The Only Girl at the Sci Fi Convention

Download Song

From "There, There"

I'm the only girl at the sci fi convention

I'm the only girl and I don't know why.

I'm the only girl at the sci fi convention

I'm the only girl and I don't know why.

Come to me

Daughters of the Renaissance

Camouflaged in nonchalance

Far too buttoned-down to be obsessed

With Q&As

With the guest celebrity

But historical fiction

It will carpet bomb your mind with contradictions

And conventional science

It will break your heart

And leave you faithless

And the jet black fingernails go

Ra-ta-ta-tat, Ra-ta-ta-tat, Ra-ta-tat

I'm the only girl and I don't know why.

I'm the only girl at the sci fi convention

I'm the only girl and I don't know why.

Come to me

Daughters of the Renaissance

Give the body what it wants

Find a serial that smacks of truth

Pick your booth

Pick the future that you crave

But historical fiction

It will carpet bomb your mind with contradictions

And conventional science

It will break your heart

And leave you faithless

And the jet black fingernails go

Ra-ta-ta-tat, Ra-ta-ta-tat, Ra-ta-tat

But historical fiction

It will carpet bomb your mind with contradictions

And conventional science

It will break your heart

And leave you leave leave you faithless

And the jet black fingernails go

Ra-ta-ta-tat, Ra-ta-ta-tat, Ra-ta-tat

I'm the only girl at the sci fi convention

I'm the only girl and I don't know why.

I'm the only girl at the sci fi convention

I'm the only girl and I don't know why.

(Lauren London - vocals)

The Old Tongue

Download Song

From "Approach Approach Conflict"

We 're trying to speak the old tongue

Preserve the old ways

Got to salute the old guard

Champion the codes of old

We 're trying to hum the old tunes

Uphold the old mores

Got to ensure the old world

Narrative is properly told

Long live the old tongue

In the song of a young girl now

When the sunbeams come

Cascading from her mouth

We 're trying to speak the old tongue

Preserve the old ways

Knock a few back for the old days

A few brandy old-fashioneds, neat

We 're drowning the curb for old friends

40 ozs of Old Style

Crying with each old-fangled mangled

Drunken old fool we meet

Long live the old tongue

In the song of a young girl now

When the sunbeams come

Cascading from her mouth

When the young girl sings

Then the old familiars tingle

With a fury, a fury anew

We 're trying to speak the old tongue

Preserve the old ways

Got to salute the old guard

Champion the codes of old

We 're trying to hum the old tunes

Uphold the old mores

Got to ensure the old world

Narrative is properly told

Trying to save the old world

And the old time band

In the music box is playing

The old tunes, the old tunes, the old tunes

The Old Minstrel's Jig

Download Song

From "Sleepy Hollow: The Rock Opera"

Ichabod:

Katrina, here, have some more wine

Just say when

Katrina:

Okay, when... that's just fine

Ichabod:

So, I've heard that you're quite a good dancer.

Katrina:

And I've heard lesser men use that line

But now that you mention it,

Let's go, the honor is mine.

Hedrick:

Katrina's the queen of the feast

Clocky:

And Ichabod's such an artiste

Dame Hedrick:

They dance like a storybook couple

Clocky:

Yeah, "Beauty and the Epileptic Beast"

Brom:

As soon as this song ends

I'll see that this madness is ceased

The Night That Eight Belles Died

Download Song

From "and then the training takes over..."

Our little girl was also three

The night that Eight Belles died

Cheering on the only filly

How could I explain this

Fa fa fa fa

Fa fa fa fa fa

On the night that Eight Belles Died

Fa fa fa fa

Fa fa fa fa fa

On the night that Eight Belles Died

Sixteen to one

At the Derby

And oh, could she run

Did you see how she won

The Honeybee Stakes

But it was Big Brown

Big Brown

All the way

At Churchill Downs

He made a three wide move

Around the far turn

And opened up down the lane

But out the gate she raced

Close to the pace

And a couple lengths down on the backstretch

Then she rallied and turned for home

By the eighth pole

There was only one left she could not catch

Fa fa fa fa

Fa fa fa fa fa

On the night that Eight Belles Died

Fa fa fa fa

Fa fa fa fa fa

On the night that Eight Belles Died

Dr. Bramalge standing on the sidelines

Give us some news

Dr. Bramalge standing on the sidelines

The heart of a

Heart of a

Heart of a locomotive

The ankles of

Ankles of

Ankles of champagne flutes

The heart of a

Heart of a

Heart of a locomotive

The ankles of

Ankles of

Ankles of champagne flutes

Fa fa fa fa

Fa fa fa fa fa

On the night that Eight Belles Died

Fa fa fa fa

Fa fa fa fa fa

On the night that Eight Belles Died
