    A very cute cardboard sleeve with an adorable design by Rebecca L Stewart inspired by re-imagining the band as pre-loved teddy bears.

    These five tracks were recorded live at 3PBS FM's infamous Studio 5 during The Offtopics "Back on the Zine" campaign. The band were invited into the studio by legendary Melbourne Soul DJ Vince Peach and played the following songs:

    1. Kiss Me It's For Science
    2. Stepping Out
    3. A Man Needs Coolin'
    4. Funky Grandma
    5. Sunrise in Richmond

    Because this was all done live at the radio station there are some quirks of performance which we sincerely hope you'll enjoy!

lyrics

A Man Needs Cooling
(Words and music: Larsen)

(Slow sexy spoken intro)
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 repeat
Hey girl.
I’m a Saggitarian so I have to be honest.
It’s the way I’m made. It’s who I am…
And when you look at me…
I can believe
You like what you see.
And it’s not that I feel blasé
But I have a very VERY pressing matter to take away.

Verse section
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 F Gm7 Bb
Girl… I’ve been looking at you from across the room
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 F Gm7 Bb
From the corner of my eye so I wouldn’t look crude
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 F Gm7 Bb
But when you looked at me I got a little bit nervous.
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7
Girl… When a man likes what he sees his temperature climbs a hundred degrees

F Gm7 Bb Ebmaj7
He needs coolin

Girl… I was breaking out in a sweat I just had to get my throat wet
I needed water to quench the fires you lit in me.

I am burning.

Girl… When you looked away I got me a two gallon jar and I drank it all down.
And I believe it got steamy

Oh So Steamy

Girl…. Now you’re approaching me as I’m turning to flee. There’s a man I have to see about a dog

In the men’s room.

(Pre-chorus)
Ebmaj7
Girl… There’s a question in your eye. What’s up with this guy?
Bbmaj7 (last chord comp x 5)
What is he doing?



Chorus
No chord Eb Bb
I’m trying to be cool while my bladder is full
Bb Eb Bb
I’m jiggling my thighs while meeting your eyes
Bb Eb F
It’s a hop to the left a slide to the right
Ab Bb
Like I’m dancing I’m dancing I’m dancing Alright!

Bridge
Ab Bb
Mmmmm…. This queue ain’t getting no shorter.
Ab Bb
Oooohhh….. Why did I drink so much water?
Ab Bb
Ahhhhhh…. I got to keep it nice.
Ab Bb
Ooooohhh… I got to hold it tight! (or you’ll leave)

Chorus x 2 as outro to end.
I’m trying to be cool
While my bladder is full
I’m jiggling my thighs
While meeting your eyes
It’s a hop to the left
A slide to the right
Like I’m dancing I’m dancing I’m dancing Alright!

I’m trying to be cool
While my bladder is full
I’m jiggling my thighs
While meeting your eyes
It’s a hop to the left
A slide to the right
Like I’m dancing I’m dancing I’m dancing Alright!
