Somewhere in South End when you were fun
You took my hand and you made me run
Up past the prison to the seafront
You climbed the cliff edge and took the plunge

Why can't we laugh now like we did then?
How come I see you and ache instead?
How come you only look pleased in bed?
Let's climb the cliff edge and jump again

Pineapples are in my head
(Pineapples are in my head)
Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead
(Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead)

Somebody said that I'm a fuckin' slum
Don't know that I belong
Maybe you're fucking dumb
Maybe I'm just a bum
Maybe you're fucking scum
Don't you go psycho chum
I want you for the world
I want you all the time

Pineapples are in my head
(When you were fun)
Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead
(You made me run)
Pineapples are in my head
(To the seafront)
Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead
(She took the plunge)

5000 footsteps in your wet dress
Back to the house with your arms around my neck
We drank pork soda with tangled legs
I won't forget how you looked at me then

I know I'm no sweet prince of love
Those times that we got drunk
Maybe Jamaica rum
Maybe some Jonnie Dub
Maybe you still think of us
Phone buzz, and still I jump
Why don't I say it then?
I want you all the time

Why can't we laugh now like we did then?
How come I see you and ache instead?
How come you only look pleased in bed?
Let's climb the cliff edge and jump again

Pineapples are in my head
(Pineapples are in my head)
Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead
(Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead)
Pineapples are in my head
(Pineapples are in my head)
Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead
(Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead)

Pineapples are in my head
(Pineapples are in my head)
Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead
(Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead)

Pineapples are in my head
(Pineapples are in my head)
Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead
(Got nobody 'cos I'm brain dead)

Glass Animals take their music videos seriously. Whether it be continuing storylines or a guy turning into a snake, this band have a surreal vision and we love it.

When we heard they were making another weird yet wonderful video from their debut album How To Be A Human Being, this time for 'Pork Soda', we had to ask them all about it.

In 'Pork Soda', a reclusive man is sat watching TV, suffering adverts selling oddball products (you can actually watch all the ads for 'Spray'o'nnaise', 'Super Chicken' and more at porksoda.co.uk), and becoming increasingly agitated at the woman upstairs performing acrobatics with her dog.

The band's Dave and Drew told us in our exclusive 'Laid Bare' commentary of the vid below, "This actor, we used him for our album over shoot but he'd never been out of America before so we had to get him a passport just for this and he went straight to Bromley and stayed there for two days…

"[He] didn't see any of England it was so sad! But actually, they took him on a tour, the shoot finished at like 11 o'clock at night and they took him on a whizz-stop tour of London. They took him around to like Big Ben, take a photo, and then London Eye, take a photo so we've got all these great photos of him smiling."

Watch the guys reveal that and more as they talk through 'Pork Soda' in our exclusive commentary playing above and you can watch the original 'Pork Soda' uninterrupted here:
