The stories behind Timed to the Second

• Liner Notes: The Harmony-Vocal Take on "Timed to the Second" — Same bossa nova wit, but this version trades synth pads for actual backing harmonies underneath the lead.
• Timed to the Second: The Machine That Wrote Its Own Diss Track — A smooth bossa nova sung from a contrast injector's point of view is built around a real myth-busting session on the machine.

Lyrics

You think you know me, but you don't,

not yet

I'm the quiet count between the push and the shot

They think I'm just a button in a bag

A simple pump and easy little gag

But I push the contrast right on time

Match to the scanner line for line

You don't know me yet, not yet, not true

Every myth you've heard, I'll walk you through I'm the quiet

count between the press and the flow.

Time to the second,

steady and slow.

They built a session just to prove it right.

Mythbusters came to learn the time in time so next time someone doubts my

name remember I don't play that game you don't know me

yet not yet not true every myth you've heard I'll walk

you through

I'm the quiet count between the press and the flow

Tying to the second, steady and slow

Maybe I don't get the credit

Maybe I don't get the fame

But every picture that gets read

Started with me, just the same

You don't know me yet, not yet

not true

Every myth you heard,

I'll walk you through I'm the quiet count

between the press and the flow

Time to the second, steady and slow

Now you know me, don't you?

Now

know
