Life Substance #27 - The Talent Kernel for Memory (Alternate Version)

[Intro] [Verse 1: Arthur the Office Worker] I sit at my desk with a cup of cold tea, While Mr. Perkins is shouting at me! "Where are the files for the Johnson account?!" I stare at his mustache, I’m losing the count. I forgot my own password, I lost my left shoe, I forgot if the sky is supposed to be blue! I’m terribly sorry, I haven't a clue! [Chorus: The Talent Kernel for Memory] Hello up there! I’m the kernel of memory! Substance Twenty-Seven, working quite heavily! I'm digging through archives, sorting the facts, But your brain is just full of ridiculous tracks! I've got all your past lives filed neatly away, But you can't remember what happened today! I am pulling the levers! I'm doing my best! But honestly, Arthur, give it a rest! [Verse 2: Arthur the Office Worker] I went to the shops to buy apples and bread, But I bought a huge rubber penguin instead. I get to the office, my trousers are gone, And Perkins is asking what planet I'm on! "You missed the big meeting! You ruined the chart!" I'd love to explain, but I don't know where to start! [Chorus: The Talent Kernel for Memory] Hello up there! I’m the kernel of memory! Substance Twenty-Seven, working quite heavily! I'm digging through archives, sorting the facts, But your brain is just full of ridiculous tracks! I've got all your past lives filed neatly away, But you can't remember what happened today! I am pulling the levers! I'm doing my best! But honestly, Arthur, give it a rest! [Final Chorus] Yes, I am the kernel, the keeper of lore! Trying to find what you're looking for! From forever ago to this very strange day, I try to keep your amnesia at bay! Substance Twenty-Seven! The cosmic archive! It's a miracle Arthur is still alive! [End]
