Imaginary Pageantry

I been waiting in the next dimension
Hoping you would pay attention
To all my imaginary pageantry
Patent all my worst inventions
Battle all your best intentions
It's all just imaginary pageantry

Can you control
The thunder you stole
Or does it roll
Wild
Were you told
Ooh were you told
That you get old
Child
Were you told

There's a princess in that tower
She's trapped up there like a chump
She don't know she got the power
Just to go ahead and jump
If you just pay attention you'll notice the things you're addicted to
Making you making you making you dumb
There's a hunchback in that steeple
Got himself a big old hump
He never notice all the people
Jumping landing with a thump
If you just pay attention you'll notice the things that are killing you
Making you making you making you dumb

Premature Pedestals

Got an early start
On a broken heart
I built a pedestal
I never met her still
And it's no no no names

I'll be your grim reaper
Baby let me be your grim reaper

Crumbs

Crumbs - there's nothing left but
Crumbs - I keep on eating
Crumbs - the neighbors left me
Some - but I cut off my
Thumbs - by accident my
Thumbs - some accidents
Become - more proof that we are
Dumb
Dumb
Dumb, real dumb
Real dumb
Crumbs - there's nothing left but crumbs
Crumbs - I keep on eating crumbs -
Crumbs - my neighbor left me
your mama left me
somebody left me
my girlfriend left me
my mistress left me
her mistress left her
I went to get some
They didnt have no
They're running out of
They don't have no more
They looted all the crumbs

Make It Work
02:45
|
|||
|
Got a broken silver spoon
And a fool's gold watch
Thirty years and then the boot
Steady job to botch
State-paid food in my guts
State-paid phone, in a rut
State-paid drugs, patchwork brain
We got a free ride down the drain
But we make it work

I'm Gone
02:39
|

|
You talk about leaving all the time
But you got nowhere to be
You got nobody but me
And I'm gone
You got no reason or rhyme
You had your chance to be the one to go
I hate to be the one to tell you so
But I'm gone
Packed up my shit
Got my ticket
I'm heading back to Caroline
I'll turn legit
Write a couple big hits
Then go get drunk on my own damn wine
'cause I'm gone
You talk about leaving all the time
But you got nothing to do
And I got nothing to prove
So I'm gone
Packed up my shit
Got my ticket
I'm heading back to Caroline
I'll turn legit
Write a couple big hits
Then go get drunk on my own damn wine

Puttin' on plenty of weight
It's nice not sitting on a bony ass but
My arms are still scrawny
Not healthy to be six-one and only weigh 130 pounds
I'm up to 170
Thanks and blame and otherwise go to a steady diet of nothing but waffles and medicine
Medication?
Medicine.
Not sure if there's actually a a difference
We'll let the doctors decide
Waterweight looks good on me, if I do say so myself, and I do
As long as I don't become one of those guys who's real skinny but still manages to have a big gut
That'd be ridiculous.
I'm puttin' on plenty of weight.
Sure am.

GraveRobbing Warmongers
02:21
|
|||
|
I caught a graverobber robbing my grave
Caught him with dirt on his hands
I caught a graverobber robbing my grave
Seemed like a desperate man
What he had planned
Is a thought I can't stand
Seemed like a desperate man
I caught a warmonger mongering war
Caught him with blood on his hands
I caught a warmonger mongering war
Smelled like a fortunate man
For a few hundred grand
He'd have scorched all the land
Smelled like a fortunate man
I caught a watchmaker making a watch
Caught him with time on his hands

Here comes Ugly Mulligan
Got his wife's body again
Dancing like they never been apart
Contain him, they can't contain him
Contain him, they can't contain him
Here comes Ugly Mulligan
Can't blame him, they cannot blame him
Can't blame him, they cannot blame him
Got his wife's body again
Believe it, they can't believe it
Retrieved it, he done retrieved it
Believe it, he can't believe she's gone
He's so hard to look at he gets away with everything he does
Here comes Ugly Mulligan
Got his wife's body again
Dancing like they never been apart

They can take our underwear
They can take our pride
They can take our shoelaces
They could take our side
We'll still die lookin' pretty

Benjamin Lee Farley Asheville, North Carolina
Never took a lesson in my life. All songs written, played, sung/sang/sing-ed, produced, computerized / all album covers made
by Ben unless otherwise noted.
NONE of my sounds are made with Artificial Intelligence, just a few album covers. Is anybody reading this? If so thank you. If not, then I guess I can say whatever I want because you'll never read it. So fuck you I guess? Just kidding madluv.

most people would just retire after they make an album as good as IT IS GRAVY, but not INSPECTOR XXXIV! GRAVY had sounded like a direct confrontation with the realities of a quotidian existence, whereas LOVE MY LIFE is dreamier and more otherworldly.

Combining wry, cutting lyrics and whimsical arrangements, the Canadian art-rockers' latest is a tilt-a-whirl of a breakup album.
