about

One of the most-requested songs from the album, this is a good example of the kind of minor-key pop we like to peddle. The lyric takes another stab at trying to point out that there are some things in life that are just not worth worrying about: "every life’s a brief exhibit and if you had a brain, you’d know that if you blink you might just miss it." The track features some lovely violin (and backing vocals) from the incredibly talented Toby Campbell.

lyrics

In the countdown to the end, you think you’ll achieve survival lording it over your friends, a step ahead of all your arrivals. But this is how the story goes: every life’s a brief exhibit, and if you had a brain you’d know that if you blink you might just miss it.
Get a grip, face the facts, turn around and do something.
Just grow up … don’t you see that all this means less than nothing?

Every man will have his vice and every priest believes in voodoo. What’s the point when you know the price, but you don’t have a clue about the value?
Get a grip, face the facts, turn around and do something.
Just grow up … can’t you see that all this means less than nothing?

'Nudge Unit Blues', represents something of a departure, featuring, as it does, a somewhat dystopian take on recent events. It's still about the tunes, though! ... more
