Artist: Tripod Album: About An Hour of Song In An Hour (2002) Title: Frankel's Lament
Lyrics Frankel's LamentOkay, let's just set the scene in a hospital
Mip mip mip
Frankel the mouse is there, on the bed
Mip mip mip
I've forgotten everything
In my little mouse-sized bin
In a county hospital
With a tiny bandage round my head
You've just got a broken ankle
Snap out of it, Frankel
Images are coming back to me
When I close my eyes I see
How I got my injury
Cause I attempted beastiality
Frankel, it's your past you're seeing
You tried making love to a human being
Frankie, all the things you could have been
That it's now impossible to be
Now you'll never realise your dream
To be a world champion at frisbee
Ne-ne-ne-ne-nl, ne-ne-ne-ne-nl
Ne-ne-ne-ne-nl, neoww
Nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl two handed nl-nl-nl-nl-nl
Nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl there's usually a really self-indulgent Kirk Hammet solo
Nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl
Yeah, but there's usually an instrument
That's true, there is
Now I'm back in walking therapy
And they're saying, "Bend your knee, Katie, bend your knee"
But my name is not Katie
And I'll never throw a fuckin' frisbee
Luke Skywalker, look at him
He saved the galaxy with a prosthetic limb
Frankie, all the things you could have been
That it's now impossible to be
Now you'll never realise your dream
To be a world champion at frisbee
Memories flying at me
Like plastic sperm on a really weird keyring
It's my future I see
A lonely life of writing parking fines
But life is fine
But Frankel, you're a mouse, don't be silly
Even with all four limbs you couldn't play frisbee
But Frankel, you will always have your dreams
Cause anything is possible, you see
It's just bullshit!
Just insert happy ending here!
Thanks so much for coming! Let's have a drink |
