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.

Lyrics
I resolved to jump from the 17th floor I couldn't live with myself no more And as I fell the world began to shine And it echoed in my mind Flowing out from far inside And I saw that I'd been shining all my life I closed my eyes and ceased to be While my body landed in a tree Tangled up in branches leafed with broken dreams That I dreamt when I was young In the belly of a sun And I saw that I'd been hung up there all along In a while an ambulance arrived Came with the sound of ice cream chimes They quickly fixed my head but they couldn't find my mind It was shining in the sky With the ghosts I left behind Standing smiling in a neverending line
