Drop Drop In A Little Bottle: Released EU Sep 2007 / US Nov 2009

Break in Violence:
I Open the door, Open the my mouth, Open my face,
Open the holes in my head,
Yes you can walk through my house
Look at my eyes, Look at my skin, Look at my smile,
Check out the grin on my face,
You know I’m asking for it
I can hear your, I can hear your, I can hear your,
I can hears your ears ringing,
Baby what’s your name
She said I’m any body, To anybody, Anyone, Anyone, Anyone,
Anyone who really loves me,
You’ll never know my name
Break in violence
(repeat verse 3 & 4)

Père Lachaise:
I lost my way,
On the rue de Ricochet,
I got to nickel it today,
On the boulevard I stay
chorus:
And I watch them,
Leaving to stay,
Some coming to go,
Some eager to play,
Some say a “no go”,
Some making their way,
Some watching the show,
Some catching their pray,
Some letting it go… My way,
On the rue de Père Lachaise
I got to nickel it today,
On the boulevard I stay
(repeat chorus)
On the rue de Père Lachaise,
They heckle me they make me stay,
Those lucky residents are strange

The Toast:
I know just a little bit,
You know just a little bit
I want just a little bit,
You want just a little bit
I need just a little bit,
You need just a little bit
You tell me I’m a little kid,
Well, you are just a little bit
May the sun shine forever,
A toast to your health
She said and don’t waste it
Half of the fun is spilling,
Spilling,
Spilling,
The first mouthful,
Spraying the best of it,
All over the banquet table
Tipping the ration,
Onto the floor,
Through the pipes,
In the rotten closet,
In the water tank
And when I’ve died another death,
Because it’s never enough
And when we’ve died another death,
Because it’s never enough
And the dead, yes their all dead,
You know it’s never enough
And when the killers they’ve been killed
You know there’re never enough
(repeat)
You will find me under the green leaves,
Burning under the tall trees,
You will spy me falling with great ease,
Dancing in the cool breeze
(repeat)
May the sun shine forever,
May the sun shine forever,
In my country, In this kitchen,
That is what I play,
I play the kitchen,
I play the halls,
A toast to your health
Buried in these walls,
Forever

No Politics, No Sex:
No politics, no sex, no food,no booze, no friends, no talk, no news, No trouble at all,
No politics, no sex, no food,no booze, no friends, no talk, no news,
O make that shit all up,
Where there is peace and war and I don’t have to die
I’m gonna make that shit all up
A big pain in your eye
I said No politics, no sex, no food, no booze, no friends, no talk, no news,
I make it all up

Dead Naked:
Dead naked
He lies in bed
Buffalo Dragon
Penny Magnet
Smoking victory
The Tobacco he Loves
He says… I know how to live And I know how to die
Every once in a while I lie I lie I lie
(Repeat)
Dead Naked
Dead Naked
Clever Raven He punched his wife
He banned the kites out from the sky
Now famous women he does shave
With a safety razor he’s well behaved
(repeat entire thing)
Sniffs the maiden from the cave he made
In the air all that he does crave
Now out he crawls
With what God it gave
He’s got to match it full With all that was forbade

Sleepwalkers:
I was cold, I was tired, I was bored, I was hungry
But not a soul could bother me
There’s a world over here, only I see
Ambiguous men they follow me
Sleepwalkers
Sleepwalkers
Yes I do cost a lot
A common brick-a-brack Camelot
Open your bags my man
Ooh, Yes I’m your biggest fan
The best he always wins
And when the butterflies start to sing
Soon you’ll see skeletons
Bang on their kettledrums
The immortals who go to bed
Sick of being never dead
They are the hypnotist sleepwalkers
Tailored to bury us
Sleepwalkers (x4)
The rat greets the butterfly
Not an easy thing to come by
Blink and you’ll lose an eye
Then everything says bye-bye
After this what begins
More pregnant girls shivering
Dominionists bickering
Fallen angles die regretting
The choice that they made
Yes I do cost a lot
A common brick-a-brack Camelot
Open your bags my man
Ooh, Yes I’m your biggest fan
The best he always wins
And when the butterflies start to sing
Soon you’ll see skeletons
Bang on their kettledrums
I was cold, I was tired, I was bored, I was hungry
But not a soul could bother me
There’s a world over here, only I see
Ambiguous men they follow me
Sleepwalkers
Sleepwalkers

Les Enfants du Papillon:
Merci Henri (x4)
I don’t know your name
Loved you just the same
Things that fall apart
Talking about my heart
When we played in school
You broke all the rules
Teachers fought and fussed
All because of us Us
Merci Henri

Cat Head:
When I was young and youthful
I made myself so useful
I licked the wounds of a reaper so dutiful
I’ve been dressed up with ribbons so beautiful
And yes it gets deeper
Oh yes it gets deeper (x3)
Oh yes it got deeper
We danced and made merry till the boards got worn
Wore flowers round my neck and ears of corn
But when the last of the corn was cut
And the harvest it was a glut
And the men from the fields cried out
That cat must be cut
That cat must be cut
That cat, he got to get cut
I hid in the fields
Where mythology shielded me
From advancing children
Afraid of the dark
How far we have descended
This road was not recommended
And yet the stagnancy
Of this residency
On a flat world
It had to be, had to be, had to be Mended
Oh yes it gets deeper (x3)
Oh yes it got deeper

The Ark:
In just one breath
I want to build this ark
That holds all our love
And nothing else
And then sail away forever
Forever, ever, ever
I want to know why your heart is always breaking
I want to know why your arms are always shaking
I want to know cause the ship it’s started sailing
We’ve got to go
There’s no use to check the mail
In just one breath
I want to build this ark
That holds all our love
And nothing else
And then sail away forever
Forever, ever, ever
I need to know
I need to know
If you are coming or going below
I need to know
(repeat)

Flame Girl: * Lyrics by Sarah Provost
She’ll paint your hot
She’ll read your dreams
I’m not sure how she does this
But I know that she knows things
She’ll lift your spirits high
She’s an angel with flaming wings
She’ll get you topsy-turvy boy
She’ll make your innards sing
She’s no angel
She’s got, she’s got, she’s got
Flames for wings
So don’t be a bore
Come and get your thrill to the core
She’ll singe your heart
She’ll throw her flamed like they’re darts
She’ll paint your hot
She’ll read your dreams
I’m not sure how she does this
But I know that she knows things
She’s no angel
She’s got, she’s got, she’s got
Flames for wings (x4)

Pocket Full of Gold:
We were born with a pocket full of gold
We were told would never going to grow
Though when you did,
I saw you
I saw you
No no one else will
I know you, you
You don’t want to hear this
But I seen you I decree you
To leave here
Cause no one else will
No, none won, no none, no no-one
Nobody else will
So when you come back to visit
Show me what you got
With that pocket full of gold
Will it be pretty?
Will it be tasty?
Will it keep us warm?
Make me look good
Make me feel so tall
We’ll all be waiting for you
Just don’t ask us who won
No none won
No none
Not One

Everything Matters:
It’s us again
Losing a friend
It’s us again
There is no end
Everything matters
Everything matters
Everything
