Artist picture
Melodramatic electroclash with a few Keith Emerson solos thrown in
VOSTOK LAKE is an exponent of "portable techno-folk for the 21st century" hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. VOSTOK LAKE is a culturally revolutionary organisation aiming to supersede and replace guitar-based rock music altogether. VOSTOK LAKE's musical style is a careful balance of 80's-style beats, prog-rock inspired keyboard pyrotechnics and carefully crafted lyrical hand-grenades. Some songs deal with contemporary politics. Others tell stories of angst, comedy and high weirdness. Kelkaj estas en la internacia lingvo Esperanto.

Story behind the song
This song is a WORK OF FICTION. I have had sex QUITE A FEW TIMES over the last decade. Seriously, this is my rather odd attempt at writing a "torch song". Noel Coward I ain't, but never mind.
Lyrics
I haven’t had sex in a decade I haven’t got off in so long The act was incredibly messy The partners I chose were incredibly wrong I can’t tolerate the gymastics I’m asked to perform in the sack I bought seven inches of plastic The Adult shop won’t take it back The bars are all full of those people who’re cool - Or at least think they are - everywhere I’d rather stay in with my internet friends Than wash someone's grease out of my hair And if you get tired of the penis And go out to eat at the Y Be ready to talk about feelings all night And the Indigo Girls till you die I haven’t had sex in a decade Like nuns in the bad days of old I will start to hallucinate Jesus And see if he’ll do what he’s told The celibate life, or becoming a wife These things I have never considered I can’t understand it, I’d lower my standards If I had the damn things to begin with I haven’t had sex in a decade Except that one time in July But that was the fault of the absinthe And a very suggestible guy I jog and I cycle for hours Or else I get tense as a spring - If I don’t find the energy Don’t let it get to me I’ll never have sex Cause it’s just too complex And then I’d have nothing to sing.
