Sweep slides on my stereo
Short wave ride my rodeo
Became from that of Savalon
But I'm flyin' to Istanbul
Oh, so why don't you meet me there?

There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in lucid dreams
Lucid dreams, I'm livin' in lucid dreams
I'm livin' on shortwave streams tonight

Well, I'll dial Alexandria
If you dial into Ithaca
South Fisher, German bite
I skate on the world tonight
Oh, so why don't you come along?

There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in lucid dreams
Lucid dreams, I'm livin' in lucid dreams
I'm livin' on shortwave streams tonight

I'm gonna give my aimless love
My angry heart, my desire
I woke with wings from lucid dreams
I knew the reason I felt hollow
Was it I may never know
If there is some great truth or not

There is no nation of you, there is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in lucid dreams
Lucid dreams, I'm livin' in lucid dreams
I'm livin' on shortwave streams tonight

Lucid dreams, I'm livin' on lucid dreams
Now there is just plain mystery

Well, F F would be so much better if every song did not sound the same. Good sound but monotonous and tedious. Like a more up Mazzy Star

This has to be the first ever song I've heard which namechecks the BBC Shipping Forecast. FF do have a deserved reputation for being intellectual and a bit hoity-toity - their lead singer, Alex Whatshisname, wrote a regular column for the Guardian (liberal UK broadsheet) for a while. Good noise, though - 7 from the Nottingham jury.

Is this what Zappa would sound like if he'd gone commercial?



 

{#Lol}  Zappa......go commercial......thanks for the laugh!

Did you ever hear his Remington Electric Razor commercial?

Not bad, has a funky beat to it.

They can certainly get a grinding groove going but the lyrics are throwaway fluff.  Bought their last CD, listened to it a couple of times and then traded it in.  Didn't hold up to repeated listens at all.

To me, this track moves them somewhat beyond just the club scene. Very danceable, but with more meat behind the lyrics.
 
Just bumped it up a rating for the lyrics. Really liking this track.

Funktastic.

Impressed - for me it intrigues in the same way as The Arctic Monkeys, which is definitely a good thing. Sounds like FF have the chops to become a longer term success than I'd first thought. Covering my bet I'll just say that this might be the only good track on the album, though!

well said, and my thoughts exactly...  and solidly.

Will FF have a longer shelf-life than, say, The Strokes? (I hope so.)

Not familiar with Zappa, but it is a good song. Looking forward to the release of their new album!
