Detritus Lyrics by Perhaps Contraption

Business

2011

[Verse 1: Squier Squier; Ruby Lane and Squier Squier]
Centuries pictures, the detritus
"I don't want it" in my consciousness, no
People are making all the clutter
The billboards do loom
In the cumbersome lands

[Chorus: Squier Squier and Ruby Lane]
And it's not surprising they're happier than you
Head tidy, more arranged than the average man's brain
Let's sieve out all the shit and digest the best bits
Head tidy, more arranged than the average man's brain

[Bridge 1: Squier Squier; Ruby Lane and Squier Squier]
What happened to the information?
It dilutes with the symptoms

[Verse 1: Squier Squier; Ruby Lane and Squier Squier]
Centuries pictures, the detritus
"I don't want it" in my consciousness. Ba. Ba
People are making all the clutter
The billboards do loom
In the cumbersome lands

[Bridge 2: Squier Squier; Ruby Lane and Squier Squier]
What happened to the information?
It got lost in the brain stem
What happened to the skepticism?
It dilutes with the symptoms
We'll write our own map, construct our own compasses from the old thoughts
Rubbed from the chalk boards
The dust fuels the new hoards
DIGEST THE BEST BITS
And so

[Chorus: Squier Squier and Ruby Lane]
It's not surprising they're happier than you
Head tidy, more arranged than the average man's brain
Let's sieve out all the shit and we'll digest the best bits
By welding the thinking
We're making
The good things

[Chorus: Ruby Lane; Squier Squier]
Head tidy, (Head tidy, )
More arranged (more arranged)
Than the average (than the average)
Man's brain (man's brain)
Head tidy, (Head tidy, )
We're happy. (more arranged)
We're happy. (than the average)
Happier than (man's brain)
Yooo- (Head tidy, )
Ooou. (more arranged)
(than the average)
(man's brain)
The brain. (Head tidy, )
They (more arranged)
Are (than the average)
Full of (man's brain)
Detritus
