[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
Shit them all festival, laugh at the beautiful
It's just a nod to the canon
Simple man Stan can't stand up on the beautiful
It's just a nod to the canon
Stickle brick, tickle quick, laugh at the beautiful
It's just a nod to the canon
Hustle over hot muscle shower, twitch off the beautiful
It's just a nod to the canon now

[Outro]
One, two, three... yeah

​​alt-J

alt-J is an English indie rock band that consists of vocalist and guitarist Joe Newman, keyboardist and bassist Gus Unger-Hamilton and drummer Thom Green. Gwil Sainsbury was the band’s bassist before leaving the band in early 2014.

Formed at Leeds University and signed to a label in Cambridge, UK, the band originally made songs on Garageband before releasing them under the pseudonym ∆.

∆’s name takes a little explaining. Pronounced alt-J, the delta sign is inserted when you press alt and J on a Mac keyboard.
