"Mimi Merlot"


Manuel's mouth filled with foam upon discovering the properties of Mimi Merlot. Just Imagine his chagrin when he found she'd drugged him, tied him up and locked him inside her wardrobe. On top of all of this the boas hung above him made him sneeze Hhhhhhaaaaaacccccchhhhhhhooooooo. It's snowing all around inside Mimi's wardrobe. oh no no. Now she's covering the wardrobe in aluminum foil oh no no then she sticks her little finger through the key hole and says "suck on it and maybe I'll let you go" to which Manuel replies "Oh you want me to suck? like this?' Mimi Merlot you're the most convincingly non-fictitious character that I know

"Mingusings"

"Mingusings"


Boy I wish you weren't such a paranoid actress
And I the assassinated candidate
I feel like an accidental species
Some mutant love-child, never meant to be
No motion dancing, feel like we're an impossibility
Trying to keep the heart in the head but I was so down on the closing night
Couldn't even fake a smile, wanting to fire all my friends
And just start over again
Ah! Sisters don't you knoowww, our shit is only gonna get better
Ah don'tcha know don'tcha know don'tcha knoowww
I feel like the last time is gonna be my final collapse
Ah! Sisters don't you knoowww, our shit is only gonna get better
Ohh ohh aahhh ahhhh
I feel like the last time is gonna be my final collapse
I know from past experience
He never takes it easy on his readers
And you'll become a foreign substance lying in your familial bed
Technology makes such an ugly mother
But no lessons does it offer only chaos scenarios
And the dream that we've inherited, look it's just like numbers
Still they love you at the office cause you've been the subject of countless masturbation fantasies
(Ohh oh)

"Miniture Philosopher"

"Miniture Philosopher"


He's a miniature philosopher
He stands five foot three
So no one takes him seriously
He's in love with Gertrude Lullaby
But she doesn't care for him
He's like a house boy
To Miss Lullaby
And their future looks very dim
He's a miniature philosopher
He takes notes on all he reads
But that doesn't satisfy his needs
He's a desk clerk at the bank and trust
There's so many contracts and paperwork to do
He gets so busy at the bank and trust
There is no time for Nietzsche or Camus
He's a miniature philosopher
He writes essays on Voltaire
But if he died no one would care
He doesn't know why his life turned out this way
No one ever reads his dissertations or allegoric plays
So he comforts himself while searching a rhyme
That the public rarely recognize a genius in their time
(poor little guy)
He's a miniature philosopher
Though he hasn't got a friend
He's sure he'll be famous in the end

"Miss Blonde Your Papa Is Failing"

"Miss Blonde Your Papa Is Failing"


Little friend, whatever happened
You should know that I went down so hard
Trying to keep the family together
The family together
Sweet friend, know I love you
And I've been struggling so hard, so hard
Trying to keep the family together
The family together
The family together
When I look in your eyes
I see me looking back
It's kind of creepy how you own my heart
Yeah, you own my heart
Yeah, you own my heart
Let's stay together
Sweet friend, was I born to give
You a name and then be erased
All because I couldn't keep it together
Couldn't keep it together
Little friend, I know I've made it so
So much harder on us and lost you
Because I couldn't keep it together
Couldn't keep it together
Couldn't keep it together
When I look in your eyes
I see me looking back
It's kind of creepy how you own my heart
Yeah, you own my heart
Yeah, you own my heart
Let's stay together

"Monolithic Egress"

"Monolithic Egress"


Yeah, no blood hunger parasites
I'm inside of the mirror
Oh I don't saw this, getting bleak
Our words are so much louder now that we almost never speak

A silent messing inside I'm howling
No, you never did me wrong
We just been together too long, babe
We, we sit in silently
I think I'm panging in the dead of the sky
Cuz I can cool and shut in soft metals if you up
So the mountain, you could join me there
We'll both be ugly failures
And we won't even care
A silent messing inside my mind

We were the raping of the embryonic virgin spring
No fun out of that stake, I can only bury the statues
Cuz the dead have already been eaten
Threw a rock, punched through the skull of the sea
Started the freaks out
Again and again and again

I picture you as a waif on a Pacific break
Get up
Where the yawning void of your childhood sorrow
Can't haunt you
And all alone on miserable returns
Hating myself like I know that you want me to do
There was always the passion of St. Matthew
In my head they say she knows me
What do you know?

Should we [?] to hate each other
Just to feel like we're moving pieces
I know that I will always need to
Posses you and eyes stuck

In my ex-celebration of our centipede play
Right when we set this [?] flames
You can take on me but then you must expect the same
I'm not a different man
Cuz you not call me some fucked-up name
A silent messing inside I'm howling

There's no sympathy for the ox
All the brutal walls that we don't even bother naming
Just as our victimless suicides
Future is a poser
Now I'm trudging glass

"Montreal"

"Montreal"


Montreal is
Where I began to feel inside
the gray sadness of winter.
When you told me that this isn't it,
And I drove away.
Walking to the statue in the park,
Through snow drifts up over our knees,
And every street sign written in French.
We sat by the statue.
You looked in my eyes,
Then said, "I'm so sorry."
Later, laying on your bed,
Wondering what's going wrong.
Every time I'd ask you'd start crying,
And whisper, "I don't know why,
I only know what I feel,
what a voice says to me"
I may be here now
but I've never left Montreal

"My British Tour Diary"

"My British Tour Diary"


On our trip to England I noticed something obscene
People still actually give a shit about the Queen
Though London girls aren't snobs at all
and Brighton's lovely in the Fall
Left alone to drive ourselves on the opposite side
Man it was a miracle that nobody died
Hanging out with Steven Drew, Theo,
Paul and Sorrel too
Eating at Welcome Breaks daily
We danced in Leeds with Brit Pop Haley

Performing with the Apples
and then crashing at the Wrights
Bitching because Steven booked us
on such early flights
Always in a foggy haze
because we hadn't slept for days
Every single one of our London cabbies played
The most truly repellent techno music ever made
But they'll drop you without hesitation if you try changing the station

Up to our necks in crisps and litter
in the van we dubbed the Gary Glitter

"My Darling, I've Forgotten"

"My Darling, I've Forgotten"


I've lost, and don't remember what I saw in you
Your charms have become less charming
Your sweetness decreases everyday
My dear darling, I've forgotten what I saw in you.

Now I'm lost, I don't know a gentle way to say
that our life together is over and its best that you find someone new
because my darling, I've forgotten what I saw in you.

I seem to recall some vague memory of feeling happy, when we were young and in love.
But that was a long time ago.

Now I'm lost, Never in a million years what I have dreampt that about you I'd become indifferent.
But sweetheart, incredibly it's true.... that your cutie pie has forgotten what he saw in you.

Please don't think that I'm being impulsive or careless and that I'm not misserable too, but I just can't continue this lie
I'm lost.
I wish this had a happy ending
I wish there was something I could do
But, my darling, I've forgotten what I saw in you.
I've forgotten what I saw in you.

"My Fair Lady"

"My Fair Lady"


My lady's back at home
Cutting herself and sending me photographs
My lady's back at home
Cutting herself and sending me photographs
She was a friend to me
She was a friend
Back at home
Dismantling our love at the request of other people
Back at home
Dismantling our love, killing it to please other people
She was a friend to me
She was a friend
She was a friend to me
Because you've been so damaged
I have to give all the love that was meant for you to somebody else
Because you've been so abused
I have to give all the love that was meant for you to some other girl
She, she caught calamities
I'm embarrassed to admit, it's traumatized me
I'm ashamed to admit, your mind has traumatized me
You were a friend
You were a friend
You were a friend to me
Because you've been so damaged
I have to give all the love that was meant for you to somebody else
Because you've been so abused
I have to give all the love that was meant for you to some other girl
Oh won't you come around?
Won't you change?
Not for me, but for you, for yourself
Oh can't you?
(Can't you change?)
Can't you change?
Can't you change?
Can't you change?
Can't you change?
Can't you change?
