Kero Kero Bonito - Dump Lyrics






Show the man a pass
Everything you've got
Put it where he points and
Throw it all on top
Hear the crunching beneath the junk let go
A parrot cage and dial phones

Blue for small electrics, microwaves in here
Television pieces in a rusty skip
But be careful if you brought chemicals
They've got a place especially for those

And there's always a busy crowd around
People come from all over town (over town)
Dropping off the things that they no longer need to keep

Everybody's collage stacking up the wall
When the sun is out, the scent gets pretty tall
But the site operators don't care much
They're looking forward to their lunch

And when we fill it up
A lorry comes and drags it on the tarmac
Somewhere far from here
So when they let us in at 6 A.M
The spaces are empty again

And there's always a busy crowd around
People come from all over town (over town)
Dropping off the things that they no longer need to keep

Kero Kero Bonito Dump Comments
  1. I.... ....

    Shaping up to be my favorite kkb song (despite some of their albums being virtually incomparable)

  2. b.... t....

    All the food is poison

  3. Y.... D....

    Te quiero mucho Sara y esta canción siempre me va recordar a tí uwu

  4. C.... O....

    This is a better pair with Tame Impala's song, It's Meant to Be

  5. a.... ....

    i love how the start of the song sounds like a nursery rhyme along w/ this sick drum beat

  6. j.... ....

    This song smells like dirt after rain and looks like an overcast day.

  7. B.... D....

    the thumbnail reminds me of bakemonogatari

  8. E.... T....

    The riff at 1:05 has been stuck in my head for days. It's just amazing

    E.... T....

    same same

  9. E.... ....

    I swear this song does something to my feelings.

  10. F.... ....

    Waiting for someone to make a Ghibli movie AMV with this.

  11. S.... B....

    I get vague Portishead vibes from this song.

  12. H.... ....

    rainy day

  13. D.... ....

    You do not spark joy - The song

  14. s.... ....

    Whoa, XTC right?!

  15. A.... A....

    I came from Miles heizer Instagram ❤️

  16. M.... C....

    One of my favorite tracks on a fantastic album, keep it up KKB!

  17. B.... D....

    Damn, how can you even dislike this track?? I mean, c'mon!!

  18. B.... �....

    Flamingo

  19. L.... L....

    This song has a late 2000's down tempo vibe to it. It's almost like I'm listening to Recloose or HolyGhost! Which is not what I expect from Kkb at all. I love tho

  20. s.... a....

    this song is so nostalgic. Reminds me of a gorillaz song

  21. D.... ....

    Welp, you know where you'll find me, just a thing they no longer need to keep

  22. _.... S....

    50k views fighting! We can do it!

  23. l.... ....

    Anyone else listen to this while taking a dump?

  24. D.... ....

    Kero Kero is so cool :(

    I love the synth on this song that sounds like squeezing syrup out of a bottle

  25. N.... u....

    best track imo

  26. H.... M....

    i think i like this one the most. it's grey skies and a muddy, clangy racket off in the distance somewhere. i loved the dump when i was a kid, i used to collect old keyboards and electronics and crack them open when i got home to learn how they worked. and i hear that vibe really clearly in the song itself and it brings me back to happy times

  27. L.... D....

    My grandma used to sing this to me when I was little

    L.... D....

    Lewis Davis hol' up

    L.... D....

    なんてこったい?!

    L.... D....

    I’m sorry wut lmao

  28. f.... h....

    -,- kkb lost identity

    f.... h....

    Nah. KKB is as unique as ever on here.

  29. A.... N....

    this shit slaps harder than david504 on bass

  30. s.... s....

    I love this

  31. c.... O....

    Hey, I wanted to use a small portion of this song in a video. Would I be allowed? (Credit will be given)

  32. J.... S....

    This sounds like a "horror" vocaloid song

  33. E.... L....

    Can't believe this was Anthony's least favorite track

    E.... L....

    @Mister Man There's not a "wrong" man, it's music

    E.... L....

    @Meese That's why it's so shocking he always manages to do it

    E.... L....

    There are no bad tracks on the album!! But I rarely listen to the last one all the way through...

    E.... L....

    Def my fav on the album

    E.... L....

    I wasn't fond of it until recently.

  34. k.... ....

    who is that one dislike???

  35. s.... 0....

    Some of it sounds like a creepy nursery rhyme that I can't remever the name of

  36. A.... ....

    u wrong antnee

  37. g.... ....

    i think its just me but those bass sounds really makes me anxious...

    g.... ....

    I'm thinking it's because this song may be a metaphorical way of describing the difficulty of throwing away objects that no longer serve a purpose and have become a burden, but still hold significant sentimental value. A specific example in the lyrics to support this would be the "parrot cage". This is essentially Sarah having to go to the dump to throw away her parakeet's bird cage and realizing that everyone else is doing the same, throwing away the physical objects that once held value and memories.

  38. J.... H....

    This sounds like the theme song to a BBC crime drama

  39. A.... ....

    My favorite song from Time n Place. I mean, Bonito Generation is still life, but this song is good.

  40. T.... U....

    Where da Japanese?

    T.... U....

    doesn't fit the genre they were going for i figure. Also guessing most of it's fanbase only speaks english so the japanese can seem kinda gimmicky like that.

  41. G.... P....

    That one dislike is Fantano.

    G.... P....

    That pfp though.

  42. D.... G....

    I like the full 30 seconds of ambience at the end

  43. E.... R....

    My faves on Time 'n' Place:
    Only Acting
    Time Today
    If I'd Known
    Dump (that amazing transition into Make Believe)
    Make Believe

    E.... R....

    I have the exact same favourites lol

    E.... R....

    I think that time today is better than only acting sure only acting as that feeling o insanity (my opinion btw) but time today just makes a great start to an amazing album.

  44. M.... G....

    Reminds me of a menu song to one of those slightly unsettling but cute games.

  45. L.... ....

    I wonder if it was intentional that "and dial phones" sounds really similar to "and all your thoughts"

    L.... ....

    Glad I saw this comment. I'm just realizing that this song may be a metaphor for therapy.

  46. T.... S....

    The end credits of before dawn

  47. b.... ....

    Pull up to your house and DUMP, like a trashman.

    b.... ....

    bmwx3turbo wow I actually laughed

    b.... ....

    WHERE THE CASH AT

    b.... ....

    bmwx3turbo MURDA MAN

  48. T.... H....

    this song gives me an overwhelming sense of nostalgia, probably one of my favorites off time n' place.

  49. M.... K....

    We need
    We recieve
    They Feed
    Musical eats
    Grand feats
    Intellectual beats
    No yeets
    all treats <3

  50. n.... ....

    im weak

  51. F.... ....

    I swear that sound at 1:09 was sampled from Zoothorns on HEALTH and that whole album is sick

  52. A.... F....

    the"riff" starting at 1:05 sounds preety close to lonesome street by blur (at 2:52 ) wonder if they like damon's work.

  53. S.... ....

    the bit about the parrot cage is so sad

    S.... ....

    Especially when you realize that Sarah's parakeet passed on prior to this album. The videos for this album and their live shows still feature an animatronic parakeet.

  54. I.... D....

    Está buena

  55. I.... ....

    Awesomeness

  56. A.... D....

    Reminds me of Broadcast

  57. b.... ....

    never thought i'd almost cry listening to a song about trash being thrown away

    b.... ....

    It's hard to throw away things that may have played a significant part in your life at one time. Those objects still hold your memories, but are simply garbage to anyone else.

    b.... ....

    Yeah thats me.

  58. E.... ....

    Kkb come to brazil

  59. A.... T....

    I love these thumbnails fuck

  60. F.... M....

    Excited for the KKB future on polyvinyl 🖤

  61. N.... u....

    literal fucking masterpiece

  62. L.... R....

    best song on the album

  63. C.... C....

    I love KKB... But I almost feel like a few layers of sound could be scraped off for a leaner, tighter result. It's like going to the dump... You have to dig through the layers to get to what's valuable to you. Problem is, I can"t peel off the parts that annoy me. Just like real life, I suppose. I just feel like I'm having to work hard to like this, and I don't want to have to work that hard. But I support you guys as you sort yourselves out. :)

    C.... C....

    I feel the same way. Im not in love with their music, but I like it enough, and also dont have anything else i like rn, That i keep coming back to it

    C.... C....

    I came back today and re-listened to this song... It almost sounds like it's been re-mastered since I heard it originally. I remember the vocals being so buried in everything I couldn't make out the lyrics. That seems to have changed, or maybe my ears have adjusted to the sound? At any rate, this song is growing on me...

    C.... C....

    Honestly I agree, but I feel like the sound is intentional. I like how it’s a little off.

  64. C.... L....

    Not even 24 hours since they released the album and this is already one of my favorite songs of the year

  65. c.... ....

    Starting my October great! Thanks KKB 🙏🏻

  66. L.... ....

    Dang you are just great guys!

  67. F.... G....

    Beautiful interpretation

  68. B.... ....

    This is so good, I'm loving the new stuff

    Thanks so much KKB

  69. o.... ....

    KKB meets Gorillaz.

    o.... ....

    Bonitoz

    o.... ....

    That was an actually good portmanteu. I hope I spelled that right.

    o.... ....

    RIP Death Grips

  70. P.... w....

    kkb gets even more fantastic... Now it is more as poetry.
    The form is 6,6,3,6,6,3 alternating the rymes.. ABACBD, ABACAB, ABABCC
    Cool patterns

    P.... w....

    That guy in your pic is shinmen takezo right?

  71. P.... c....

    SLAY QUEEN SLAY!!!!!!!

  72. W.... ....

    I like this music

  73. Z.... ....

    Reminds me of Guest List by Eels.

  74. D.... B....

    I think you perfected your new style in this song ❤️

  75. T.... S....

    To be honest, this song is better than any of the other songs you've dumped within the same hour.

  76. S.... ....

    This is depressing I love it

  77. W.... ....

    Can’t wait for Fantano to look over this album

    W.... ....

    Issa hate(8)

    W.... ....

    He gave it an 8. Ironically this is his least favorite track.

    W.... ....

    Yeah, and this song ended up being my favorite from the album. I understand why he didn't like it as much, the song could have used something more to it. But I just love the softness of it and flow.

    W.... ....

    decent 8 lads

  78. W.... a....

    I'm early again

  79. D.... ....

    So disappointing.

    D.... ....

    The song is most likely a metaphor for therapy if that helps make it worth another listen

    D.... ....

    Josh Smith it’s just not what I was looking for. The world is already so grey the last thing I wanted from this band was a sad album. I should give it all another chance but it’s just too downtrodden for me.

    D.... ....

    Yeah I feel that

  80. B.... M....

    Outubro rosa de prevenção ao câncer de mama

  81. #.... e....

    Omg i love this song!!!!!!!

  82. X.... ....

    ULTRA BOP

  83. B.... B....

    This sounds like the type of music you put on at night in a city while the moon shines down after a long day

    B.... B....

    Or after a long day at school, plopping down on your bed, and staring at the ceiling while this plays.

    B.... B....

    That was literally me right now😯

    B.... B....

    @EpicShibe XD music like this pleaseee

    B.... B....

    It sounds like the type of music that you play over a montage of a group of characters exploring japan until the sun sets and two of said characters secretly have feelings for each other and it’s all a very tender moment

  84. B.... B....

    Sleep? HAHA

  85. _.... S....

    KKB fighting!

  86. M.... ....

    Can't wait until you're in SF, KKB!

    M.... ....

    MiscInvasion I’m going to the sf show in October I’m so pumped 😭😭😭

  87. F.... F....

    Kero Kero Bonito < Superorganism < Half Japanese Band (https://youtu.be/DTgmeDHxXQs)

  88. S.... ....

    I respect it

  89. I.... S....

    KKB: Ultra Mission

  90. M.... M....

    This feels like Ending Credits Music or Starting Credits music or Montage Music or like a Murder Scene Music

    M.... M....

    That escalated quickly

  91. J.... J....

    I'm early?!

  92. z.... ....
