Thanks computer

"Thanks computer" is a B-side by The Gliding Faces featured on the maxi-single of "What we had". "Should it have a comma? Or is it like a stage direction. We may never know!" Dan has opinions. Max makes this no clearer: "'Thanks computer' talks about what technology means for us and how it's got its own vibe. Technology is a very prominent thing and we are eternally grateful for what it has done for us!"

Lyrics

I'm always at my Laptop
So addictive, I cant stop
In the café giving that look
Cappuccino and a Macbook

Computer
You take over while I rest
I'm confident you'll do your best
Computer
Will you pass the Turing test
The singularity dispossessed

The knowledge in my hand
Pumping from broadband
Always glued to my phone
I'll never feel quite so alone

Computer
You take over while I rest
I'm confident you'll do your best
Computer
Will you pass the Turing test
The singularity dispossessed
Computer
Computer

There's the latest tablet
Ooh, I’ll  have to have it
What is new is always old
This is the first phone to fold

Computer
Computer

Computer
You take over while I rest
I'm confident you'll do your best
Computer
Will you pass the Turing test
The singularity dispossessed
Computer
You take over while I rest
I'm confident you'll do your best
Computer
Will you pass the Turing test
The singularity dispossessed
