lyrics

Robot, can you hear me?
Did your maker give you ears?
I have some instructions for you
Regarding how to behave now that winter is here
Robot, when it’s cold out
It takes effort to keep warm
And though friction’s a good source of heat
It’ll wear out your hardware and tire your battery
That’s why
Everyone needs vacation
Both creator and creation
So let’s celebrate this occasion
To shut down
Robot, have you noticed
How the lights light up the homes
That’s what we do in winter
To combat the oppression of darkness and cold
Robot, are you lonely?
Are there others of your kind?
Perhaps they are right by your side
Or perhaps they are somewhere remote and quite hard to find
What is a bot to do
When there’s always more stuff to produce?
And what is a bot to say
When there’s always more work on the way?
Oh
Everyone needs vacation
Both creators and creation
So let’s celebrate this occasion
To embark on a migration
To our
Holiday destination
Where we’ll join our kin and mates in
Singing
Everyone needs vacation
Both creators and creation
so let’s celebrate this occasion
To embark on a migration
To our
Holiday destination
Where we’ll join our kin and mates in
Singing
Everyone needs vacation
Both creators and creation
so let’s celebrate this occasion
To shut down

by That's That And The What's What

Friends and sometimes TWT collaborators set out to make a "classic rock" album but got lost along the way. Favorite Track: Aviator Shades. The Wiggly Tendrils

No. 1 - (Limited Edition Single)
by A Severe Joy

Ok, you have to buy their Limited Edition Single - Mono Plexi-discs. It's a series, so if it's sold out then check back. The music is amazing, and the packaging is top notch. I highly recommend it. The Wiggly Tendrils

Capitol Limited EP
by Deirdre and Conor / Kitchen Table, Illinois

Becky and Gabe back up their dear friends Conor and Deirdre Loughridge on three of their wonderful love songs; they return the favor on three of our weepy songs. We used a toy drum set! The Wiggly Tendrils
