The opening track for TMBG’s 2021 album BOOK, “Synopsis for Latecomers” is a satire of townhalls and press conferences, where instead of the expected boring and procedural questions we get a series of increasingly absurd happenings that are juxtaposed with the blasé attitude of an overworked bureauc...
[Verse 1]
For everyone who only just arrived
A quick synopsis
If you came late and missed the commotion
And you wonder what was all that
Here's the recap
Sound of gathering and shuffling of notes
I assure you there's a very simple explanation
If you'd only be patient
[Chorus]
Okay, you're asking how container ships were found
Abandoned in the desert sands, covered in snakes
And who composed the ransom note
And taped it to the face of the equеstrian monument?
[Verse 2]
You'll get your answers all in duе time
I know you've all been wondering
About the plaintive moaning
Emanating from the forest every evening
[Bridge]
I know the question that is foremost in your thoughts
Who ate the babies?
Who ate the babies?
[Chorus]
All we can say right now is that we're taking all conceivable
Protective means to secure this area
In particular with reference to the worrisome volcano that
Emerged beneath us overnight
[Verse 3]
That's all the questions that time will permit
I'm afraid we'll have to leave it right there
Be assured that there's nothing more that can be done
That's all the questions that time will permit
I'm afraid we'll have to leave it right there
Be assured that there's nothing more that can be done
[Outro]
Doo-doo-lee-doo-doo-lee-doo-doo-lee-doo
Doo-doo-lee-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-lee-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-lee-doo-doo-lee-doo-doo-lee-doo
Doo-doo-lee-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-lee-doo-doo
Woah
