State of the Art - Gotye

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 16th 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 of the art

Hold the phone it's so

State of the art

Listen to the difference

State of the art

By use of a computer

Oh my god it's so

State of the art

Now we don't want to go out

When we could spent the night at home with the Cotillion

Invite the neighbours around

Start the nossanova 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 there amazing simulations end up sounding

Even better than the real thing

State of the art

Hold the phone it's so

State of the art

Computer controlled tone colour

State of the art

The marriage of music to computers is quite natural

Oh my god it's so

State of the art

It's time to hear the results
