Taken from "Crickets" 2007
"Long road black road touch the road
It's a hard road
Spontaneous combustion
Final decision it's the only way
Straight up off from the aggressive rock
Intelligensia
But I feel no pain
From the vacuum that sucks me in
I saw you drifting away
With your car today
With the world rushing by
In the wink of an eye
Move away from the whip
On the reality ship
And the world is a toy
For sensational gravity boy
Words in the important points
Is the assassin
Models just them figurines
Yeah just the ones we chose to keep
Look them over vaguely spacy
He spots them
And he will not change
He is a trooper when it comes to that
I saw you drifting away
With your car today
With the world rushing by
In the wink of an eye
Move away from the whip
On the reality ship
And the world is a toy
For sensational gravity boy"
A tight demo sounding track with a great catchy uplifting chorus. Did this song ever crop up on a "proper" album? well it should. Bob goes under the name Freedom Cruise for this song. Nice. Where does it all come from? Great song.

hearing this played live on the recent tour was outstanding. great, great song.
I am officially very jealous
I have this song on a compile from years before Crickets and this songs demonstrates how Bob sometimes gives certain songs prominence whilst other moments of greatness languish in oscurity. This song sits alongside other great lo-fi pop anthems like Echo's Myron or Gold stars for Robot Boy. But it wasn't on Bee Thousand or Alien Lanes so few people have heard it.
there's another version of this off some old 90's comp. it's slower and has the Deal sisters on backup vox.
jeeez! you guys sure are brave!!!Every song?are you sure?What about the one's he dreams n' shit???
anyways, here's my 5-word review of Sensational Gravity Boy...
"..it's about someone falling over.."
