From "Down the Wrong Pipe"

Part 1: Down the Wrong Pipe

Hey ho

You boys got nothing

We 're not afraid of your type

Put your money money

Your money where your mouth is

It goes

It goes down the wrong pipe

Hey ho

You boys got nothing

We 're not afraid of your type

Put your money money

Your money where your mouth is

It goes

It goes down the wrong pipe

There, there

This will all be laughable some day

There, there

All your little failures melt away

Part 2: Come Lady Fair

Come, Lady fair

Come flounce about the trilliums

Weep for the robins evensong

Come, Lady fair

Come flounce about the trilliums

Weep for the robins evensong

Kingfisher, crake and coot

Sing for the day doth quit

Sandpiper auk and lark

Swift,

buttonquail and tit

Dovetails

Download Song

From "Down the Wrong Pipe"

I dream of her often

A well-crafted chaos is her face

Like Etch-a-sketch circles

Hard to make, easy to erase

She works with her head down

And everything ends with Sir, yes, sir.

For now she jumps through them

But soon the hoops will jump around her

This is the part with the twist

Angel, awaken

I need that good luck kiss

This is the part with the twist

Angel, awaken

You'll want to see this

I'm loving today so far

We'll all be okay,

We 're fine the way that we are

When everything dovetails

Then you'll know

Dovetails then you'll know

Then you'll know

Dovetails then you'll know

The joke is too simple

You can't build your self-esteem alone

You can't find the punch line

Follow the collective groan

This is the part with the twist

Angel, awaken

I need that good luck kiss

This is the part with the twist

Angel, awaken

You'll want to see this

I'm loving today so far

We'll all be okay,

We 're fine the way that we are

When everything dovetails

Then you'll know

Dovetails then you'll know

Then you'll know

Dovetails then you'll know

Don't You Worry, Hrothgar

Download Song

From "Beowulf: The Rock Opera"

Narrator: The next morning, the news of slaughter reached Hrothgar, who immediately put a high price on Grendel's head. Outside of Heorot, a gathering of bounty hunters lined up in front of Hrothgar to take their turn at fighting Grendel, who crouched warily inside the mead hall, preparing his defense.

Thane 1:

Don't you worry, Hrothgar

I'll slay the vile beast.

Hrothgar:

Thank you, sir and hurry back,

We'll give you quite a feast.

Isn't it just wonderful

The way that he's so brave

Aeschere:

Good of you to say, my liege,

We'll write that on his grave.

Thane 2:

Don't you worry, Horthgar,

I'll show this thing who's boss.

Hrothgar:

Thank you, and be careful...

Your friend was quite a loss.

Aren't you overwhelmed

With just how boldly he attacked

Aeschere:

Almost made it through the door

With most of him intact.

Hrothgar and Aeschere:

So we'll pray and we'll pray

For our victory today.

We'd fight the beast, ourselves, you see,

But we're to old and grey.

And it only is appropriate

In such a fight we may,

We may just lose a couple men along the way.

Thane 3:

Don't you worry, Horthgar,

I'll slay the fiend somehow.

Hrothgar:

Thank you, brave retainer

It should be full by now.

I pray that he'll come back to us,

His death would be our third.

Aeschere:

Well, at least his head came back

Your prayer was partly heard.

Thane 1:

Don't you worry, Hrothgar,

This Grendel's ass is mine!

Hrothgar:

All the rest have died so far,

But we're sure you'll do fine.

Thanes as brave as he is

Should be held in high regard.

Aeschere:

If he weren't dead I'd tell him

Thanks for trying so darn hard.

Hrothgar and Aeschere:

So we'll pray and we'll pray

For our victory today.

We'd fight the beast, ourselves, you see,

But we're to old and grey.

And it only is appropriate

In such a fight we may,

We may just lose a couple men along the way.

Don't Tread

Download Song

From "Sleepy Hollow: The Rock Opera"

Ichabod:

Mr. Bones, good to see

The flies that precede you

Sadly, Katrina regrets

We shan't need you.

Brom:

Don't tread,

You're over your head

If our little miss lied

Then you were misled.

But you don't want my patience tried

So don't tread on me!

Katrina implied surely we are to wed

You can't win, or even narrow the spread

Tools like you should be left in the shed

Mark my word, you'd do best not not to tread on me!

Ichabod:

Your hands smell like feet

Your breath is a weapon

What did you eat

Or what did you step in

Brom, I don't see how you could expect

To win her sympathy, let alone her respect

Without a drive besides

Getting even and getting wrecked so don't tread on me.
