Gorillaz Are Ten - Spotify Radio Show 3 (1)

You've got the person on you
You're just thinking that's what you do, baby
Hold it down there

Jump in the mall and the room dead
Jump back and forth
They feel like you within yourself
Working out

You've got the person on you
You're just thinking that's what you do, baby
Hold it down there

Jump in the mall and the room dead
Jump back and forth
They feel like you within yourself
Working out

So I guess that was the second album done and dusted
Demon Days was all finished up
We did one more single off there, El Maniana
Which featured maybe our finest video to date
The one in which the inflatable island from Feel Good Ink
Got all shot up and blown out of the sky
Noodle that's actually been shot up with him
High drama indeed
It's a spectacular image
Really?

Go check it out online if you haven't seen it
I think it's the only time I've definitely actually got away with murder
And it was all on film
Anyway, we hadn't really toured the album
Played a little run of concerts at a tiny dive club called the Manchester Opera House
And brought with us a few of the guests in showbiz personalities we'd had on the record
Rootsmanuva, Martina Topplebird, Aiky Old Turner, The Dillersoles
That Sean Ryder, five-star lineup

And that went so well
We played a five-night run at New York's legendary Harlem Apollo
In April 2006 to sign off on it
We had all the guests again there
But were joined also by Mr. Dennis Hopper, which gave the evening an extra wow factor
A star-studded gala event indeed
And a phantasmic gore of sounds, colors, and assaults on the senses
We brought the house down almost literally
I think my bass was on 13 that night, the roof almost caved in

But once the door slammed shut on Gorillaz that evening, for me, that was it
I was sick of the sight and smell of the whole band
I just wanted to have a lost weekend
Somehow I managed to string it out for about three years
That's when the real trouble started
It's amazing what fun you can get up to
The Coot's credit card and a great big bottle of absinthe
Here's Eugene McGinnis's new single, Lion, it's out on December the fifth, I believe
Put this in your tank and smoke it
