Balance Lost

Life's pretty relaxed when you're a goat
Living in a kennel somewhere remote
People come to visit cos they want to go
Into the deep dark caves to see glow worms that glow

I went to see the dentist down Te Kuiti way
Cos I've got a sweet tooth starting to decay
She said you've gotta stop sucking Chupa Chups all day
But they're my favourite thing, man I said "No way!"

Everyone's got a weakness
Just gimme more of the sweetness
Everyone's got a weakness
I'll take it intravenous

I've got apple and lime, strawberry and cola
I can't stop licking lollies over and over
Til I got so much sugar I lost my composure
And the petting zoo keeper had to shut my enclosure
Oh no!

Everyone's got a weakness
Just gimme more of the sweetness
Everyone's got a weakness
Just gimme more of the sweetness

Oooh, cool panning. I’m listening on headphones now in random order, and had gone through a few songs before yours, and it was immediately evident how much better you were using the stereo field than the other tunes I had listened to--it’s lovely feeling enveloped in those beats and cheerful little synths. The vocals don’t sound as polished as the instrumentation--not terrible, but I mention it because it seems slightly mismatched as far as production values, particularly for the backing vocals where it would sound really nice to have them perfect and soaring. I love that little “oh no” though. Best song I’ve ever heard about a sugar-addicted goat from New Zealand--well, in my top 10, anyway. I’m glad you made the Chupa Chups reference, and this song is cute and charming, although a bit slight. I will have to check out your alternative mix after I’ve finished up the reviews!
