Interlude 1 09:00

Teo and Toulis together
 Tell me where have they been I’ve been searching forever Throughout the Wembley Scene

 Teo and Toulis forever We’ve lost their tracks again
 And now the spaceship is lonely
 But we do not forget

 Teo and Toulis together
 the unbreakable bond
 the unbreakable bond
 Teo and Toulis forever

 Now the times are a-changing
 And Teo and Toulis are not together anymore
 But they will soon be reunited
 with Woody and Woody and more

 And today’s world seems so fucked
 Plagued by war and loads of meurls So people ought to learn 
 From this great friendship of Teo and Toulis, yes indeed so
 So we thank you Teo and Toulis for we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you
 But now we must go on, ‘cause we’re searching

 Woody, where have you been? The army is fucking shit

Eggulator 04:35
Fucking Eggulator I hope you burn in hell
 Fucking Eggulator
 I know it’s too sad man I hate your lesson
 and I hate your face
 Fucking Eggulator
 you’re a goddamn disgrace

 You like putting people down
 Every single day
 Fucking Eggulator
 That’ll be enough of that mate

 You make me sick
 All the marks you pass away
 Mothaflippin’ Eggulator
 Why don’t you call it a day
7.
R&M 03:42
Oh, where are you now
 You promised me you were going to be on my TV for season 3, but you haven’t delivered yet
 (What the fuck?) I need your adventures in my life
 Come back to me
 And the truth is that we’ve missed you

 We thought we had more time to record our ode to you We thought we had the time
 But the first episode was released out of the blue (April Fool’s)
 And every time I think of it, I think of you

 Rick and Morty forever 

 Woody, where have you been? The army is fucking shit

Honeydale 04:13
I ain’t got no money I ain’t got no soul
 My, my poor baby left me all alone So travelling seems like an option
 Since down there everybody’s gone
 And now I’m up here with my P.
 And we’ll keep going on and on and on

 Honeydale be long

 From Nottingham to Athens
 From Earth to Venus and to the Sun
 Our melodies will travel further Since we’ll keep going on and on and on
 Oh! So, Honeydale be long

about

Whisky for the Astronauts is made up of songs that were written over the past 3 or 4 years, purely for fun. These songs were then recorded and later mixed in glorious 5.1 surround format as well as in stereo format as the basis for George Markakis’s dissertation.
Now, this record is available to all.


Enjoy!


With love,
Gregs, P, and George.
