Summer holiday having fun
Happiness is between two buns
Feeling funky on a rolling boil
Smiles bend all over
Can't control how I feel
It's just you and me now
Round of Kiminos for my girls in the sun
Sending videos to friends in London
Strut like Stellan Skarsgard to and from the bar, playin' my
Candied tangerine Telecaster
It's just you and me now
Two hot palms pressing down on my face
Dragged by my sockets to a better place
Flashing in the dark my luminescent tongue
Summer holiday having fun
It's just you and me now
Hanging on to the memory of that day for the rest of my life
I could hang off the memory of this day for the rest of my life
Doing pull-ups off the memory of this day for the rest of my life
Falling through a sinkhole
Like sitting on a birthday cake
Triggered by that scene in Mullholland Drive
Merry, merrier, happier, heavier

Thanks RP for exposing me to alt-J ... would otherwise never ever bumped into them and that would be a waste. Refreshing and what a perfect album this is. Love it 
Just saw them live for the first time in Chicago. They are really impressive, I encourage you see the tour if you are so inclined.

Except for the 'Not my cup of tea' part, I had the same thought last night when Radio Paradise played alt -J's 'Something Good', which was released 10 YEARS ago in 2012.
Was disappointed to see so many neg comments for 'Something Good', and same today for 'U & Me'.
This Band is as refreshingly original and creative today as they were 10 years ago.
Perhaps they're just not 'eclectic' enough for the Pink Floyd fanatics.

Some people prefer to "hate listen".

This is not my cup of tea. BUT I give them credit for being original and coming up with something that doesn't sound like every other song out there today. Respect.

Discovered Alt-J ‘cos of RP.
Very grateful.
"happines is between two buns." Something tells me he's not just thinking of hamburgers and hot dogs, or maybe...
Alt-J has a few stinkers but also some great songs, this included.
Also just read this on some random site: "Alt-J is also a band that got their name from a shortcut originally used to create the Greek letter delta (Δ) on an Apple computer."
Been really diggin' this new album. The 3 tracks on RP are great examples.
thanks RP
these guys have truly gone interstellar
listening to them makes me feel like I am in my early twenties trying to figure out MUSIC. They confuse me in the best way, I can not possibly give this album a higher compliment. WOW

"Happiness is between two buns" - clearly someone's enjoying his hot dog :)
Sounds almost like what we'd hear if Beck put out a pop flavored album in 2022, in a good way.
Never cared a whole lot for Alt J but I think they're growing on me.
Bumping this up to a solid 8.
Cool dream.
I want a candied tangerine telecaster and I want one now!!!
LOVE this album! Can’t stop listening to it. And it’s all RP’s fault. 🙏
"Strut like Stellan Skarsgard to and from the bar, playin' my

Between these lyrics and the album cover, I think my mind is blown.

Love Alt-J 
Good tune! I never heard of them before. ...Thank You RP!

At the very least, no one can argue that they are producing some pretty unique stuff. Love being challenged...and LLRP!
