I hadn't comprehended your desperation
Contemplation, leads to realisation
Maybe you didn't need those framed photos
Although those pictures of highs will go well with these lows
And so;
Dreamland welcomes you, don't protest
Especially as there's no trains until further notice
This will take between twelve and sixteen months
It's not fun, which is ironic as they call this dump
An;
Amusement arcade
But it's us that get played
To the system, we're slaves
Get me out of this place
I made mistakes, it's how I ended up here too
But I'll do what I can to save you, and your boy, it's true
I'll teach you things you may never have seen
Chicken tikka masala, now you're the curry queen
Those men might not be pimps, but they're damn near close
Stick a camera in your face whilst you take off your clothes, they know
You've no other options, that's why you even listened
A better life for you and your son is your only mission
Tried it once and you left
As you cried from the stress
To the system, we're slaves
I'll get you out of this place
Forget any costs 'cause now we're breaking free
If you forget all your fears and just trust me, you'll be
Hitching on the motorway to get back home
Just one last flight from London and then all you'll know
From this place will be a pile of memories
Mostly rotten, I'm sure, but I hope some good ones of me
You see, I know that I'll never forget you
You made Stonehaven less stoney for a while, it's true
The painting hangs on my wall
I just wish I had the wherewithal to know
To the system we're slaves
But I got you out of this place

about
The Organ Grinder's Monkey got together (remotely) with Cambridge-based pop singer Frank Fiott to create this double-A side single.
"Remember When" is a cover of a song from one of Animation Domination's Youtube videos www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0ygjD04vyU which in turn was inspired by "Kokuhaku" by Angela Aki.
"Last Resort" is based on the 2000 film of the same name from director Pawel Pawlikowski and heavily samples the Papa Roach song... of the same name.
Physical release also available over on the Aaahh!!! Real Records Bandcamp page:
music.real-records.co.uk/album/last-resort-remember-when

about
The Organ Grinder's Monkey Brighton, UK
The Organ Grinder’s Monkey is a musical collaboration between man and machine, an unholy alliance whose aim is to combine
indie-rocking guitars with glitchy lo-fi electro beats and a dash of retro 8-bit synth.
The duo consists of Ben Garnett: a human who sings and plays guitar, and Bill Murray: the laptop computer who provides the rhythmical backdrop for his organic counterpart.
