lyrics

Further episodes will answer what all the grown ups knew, Sir Lancelot
That suit of foil's not fooling anyone
Baked at home in furs and forced upon
By a reign of dragons and a rule of thumb
That screws the low born serfs 'til kingdoms come
What if it's new?
What if it ain't?
Tear the knights of the day right off the page

Oh, we drew lots
Failing at first to further the plot
But straw-clutchers aren't proud
We'll remove their gloves now
Oh, we thought lots
Thinking at first to unstop the clock
But time wasters are still allowed
To express love for the unbowed

Reverse stories can't answer what all the pin-ups grasped, Sir Lancelot
That suit of his was big enough and grew
Played at home in furs and forced you to
Through a reign of rights and rules and rage
Bypassed your will, your heart, your age
What if he's real?
What if he ain't?
Rip the knights of the realm right off the stage

Oh, we bought lots
Guessing at first to further our cause
But pearl clutchers don't always love
How we remove our gloves
Oh, we drew lots
Failing at first to further the plot
Tie breakers break the best of men
Your will, your way, absolved again
Oh, we drank lots
Clearly at first to uncork some block
But us bottle drainers are a dying breed
The perfect ditch still appeals to me

Making questionable progress from the low-skilled, no-fidelity, no wave of their earliest cassettes to the largely futile primitive avant bubblegum of today, releasing ten collections to date on a trail of defunct labels and media. ... more
