A guitar/bass riff driven tune. Chuck in keyboards and some daft bits!

I had my first 4 track cassette recorder when I was 16 and I've still got most of the recordings, but you won't find those here! Some funny, some stupid, some ok bits, lots of rubbish! 30 years later I'm still writing and recording my own stuff - drum machine, bass, guitars and keyboards - (which I'm learning). Soundclick is breathing a bit of new life into my music - it's giving me an outlet, a meeting space, a place of inspiration. I hope that in the coming year, there will be some collaborations and swapping of music, thoughts and ideas. I do seem, however, to be spending an awful lot of time at this computer.........

Story behind the song
Do you feel like a slave to technology? Can't tie your shoelaces without booting up? Swimming in a sea of gadgets you can't do without? Yeah, welcome to my world!! This song eventuated out of some conversations with Danny Horton (aka Deadwater Monk)
Lyrics
I wanna press a button to mow my grass I need some automation to wipe my ass I wanna leave a message but I'm on hold 'cos everything's on Ebay and it's been SOLD! to the man with the incredibly large brain I can't help it I can't do without it I can't fight it 'cos tech's gonna take my soul take my soul I need a GPS to find my way I used to use a map but that was yesterday If you haven't got an email, well that's a sin You can send your prayers to heaven on 03 96 74 89 3 I'm sorry, all our operators are currently busy Your call is important to us You have been placed in a que To listen press 1 I need to press a button to nuke my food I've got a solar panel to power my home I have to be home early to watch tv I'm up to my ass in technology

Automation to wipe your ass? Hadn't heard of that yet. I always thought that was the wifes job. Just joking of course. Or am I? Thanks for the great song. Really enjoyed it.
