This is a song from one of my all time favourite bands. Yet when I mention them to almost anyone, the reply I nearly always get in return is "Who?" Fuzzbox, or to use their full name, We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It, were an all girl quartet that bagan back in the late 70's as an indie punk band with their first album. They then went on an extended tour of the states. When they returned in the late 80's, they released a second album entitled 'Big Bang', from which this song is taken. I loved those songs, still do. I've got them all on mp3 and listen to them regularly. Back in the day, I had the album on vinyl and I still have that record at my parents house.
The song itself is mildly tongue in cheek with its references to supposedly futuristic technology and customs. A shame there was no video made to accompany it, as the bands other videos are all really well made. I recently bought the groups compilation cd 'Look At The Hits On That!' which had a cd of the bands songs, but also a DVD of 9 of the groups superb videos.
Fast Forward Futurama by Fuzzbox
There you stood within the Kalamar
Drinking Mojo's from the Summer Bar
Now's the moment when you know you've got to
Strap the Spingles on
Switch the Isotron
We collided
Fast Forward Futurama
Give me your love tomorrow
Not just a cooler karma
Not just a thing to borrow
Fast Forward Futurama
Fast Forward Futurama
Reading text books on Polotomy
New sensations watching over me
Hidden meanings - now you know you've got to
Fix the Zulmarand
Take you by the hand
You confided
Fast Forward Futurama
Give me your love tomorrow
Not just a cooler karma
Not just a thing to borrow
Fast Forward Futurama
Fast Forward Futurama
At the Flowtell where they're stopping at
Dancing Tangos on the Spiromat
Leave in time because you know you've got to
Catch the Tele-Jet
Leave the Firmament
Unrequited...
Fast Forward Futurama
Give me your love tomorrow
Not just a cooler karma
Not just a thing to borrow
Fast Forward Futurama
Fast Forward Futurama
