General Tommy the Astronaut

from Music from the Heaven on Top of Heaven by Kingdom of Not

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    "Bizarre and playful. Psychedelic and indulgent. Hyper and Unique. Creative and poppy at once. The songs are silly little jaunts that somehow stimulate the mind and the ears while not taking themselves too seriously. The band is fun without apologies, but also strangely progressive and experimental." - COMMODITY FETISH RECORDS MAGAZINE

    “With lyrics befitting Captain Beefheart, Andre Breton, and/or Daevid Allen, there is nothing else I know of out there like Kingdom of Not, and consequently, impossible to classify.” – STEVE MECCA/ CHAIN D.L. K.

    "For a moment, suspend disbelief, and imagine you are in a room with a number of the following characters: Tiny Tim / “Weird Al” Yankovic / Ann Magnussen and Kramer of Bongwater / Spinal Tap / Tim Burton / David Lynch / David Byrne / Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh / Flaming Lip’s Wayne Coyne / Camper van Beethoven / Carl Stalling / Damon Albarn. This album may be the result of such a composition of individuals and performance enhancing substances… or not. Musically satirical, lyrically clever. With delivery full of puns and fun! Poppy-silly-demented get your goof-on and kook out rhythms." - KFJC SAN JOSE/DJ MISTER S

lyrics

Big red dwarf
And big black hole
Light years come
And epochs go.

In the universe
You got all kinds of stuff
From Saturn's rings
To Martian dust

You got Pluto cold
And Mercury hot
And General Tommy
The astronaut!

General Tommy
The astronaut!
His mother's womb
Is his favorite spot

His eyes don't see
The supernova pop
In the darkness of
His mother's twat.

Light years come
And epochs go
But he's very,
Very happy
In his mother's hole.

Bop, bop
Bob-ba-de
Bop-bop...

And it don't
Mean nothin' that
He can't see.

No, it don't
Mean nothin' that
He can't see.

Oh, it don't mean
Nothin' that
He can't see.

'Cause mother's heart
Is close to thee.

Mother's heart
Is close to thee.

Oh, mother's heart
Is close to thee.

Ou-waa, Ou-waa
Ou-waa, ou-waa...

Look he's flying!

Ou-waa, Ou-waa
Ou-waa, ou-waa.

Wheee!

His eyes don't see
The supernova pop
In the darkness
Of his mother's twat

Light years come
And epochs go
But he's very, very
Happy in his mother's hole.

Ou-waa, Ou-waa
Ou-waa, ou-waa.

Ou-waa, Ou-waa
Ou-waa, ou-waa.
