Stereotypies:
All was lost, when she died
Benlolo:
When who died Which wife
Stereotypies:
Either or
I always get them confused
Benlolo:
Look,
Youve taken beautiful new bride
Look at her
She looks so unused
Stereotypies:
Wretched wife!
Cursed life!
Anguish and torment and such!
Pain
Woe is me and despair!
And I must suffer in silence
And I must complain
Til it's too much to bear
And I
I'll be forever distraught
Overwrought
Every thought shall be
Fraught with despair
I was crushed
When the sea
Took my true dear
Benlolo:
Which wife was that again
Stereotypies:
Either or
I couldn't tell them apart
Look
I'm trying to conjure a mood here
Hear that sound
That was miserable heart
Help me find
The nearest wall
Or something to bang with my head!
Pain
Woe is me and despair!
And I must suffer in silence
And I must complain
Til it's too much to bear
And I
I'll be forever distraught
Overwrought
Every thought shall be
Fraught with despair
Stereotypies:
Now listen to me, Benlolo. Things are going to change around here. You can't be my hairdresser anymore.
Benlolo:
But, your majesty. My family has been cutting your hair for three generations!
Stereotypies:
Well too bad. From now on, your job is to think of punishments for me. I must be kept miserable at all times.
So when there's good news
Benlolo:
I'll put nails in your shoes
Stereotypies:
Exactly!
And if Ive slept well
Benlolo:
I will stuff all of your pillows with hot ashes
Stereotypies:
And when my armies win
Benlolo:
I'll pour bugs on your skin
Stereotypies:
And if you cheer me up
I'll order us both to the dungeon for 10 lashes!
Benlolo:
Both of us
Stereotypies:
12 lashes!
Both:
Pain
Benlolo:
Woe is you and despair!
Stereotypies:
I must suffer in silence
Benlolo:
And you must complain
Well, it only seems fair
Stereotypies:
And I
I'll be forever distraught
Overwrought
Benlolo:
You really ought to be
Punished for each happy thought
Maybe shot!
Stereotypies:
Shot
Benlolo:
Maybe not
Stereotypies:
How much grief have I got
Benlolo:
Quite a lot
Stereotypies:
Quite a lot
And this haircut is lovely
But I'll be forever distraught
Both:
Overwrought
Every thought shall be
Ought to be
Got to be
Fraught with despair!

Pilfer shops and pillage trains
But once he is dispatched
The thief's as good as catched.

From "Approach Approach Conflict"
Never you mind
Never you the mind
You can mourn your way
And I'll mourn mine
Shot from behind
When I was on my way to Denmark
'Cause Denmark needs rock stars
Never you mind
Never you the mind
You can mourn your way
And I'll mourn mine
Shot from behind
I was just on my way to Denmark
'Cause Denmark needs rock stars
You were a confidence man
Oilier than the
Grease gun from
Which you took your name
I was your shoe-gazing mark
Pulled from the dark
Not unstained
But trusting just the same
It's weakness leaving the body, they say
Nevermind
Never you mind
Never you the mind
You can mourn your way
And I'll mourn mine
Shot from behind
When I was on my way to Denmark
'Cause Denmark needs rock stars
Never you mind
Never you the mind
You can mourn your way
And I'll mourn mine
Shot from behind
I was just on my way to Denmark
'Cause Denmark needs rock stars
Strange keepsake,
What would I need one
Pocket-sized sewing kit for
When you split for good
I wore it next to my heart
There where it might stop a bullet
And one day it would
It would
Stop a bullet from leaving my chest
Nevermind
Never you mind
Never you the mind
You can mourn your way
And I'll mourn mine
Shot from behind
When I was on my way to Denmark
'Cause Denmark needs rock stars
Never you mind
Never you the mind
You can mourn your way
And I'll mourn mine
Shot from behind
I was just on my way to Denmark
'Cause Denmark needs rock stars

I can't palm a tennis ball
See these hands
They 're way too small
I'm not really much at all
But love me
Anyway
All my body parts combined
Don't outweigh an orange rind
I'm so small I'm hard to find
But love me
Anyway
Love me anyway
I may not be as big as a squash
At least the prize-winning sort
But at least I am easy to wash
Cause I'm so short short short short
Sleeping is what I do best
Tiny people need their rest
I may be the tiniest
But love me
Anyway
Love me
Anyway
