Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs swings between overt musicality and scarily on-point dance floor intuition, ripping up gigs around the globe with his live show of bizarre instruments, glitter cannons and of course… dancing dinosaurs. Having completed successful tours across America, Europe and a recent sold-out run of headline dates across the UK, as well as featuring at every notable summer festival for the past two years, TEED will release his début album this June 2012.
His second EP, "All In Two Sixty Dancehalls EP" (2010, Greco-Roman), brought notoriety, in particular the lead track, Garden. 'Garden' was revisited last October via Polydor with support from Radio 1, both day and night, and a global sync for the Nokia Lumia ad campaign. It’s one of the most instantly recognizable electronic-pop records of recent years, having clocked up over 2.5million views on YouTube and counting.
Early releases from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs have been compiled on two EP's - 'Prehistory I' and 'Prehistory II' (both 2011 , Greco-Roman).
TEED's long remix discography includes: Lady Gaga, Friendly Fires, Professor Green to name just a few.
His biggest adventure to date took him to the Congo in Africa, working with local musicians as one of the personally invited producers to collaborate on Damon Albarn and Oxfam’s DRC LP project.
Debut album 'Trouble' is released on the 11th June 2012.

You Need Me on My Own
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though, even though you said goodbye
This love is all I've got in my head, oh oh oh oh can't stop thinking of you
Your so right, keeping it real
Oh my, making me feel
The opening lyrics of "You Need Me on My Own" indicate that the singer is still deeply affected by a past relationship. Despite the fact that the other person has left, the singer is still searching for traces of them in their surroundings, such as under their bed. The idea of love consuming one's thoughts and being unable to stop thinking about the other person is also referenced. This suggests that the singer may be struggling to move on from the relationship and still desires the other person's presence in their life.
The subsequent lyrics suggest that the other person has provided some form of reassurance or closure, as they are described as "keeping it real" and "making me feel." This could refer to the other person being honest about their feelings and intentions or providing support in some way. However, despite this reassurance, the singer is still struggling to let go of their feelings for the other person.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and longing for a past relationship, even though the other person has moved on. The emotions expressed in the song may resonate with listeners who have experienced similar feelings after a breakup.

I'm always searching looking under my bed
I keep looking for traces of you everywhere, even in the most unlikely places like under my bed.
Even though, even though you said goodbye
Even though you've already left me, my mind can't seem to let go of you.
This love is all I've got in my head, oh oh oh oh can't stop thinking of you
My love for you is still prevalent in my thoughts and it's hard to cease thinking about you.
You're so right, keeping it real
Your words were true and honest and I acknowledge the fact that I was in the wrong.
Oh my, making me feel
Your words made me come to my senses and feel remorseful for my actions.
