep this between me and you I was staring out the window sad and blue like my brain was held up with wires A lightbulb farted I fell face down on the floor I kept hearing all these voices That I tried to ignore And after a few minutes well I couldn't take no more I said "I'll give it everything I've got" On the day that I played God Things were about to get a lot worse My tongue was tied and my eyes were cursed Kepy seeing all these people pouring into church A-weeping on their knees Saying "Small, Smally help me please Give me something to feel at ease" I tried to help but I think I sneezed And started a third world war They were looting and a-robbing Up and down my street I tried to stand up But I couldn't find my feet I wanted to say something But I'd forgotten how to speak I guess I wouldn't have said a lot On the day that I played God Oh hallelujah baby I've had a brainwave I'm gonna crumple up everything into a paper ball Throw it at the bin and maybe try and start on over And then turn my attention to building us a beautiful world So I crumpled up the universe in my hand It fell away like dust and sand I woke to the sound of a marching band blowing past me on the beach The devil was blowing an old conch shell Saying "Roll up everybody this way to hell" I had nothing to do so I thought alright I guess I might I might as well I joined a line that ran for miles Patiently waited in a sea of smiles I was full of good intentions At least for a little while But I never done a lot On the day that that I played God Oh hallelujah baby I'm glad its over Well I tried my best but you know that's never good enough And though I don't believe in God well I hope that he enjoyed his day off From the impossible dream of building us a beautiful world
