My Little Universe

Notes

Andy Fletcher told Exclaim!:

"Well, 'My Little Universe' is a very techno track. It's out there, that one. It's a little jewel, that track. It sort of breaks up the more built up tracks and where it is on the album — track 5 — it's really a nice position. What happened with that song, it was just sort of a normal pop track really and we layered and layered and layered stuff on it and it wasn't sounding right so in the end we just completely stripped it down to how it is now, and now it sounds great. I'm talking about so much stuff "on," so many tracks used up, and really just taking bare elements of things — a couple of melodies, a couple of sequencers. It's just amazing. That's one of the nice surprises really. We thought that track was going nowhere and could see it just as a bonus track or something but out of the blue a bit of magic occurred."

Lyrics

My Little Universe

My little universe

Is expanding

Slowly

And those who know me

Say I'm growing every day

Beautiful emptiness

Surrounds me

I take small steps

I'm making progress

In a non-specific way

Here I am king

I decide everything

I let no one in

No one

No one

No one

Limited consciousness

Preserves me

It protects me

And just connects enough

To keep the wolves at bay

My little universe

Is expanding

Slowly

And those who know me

Say I'm growing every day

Here I am king

I decide everything

I let no one in

No one

No one

No one
