Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to the Source label. Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who actually were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience. Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year. In 2003 "Ether Song" got to #3 in the UK album charts and spawned a Top 5 single "Pain Killer". Further commercial success was not achieved.

Future Boy Lyrics
Turin Brakes
So Future Boy where are you from?
My time machine crashed over yonder
The syphillis is a bitch, but contracting HIV is much worse.
Why are you pushing info into me,
I have no need for it, Im from the stars
I thought youd like to know the scoop
Im taking babies back with me, yeah
Im taking them back home,
so they can see theres a much better place
Ive got a sister with an open mind
and my friends are all junkies
But theyre still my friends
As long as they dont use monkeys
We enjoyed the heat of stolen days in the summer of 93
Well the future boy said
Ive got friends but you know some times
it all depends on how tall they are against yourself
I am the future boy
I am the future boy
I am the future boy
I am the future boy
I am the future boy
I am the future boy
I am the future boy
I am the future boy
My friends have all gone and left me
so I decided to come here and see myself as a baby
But it looks like Im stuck here this time
Oh shit, gonna miss my friends
And no, youre still youre the future
Yes Im still the future boy
Well build you a time machine to get back home
Still the future boy
Still the future boy
Still the future boy
Oh, Im still the future boy
Still the future boy
Still the future boy
Still the future boy
Well, Im still the future boy
