A dupla Pomplamoose, que você já conhece de posts passados, foi chamada pelo Ben Folds para fazer parte de seu novo disco e terminou colaborando na mesma faixa em que Nick Hornby declama uma letra falada. Eis a letra de “Things You Think”:

Smoke your little smoke
And drink your little drink
Try to make sense of the things that you think of

Did you know the Dickens invented 13,000 characters. 13,000 Characters. That’s a character a day for the whole of his working life. What have I done today. Dropped the kids off at school. Listened to the new National Album, played a stupid game on my computer. That’s why I’m not Dickens! Kids! Dickens’ wife would have done the school run. I’m all for families but its costing me my one shot of immortality

Smoke your little smoke
And drink your little drink
Try to make sense of the things that you think

Smoke your little smoke
And drink your little drink
Try to make sense of the things that you think

In 1450 there were about 100 new books published. Last year there were more than a million. A new book comes out every 30 seconds. It would take you 15 years just to read the titles of every book ever printed. You’re gonna watch TV tonight. Fair enough, I suppose!

Smoke your little smoke
And drink your little drink
Try to make sense of the things that you think

Smoke your little smoke
And drink your little drink
Try to make sense of the things that you think

Try to make sense of the things that you think of
Try to make sense of the things that you think of

Our universe consists of between of 30 to 50 billion trillion stars arranged in 80 to 140 billion galaxies. Our nearest neighboring star is called Proxima Centauri and its 4 light years away. We need some bread and its really hot outside I can’t be bothered to walk around the corner.

Smoke your little smoke
And drink your little drink
Try to make sense of the things that you think

Smoke your little smoke
And drink your little drink
Try to make sense of the things that you think

Try to make sense of the things that you think of
Try to make sense of the things that you think of
Try to make sense of the things that you think of
