about

The debut single from Sprattacus, "Roll the Dice", showcases an eclectic range. Flamenco guitar, staccato bass and percussion collide with triumphant vocals and Dick Dale surf rock.
The B section takes us somewhere entirely new - Tame Impala mixed with Daft Punk vocoder. Humorous lyrics about "going for it" and gambling references, even Kenny Rogers gets a shout out. A unique stew of sounds.

lyrics

You take a risk, it doesn't work out...

Roll the dice
Roll the dice
This is a gambler's paradise...

The odds are stacked against you
You've lost more than once or twice
Still you roll the dice
Still you roll the dice
Roll the dice

You take a risk, it doesn't work out
You play it safe, it doesn't work out
You try to change and still you freak out
On and on and on again
Roll the dice

This is a gambler's paradise
Kenny Rogers ain't got s*** on me - but he was right!
Don't count that money at the table (rest in peace Kenny Rogers)
Unless you're ready, willing and able
To let that pony out the stable
You may be right to roll the dice!
The odds are stacked against you
Roll the dice

You take a risk, it doesn't work out
You play it safe, it doesn't work out
You try to change and still you freak out
On and on and on again
You take a risk, it doesn't work out
You play it safe, it doesn't work out
You try to change and still you freak out
On and on and on again
Shake off that losing streak, no one can stop us now
We'll get back on our feet, and no more hand-me-downs
You try to change and still you freak out
On and on and on again
And on and on and on and on and on again

This is a gambler's paradise
This is a gambler's paradise
This is a gambler's paradise
This is a gambler's paradise
