Gotye - State of the art lyrics

rate me

When the Cotillion arrived

We threw out the television

Model D 575

Has custom flute presets

And Harmony-Plus in addition

When the Cotillion arrived

We get three half-dozen beats to choose from

So now we can pretend

That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom

I put the Genie Bass on

So my left hand can play the choir

With 16ft Diapason

And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer

Banjo's great on repeat

The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient

The wife can't help tapping her feet

It's a genuine home entertainment revelation

State of the art

(Hold the phone, it's so)

State of the art

[Listen to the difference!]

(Oh my god, it's so)

State of the art

[By use of a computer]

State of the art

Now we don't want to go out

When we could spend the night at home with the

Cotillion

Invite the neighbours around

Start the bossanova beat and limbo from the living

to the kitchen

Enjoy the state of the art

The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding

even better than the real thing

State of the art

(Hold the phone, it's so)

[Computer controlled tone colour]

State of the art

[The marriage of music to computers is quite natural]

(Oh my god, it's so)

State of the art

[It is time to hear the results]
