The original demo written and recorded in 2008 for "The Happy Evil Love Song." We changed it slightly for the show, but I've aways had a soft spot for the original, jaunty, slightly more raw and romantically sinister version. 

Recorded on Garageband. All instruments and vocals: JCB 

The Happy Evil Love Song (Original Version)
Words and music by Jon Colton Barry

Love was once a crazy dream
Now it’s my new evil scheme
And I’m as happy as can be
If you’ll plan it all with me

We’ll take this town by force
Hand in hand, of course
And I’m as happy as can be
It’s the age old story how

An evil boy meets an evil girl
We got a love strong enough 
To rule the whole wide world
We both maniacally laugh
At all the same things
First we’ll steal a glance, then a kiss
And then our wedding rings 

When our robot armies march
To the beating of our hearts
I’m as happy as can be
With this evil girl by me

Hey, Doctor, I’m all yours
Matching lab coats: His and Hers
And I’m as happy as can be
When we tell our story how

An evil boy meets an evil girl
We got a love strong enough 
To rule the whole wide world
We both maniacally laugh
At all the same things
First we’ll steal a glance, then a kiss
And then our wedding rings

Excite Me Much

Unholy river

I

I was a bell jar full of storm
and you a trapping lid
boy you´re such a Nancy boy
so I guess that makes me Sid
In my bed I sleep with many books
and they please me like you never did

// 

Show me slowly
how you stole me
from the deep blue sea
and now you tell me off
you won´t be needing more of me

he says he tried 
but he failed to deliver
and words run right through
me like some 
Unholy river
Unholy river


II

I had a vivid dream I wore a satin dress
barefeet and red lips like Marilyn Monroe
I had an avid man and he had avid hands
and I cried in his face: give me shelter
I cried in his face: keep me warm
or please let me go

//

Show me slowly
how you stole me
from the deep blue sea
and now you tell me off
you won´t be needing more of me

he says he tried 
but he failed to deliver
and words run right through
me like some 
Unholy river
Unholy river

UNHOLY RIVER

Dogeye minute 

I.
It was a street-shark-kiss on the lips
you shoved me up to the wall
you counted 1 2 3 4 
baby yeah you knew I would fall
baby yeah you knew I would fall

II.
Wet with praises and off your face
you with your dogeyes bitten with
my love it´s only minutes ticking 
and all of this will be forgotten
a mouth full of you
is a mouth full of cotton

Chorus:
It was a dogeye minute
then you went awol
can´t call that love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x4)

III.
Cold white tiles I´m gonna stay awhile
barefeet, hurt and dry I´d walk a mile
eye to eye just to say
Hey wasn´t it all just a
Hey wasn´t it all just a

Chorus:
Dogeye minute 
then you went awol
can´t call the love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x4)

Bridge:
An eye for an eye
a kiss for a tooth
a headache, a sunrise
a table for one
now that you´re gone
wasn´t it all just a 
wasn´t it all just a

Chorus:
Dogeye minute 
then you went awol
can´t call the love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x2)

It´s like I never knew you, knew you
At all 
It´s like I never knew you, knew you
At all 
At all.

DOGEYE MINUTE
