Name: Black Spaniel
Duration: P00H03M33S
Description: “Black Spaniel” is a previously unreleased b-side from the “Petting Zoo” sessions. It was intended as the tenth song on that album, but in the very end it didn't make the cut. Maybe the song got cursed because I played guitar on it, while none of the other PZ songs feature guitar at all.

“Black Spaniel” is a previously unreleased b-side from the “Petting Zoo” sessions. It was intended as the tenth song on that album, but in the very end it didn't make the cut. Maybe the song got cursed because I played guitar on it, while none of the other PZ songs feature guitar at all.

lyrics

Nobody cares if your coffee is aromatic enough
It's a surprise pity party
That keeps not surprising anyone
She's cursed to forever having to
Walk these here wretched parts

Stuck waiting for bad news
In a room reeking of rotting teeth
The spaniel won't return to save you
Black
All black
Only

He failed her
Might as well have dropped the axe himself
You made a stain on the rug
You made a stain on the goddamn rug
You reduced her to a
Mere stain on her precious rug

Send me a pretty postcard
with a list of all
The things you want me to regret

Smitten by your sense of theatrics
Just throw on a boa and
Let's be on our way

Send me a vibrant photo of
Everything you want me to forget

After he knocked you up
You suddenly found yourself in the third trimester
Silently and violently
Wishing for him to punch you in the tummy
A bottle of pills
Didn't do the job for him either
It did liberate that other girl though
Still infested
Still sentenced to care

Bed held together by
Duct tape and nails
Rotten juices
Dissolving linnen
Once she blows it's all over
Please
Someone
Close both the lids
Please

Evening on Earth

This is brooding & menacing. It has a radio waves, broken transmission feel to. The featured machines haven't neccesarily taken over, but they're inescapable. Waiting. Watching. Especially love Fairway. It sounds like the ocean - but this is the waters swirling around Fang Rock, in the middle of the night. There's danger afoot. Beautiful stuff. knightd68
