Standing still
But you've had your day
Had the face
But you won't stay

Slowed down, weighed down
Right into me
It's not right
Waved on, helped on
Right into you
Goodbye

Read your mind
But you have your needs
Hopeless times
But you are so pleased

Slowed down, weighed down
Right into me
It's not right
Waved on, helped on
Right into you
Goodbye

I like cover art too.

This cover reminds me of the Southern California office building of my nightmares -
 It is a  mudslide earthquake wildfire crash into the ocean to be attacked by sharks waiting to happen.
Engineers indeed, they will forever be Architects to me because of this cover.

Right on!  By my iron ring secured firmly on the pinky of my working hand!!  (It gets a 3 for the music too)

shouldn't we keep the ratings strictly reflecting the MUSIC?

Not heard of these before. Really like the song. The Bio on AllMusic describes them perfectly.......

I'd never heard of this band before I started listening to RP and although I'm not crazy about this kind of music, I do find that this song is starting to grow on me.

Never heard them before but I like their dreamy soundscape type of music.

Or something out of Aeon Flux.

(Not implying anyone here needs to take one, just that this song is like taking one)

Just caught the end of this...would like to hear it again.

This song, and the CD it's on, is well worth owning if you like a super-hypnotic experience with great melodies. Too bad they only really have one stand-alone CD.

Baby, what a poor set!!! Bedridden Robert Zimmerman (let's be serious and objective), empty Moby, Devo, Mazy Star and The Vines!!! Wahoooo... But here comes "music with soul" again with The Melodians and Little Richard. THX, RP!
i can't tell if this is sarcasm or seriousness. either way it's a bit over the top..

For a second there I thought you were predicting the future. I think we're in the same set now, but I doubt the soul music is going to play this time around. Gotta say I like the harmony on this song. A good harmony gets me everytime.

Hey! I are an Engineer! Or, as my friends say, an 'Enginerd".

This is the kind of band name that you would have sworn would have already been taken. Well, much like "The Vines," coincidentally.

Atsa funny. I'm an engineer too, but I came to say that I dig the name. Just after college, my buddy and I were working as engineers (electrical and mechanical if you must know) and playing in a band. Our "Five Year Plan" was to be successful engineers for five years, and then be rock stars. We'll, we're still engineers, 21 years later.
Awesome! "Five year plan"
