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
Was spending too much time on MySpace looking at kids trying to out-miserable each other, and supposedly hetero guys citing Justin Timberlake as one of their favourite artists. Also I'd been feeling like I was about to have a heart attack for a couple of weeks. Hence this song.
Lyrics
I think the world is fucked little baby I think the world is fucked little baby The strings of everything are so tangled today They can never be untied And if the world is fucked little baby And we've been running on luck little baby Let's blow up like roman candles blazing Right across the sky I hope I'm wrong and this song is sorry and mistaken I tried to keep it in but my heart just won't stop breaking Hope it don't detract from the fact that we should keep making love Even if the world is fucked And stumble on into infinity Just like dinosaurs left strung out in a dream Or photographs spinning in a breeze Get blown into the 22nd century Yesterday the sun was up and everyone was shining Now I'm caked in suncream and I'm thinking about climate change and all that other stuff I'm finding really hard to ignore And here comes the next world war I think my head might be fucked little baby I think my head might be fucked little baby All the strings holding me up are so frayed That I'm ready to unwind And if my head is fucked little baby And you're about to give up on me baby Please won't you make a little time to detonate me Before you say goodbye Oh my God I'm so fucked I think my mind's on fire I'd dance it out my bones but I'm feeling far too tired I've been running round while an imaginary choir sings This is the end of everything On and on floating up the stream Someday I'm going to work out what it means From photographs, waking in a dream Leave my skin in a sad bundle at my feet Don't you know tomorrow all these words will lose their meaning In the end and again there's no relief from being Who you are and what you are and everything that you dream of And I think that's why the world is fucked
