Taken from the Nottingham indie band’s latest EP, Glueland, these delightfully oddball numbers combine changeable, shuffling rhythms, clever, abstract guitar and bass lines, and surreally existential half-spoken half-sung lyrics by frontman Chris Bailey.

When the dial went dead
It just laughed and it said
"I don't know where I am"
But it don't feel bad
I don't know one thing
Nothing on God's green earth
Looks like I'm free at last
Oh, yes, I am
[Chorus]
Out of action
Part of the service
Uber Alles
I don't remember what I said
But we all cried and we hung our heads
When the dial went dead
When the dial went dead
It said, "What happens when you get everything you want?
What after that?"
How come tomorrow's
Always shining like a swordfish?
If you ever really lovеd me, why'd you stab me in the back?
Aw, it's just
Onе big reach-around
Part of the service
Uber Alles
But it's all easy in the end
To go out in style
Yeah, we hung our heads
When the dial went dead
I am just dying for a bite to eat
There's something weird going on out there, man
I'm going round in circles like a little baby eel
In a glass of water, all the way to Glueland
There is no devil like a man in the middle
There is no red devil except that man in the middle
If it happens now, there will be no one at the wheel
I know it
She said:
I came all of this way, just to be a sunbather
I was made in the shade, what's with all of this noise?
You cut your prеtty blonde hair, man, we werе like twins
Swimming around in the oil, I know where I'm going
I should've seen him going, why did he string me on
If he had his heart set on going all along
Going round in circles like a little baby eel
In a glass of water
She said:
I came all of this way, just to be a sunbather
I was made in the shade, what's with all of this noise?
You cut your pretty blonde hair, man, we were like twins
Swimming around in the oil
Come on down
Yeah, climb on down
There's a place that you can go
There's a place you can go
I like you how you are
I'm right behind you, man
Come on down, to Glueland
