survivor

oh my stare was blank

and my heart was blue

for the slip was pink

and my face it would have been too

were i not a survivor

were i not a survivor

for the mentally ill

and their advocates

and pride that comes

from knowing you didn't quit

i commend the survivors

i commend the survivors

who endure and endure

and when they shut the door

somehow they still endure and endure and endure

and though the milk is spilled

and the dye is cast

and the fire drill...

well all that's in the past

you are still a survivor

you are still a survivor

who endures and endures

and though they've shut the door

somehow you still endure and endure and endure

suzi's request:

What is your song idea?

I need a song about getting fired from a social work job because fire drills were turned in late. Mentally ill were advocated for, heart and soul was poured into helping people, but those damned drills...

silly

like a breeze like the wumpus

even walls have their flowers

even bacteria have powers

and the least expected are the most infectious

so prepare yourself i'm still undetected

there are holes in our histories

even the maps we draw have mysteries

and we draw the earth like we sit above it

but i warn you sir i'm still undiscovered

oh

like a breeze like the wumpus

i walk easily through the campus

and i wear the traits that you hardly notice

for my prize it goes to those who look the closest

oh

and i wear the traits that you hardly notice

for my prize it goes to those who look the closest

What is your song idea?

I need a song that says I'm the kind of person you want to get to know, but doesn't come off as egotistical. A kind of subtly awesome vibe. I'm confident, artistic, funny in a quirky sort of way, and talented, but I'd never tell you that. It just needs to say, hey take another look over here, I'm pretty cool.

ice cream sushi

yoshimi your ice cream it is teeming

with the fresh fish flavors of sushi

it's a big whoop-dee-dah-doo-dee-doo

and the haters

some of them i count as my neighbors

oh they can't get their heads round your flavors

but i know better i savor you

like oh canada

the land that i love

keep bringing me flavors of...

ice cream sushi

ooo

ice cream sushi

Jim's request

What is your song idea?

A song that tries to answer if ice cream is still "ice cream" if sushi is part of the makeup of the "ice cream"......Does it tread on the essence and integrity of ice cream?....Is it just a clever way to keep the sushi fresh?.....Are the Japanese culinary samurai just going for the Wow factor?...Maybe Yoshimi knows....?...Who invented ice cream anyway?(dont touch that blackberry!)

Zombie Pop

Words and music by Rachelintrees

Listen up atari playas

It's time to decide who will win this thing

Vampires, robots, or zombies?

Zombies want to eat my brain

their rotten smell drives me insane

and not in a good way

not in a good way

Robots they are very smart

a sure way to a girl's heart

but they've no genitalia

and thus are doomed to failure

I want a man

who'll understand me

meet my needs

We want a man

who'll understand us

meet our needs

Vampires know how to please

making me weak in the knees

I knew it from the start

they're victorious for my heart

victorious for my heart

Josh's Request:

who is the imagined singer

Peter Murphy (Bauhaus) OR 50s Bubblegum Pop singers

who is the intended listener

video game players

ask three questions

1) Who will be victorious: the vampires, the robots, or the zombies?

2) What makes humans so delicious?

3) Where can you hide in your neighborhood?

honeymoon, the blushing bride

crossed the threshold, what did she find?

her wedding bed a barren frame

and the wind it was calling her name: dorothy dorothy dorothy

lover lover, where have you taken me

across the river in a strange country

lover lover, will we ever return

if you wish dear but hear me out first

dorothy dorothy

be with me eternally

sleep with me under the floor

dorothy dorothy

hush now succumb to me

and i'll be eternally yours

lover lover, where is my dress

you took it off dear, you've no need of it

lover lover, where is your flesh

i gave it up, now i'm merely this breath whispering

dorothy dorothy

be with me eternally

sleep with me under the floor

dorothy dorothy

choose now or run from me

for i'll answer one question more

lover lover, how will i change

you'll remember nothing, only your name

dorothy dorothy

be with me eternally

sleep with me under the floor

dorothy dorothy

hush now succumb to me

and i'll be eternally yours

dorothy dorothy

someone was calling me

oh but my memory is so poor

dorothy dorothy

that once was the name for me

but now i'm eternally yours

Erin's request

What is your song idea?

Honeymoon- arrived at a lonely cabin on a mountain at midnight- creepy old pictures on the walls & bare light bulbs hanging from the ceilings. The # for Bear Control on the refrigerator. Upstairs attic with creaky floors, 10 beds, and a small sink (it looked like an insane asylum). Outdoor unlit Wizard of Oz-ish cellar to turn the water on. It sucked.

Now I know this isn't written like a haiku

And maybe you were feeling the G.I. Blues

But the Tendrils are writing to remind you

That there's only five states for you to drive through

oh oh

And this beginning is the middle, just earlier

because nothing ever changes, just the furniture

and though the author's getting famous like "I've heard of her"

it's really not a corner it's a curvature

oh oh

so your friends are the one who encircle you

and a circle is the radius pi 2

and i know this isn't written like a haiku

but maybe Mr. Presley will inspire you to

Get down Sonja, Sonja get down

Get down Sonja, Sonja get down

Get down Sonja, Sonja get down

Get down Jim, Sonja get down

so your friends are the one who encircle you

and a circle is the radius pi 2

and i know this isn't written like a haiku

but maybe Mr. Presley will inspire you to

Get down Sonja, Sonja get down

Get down Sonja, Sonja get down

Get down Sonja, Sonja get down

Get down Jim, Sonja get down

Get down Sonja, Sonja get down

Get down Sonja, Sonja get down

Get down Sonja, Sonja get down

C to F, etc (Elf Princess Gets a Harley cover)

The Wiggly Tendrils are pleased to offer this tribute to the brilliant musicians in Elf Princess Gets a Harley. Listen to their new album. It's fantastic!

Here is the original version by Elf Princess Gets a Harley...

We are meeting for the very first time

And we are in love

We are silly and stupid, trite and cliche

And we're true you know

We are more than this quote unquote deep connection

We are more are more than this incurable infection in my stupid heart

Whoa

You should be my boyfriend

Yeah yeah yeah

Make a hideous blunder and be like

And be like my boyfriend

Yeah yeah yeah

Did you find what you're looking

Oh did you find what you're looking for

In my eyes

Because I found what I'm looking for

I found what I'm looking for

In your eyes

Yeah

I don't know much about you

But I have a hunch in my stupid heart

Whoa

You should be my boyfriend

Yeah yeah yeah

Make a hideous blunder and be like

And be like my boyfriend

Yeah yeah yeah

Whoa

You should be my boyfriend

Yeah yeah yeah

Make a hideous blunder and be like

And be like my boyfriend

You should be my boyfriend

Make a hideous blunder and be like
