LUMP - Curse Of The Contemporary Lyrics






If you should be bored in California
I'm sure I'm not the first to warn ya
Don't read in too much to all the signs and turns
Keep your wits about you with your mind freedom

If you should be bored in California
I'm sure I'm not the last to warn ya
The natives scaled the mountains for the promise of the sea
But deem the land unworthy of the evidently

We salute the sun because
When the day is done
We can't believe what we've become
Something else to pray upon
And evidently
It's just another vanity
Another something to believe
The curse of the contemporary

We salute the sun because
When the day is done
We can't believe what we've become
Something else to pray upon
And evidently
It's just another vanity
Another something to believe
The curse of the contemporary

(Curse of the contemporary)

If you should be bored in California
I'm sure I'm not the first to warn ya
Don't read in too much to all the signs and turns
Keep your wits about you with your mind freedom

If you should be bored in California
I'm sure I'm not the last to warn ya
The natives scaled the mountains for the promise of the sea
But deem the land unworthy of the evidently

We salute the sun because
When the day is done
We can't believe what we've become
Something else to pray upon

We salute the sun because
When the day is done
We can't believe what we've become
Something else to pray upon
And evidently
It's just another vanity
Another something to believe
The curse of the contemporary

  15. B.... S....

    So i need an explanation on what the fuck this is aapposed to be about

  16. E.... ....

    seneye bu zamanlar boun kampüsünde bu şarkıyla dans edeceğim 15/11/18

  17. D.... C....

    This video is a marvel. Incredible. If I was 10 years younger I'd get into filmography and animation.

  18. J.... S....

    Gritty? Is that you?

  19. C.... J....

    fodaa-see!

  20. E.... M....

    He reminds me of Harry - the red guy from don't hug me I'm scared

  21. c.... c....

    Let's jack

  22. V.... E....

    a masterpiece I love this song sm

  23. I.... ....

    The fur moves so weird as if it was only rendered a few times per second and image morphing was used to transition one rendered picture into another.

  24. T.... ....

    I like the video and music a lot!

  25. P.... ....

    This is a ripoff of Love Will Tear Us Apart.

  26. I.... D....

    I could watch this video all day...freakin fantastic.

  27. J.... G....

    I adore Laura Marling but the first time I heard this I felt distinctly uncomfortable. Nothing, Not Nearly made me feel the same way.
    I love this now, I love to hear her doing something different and creative.

  28. B.... K....

    Let me restate, WTF? Impressive

  29. m.... w....

    Boss tune!! Boss vid!!!

  30. J.... D....

    CGI or real?

  31. E.... G....

    I don't know why this hasn't blown up.

  32. m.... i....

    A👏O👏T👏Y

  33. B.... K....

    Impressive

  34. S.... ....

    Heard this on a radio show on WBUR and HAD TO PURCHASE this music. Please come to Chicago SOON. I'll get tickets! ;-)

  35. P.... C....

    That ummm MONSTER! IMA GONNA HAVE AMAZING NIGHTMARES TONIGHT! FREAKY!

  36. D.... ....

    Is that suit real or mocap?

    D.... ....

    Its not a real suit and I think its mocap.

  37. K.... ....

    Nice "don't hug me i'm scared" cosplay

  38. A.... M....

    So this is what happens when you type in "Lump" when bored sitting on the toilet.
    I dig it.

  39. V.... P....

    Vc tá metida com droga Laura?

  40. C.... R....

    I'm not sure how dancing can be a mood, but this is.

  41. M.... ....

    Huge fan of Laura...
    Not a huge fan of lump.
    Hopefully it will grow on me with time. I like the music. I love Laura's voice. And it should work together. But so far, for me, I can't get into it. Makes me feel like an acid trip without the feels.

  42. D.... R....

    Does nobody else hear Alt-J in this? Matilda much... Cool tho

  43. P.... B....

    Would be better as an instrumental

  44. w.... ....

    Just so hypnotic and trippy! 😍
    Joni Mitchell on acid at a Grizzly Bear gig

  45. E.... G....

    Soo good <3

  46. G.... G....

    Great and incomparable. What a fundamental performance.
    Is this SWIRL or Duster XL. Let me be your dust grain.
    The music including vocals is nice and indeed reminiscent of Kate Bush.
    But the biggest thing is the dancing yeti.

  47. B.... G....

    This song brings me so much joy. Thank you. Will you come to Colorado please?

  48. W.... f....

    EWWWWWWWWW THATS anging

    W.... f....

    touchdabeef I’M GONNA BE SICK NOW

    W.... f....

    touchdabeef SO SCARY

    W.... f....

    touchdabeef and so fast ewwwww

  49. S.... P....

    A modern dance piece performed for Fashion Week in the Monsters Inc. universe.

  50. G.... T....

    Loving LUMP's sound. Little bit Cocteau Twins to my ear. Agree the vocals resemble Kate Bush. Some really great influences in there including Joy Division too IMO.

  51. K.... V....

    great song!

  52. A.... e....

    So old so young

  53. K.... H....

    The video is big copy of joji - demons ... Wow

  54. L.... C....

    Вот опять или снова пересматриваю это ролик или видео и мне все больше и больше нравиться этот чудик.
    Я поймала себя на мисли,что хочу с ним вот так без заботно потанцевать

  55. L.... C....

    Прикольный лохматик и танцует забавно😊
    Мне почему то и смешно и грустно
    Лора очень красиво спела.Как всегда удивляет меня

  56. h.... h....

    este estilo me hace moverme al estilo oscuro de la penumbra ... ME ENCANTA :3

  57. J.... S....

    It looks like Harry from Harry and the Hendersons movie (1987)

  58. T.... R....

    Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

  59. M.... B....

    Since when is the red dude from DHMIS doing music videos?

  60. S.... s....

    First lump song ive listened to and i have to say this is pretty good

  61. E.... D....

    I didn't like any of the other songs in this album, and thought I'd dislike this too, but it's probably my favorite song I've heard in a year. It shows how diverse and open minded these artists are.

  62. R.... ....

    This is beautiful.

  63. W.... G....

    I likes it my luvvers.

  64. w.... ....

    Love this!

  65. A.... o....

    Magical and beautiful.

  66. P.... S....

    Laura Marling is one of the most talented female songwriters of our times. Love this one and definitely very Thom Yorke-like.

  67. b.... s....

    So good!!

  68. D.... D....

    Think I loved the live version on Jools best... very addictive, like an earworm.

  69. b.... f....

    Blew me away when I first heard it on radio. Video is wild.

  70. J.... H....

    Sounds a lot like Connan Mockasin :)

  71. K.... M....

    How much of this is CGI? I'm conflicted.

    D.... C....

    Animation: Esteban Diacono
    , Mocap Talent: Emiliano Larea
    Pretty sure Emiliano danced in the set with green screen behind him and Esteban turned him to Yeti.

  74. J.... ....

    Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  75. G.... D....

    This is kind of beautiful and mesmerising.

  76. J.... S....

    Enjoyable track
    Made me look for it which is no mean feat

  77. P.... R....

    I'm working on getting this to 1 million plays, wish me luck

  78. D.... A....

    Possibly the greatest song ever written and performed. So magical.

  79. G.... S....

    awesome

  80. T.... ....

    projections or video wall for the background

  81. N.... M....

    Great.voice,great.vid....

  82. C.... S....

    Astounding. . Jools Holland live performance is much better. Love the guitar effect, beautiful bass, hypnotic drums and voice from heaven

  83. I.... R....

    Caught them on Jools Holland last night-Fantastic!

  84. P.... T....

    Synchronicity?...... Great performance on Later....with (the great)Jools Holland.

  85. l.... m....

    Smashing lumpkins

  86. P.... T....

    Beautiful song

  87. J.... L....

    How is this not blaring on all the radios Worldwide yet?!!

  88. m.... m....

    This isn't like Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell...its a song in it's own right.

  89. m.... s....

    Play on 1.25 speed

  90. o.... ....

    amazing, deserved of repeated listening over and over....

  91. R.... ....

    Holy shit! This is fantastic.

  92. S.... T....
