lyrics

Last

This will be the last day you wake up to
This will be the last time your eyes open
This will be the last moment you will stand
This will be the last time you take a walk
This will be the last time you take a drink
This will be the last taste of your choice foods
This will be the last time when you will think
This will be the last view reading the news

This will be the last time you see your friends
This will be the last time you see their face
This will be the last time you hug your cat
This will be the last trip to a great place
This will be the last time for reflection
Your imperfections
This will be the last day to have regrets
No turning back now
Life's many upsets
No changing that now

This will be the last kiss that you will give
This will be the last embrace you will get
This will be the last time that you will forgive
This will be the last time that you have met
This will be the last joyful orgasm
This will be the last moment of pleasure
This will be the last time you hit that drum
This will be the last time you see life's a blur

This will be the last time you see your mom
This will be the last time you see your dad
This will be the last watching that sitcom
This will be the last time that you get sad
This will be the last time you give a crap
This will be the last of daily routines
This will be the last time you take a nap
This will be the last time you eat your greens

What is there to fear (la la la la la - yes yes!)
When the end is near (la la la la la - yes yes!)
Is this really fate (la la la la la - yes yes!)
This is not too great (It isn’t up to us)

Things we do for pleasure and joy
Even the days that are routine
Comes a day to every girl and boy
When tomorrow will be left unseen
Our life cease existing, nil
Neither here or there, we're unaware
Time cannot be left so still
An end is something you cannot prepare

This will be the last time you will have sex
This will be the last time you will be held
This will be the last time at that address
This will be the last time when you have yelled
This will be the last time you take a flight
This will be the last time you cook your food
This will be the last time you reach this height
This will be the last time to be subdued

This will be the last time when you will sleep
This will be the last word you will murmur
This will be the last time that you will weep
This will be the moment when life is over

There will come a day
On our beds we lay
Life's final chapter closes
We look to one more view
All that's taken for granted
Ends in one instant flash
You have no choice
You have no choice
There is no advantage
To this disadvantage
When it’s all over

about

Surplus 1980 image

Surplus 1980 Oakland, California

Masterminded by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's Moe Staiano, Surplus 1980 is a whip-smart musical collective from Oakland, CA. Taking cues from the angular punk bands of the 1980s, Surplus 1980 fuses a fierce, muscular attack with experimental out-jazz and couples that with Staiano's playful lyrics, updating the angular rhythms of post-punk's old guard to a modern-day soundtrack of uneasy listening. ... more
