Soap Party 04:13
I dream of the night when I crawl through your bedroom window on tip-toe Shuffle along the mahogany floor all in slow-mo - keep the lights low. Creep up to the foot of your bed, wiggle your heal and whisper: "Ed, here's a hand's-on tutorial about getting along. Here's a soaped-up socktorial about coming on too strong. Well there's more than one way to clear your chakrik blocks: Soap in a sock. But there's one sure way to sanitize the shock: Soap in, soap in, soap in a sock will clean Eddie's clock. Were you aping techniques from an instructional video viewed in a rented room? Will you look back upon this long night as the highlight of your life as a rent-a-goon? There's a smudge on your judgement. Might I scrub it away with a sigh of a soaped-up socktorial you've had coming on for so long? All hand's on deck, Eddie's checking out with a twist and a shout. C'mon block, Eddie, block.

There is so much for you to give But you spend your time alone. Your luck is supernatural - What could that ever mean? Do you traipse across half frozen lakes Just to set my world on fire? Creeping dawn, leaping fawn. Better snow than black flies, All the better, my deer, to see you. No frame could hold this picture. Guess we'll just have to be here. Draw moustaches on the saints in tears. Life isn't as damned as it appears. Creeping dawn, leaping fawn. You don't believe in ghosts until your haunted And the sea inside swirls in a frightful tide. Just when you get those demons exercised, You recognize the ghost inside looks an awful lot like you. Dans les collines pas loin d'ici, Dans les rayons d'un soleil faible, J'entends le vent et les corbeaux Et j't'attends sans espérer. Pi lorsque j'prends la route chez moi, Je t'évoquerai d'un ton tout bas: Creeping dawn, leaping fawn. Creeping dawn, leaping fawn.

about

The Shorty Tubbs Fredericton, New Brunswick

An indie-rock, post-modern take on popular music from the past two centuries and counting, Shorty Tubbs straddles the universe like a colossus in short shorts. Looking for a descriptor with bite? Think sonic Doritos: oh so crunchy, practically too tasty, probably not good for you – but you don’t care. ... more
