Gotye - State Of The Art Lyrics

When the Cotillion arrived
We threw out the television
Model D 575
Has custom flute presets
And Harmony Plus in addition

Now for an arm and a leg
We get three half dozen beats to choose from
So now we can pretend
That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom

I put the Genie Bass on
So my left hand can play the choir
With 16ft Diapason
And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer

Banjo's great on repeat
The kids want to play
But they'll have to be patient
The wife can't help tapping her feet
It's a genuine home entertainment revelation

State, state, state, state of the art
State of the art
Hold the phone, it's so
State, state, state, state of the art
Listen to the difference
State, state, state, state of the art
By use of a computer
Oh my God, it's so
State, state, state, state of the art

Now we don't want to go out
When we could spend the night
At home with the Cotillion
Invite the neighbours around
Start the bossanova beat and limbo
From the living to the kitchen

Enjoy the state of the art
The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding
Now we can't tell them apart
But these amazing simulations end up
Sounding even better than the real thing

State, state, state, state of the art
State of the art
Hold the phone, it's so
State, state, state, state of the art
Computer controlled tone colour
State, state, state, state of the art
The marriage of music
To computers is quite natural
Oh my God, it's so
State, state, state, state of the art
It is time to hear the results

Hold the phone, it's so
Oh my God, it's so
