an interesting friend of mine who is secretly a killer (OH MY!)
lyrics
Whats it like having pencils for teeth
do you get much work done
hows it like having marbles for eyeballs
and hair fashioned out of gum
I know you live in a house made of paper
and have a leather pouch for a lung
your legs are made from tins and cans
so where the hell are you from?
I know you've seen the bottom of the ocean
I know you've travelled through space
I know you stand out a bit on this planet
but my what a pretty face
Where did you get those pointed ears
I'd be interested in a pair myself
I stole these pencils from a mathematician
and these ears from an elf
and I 'spose you're gonna go ahead and tell me
you took that gum from some children
It was as easy as stealing candy from a baby
so I guess that makes me a villain
Oh me oh my
this guy is a killer
oh me oh my
watch out for his stinger
oh me oh my
just wait til the winter
oh me oh my
pencil tooth's a killer
Pencil tooth's a killer
Pencil tooth's a killer
watch out watch out watch out watch out
watch out he's a killer
he'll steal your marbles and your sweets
he'll steal your ears in pairs
he'll rummage through your garbage
and he won't even care
Oh me oh my
this guy is a killer
oh me oh my
watch out for his stinger
oh me oh my
just wait til the winter
oh me oh my
pencil tooth's a killer
One of my favourite albums ever! Gives a lot of beautifully strong emotional vibes. I'll be listening to this masterpiece till the end of time burtalseitan
Frankly, I go for bedroom recordings. Why... well, in such a setting with (usually) limited technical resources, the only way out is real good songwriting! And Tom Milsom aka "Gemini Eye" evidently has plenty of the required talent. "Alien Home" is a fun album with great lyrics and clever, ever-surprising song ideas, demonstrating that even a most tasty meal doesn't need more than simple ingredients. More favorite tracks besides "Home": "Charlie's Birthday Song", "A Little Irony", and "West Street". Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
