Slikk Furr

Slikk Furr is the name of one of the British indie rock band Glass Animals' unreleased songs.

## Lyrics

He's the product of science

And some broken rules

Now he's ready to procreate

With the fairground fools

So he sips at his protein shake

Doesn't mind he's a horror

So he eyes up a little bait

And drops it beside her

You see 6's and 7's

And fall like a fresh foal

The scene is all shadows

When he comes to hold you

You see 6's and 7's

All 6's and 7's

He crawls up your spine

And he looks through your eye's mind

He wrings out your heart

And he plays with the juices

And he throws your soul out

Oh he throws your soul out

He's sporting his sharp smirk

His eyes glow red and ripe

Throws her upon you

They shoot up and [?]

They're swarming upon her

They're swarming upon her

Down she falls from zion

With her eyes closed tight

Her clothes are wind-whipped by

The half-sunny skies

He opens his eel-like arms

In earth's rankest mires

She opens one stoic eye

Sees his lighting bolt smile

You see 6's and 7's

And fall like a fresh foal

The scene is all shadows

When he comes to hold you

You see 6's and 7's

All 6's and 7's

He crawls up your spine

And he looks through your eye's mind

He wrings out your heart

And he plays with the juices

And he throws your soul out

Oh he throws your soul out

He's sporting his sharp smirk

His eyes glow red and ripe

Throws her upon you

They shoot up and [?]

They're swarming upon her

They're swarming upon her

## Lyrics

Here's to the one with the smokin' stare

Runnin' through my head with a bolo knife

Choppin' up the threads made up from looms

Of love and blood and hate and some empty tunes

Eyes killer cold and black and bare

Freaky little tooth hangin' solo

Suckin' at the walls like a rolo now

Makin' a cocoon when my brain fits

I wanna go back, I wanna go back

I wanna go back with a club and attack

I wanna take to my guns and break you

I gotta make my little foe take his own

I wanna go back, I wanna go back

I wanna go back with a club and attack

I wanna take to my guns and break you

I gotta make my little foe take his own

I've overgrown with a yellow mold

Just fizzin' drones in a hollow dome

My funny nose drippin' little groans

I'm so so cold in the marrow of my bones

I look at you as you take a snooze

Your skinny lips drippin' rabid goo

I lift your chin, and I grin at you

As you come to, man, I'm runnin' 'round your head with a bolo knife

I'm gonna go back, I'm gonna go back

I'm gonna go back to a face, no more mask

I was in full bloom until I met you

I'm gonna shake my fetters, I'm breakin' loose

I'm gonna go back, I'm gonna go back

I'm gonna go back to a face, no more mask

I was in full bloom, until I met you

I'm gonna shake my fetters, I'm breakin' loose

I'm gonna go back, I'm gonna go back

I'm gonna go back to a face, no more mask

I was in full bloom until I met you

I'm gonna shake my fetters, I'm breakin' loose

## Lyrics

I've seen the world, done it all

Had my cake now

Diamonds, brilliant

In Bel-Air now

Hot summer nights, mid July

When you and I were forever wild

Crazy days, the city lights

The way you'd play with me like a child

Will you still love me

When I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me

When I've got nothing but my achin' soul?

I know you will, I know you will

I know that you will

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

I've seen the world, lit it up

As my stage now

Channeling angels in a new age now

Hot summer days, rock and roll

The way you'd play for me at your show

And all the ways, I got to know

Your pretty face and electric soul

Will you still love me

When I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me

When I've got nothing but my achin' soul?

I know you will, I know you will

I know that you will

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Dear Lord, when I get to Heaven

Please let me bring my man

When he comes, tell me that you'll let him in

Father, tell me if you can

All that grace, all that body

All that face, it makes me wanna party

He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds

Will you still love me

When I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me

When I've got nothing but my achin' soul?

I know you will, I know you will

I know that you will

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Melon and the Coconut

“**Melon and the Coconut**” is a song by the British indie rock band Glass Animals. It is the eighth song on their third studio album, *Dreamland*, and was released on August 7th, 2020. *Melon and the Coconut* depicts a Melon and a Coconut breaking up with each other.

## Background

After waking up from a nap, Bayley wrote and recorded this song in about an hour. Attempts were made to add more to it, however Bayley enjoyed the rawness of the song and felt adding more made it lose its charm.

When recording, Bayley accidentally left his security camera on and found himself with nearly two hours of footage of him playing around his studio. “I watched it back the other day,” he says. “I’m sitting there with my feet up playing the guitar and singing into a microphone. Maybe we need to cut that up for a video. I do some weird shit.”

Bayley claims “I really like using food as characters. I think all food has a personality. someone’s favourite food says a lot about them.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Melon and the coconut are sittin' on the floor

Coco said to Melly, "I can't do this anymore

Everything we're doin' just feels fuckin' cold

Everything we're shootin' is just fake B-roll

B-sides, killing time, filler, that's all

How did this happen when we were so close?

How did this all go so Pete Tong?

When it all started, I thought we would grow old

Living in the city with a baby and a dog

Doing school runs in a 4x4

I'd make pancakes and waffles

I could be a stay at home G.I. Joe"

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Melly said to Coco, "You can't do this anymore?

One day, you'll see you're fuckin' wrong

Sometimes B-sides are the best songs

Sometimes killing time's very fruitful

I know I can't make you younger

I can't stop life movin' onwards

I can't hide you from life's horrors

I'm not makin' you like your father

Too much quinoa and online shopping

Off-White Air Force Ones in boxes

You're a fucking coconut, can't even put 'em on

Even if you could, you couldn't even pull 'em off"

## Lyrics

Put your hand down, boy

Welcome to my zoo

Put your head inside

My big black, wild

While I can still help you

See the snake baboon

Funky, chic, and smooth

Honey, can you spy the divine ape-swine?

'Cause he can see you

I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool

My hands are twisted, too

Five fingers, two black hooves

I'm a man, don't spin me a lie

Got toes and I can smile

I'm crooked but upright

And all I ever want is just a little love

I said in purrs under the palms

And all I ever want is breaking me apart

I said to the thing that I once was

I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool

My hands are twisted too

Five fingers, two black hooves

I'm a man, don't spin me a lie

Got toes and I can smile

I'm crooked but upright

To the left now, boy

Underneath the moon

By the thick tan sand and the tall thin grass

One more thing for you

See the distant flume in the sleepy dunes

Makes my nerves clench close and my bones go cold

When I see that room

And all I ever want is just a little love

I said in purrs under the palms

And all I ever want is breaking me apart

I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool

My hands are twisted too

Five fingers, two black hooves

I'm a man, don't spin me a lie

Got toes and I can smile

I'm crooked but upright

## Lyrics

Twee vole go dig your hole

Squish squirmies in your nose

Tree hairs in your eyes

You smile so super quiet

Free air you sip on

A cave edge a black bowl

Breathe in deep and slow

As your own splash echoes

You can't run so you must hide

You won't make it back this time

I sold your rope for a bucket

Of lemon peel, now suck it

So my friend, our time is done

You and I could've had so much

With ropes for the bucket

Of luscious black gold nuggets, yeah

Oh, vole where did you go?

Dim lanterns held by groans

Of beasties sad and tired

Lost in the muck and

It's all dank and gross

Slugs on shrooms, bubble smoke

Through pipes and mondo rolls

Their fuzzy warbles drone

Mmmm, baby

Mmmm, baby

Mmmm, baby, please

Don't go

You can't run so you must hide

You won't make it back this time

I sold your rope for a bucket

Of lemon peel, now suck it

So my friend, our time is done

You and I could've had so much

With ropes for the bucket

Of luscious black gold nuggets

You can't run so you must hide

You won't make it back this time

I sold your rope for a bucket

Of lemon peel, now suck it

So my friend, our time is done

You and I could've had so much

With ropes for the bucket

Of luscious black gold nuggets, yeah

## Lyrics

(Smells good out here, though)

(Yeah, it's the candle, yo it's uh)

(Yo, it's uh sausage)

(A sausage candle)

(Most people don't do it the way I do it, very personal)

(So you give me the money in twenties, tens, twenties)

(You know, like, whatever)

(I just like sausage)

I don't ever wanna pick a slice

One is pretty but the other lies

Chewin' on a fat smoke

No filter but you're puffin'

Suckin' on a slim Vogue

Dark fingernail polish

I'm the treasure, baby, I'm the prize

Cut me rails of that fresh cherry pie

Shitty old pistola

Shot a bullet through my wallet

Gonna go to Pensacola

Gonna fuck my way through college

You've gone with the thick rims

Big look with the lip ring and things

Wake me when the bell rings

I'm gonna sleep 'cause you live in my daydreams

You've gone with the thick rims

Big look with the lip ring and things

Wake me when the bell rings

I'm gonna sleep 'cause you live in my daydreams

Sittin' pretty in the prime of life

I'm so tasty and the price is right

Stewing in the black dope

I'm filthy and I love it

Studebacker, all gold

Got a shotgun in my pocket

You've gone with the thick rims

Big look with the lip ring and things

Wake me when the bell rings

I'm gonna sleep 'cause you live in my daydreams

## Background

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Said to you, "Why did you do it?"

Touch the glass, I'll feel you through it

Against the wall with the bracelets on

You look bizarre in the apricot

[Chorus]

You think that you're Space Ghost

You're wanted coast to coast

Fuck that shit, now I go

My way and you go yours

[Verse 2]

Gotta be all that coco, ay?

Playin' too much of that GTA

Playin' too much of that Dr. Dre

Doom, Quake, where'd you get the gun from, eh?

Really think that metal gonna make you safe?

Playing peek-a-boo with the Devil these days

Black cap back with a trench coat, ay

Livin' in the valley cuttin' porno tapes

(Livin' in the valley cuttin' porno)

[Chorus]

You think that you're Space Ghost

You're wanted coast to coast

Fuck that shit, now I go

My way and you go yours

[Verse 3]

Were you bored of gender norms?

Of bein' alone, no mama home

A bad divorce, or sad we can't

Afford the clothes our heroes own?

Remember when you stole

Mom's old Geo Metro?

You wore her old bathrobe

Too small to see the road

[Bridge]

We were just two Texas toddlers

Pokémon and bottle rockets

Dunkaroos and Real Monsters

Capri Sun straw in the bottom

[Chorus]

You think that you're Space Ghost

You're wanted coast to coast

Fuck that shit, now I go

My way and you go yours

[Verse 4]

Heard you were lookin' up the cookbook, names

Cut into the back of your bedroom door frame

Supervillain with a manifesto, dang

Gotta say I'm pretty glad they caught you, man

Get back to the kickball days

Scared to hold hands at school disco days

007, Nintendo, James

Bond, Hot Pockets in the microwave

[Chorus]

You think that you're Space Ghost

You're wanted coast to coast

Fuck that shit, now I go

My way and you go yours

[Outro]

Drips

Drips is an unreleased track by Glass Animals, uploaded to Soundcloud on February 21 2011.

## Lyrics

Look fast, it's happening

He's a right tyrannosaurus

It's pouring out

Of angel dust eye-corners

Think for a moment

The sea of smashed ceramic with shards of skulls is parting for you, pirate

Going far

They're curling 'round your fingers

And wax gargoyles

Are reaching for your eyelid

Look fast, it's happening

He's a ball of liquid paper

It's pouring out like ash from his eye-corners

Think for a moment

The sea storms in your fingers

Glowing skulls are looking at you, hungry

Going for him

They're cutting off his fingers

And wet gargoyles are drooling on his body
Life Itself

"**Life Itself**" is a song by the British indie rock band Glass Animals. It is the first song on their second studio album, *How to Be a Human Being*, and was released on May 18th, 2016 as the album's first single.

## Lyrics

Daddy was dumb, said that I'd be something special

Brought me up tough but I was a gentle human

Said that he loved each of my two million freckles

When I grew up, was gonna be a superstar

I can't get a job so I live with my mom

I take her money but not quite enough

I sit in the car and I listen to static

She said I look fat but I look fantastic

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them, lean back and breathe

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them, lean back and breathe

I'm wakin' up, lost in boxes outside Tesco

Look like a bum, sippin' codeine Coca-Cola

Thought that I was northern Camden's own Flash Gordon

Sonic ray-gun, gonna be a superstar

I can't get a job so I live with my mom

I take her money but not quite enough

I make my own fun in grandmama's basement

Said I look mad, she said I look wasted

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them, lean back and breathe

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them, lean back and breathe

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them, lean back and breathe

Come back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Come back down to my knees

Be like them, lean back and breathe

Hot Sugar

"**Hot Sugar**" is a song by the British indie rock band Glass Animals. It is the fourth song on their third studio album, *Dreamland*, and was released on August 7th 2020.

## Background

### Meaning

*Hot Sugar* conveys the feelings of someone who thinks they’re falling in love for the first time, when in reality they just admire the other person’s cool persona. The narrator has fun with the laid back person, in an attempt to be cool like them, but ultimately they never engage in any real conversation.

There are various pop culture references in the song, along with the musical change up which was inspired by New Orleans Bounce music.

## Lyrics

Long black tulips

Born in your blue tints

Lemongrass eyelids

Smoke in your slick lips

Chocolate chapstick

Backbeat strat flips

Swimming pool spaceships

Light through the wave tips

Hot sugar in the afternoon

I wish that we could be real too

Hot sugar in the afternoon

I wish that we could be real too

So cool, but we don't talk

Hotels and alcohol

Pool paintings on the wall

Hot rubber on the tar

I don't wanna be around you

Just wanna be like you

I don't wanna be around you

Just wanna be like...

Bath time cool whip

Watermelon juice kiss

Esprit gold rims

Skin so sun-licked

Santal freshness

Hologram glasses

Put it on plastic

You never been desperate

Hot sugar in the afternoon

I wish that we could be real too

Hot sugar in the afternoon

I wish that we could be real too

So cool, but we don't talk

Hotels and alcohol

Pool paintings on the wall

Hot rubber on the tar

I don't wanna be around you

Just wanna be like you

I don't wanna be around you

Just wanna be like you

Just wanna be like you

Just wanna be like you

Just wanna be like you

So cool, but we don't talk

Hotels and alcohol

Pool paintings on the wall

Hot rubber on the tar

I don't wanna be around you

Just wanna be like you

I don't wanna be around you

Just wanna be like you

So cool

So cool

So cool

## Background

### Meaning

Some have interpreted the lyrics for this song to be about death, perhaps running from death.

## Lyrics

When you see him

Look him in the eye

Look him in the eye and he won't dare to follow

If you need to

Hook him with your right

Hook him with your right 'til he wiggles and wallows

Sleeps atop a bag of raven's legs

Curled up rats napping by his head

Takes his eye out with a ball-point pen

Makes nunchaku with his torn off legs

Wake up with a hatchet over your head

You wake up with a hatchet over your head

I can see you running

I can see you running

Gone in the blink of my eye

Gone, gone, gone in the blink of my eye

I can see you running

I can see you running

Gone in the blink of my eye

Gone, gone, gone in the blink of my, blink of my eye

Open your eyes, choking on his breath

Choking on his breath, then grimace and smile

Take a toke of his wet cigarette

He picks your brains, you stub it on his chest

Slit his tongue with one fast hand

And stuff his mouth with salty sand

Tie his arms with hair from his head

Roll him 'round like a rusty can

Wake up with a hatchet over your head

You wake up with a hatchet over your head

I can see you running

I can see you running

Gone in the blink of my eye

Gone, gone, gone in the blink of my eye

I can see you running

I can see you running

Gone in the blink of my eye

Gone, gone, gone in the blink of my, blink of my, blink of my eye

## Lyrics

When I was young and stupid

My love left to be a rock and roll star

He told me, "please don't worry"

Wise little smile that spoke so safely

He booked a one way ticket

Out west, that's where they'd make it

Six kids stuck in a bedsit

To sun swept poolside riches

He met a girl who wore Versace

Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery

Gonna be a hoop phenomenon

He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon

He's got a gold Camaro

He said over the payphone

I try to keep my cool but

My life turns in slow motion

Bye bye, baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Caught up in a rush, it's killing you

Screaming at the sun you blow into

Curled up in a grip when we were us

Fingers in a fist like you might run

I settle for a ghost I never knew

Super paradise I held on to

But I settle for a ghost

Where I was from in NOLA

No one left to be a rock and roll star

He'd stay and treat his lady

Give everything to his new baby

I miss him, don't you blame me

That boy went stone cold crazy

Caught up in camera lust he's

Chasing that pappy pipe dream

I know you don't but I

I know you don't but I still try

My thunder shook him down

My thunder came and shook him down

That girl is gone but I

That girl is gone but I still try

I think it's over now

The bullet hit but maybe not

I feel so fucking numb

It hits my head and I feel numb

My body's looking wrong

My body's looking wrong

My body's looking wrong

Bye bye, baby blue

I wish you could see the wicked truth

Caught up in a rush, it's killing you

Screaming at the sun you blow into

Curled up in a grip when we were us

Fingers in a fist like you might run

I settle for a ghost I never knew

Super paradise I held on to

But I settle for a ghost

I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)

"**I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)**" (also known as "**IDWTIJWD**", "**I Don't Wanna Talk**", and "**Cherry**") is a song by the British indie rock band Glass Animals.

## Background

Bayley first teased the release of *I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)* through Instagram on 24 August 2021 when he posted a 16 second video clip onto the official Glass Animals Instagram account with the caption: "www.glassanimals.com the password is horse". [1]

### Meaning

I Don’t Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance) is most likely another one of Dave’s personal songs, considering how soon it was released after Dreamland, and how it was included in Dreamland (+ Bonus Levels).

## Lyrics

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

I don't wanna talk no more-

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past, baby

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

We kissed in the morning on a summer day

You taste like cigarettes and hurricanes

There's a warning written in the corners of your face

Whiplash and you left me in a vapour trail

Now I know it's safe to say

Nothing's perfect anyway

You fell in love, but you don't know how

We were good once, but I'm fucked up now

I was dumb, trying to work things out

I built a house and you burned it down

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past, baby

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

Just a minute now, there's something different now

All your morning sounds, how's it all so loud?

Put the flowers down 'cause they look like clouds

Leave me to it then and let your hair grow out

Now I know it's safe to say

Nothing's perfect anyway

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past, baby

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

You fell in love but you don't know how

We were good once, but I'm fucked up now

I was dumb, trying to work things out

I built a house and you burned it down

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past, baby

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past, baby

Don't wanna talk, baby, I just wanna dance

And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

You fell in love but you don't know how

We were good once, but I'm fucked up now

Golden Antlers

"**Golden Antlers**" is a song by the British indie rock band Glass Animals. It is the first song on their first extended play (EP), *Leaflings*, and was released on May 28th, 2012.

## Background

### Meaning

Golden Antlers is, on the surface, about a vampiric creature. Some have theorized it to be about mental illness and hallucinations. This could be likely because Dave studied neuroscience during college, and many of his early songs were inspired by this.

## Lyrics

Look at this poor boy all dressed up in white

Now, how can he smile

With a face of all eyes?

He wanders thin ice

Through sneers and words snide

Spinning 'round and 'round his precious mind

Like dizzy neon lights

Can anybody find out

Any other way?

It's choking up his throat now

And dripping out his mouth

Like liquefied dying sparks

Like burning butterflies

These creatures are vampires

They're killing by the night

They're falling from the dead trees

To sihouette your life

He sees his white face

Brains lit grey and cold

Trees grow in their throats

And crystals ignored

His cellophane mask

Has filled with red smoke

Look through the holes in his eyes

And see his red, righteous soul

Can anybody find out

Any other way?

It's choking up his throat now

And dripping out his mouth

These creatures are vampires

They're killing by the night

They're hanging in the dead trees

Like burning butterflies

Season 2 Episode 3

"**Season 2 Episode 3**" is a song by the British indie rock band Glass Animals. It is the third song on their second studio album, *How to Be a Human Being*, and was released on August 23rd, 2016 as the album's third single.

## Lyrics

Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?

'Cause I'm so happy without your noise

Baby, now my head is on backwards

And my feet at funny angles

And every time I take a step

We're moving forwards faster

And lately, I can't take it

Baby, now my body's in tatters

In an ordinary fashion

And everything I tried to leave behind is still beside us

But lately, I can't take it

Leftover breakfast, cereal for lunch

She is broken, but she's fun

My girl eats mayonnaise

From a jar when she's gettin' blazed

Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?

'Cause I'm so happy without your noise

Lazy, and layin' on your belly

With a super pump cola

Lookin' at your folding clothes you've worn for three days over

With a cookie as a coaster

Maybe, I wish I could've mold ya

To vertical and golden

But you do the styrofoam, and so it hurts to say it's hopeless

And we ain't gonna make it

Leftover breakfast, cereal for lunch

She is broken, but she's fun

My girl eats mayonnaise

From a jar when she's gettin' blazed

She's drunk on old cartoons

Liquid TV afternoons

Sometimes it makes me laugh

Sometimes it makes me sad

Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?

'Cause I'm so happy without your noise

Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?

'Cause I'm so happy without your noise

Baby, now my head is on backwards

Baby, now my head is on backwards

Oh, baby, now my head is on backwards

Baby, now my head is on backwards

Don't you need me, oh, baby boy?

'Cause I'm so happy without your noise

Youth

**Youth** is a song by the British indie rock band Glass Animals. It is the second track on their second studio album, *How to Be a Human Being*, and was released on July 27th 2016 as the album's second single.

## Background and Meaning

In an interview with Paste Magazine, Glass Animals frontman Dave Bayley explained the meaning behind "Youth":

"The idea for this one came from a story someone told me once. They were telling me about their child, and something awful had happened to them. She was crying—but at the same time the memories that they had from that previous life made her so happy—so she was also smiling. That combination of emotions kind of made me feel like my heart was being ripped apart but also optimistic in a weird way. She had found a way to see happiness in this awful thing that had happened to her. That combination of emotions is what this song is getting at. Have a look at this character’s website, too."[1]

## Lyrics

Boy, when I left you, you were young

I was gone, but not my love

You were clearly meant for more

Than a life lost in the war

I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly

Feel your mother at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes?

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right

Boy, now your life is back to front

But you'll see that's not for long

'Cause I know you'll feel the ghost

Of some memories so warm

Boy, I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly

Feel your mother at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes?

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right

Boy, I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit dappy

Fly

Feel your mother at your side

Don't you know you got my eyes?

I'll make you fly

You'll be happy all the time

I know you can make it right

I'll make you

Boy, I want you to be happy

Free to run, get dizzy on caffeine

Funny friends that make you laugh

And maybe you're just a little bit

Helium

"**Helium**" is a song by the British indie rock band Glass Animals. It is the sixteenth song on their third studio album, *Dreamland*, and was released on August 7th, 2020.

## Background

### Meaning

This song is about love, about relationships; about life and its disjointed, fractured, fluid and ever-changing nature – and, through it all, wanting and striving for a good outcome.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

9:09

You gonna call it or am I?

One more time

This puppy love is out of line

One more slide

And then we're back to real life

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, and I'm falling now but it's so wrong

You talk like a man and taste like the sun

Ooh, and you lift your eyes up from the dust

I knew just then, I knew it was done

[Chorus]

I guess I want you more than I thought I did

Now that I know that part of you's at home with him

I guess I want you more than I thought I did

Now that I know that part of you's not part of this

[Verse 2]

Soft blue skies

Helium balloons float up away

Broad daylight

But we're sunflowers in the rain

[Verse 3]

My mama said they used to be white pyramids

They float above the sand, they're slowly sinking in

Are our foundations destined to keep crumbling

Just 'cause we started this with zero innocence?

I just can't build on something that begins like this

It's a blood diamond, flawless but for that one thing

[Bridge]

You just want backstreets, you don't want me

You just gonna hate it all the way

You just want backstreets, you don't want me

You just gonna hate it all the way

[Outro]

Hello, who is this? Hello?

Are you watching TV?

Say, "Bye-bye"

"Bye-bye"

## Lyrics

Pulling down backstreets deep in your head

Slipping through dreamland like a tourist

Pulling down backstreets deep in your head

Slipping through dreamland like a tourist

That first friend you had, that worst thing you said

That perfect moment, that last tear you shed

All you've done in bed

All on Memorex

All 'round, 'round your head, all 'round, 'round your head

Pulling down backstreets deep in your head

Slipping through dreamland like a tourist

Pulling down backstreets deep in your head

Slipping through dreamland like a tourist

You've had too much of the digital love

You want everything live, you want things you can touch

Make it feel like like a movie you saw in your youth

Make it feel like that song that just unopened you

You were ten years old holding hands in the classroom

He had a gun on the first day of high school

You want something bizarre, old conceptual cars

You want girls dressed in drag, you want boys with guitars

Pulling down backstreets deep in your head

Slipping through dreamland like a tourist

Pulling down backstreets deep in your head

Slipping through dreamland like a tourist

You see Kodachrome, you see pink and gold

You see Mullholland glow, you see in airplane mode

All 'round, 'round your head, all 'round, 'round your head

All 'round, 'round your head, all 'round 'round your head

You float in the pool where the soundtrack is Canned

You go ask your questions like, "What makes a man?"

Oh, it's 2020 so it's time to change that

So, you go make an album and call it Dreamland

## Lyrics

What'll it be now, Mr. Mole?

Whispers sloth in curls of smoke

Take a back seat or play pharaoh

Dance with me and shake your bones

Slow down, it's a science

He's been waiting to bring you down

Snake-eyed with a sly smile

He can hold you and shake you, child

Leopards laze each on plush pillows

Slender capes of red and chrome

Paperback dreams in their deep doze

Twitch their toes to Black Mambo

Slow down, it's a science

He's been waiting to bring you down

Snake-eyed with a sly smile

He can hold you and shake you, child

Wanna play cheat?

Now says the sloth

A domino flush to his nose

Tickle that cheek

And take your throne

Pump your veins with gushing gold

Slow down, it's a science

He's been waiting to bring you down

Snake-eyed with a sly smile

He can hold you and shake you, child

We can hold you

We can hold you

We can hold you

We can hold you

We can hold you

We can hold you...

## Credits

### Label

Wolf Tone Limited・Polydor Records・Republic Records

“**Waterfalls Coming Out Your Mouth**” is a song by the British indie rock band Glass Animals. it is the tenth song on their third studio album, *Dreamland*, and was released on August 7th, 2020.

## Background

### Meaning

*Waterfalls Coming out Your Mouth* is about looking back at yourself at the beginning of a relationship and recognising that you were acting completely different to normal. The song was the first to be written for *Dreamland* after it’s title track.

In the Glass Animals listening party, Bayley says:

Someone once told me that for the first 3 months of a relationship, you play a fake version of yourself…I think we spend a lot of time not being ourselves because we think who we are isn’t good enough, so we hide our real selves when actually it would be much better to just be open and honest from the beginning.

## Lyrics

[Chorus]

Drip, drop

Gimme what you got

Your talk is incredible

So, so, so unusual

You taste like surfing videos

[Verse 1]

I'm going to read your mind

Big dicks and big ol' titties on the sly

Say I got Aries eyes

Fuck no, I'm a bonafide Aquemini

Ooh, who you hiding?

White Russians and dirty diamonds

You fake your shyness

I just wish that I could see through you

[Verse 2]

Cheap booze, Pepsi blue

You got bottles in from 2002

Hot glue, vape juice

Hit undo, how the Hell are you so cool?

[Chorus]

Drip, drop

Gimme what you got

Your talk is incredible

So, so, so unusual

You taste like surfing videos

[Verse 3]

It's chemical warfare

Red lips and television eyewear

Raspberry soda hair

In the pool in a blow-up gummy bear

[Verse 4]

Fake youth, Scooby Doo

Push Pops on the corner of the roof

Froot Loops, superfood

Chat shit but where's the real you?

Never seen The Price Is Right

I'm a liar, I've been on that shit since '99

You make me like a clown

Clap, clap, you're a clever-clever cookie now

[Refrain]

Waterfalls coming out your mouth

What the Hell are we doing now?

Waterfalls tearing you apart

What the Hell are we doing now?

Edmund Irwin-Singer

Edmund Irwin-Singer, also known as Ed, was born on November 23rd in England. He plays the bass and keys and sometimes helps with backing vocals. He is a pretty shy person compared to the rest of the group, he doesn't talk much in interviews, and he doesn't have any other job experience.

Edmund was the last member to agree to join the band. In fact, he is convinced that he didn't have any part in choosing the band name, which means he probably joined a week or two after Dave asked the others if they wanted to join. Edmund is fond of setting things on fire, and whenever the band would get a pineapple in their dressing room, he would throw it against the wall.
