Picture two musicians lost in the canals of time; Obsessing over a period in which they never lived in. Two men who – for all intents and purposes - never made it as far as they wanted to in their respective music scene. What you are about to hear is a culmination of nonsense based entirely off of their obsession for a television show from another time… Or dimension. They might not know it yet, but these two men have stumbled upon a musical journey that will take them places they never could have imagined; To an era in time that could only have been found in their next stop…. Willoughby.

Where is Everybody?

The place is here
The time is now
The journey into the shadows we’re about to watch could be ours
Is anyone here?
Is anyone here?!
Food on the stove, eggs over-easy, hash browns
Music from the jukebox
Someone must be near
Please tell me someone’s near
No one will answer me
Loneliness you won’t believe
Who am I supposed to be?
Nothing but mannequins
No one to answer when the payphone rings
Am I the last man on Earth?
Is this all a dream?
Running endlessly, I can’t find the companionship I seek
Sensory deprived
I thought I was losing my mind
I’m in isolation, but I still wake up a failure X2

We’ve returned home, but we’re not all together
How is it that no one remembers?
We took this journey for man, and now we’re a man short
How can you forget that we exist?
Parents who forgot their own kids
Has the world lost its mind?
We only just left
I feel myself fading
You should have listened to me
I don’t know where we went
You should have listened to me
It has powers beyond belief
You should have listened to me now

What are these noises I hear?
I think I’m losing my mind
Everyone’s thoughts are clear
My mind is fucked
All this from a single coin?
Where do I go from here?
Get out, get out, get out of my head
I hear you all, you’re fucking brain dead
Lying and stealing your way to the end
I’m going to take what’s mine
We know I deserve much more
Plans and fantasies are not my concern
Please, someone take this curse X2

I'm beginning to hate you
I'm going to kill you
You better be nice to me

TENNYSON!
This charade has gone on long enough
TENNYSON!
I think it’s time to give it up
You should see the spring this time of year
Your agony has no place in here
What about your wife?
Courting other men to bring her cheer
You could lose it all, and for what?
The money won’t really mean that much
Why don’t you leave, right here and now?

A Stop at Willoughby

Why can't you see this means nothing to me?
My life is not what I envisioned that it would be
Working to make someone else happy over me
This is not the way it should be
I can't keep my eyes open
What is this place that I see?
Beauty surrounds me
Simplicity that I need
Now I'm free to be who I want to be
I should have jumped sooner

Everyone listen here!
What I say goes
Don’t you want to play a game?
I can hear all your thoughts
Think positively of me or else
Have no fear
We have no worries here
Eliminated!

This place is not as it appears
Why is everyone acting so weird?
I just wanted to stop for gas
Now it feels like I’m stuck in a trap
Let me out!
I’m going to share your secret
Let me out!
This could help the world
Let me out! X2
I never should have taken that turn
Now my situation can’t be reversed
You people don’t understand what you have
This could be what saves humanity this time around
Let me out! X2
This place is not as it appears
Why is everyone acting so weird?
I just wanted to stop for gas
Now it feels like I’m stuck in a trap
Let me out!
This could help the world
Let me out!
I’m going to share your secret
Let me out! X2

Step right up!
Come see my best friends
Don’t be shy
They’re only monsters
Don’t you just love them?
I think they like you
Jack seems particularly fond of you
Killers in my basement
Don’t worry, they’re only wax
I’m the care taker
Won’t you come down and relax?
He has no idea what we do down here
If only he knew X2
When the time is right, we’ll show him who’s in charge
If only he knew X2
Don’t you just love them?
I think they like you
Jack seems particularly fond of you
It was not I who killed your friend, it was you
It was not I who murdered your wife, it was you
It was not I who used my axe to kill

This life isn’t worth living
No one even cares
Where do I go from here?
Dear bottle, take me home
Dear bottle, dear bottle, dear bottle
Please take me, sweet succulence
Where do we go from here?
Playing my trumpet for silence
No one seems to give a damn
Never receiving a helping hand
How can you see me when no one else can?
I thought I was dead
Can you help me?
I sure could use a friend
I’ve got my life again
I’m doing what I can
Goodbye, dear friend
I’ve got my life again
I’m doing what I can
Goodbye, dear friend

There’s a special service I can provide
I can make your loved ones come back to life
Step on up and pay the price
You’ll want to see them again, it’s only right
Is this for real?
How should I feel?
Is this really our best deal?
Is this for real?
How should I feel?
Is this really our best deal?
Maybe we should keep them where they are
We wouldn’t want to disturb them after all
Step on up and pay the price
You’ll want to see them again, it’s only right
Step on up and pay the price
You’ll want to see them again, it’s only right
Is this for real?
How should I feel?
Is this really our best deal?
Is this for real?
How should I feel?
Is this really our best deal?
Maybe we should keep them where they are
We wouldn’t want to disturb them after all
CONNED!
You’ve all been conned
CONNED!
Now watch them walk
CONNED!
Watch them walk

My work has meant nothing
I have not helped anyone
My work has meant nothing
I have not helped anyone
I think it’s time to end things
I’m sorry it had to be this way
Retirement is not for me
This is not how it should be
Thank you for helping me see
My impact was better than I dreamed
I can finally rest with peace

Orange Mathematics

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.
