Because the robot voices can be hard to understand, I thought it would be good to post the lyrics along with some commentary about the words for each song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robot Sex<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The lyrics were constructed – I created a list of words with the trans- prefix that I felt described some aspect of robot sex; that became the chorus. Then I wrote one lyric line for each trans- word, and that\u2019s the verse structure – first verse line matches first chorus trans- word. I got the idea while reading the latest Eno biography, need I say more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juice slides through my membrane
Carries my soul over to you
I see it through the translucent brain
Bio computer protein blue
Transudation
Transmigration
Transillumination
Transamination
Two logical systems intertwine
Surpassing our individual selves
A next generation probe spline
Engaged in forever delves
Transactional
Transcendental
Transgenerational
Transhistorical
We migrate from state to state
We multiply our existence
Change our form through our plate
As hydraulics witness
Transhumance
Transvaluation
Transmogrification
Transcutaneous<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funk da Bot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This started as a funk song. Lots of allusions to digital equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New code\u00a0on a rainy day
Plug in\u00a0turn me on
Freon\u00a0freeze the circuit board
Spun up\u00a0disk is on
Circuit, circuit
Funk da bot, baby
Funk da bot, oh yeah
Funk da bot, baby
Funk da bot, oh yeah
Roll down\u00a0to the local pub
Drink high-octane juice
Robot\u00a0is the center fold
Kink Is\u00a0on the loose
Circuit, circuit
Funk da bot, baby
Funk da bot, oh yeah
Funk da bot, baby
Funk da bot, oh yeah
Invest in some\u00a0power grub
Oil up\u00a0drip some lube
Power is\u00a0the Midas touch
Turn on rev\u00a0it up
Circuit, circuit
Funk da bot, baby
Funk da bot, oh yeah
Funk da bot, baby
Funk da bot, oh yeah<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symbolic Locution<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This song came to me in complete sections. I knew from the start it would be a sad song about a robot seeking connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel it, I feel it
The heartbeat
Everyone’s talking, not to me
Ostracized
Categorized
Let me tell you who I am
Metal rhythm drives me mad
Hydraulic fluid pumping, lubing
Servos sync we beat as one
We penetrate each other
You’re in<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
