      I think that my favorite part of his songs is that they almost always come from really mundane crap like "I'm too lazy to fix the minor annoyances of my life" or "I want to see my tvs DVD logo hit the corner" it limits him so much into making pure gold. I think the only other song that does that is NSP's "I don't know what we're talking about"

    Another truly bloody brilliant banger. The craftsmanship is on-poínt as always. The level of artistry in the thoroughly realized thematic concept and narrative is rivaled only by the masterfully orchestrated firey funk. Dancing my ass off + laughing my ass off at the same time. This is truly an anthem for those of us who can't possibly be bothered to demonstrate the slightest ounce of normal human foresight, assertiveness, or self-discipline of any kind. I'm currently watching my world turn upside-down because of just such a failure of mine to be just a tiny bit proactive. Lmao. This struck home hardcore. Oh, well, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least I know I'm not alone in that regard.

    OOOH yesss. New Jazz Emu songs is what I live for, and this production quality is SOOOO GOOD, along with the tons of different melodies throughout the song, so well done and varied. Also, the MV is SOOOOO HIGH QUALITY AND WELL DONE!!! I think this is your best MV yet, and so relatable as usual. Love your work JE!

    Here's the lyrics for anyone that wants to try to imitate a fraction of their power
    [Verse 1]
    We're all slaves to the time
    They call it a watch
    'Cause it watches our lives slip by
    Don't fact check that online
    Now you're lying there in bed and
    You find yourself setting the
    Same alarm to wake you up
    At 07:09
    To catch that 7:36
    Service to Stoke
    Do you maybe wanna give yourself
    Just slightly more time
    Oh wow! hmm, gee, let me think
    [Chorus]
    I would rather die
    Than be awake for the
    Nine extra minutes
    That I know would make me on time
    I would rather
    Dive into a vat full of live bees
    Than conceptualise
    Being that organised
    I would rather di-i-i-i-ie
    I'd rather try to make love to a fire
    (Di-i-i-i-ie)
    I'd rather take a bath with my hairdryer
    (Di-i-i-i-ie)

    [Verse 2]
    I don't fear sacrifice, don't make me a martyr
    Don't worship me just because
    I would lay down my life
    To avoid getting up from the sofa
    To reach for the remote and
    Every time I send out
    An e-mail I see
    A little tag at the end
    Saying: 'Sent from my iPhone'
    And every time I stop
    Then I highlight and delete it
    I'm sure there is a straightforward fix
    But
    [Chorus]
    I would rather lick ice
    With both my balls in a vice
    Than find a setting on my phone
    That would turn it off
    I'd rather have my nephew's
    Diper as a drink
    Than be slightly forward-thinking
    Or nice to future me at all
    I would rather di-i-i-i-ie
    The zebra crossing's just a bit too far
    (Di-i-i-i-ie)
    I'd rather cross at this blind corner part
    (Di-i-i-i-ie)
    It's worth the risk of getting hit by-
    [Verse 3]
    So you've made it up to heaven, now
    You can laze it up, you'll never
    Have to look ahead with prophetic vision
    To see the future stress
    You might get from the present
    Decision that you're making
    Now let's get that booty through the pearly gates, man
    All you have to do to pass into the realm
    Of the deep forever
    Is give your true opinion
    On the haircut I just gave ya
    [Chorus]
    I would rather die
    Than tell a stranger that
    I am not quite sure if I like
    The way they cut my hairs
    I would rather
    Deny myself the Eternal Life
    Than have to suffer that minor
    Present awkwardness
    I would rather di-i-i-i-ie
    I would rather di-i-i-i-ie
    I would rather die
