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
After 8 years of barely playing a single note and not recording any songs, I bought the cheapest guitar I could find, borrowed my 2 year old's moothie and wrote and recorded an album. This was the last song on it, for the rest of the band.
Lyrics
All my friends have disappeared I got stuck, they left me here Wandering around in a daze I found me working 9 to 5 And man it's good to be alive But only at the end of the day If I could have my time again Don't you know that I would have it all the same So this goes out to all my friends Thanks for the ride I had a blast along the way Now I'm married with a wife and kid The two best things I ever did And its funny but I'm still stuck in a daze Someday I'll catch up with you And maybe have a bbq Don't you know that it's gonna rain But if I could live my life again Don't you know that I would make the same mistakes So this goes out to all of you Thanks for the ride I hope you're fine and found your way I'm a slacker it is true I get too tired to call on you But nothing really happens anyway Money's tight so I can't get Talking on the internet The lottery just never goes my way But if I could just get high again I guess the situation wouldn't be so bad So I guess this is goodbye again Thanks for the ride you're the best friends I've ever had Although it's true you were the only friends I had It sounds depressing but in actual fact I'm glad
