About

This track off of Gotye’s third album was inspired by when Gotye’s parents once gave him a second-hand Lowrey Cotillion electric organ as a gift. This song intensely describes the innovative features of the organ, like an advertisement written at the time of the instrument’s commercial popularity in...

State of the Art Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
When the Cotillion arrived
We threw out the television
Model D-575 has custom flute presets
And Harmony-Plus in addition
Now for an arm and a leg
We get three half-dozen beats to choose from
So now we can pretend
There's an orchestra in the lounge room

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
State, state, state, state of the art (State of the art)
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art (Listen to the difference)
State, state, state, state of the art (By use of a computer)
(Oh my God, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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
Now we can't tell them apart
But these amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing

[Chorus]
State, state, state, state of the art (State of the art)
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art (Computer controlled tone colour)
State, state, state, state of the art (The marriage of music to computers is quite natural)
(Oh my God, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art (It is time to hear the results)

[Outro]
Hold the phone, it's so
Oh my God, it's so
(Incidentally, on the track you just heard, there were no keyboard performances)
(Just the occasional pressing of buttons)
