Over my dead body

[jetaimetruffaut]

I don't think it's too premature to add this song to the pantheon of my favorite BSP songs:

Over in the corner
Electrical boxes all made of light
Little lights for you
A little light, and shadows too

And all they ever told you
Darkness and conjecture overrule
And I know what you said
And I know what you did, but it's hard to prove
Oh, oh so innocent

Over my dead body, you might win
Over my dead body, let them in
Yellow, pink, and blue are innocent
Oh, let them in
So let them win

It's over in the morning
As a reef shark flaps against the failing moon
Oh no, it won't do
A little less light, and shadows too
So nothing's left to lose now
As a whistling star emits a quiet noise
Oh, it could be me or you

Over my dead body, you might win
Over my dead body, you might win
Over my dead body, you might win
Over my dead body, you might win

Yellow, pink, and blue the innocent
They're innocent so let them win
So let them win
Oh, let them win

Over my dead body, you might win
Over my dead body, oh, you might win
Oh, you might win
Oh, you might win
Innocent, oh you might just win

Now, if only Open Season had sounded anything like this song, I'm positive I'd enjoy it much more. "Over in the Corner" sounds like nothing else they have recorded. It's a step in the right direction, I think. I've listened to every single song BSP have recorded (and some they haven't) and this is easily up there with the best of them.

I love this picture of Hammy and Yan from the Echo show last year. I've got one almost exactly like it in my own personal collection.


Isn't it lovely?
