Lyrics:
Red faces at the drug front nursery
Buying bouquets relationship up in flames
Will she take me back? I can’t say
Will I ever change my ways?

Yeah all my friends they got it wrapped up in a ribbon
High school sweethearts, graduated smitten
Bought a block out Taylors lakes
Forever ball and chains

Scared, scared of commitment
But I’m gonna go for it, show a little initiative

Well I’m an old dog, you can’t teach me new tricks
I bite the hand that feeds me and like a ton of bricks I’m
Pummelling down, can’t get my head around
These adult leaps and bounds

Suburban snake pit, time is of the essence better get a move on, pay it back on credit
Stoner alcoholic, no end game, never any plans made

Burn the candle at both ends to the core
Melt the midnight oil and work like a dog
You’re always the one overthinking but you just need to breathe and make a decision

I’m as a mad as a hatter, officially off my rocker but hey I couldn’t be gladder
I’m just lucky to still be here singing

Scared, scared of commitment
But I’m gonna go for it, show a little initiative.

Looks like he’s sipping that time land juice again

[mattgaruccio]

How does this dude keep up with king gizz and his solo stuff?! He's gotta be a lizard wizard or something

[GoogleUser-mshr]

Uncle murl just keeps getting more and more prolific, the entirety of Australia will end up being consumed by a singularity with the rate of murl and gizz releases

[eatstatic]

Calm Ya Farm has been my summer album for 2023...great one !

[ahealthkit]

Ambrose has something spiritual going on with his shit and I can't get enough!

[yakattack]

Uncle murl got me smiling with all 4 of my teeths

[BingusLover]

I relate to these lyrics a little too much

[novembergarcia]

the country album 😭😭😭… Thank you universe!

[anglepraker]

I hope when I pass, instead of memories about my friends and animals, I only hear the murlocs and see their videos. Perhaps if I can attend a concert, I’ll accept that flashback

[minemaster]

I think my favorite part about the music video is the last few seconds where Ambrose looks visibly uncomfortable at where he is

[kennygold]

I just started listening to this band because I seen a t-shirt that the drummer of King gizzard & The lizard wizard had and I said if their trip you guys this must be a badass band very grateful for all the beauty that Australia puts out

[bisket]

Fukkin Amby doing his thing. Starting this off on some Timeland Juice!

[smohqe]

well i guess you’ll just have to come tour USA again (especially Chicago)

song is fantastically catchy

[AbstractCatsMedia]

King Gizzard /Merlocs, some of the most talented musicians on earth.

[polinttalu]

I think this Murloc Ambrose guy should collaborate with Ambrose from King Gizzard, they'll make a real banging tune on the chart

[itsty]

Reminds me of George Harrison. Love it!

[laemmeelagi]

I'll be honest, I'm non even a fan of other Murlocs' songs, but THIS is an instant classic!!!

[evil_death_roll]

When people ask about my gender, I'll just send them this. Vagabond Blues Royalty!

[KVault]

An absolute BOP!! Maybe i wouldn't hate dancing to this song. I might like it 😉

[kimpsenlonnroth]

Nothing short of amazing, The Murlocs deliver once again!
