gonna look fools by oldrottenhead (almost live in the living room)

[Oldrottenhead]

almost live in the living room but i couldn't quite coordinate my fingers and mouth at the same time, so recorded piano live to two tracks then added the vocal after.

inspired by all the cool and trendy physicists getting airtime on the bbc right now.

there's a crack in the light
letting go of the dark
it's a matter of fact
but it's under contention
there ain't no one believes
the ayes and beholders
even schrodinger's cat
is looking over it's shoulder
just a slip of the tongue
and a slide of the rule
if it doesn't add up
we're all gonna look fools

we're all gonna look fools
when we just wanna be cool
we're all gonna look fools
when we just wanna be cool

we've gotta get things back on track
underneath my skinny suit i'm wearing an anorak
i crushed the numbers under my cuban heels
but i don't know what's a dream or what is real
they said that nuthin could go faster than light
but now i don't know if that's wrong or right
wrong or right
oh hey
wait a minute
slow down
we're going too fast
we need to check the numbers
              or
we're all gonna look fools
when we just wanna be cool
we're all gonna look fools
when we just wanna be cool
they said that nuthin could go faster than light

gonna look fools

Great piano hooks, clever lyrics and I like how that speedy-up part falls into sparseness.

Loved the line 'i crushed the numbers under my cuban heels' especially. Brilliant!

Very cool indeed.
