Bitten by the acid-house bug in 1988, Fugler, Tournier and Bryant began recording with two singles informed by more-than-competent guitar work, soaring techno-funk and plenty of pop inspiration as well. "Thumper" and "Joni" (the latter sampling Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi") brought Fluke much attention in the growing electronic sphere, and they signed a one-off album deal with indie-rock kingpins Creation for their debut full-length, 1991's Techno Rose of Blighty. After completing another record deal with Virgin that same year, Fluke released a live album Out (in essence) and their sophomore masterpiece Six Wheels on My Wagon, an album of poppy, occasionally dreamy ambient-trance which included several previously released singles. By 1995, Fluke had even hit the British charts (with the singles "Bullet" and "Tosh") and their third LP OTO marked a bit of a departure for the trio, a downbeat, jazzy path just beginning to be name-checked as trip-hop. Hitting the charts in an even bigger way during their 1997 return, the trio released "Atom Bomb," a high-energy number recorded for the Virgin video-game soundtrack Wipeout 2097. The single and video also introduced fourth member Arial Tetsuo, an animé race-car driver come to life as concert figure-head Rachel Stewart. Risotto, Fluke's fourth LP, fit in nicely with the growing fanaticism surrounding big-beat techno, though the trio held on to their trance and trip-hop inclinations as well.

Squirt
Fluke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feet of clay, head of gold
Middle made of cannon balls
Rumour has is swallowed whole
Mineral, without a soul
That's the story being told
The estimated, undefeted
Big yet unfamiliar
Think bigger than the biggest bar
Think big, that's only half as large
Bigger, better, twice as hard
Outsized, extra large
Velocity very fast
Bigger than the closest star
Bigger than the motor car
Quick, quiet, confident
Comfortable, permanent
Undisputed every tense
Not a trace of what went left
More equal than the best
Unparalleled success
Everybody

In Fluke's song Squirt, the lyrics describe a seemingly mythical being that is over ten feet tall, has feet made of clay, and a head of gold. Its middle is made of cannon balls, and rumors have been spread that it has swallowed them whole. The song highlights that this creature is mineral, without a soul, and it is hailed as the estimated, undefeated champion of the world. It is big, unfamiliar, and bigger than anything else. The song goes on to describe that its velocity is faster than anything else, making it bigger than a motor car, and bigger than the closest star.
The lyrics have a deeper meaning beyond the description of this mythical creature. The song is speaking to the idea that in society, we tend to idolize things that are big, grandiose, and larger than life. We put them on a pedestal and believe that they are unbeatable in their greatness. The song is a commentary on the culture of celebrity worship and the idea that we often exaggerate people's success and achievements, making them larger than life.
The lyrics also highlight the concept of the unknown and the unfamiliar. The description of the creature is of something impossible to fathom, yet it elicits a sense of awe and wonder. This is reflective of our fear of the unknown, the fear of things we don't understand, and the power they can hold over us.
