Synthwave Sessions With Luna Coverdale Session 2 Episode 26

A tribute to a friend's angry bees, via worries about ecological collapse, Marge Simpson and Top Gun

Keep your neb out John, it's none of your beeswax
Make sure the honey Johnny stays in the hive
We are wasps with PR, who's the Queen of the colony?
It's in your best interests to keep us alive.

Oh - Where's the honey, Johnny?
Dancing in circles at the edge of the sun
We'll be catching it, waggle dance, feet in the pollen
Don't you jive with the hive
Oh Johnny what have you done?

Ooh-wah-ooh
It's the needs of the bees, its the bees with their needs
Ooh-wah-ooh
Where's the honey Johnny?
None of your beeswax, let's float in the weeds

Chock full of nicotine! Ah you know what I mean
Oh my hexagons have gone all wrong
Got my wings in a rush, can't get enough of the stuff
And I can't remember my way home
Keep it clean for the Queen, don't you know where I've been?
I've been flying too long in the sun
I'll be catching it, waggle dance, feet in the pollen
Bring back the honey, Johnny, what have you done?

(Chorus)

Buzz the tower!

None of your beeswax

Buzz buzz buzz
Buzz the tower, buzz the tower, let's go float in the weeds
Take me to your leader honey, where is the Queen?

Bees knees, Bees needs, none of your beeswax
Bees knees, Bees needs, dance to the sun
Bees knees, Bees needs, none of your beeswax
Bring back the honey Johnny, what have you done?

None of your Beeswax (Rewaxed)

Semghat Id - Daqq (HBIT Remix)

I am a curious creature
A spiral bound prisoner of sleepy lagoons
And when we meet in the future
I'll be a memory cast in the layers of stone
Of lava and silicon
Under the bladder wrack
Tentacles reaching in warm brackish pools
While rising land masses breed thunder and lightning
That rage as the turbulent world starts to cool

Riding saltwater currents in temperate seas
Underneath the foam and the mare's tails that dance in the breeze
The sparkle and shimmer of wide open skies
The embrace of sediment
Fossil Eyes
Yeah Fossil Eyes

I am an alien being
That drifts on mercurial currents of time
Until the eyes of a curious child
Fall bright on the shadows that I left behind
A life in transition, yeah
Literal, littoral.
Hiding in crevasses away from the sun.
The grinding of shingle banks
Guttural, guttural
Dies with the tide and our world is reborn

Riding saltwater currents in temperate seas
Underneath the foam and the mare's tails that dance in the breeze
The sparkle and shimmer of wide open skies
The embrace of sediment
Fossil Eyes
Yeah Fossil Eyes

Ammonite, Ammonite, cast in the jet
A guest from the past we can never forget
Ammonite, Ammonite, hidden from view
An echo persists when existence is through

Fossil Eyes

A metaphor for self-reliance, but also totally about the climbing knot

Bit by bit, hand over hand
Up by your bootstraps, stick to your plan

All the rapid ascenders, and death-mod descenders
And people so brave they abandon the rope
But I've got my prusik and that's what I'll use
To climb out of the darkness and into the hope

It's fair to say I'm difficult
But show me someone who is not
People are complicated you know
We'd have a tedious world if they weren't
The prusik will hold!

Inch by inch, hold after hold
Up by your bootstraps, out of the cold

Not enough turns and you'll slide down the mountain
Grip on too tight and you're stuck where you are
Don't lose your cool though, 'cos we've got the prusik
It won't let us down, well, it hasn't so far

It's fair to say I'm cynical
It's the way I've become over time
But even I still rely on the prusik
And I'm sure in the end we'll be fine
Grab your prusik and climb!

Is it prusik or prusik? Just dance to the music!
A Kleimheist just isn't the same
Use what you've got, you can't use what you've not
Oh the prusik, The prusik remains
The prusik remains!

Prusik

Fifty cold years since you turned from his grace
Caterpillar Girl with her hands to her face
She never heard
All his words

One stroke and she's down on her knees
Telephone slightly out of her reach
A burning cold
In her soul

I needed songs not your sermons
But you never knew me
I needed songs not your sermons
But you never, you never knew me

In the ischaemia of things
Peaches and clotted cream for you sins
Decent hacks
Worn out tracks

LP scratches out of it's groove
Paralysed in the darkening room
Nurses words
Turn to worms
Have they heard?

The Old Maid was a banshee
But you never knew me
Songs of discord won't chill me
But you never, you never knew me

Catheter, pill, the thermometer sings
Devil knows of the band you were in
Nurse feign a smile
Take your time

Devil makes work, but ECT will free it
I don't think they succeeded
Fight fire with fire
It's my funeral pyre

Father Pious at the ICU door
Last Rites a little premature
I'm half alive
Don't look so surprised

I had a tryst with a witch
Come here

I needed songs not your sermons
But you never knew me
I needed songs not your sermons
But you never knew me
I needed songs not your sermons
But you never knew me
I needed songs not your sermons
But you never, you never knew me

Caterpillar Girl

Whisper in My Ear

It's about yearning to escape, to meet, to reconnect, to reunite, to overcome the hurdles that prevent that; to reach your desired destination at all costs, to get to the other side, one last time.

Lyrics

Driving seat, velveteen upholstery,
Mint green Datsun
Cuts through the midnight snow.
Cigarette smoke, clouds fill my windscreen,
Dash flickers yellow,
Warning lights glow,
Glow red.
Heading out to you,
I know it’s beautiful out there.
Heading out to where you are,
Reach out and hold me,
Hold me, forever.
I’m late I know,
But I’m here now so let’s go.
Ditch side, sun rise,
Our breath melts the morning snow.
Close my eyes and feel your cold hand on mine.
Share our last Marlboro light.
I knew I find a way to get to the other side
One last time.
