Samples / Lyrics

 That tiny room at the beach was absolutely the perfect place for my first time. When we came together, I could feel the hairs growing on my chest. I saw my future. I saw my past. For a few minutes it was like being alive and they live happily ever after. All my questions had been answered. And all my fears disappeared. All that was left was... the kiss. Every move we made was a kiss.[1]

Trivia

  • "Sir Prancelot Brainfire" uses a full excerpt of the Piccadilly Players version of Sir Prancelot[2][3], a theme song of the cartoon The Adventures of Sir Prancelot. It has an added synth line throughout, and includes a sample of a monologue found in the adult film "Summer of '72" during the "Camberwick Green"[4] middle eight section of the excerpt[5][6]. The same monologue sample is used in "Sixtyniner".
