Information

I have heard a version of the story
It’s the same old information given out a different way.
I have seen the characters unfold themselves before me
Please to speak more clearly, can’t hear a word you say.
And I can’t believe everything you tell me
I can’t believe everything you say.
I can’t believe everything you tell me
It’s the same old information, given out a different way.
I try to get into your language
It’s your lazy, lousy grammar makes me shudder when I speak.
Paleface speaks with forked tongue, twisted broken consonants
Sibilant and inconsistent, all so very cheap.

Digging Your Scene
04:03

I like the way you say it best I don’t know why
It sounds so stupid when I try.
I like the ways you spend your days they seem to fly
I don’t know why.
But if you’re looking for an insight
When you see me and I’m running a yellow light
And grinning like it’s alright, but I’m terrified beneath.
Then I’ll be digging your scene
And I’d like to muscle in
But the problems we’ve seen, just the distance in between
So I’ll be digging your scene
Looking for release.
I like to match the moves you make to step in line
It makes it easier every time
I never know which way to go which way to try
I don’t know why.

Syntax Error
04:00
|
|
||
|
Cut to different scene, a great divide between
You hear me but you don’t know what I mean.
Everything unchanged assumes a different name
It’s just a game we practice to deceive.
The signal that was sent was not quite what was meant
And I’ll circumvent the explanations please.
Simple words to blame, that sometimes sound the same
But may contain strange implications.
The passage as it read, with certain words unsaid
Was left to your imagination.
The message as received, could seldom be believed
I’m here to break your conversation piece.
The signal that was sent was not quite what was meant
And I’ll circumvent the explanations please.
A syntax error gone berserk
A race to place the meaning first
A strangled language fit to burst its seams
You don’t know what I mean.
The message as received, could seldom be believed
I’m here to break your conversation piece.
The signal that was sent was not quite what was meant
And I’ll circumvent the explanations please.
Cut to different scene, a great divide between
You hear me but you don’t know what I mean.

Received And Understood
03:51

Too much time, too much space in between
I drive all night but I don’t get to see you
The radio is not my friend, it tries to send me off to sleep...
(try to count electric sheep, your sweet dream wishes you can keep)
But I get your message
I know what you want.
Broken line, ffkks with my connection
(can I get your attention? there’s something I should mention)
So I keep trying, but I can’t get reception
(in certain situations, and varying locations)
And I’d never really dare to call you up, you never know just who might answer...
But I get your message
I know what you want.

Bad With Names
03:22
|
|

I’m not so good with faces
And I’m bad with names
And worse with dates
It’s a symptom of my complicated lifestyle.
But I remember you, I can’t shake you out of my brain
I remember you, I can’t shake you out my brain.
You must excuse me if I’m quiet
But there are certain simple things
That are best kept to myself, if you don’t mind
I think that you will find
It’s usually the truly clever things that I don’t say
That people so admire.
I’m not so good with names, I’m terrible with dates
I never can recall a decent joke
But I remember you, I can’t shake you out of my brain
I remember you, I can’t shake you out of my brain.
One of these days I will have to introduce myself
One of these days I will have to introduce myself
But I’m not so good with names, I’m terrible with dates
And I never can recall a decent joke
I’m terrible with names, and horrible with dates
Yeah, but I remember you...

Stop Wasting My Time
03:55

Stop wasting my time
It wasn’t my idea.
Stop wasting my time
Call it lack of interest
Stop wasting my time
Keep it out yer business
It wasn’t my idea.
How am I responsible? I had nowhere else to go
How are we responsible? We had nowhere else to go
Yeah we had nowhere else to go...
Is that clear?
It wasn’t my idea.

A Thousand Pieces
04:17
|
|
||
|
Breaking, breaking slowly on the inside
Thinking, til you find your feelings sinking
There are lines to be rehearsed
Waiting here for your return.
Speaking, always talking at the same time
We’re waiting, to see if they say something
But words can count for nothing and sometimes you might miss them
I’m tired enough tonight and I can’t listen.
You fracture into a thousand pieces
Distracting attention away from the weakness
You fracture into a thousand pieces.
Moving, no one knows which way to go
And you can feel the blood start freezing in your veins if you’re too slow
But it’s not time, don’t make it happen (it’s not time for me to go)
This is not my time and I can’t make it happen.
You fracture into a thousand pieces
Distracting attention away from the weakness
You fracture into a thousand pieces.
Time has kept me by the throat, all my life so I should know
What it feels like when you choke
Just trying to keep myself afloat.

All Wrapped Up In You
04:44
|
|

A top floor window, attacked by the rain
The thunder of the roads... sinking back again...
When you see them, throwing out their arms
And when you see yourself, falling back into the stars.
Everything that covered me was all wrapped up in you
It’s still part of me...
A restless, ugly night; a shattered, empty glass
The storm clouds on your face, the answer in your grasp
When it comes again, can you take it on?
You’ll hold it back on then, push it further on...
Everything that covered me was all wrapped up in you
It’s still part of me
Everything that covered me was all wrapped up in, all wrapped up in you
And it’s still part of me...
Deep breath in now, thinking of me
I’m twice the size that I, that I’m supposed to be
Deep breath out now, thinking of you
It’s nothing, no it’s nothing, it’s nothing new...

One In A Thousand
by Obey Robots
supported by 4 fans who also own “The Distance In Between”
Before every vacation, I face the challenge of finding fresh music that is dynamic but not too hard, and that is so emotional and catchy that it doesn't get on my nerves after just two days of touring. During that search I discovered OBEY ROBOTS and it took me only a few moments to put "One in a thousand" on the playlist. The album rocks, combines strong "Therapy?"-like guitars with Laura's soulful, distinctive vocals to quite a few hits, just check "One of these days" or "Next Summer"!
