Dense, tense and fierce in executuion, "Nonsense The Common Sense" is a hybrid of New Wave, Electro and Art Pop. Starting with an almost eerie vibe, a resonant bass is kicking in, propelled by a slamming beat, which evokes a Depeche Mode track of their darker period, but more relentless and less brooding. The chorus is even denser, driven by analogue synth stabs to the max. The lyrics are kind of surreal, but only as surreal as people's lifestyles, which can range from stingy to prodigal, from timid to boastful. There is no sense to one of them, it's only what you make of it.
lyrics
NONSENSE THE COMMON SENSE
Say Your Lifetime Can't Be Spent
In Glamorous Circumstances
(Then), Why You Come Cup In Hand?
Say Your Lifetime Can't Be Spent
In Hindsight Or Indifference
So, Why Save The Best For The End?
Nonsense The Common Sense!!!
While Me,
I Do The Funtimes
Walk In The Sunshine,
While You Have Been Digging The Dirt
For A Long Time
Me, I Do The Nightlines,
Get Down With The Nice Guys
While You Have Been Eager To Earn
Quarters And Dimes
Say Your Days Seem All Too Bland
Fall Prey To Melancholic Trances
Tied To The Experienced
Lethargic Impotence
No More Highlights, Can't Be Meant
With Prozac Or Amphetamines
Why Plagued With Expedience?
Nonsense The Common Sense!!!
While Me,
I Do The Funtimes
Walk In The Sunshine,
While You Have Been Digging The Dirt
For A Long Time
Me, I Do The Nightlines,
Get Down With The Nice Guys
While You Have Been Eager To Earn
Quarters And Dimes

If You're Looking For Company
There Is, Why Don't You Move It
If The Other Man's Grass Is Greener
Why Don't You Mowe It?
If You Want To Be My Apogee
Why Don't You Show It?
And If You Still Don't Know What This Means,
You Have To Blow It!
