lyrics

Normal led us here
Normal led us astray
Normal needs you to lie awake and worry
About how you're going to pay for it all
You think normal brought us together
When normal broke us up
Normal is an endless commercial
For you not having enough

So. let's not go back to normal
Let's not live there anymore
Let us dwell in a cave marked 'home of the strange'
Let's not go back to normal

Normal got us here
Normal made it worse
Normal wastes your time
Normal makes you work
Normal made a profit
Yet normal made you poor
Normal rewards dominion
And always needed more

So. let's not go back to normal
Let's not live there anymore
Let us dwell in a cave marked 'home of the brave'
Let's not go back to normal

Normal cuts down trees
Normal cuts the grass
Normal needs finite resources
Normal does not need things to last
Normal made you unhappy
Then sold you happy pills
Normal made you care about celebrity
Normal made you ill

What's more normal made you stupid
Normal made you plain
Normal's made you empty
That's how normal kept you sane
Normal is constructed
Which means normal can be undone
Normal made forever chemicals in a lab
Normal never wants you to learn
That normal is a church
Distant riches require some faith
Normal needs you to believe
That normal is the only way

So. let's not go back to normal
Let's not live there anymore
Let us dwell in a cave marked 'home of the strange'
Let's not go back to normal

Santa Sprees

The Anglo-Japanese band Santa Sprees have been advancing the art of unpopular song since 1994. Making questionable progress from the low-skilled, no-fidelity, no wave of their earliest cassettes to the largely futile primitive avant bubblegum of today, releasing ten collections to date on a trail of defunct labels and media. ... more
