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 the original version was eaten by Star Jones R.O.Y. recreated this epic, with the Nose mumbling away on lead vocals. The lyrics were relatively easy to make, the band went for R.E.M. except without any of the meaning, thus nailing Pearl Jam.
Lyrics
Eyelashes of your wall Drifting through the garden People shouting on the street Lightning bolt chicken for me to eat Climbing mountains Angels on top Sucking through the dirt And I ask myself Chorus: What the fuck am I saying? Dirt and Angels x4 A girl sits alone now Trapped in the pickup of her abandon Loneliness across her ankles And the socks of her generation Flaming mountains Angels above Dispersing with the dirt And I say to myself Chorus And Jesus told me Don't you hit that flying moose But I screamed Am I not his son? Chorus x2
