      +Auria Polefka Well the idea of "talent is rare" is completely false and was something the Music Industry's higher ups made to make more money. Talent is not rare and can be earned/learned.

      +lolzforever97 Isn't the talent the opposite of that? Talent is supposed to be a blessed ability that is natural, can't be earned. What you're talking about -- it's called skills. Pure blood and sweat.

    Weird & disturbing lyrics, I know what it's all about, but the whole song is so beautiful, I love the change in rhythm and the abrupt alterations of the tune, their voices match perfectly and they truly know how to play an instrument :). Can't go a day without listening to Alt-J !

    Normal is that bands who create songs like this are hiding and doing this only with the help of computers. Not this guys, they have my full respect for what they are doing.
    A great band!

      Tra la la tra la traa la... la.
      Tra la la tra la traa la... la.
      Tra la la tra la traa la... la.
      In your snatch Fitzpleasure, broom-shaped pleasure,
      Deep greedy and Googling every corner.
      Dead in the middle of the C-O-double-M-O-N,
      Little did I know then, that the Mandela Boys soon became Mandela Men.
      Tall woman, pull the pylons down
      And wrap them around the necks of all the feckless men that queue to be next.
      Steepled fingers, ring la-la-la-la-la-leaders, q-queue jumpers, rock fist paper scissors, la-la-la-lingered fluffers.
      They choir: 'In your hoof lies the heartland'
      Where we tent for our treasure, pleasure, leisure, les yeux, it's all in your eyes.
      In your snatch Fitzpleasure, broom-shaped pleasure
      Deep greedy and Googling every corner
      Tra la la tra la traa la... La la la la la la la
      Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
      Blended by the lights.
