Biography

MGMT is an American psychedelic rock band founded by Benjamin Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden. After the release of their first album, the members of their live band, Matthew Asti, James Richardson and Will Berman, joined the core band in the studio. Formed at Wesleyan University and originally with Cantora Records, they signed with Columbia Records and Red Ink in 2006. On October 5, 2007, Spin.com named MGMT "Artist of the Day." On November 14, 2007, Rolling Stone pegged MGMT as a top ten "Artist to Watch" in 2008. The band was named ninth in the BBC's Sound of 2008 Top Ten Poll. They were also named as Last.fm's most played new artist of 2008 in their Best of 2008 lists. MGMT's first album, Oracular Spectacular, debuted at No. 12 on the UK album chart, No. 13 after 34 weeks in the New Zealand RIANZ charts, number six on the Australian ARIA Charts, and hit number one on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. It has also been named the 18th best album of the decade by Rolling Stone magazine. It was named the best album of 2008 by NME. MGMT also appeared prominently in Australia's Triple J Hottest 100 2008, coming in 2nd with "Electric Feel", 5th with "Kids" and 18th with "Time to Pretend". MGMT was nominated for the 2010 Grammy Award for Best New Artist, and their track "Kids" was nominated for Best Pop Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocals.

LYRICS

On my phone
Time spent sitting all alone
Time spent looking at my phone
Time spent sitting all alone
Time spent looking at my phone

I try to pull the curtains back
Turn you off, can't detach
When all I want and all I know
Is time spent looking at my phone

(On my phone)

Find me when the lights go down
Signing in signing out
Gods descend to take me home
Find me staring at my phone

I'm wondering where the hours went
As I'm losing consciousness
My sullen face is all aglow
Time spent looking at my phone

Last thing that you need
Is the new shiny feature
All the memories you've shared
Devoured by perverted creatures

Nothing can compete
With the first time you saw her
Passing strangers on the street
Spending every moment looking at their phones

(On my phone)

Time spent sitting all alone
Time spent looking at my phone
Time spent sitting all alone
Time spent looking at my phone

I call you you don't call me back
Almost had a heart attack
I'm listening to the window moan
Time spent looking at my phone

Closer getting far
So you close all the windows
I would never let you die
Even if our love is over winter
You know what you need
Is a way to remember
You can never find the time
If you spend everyday looking at your phone


You should come with me
We can lose ourselves in laughing
Happy faces from the feed
And then try to turn them into something
Even if you choose to believe that it's ending
You come back to me again
You can go ahead and stop pretending

Doo doo doo doo doo...
