about

Wake Up, America by Blue-John Vs Quidgybopper + Sick Robot is a three-piece suite for breakfast clubbing back-to-the-futurists. Like E.T. sending out a cosmic message, they’ve gathered good bits of the 80s, and reassembled them.

lyrics

Trailblazer

The universe has a sense of humour,
and we are the punchline, the punchline, the punchline,
and we are the punchline, the punchline, the punchline,
on the breadline, the breadline.

I qualified for free school dinners,
but never partook of them.
I was too busy honing my ninjutsu moves.
Now, in the corner of the JCR,
I am reaching my apotheosis
on an arcade beat-‘em-up.
We’re taking it to the next level:
She and I are fighting side by side.
We’re taking it to the next level:
She is Cody, I am Guy.

She’s a trailblazer.
Nothing seems to faze her.
She’s a trailblazer—
the unconventional warrior
of my Metro City dreams.

She wears a leotard beneath her normal clothes.
What I wouldn’t give
for a dusting of her face glitter.
Later, I’ll write a sci-fi symphony for her
on my Bontempi organ.
There’s a cluster around us.
You see, we’re taking it to the next level:
She and I are fighting side by side.
We’re taking it to the next level:
She is Cody, I am Guy.

She’s a trailblazer.
Nothing seems to faze her.
She’s a trailblazer—
the unconventional warrior
of my Metro City dreams.

The universe has a sense of humour,
and we were the punchline, the punchline, the punchline,
and we were the punchline, the punchline, the punchline,
on the breadline, the breadline.

Those who made mixtapes
that never got played,
know that you are not alone.
You are not alone.
You are not alone.
