18 Gators in Space – comin to get your mind
They got a swamp green UFO an it’s comin on overdrive
They comin in through a hole from dimension 99
It’s a polychromatic vortex in space and outta time
18 Gators in Space will also steal your girl
Take your mind and your girl to their liquid plastic underworld
They eat your mind and then they turn your girl’s skin green
Then they sick up your mind and they sell it to an IBM machine
(Chorus)
18 Gators In Space – So come on now
18 Gators In Space – come an help me
18 Gators In Space – come on now
18 Gators In Space – come on an help me
Lead Break
I said Woah-ohhh-ohh.
I said Woah-ohhh-ohh
You the sweetest li’l girl in the whole wide world
An the colours in your mind go round a tilt a whirl now
Well I said come on now honey come on now
Come on come on come on come on baby let’s go
This hole in space is really in your orange brain
Gotta close it up right now before you go insane
Or make another vortex through to another plane
Send 18 Gators in space into someone else’s brain yeah
(18 Gators In Space) – So come on now
(18 Gators In Space) – come an help me
(18 Gators In Space) – come on now
(18 Gators In Space) – come on an help me

The Cushion Gurls

There are some girls - their hair is black
It might be startin' to turn grey, but I ain't seen them for a while
When I was young - much further back
They sat on cushions on TV because they were so very small
Oh-oh they sang so sweetly I am told
Oh-oh the cushion gurls
When I grew up - I fell in love
I didn't know just what to say, but it wasn't quite enough
The oldest girl - the sweetest one
She let me down oh so gently - I couldn't complain, not at all
Oh-oh they sang so sweetly I am told
Oh-oh the cushion gurls
Now they are tall - and not so young
I've heard the songs on their CD - and they are very fine indeed
No cushions now - to prop them up
Their talent is so indiscreet they have no need for all that stuff
Oh-oh they sang so sweetly I am told
Oh-oh the cushion gurls

Memphis Louie & The Rockin' Firebird Of Death Sandwick, UK
Emerging after 18 years of silence from the ashes of the Outer Hebrides' 60s garage band scene (which happened in the 80s), MLATRFOD formed in 2003 in the cac filled swamps between Stornoway and Sandwick. They've been mixing up a mess of fuzztone-crazed garage psych, Link Wrayabilly and glacial post punk ever since, and taking their time about it. Their names are too long to fit in a Bandcamp bio ... more
