Red Vs Blue-Jeff Williams-The More (Explicit)-Lyrics

This one is about a girl meeting a boy at a bar in Boston called Foley's. Vale Deah might be about a member of Trocadero, but since no one in the band could remember ever being at Foley's, it's probably not.  This was one of the early songs where Wendy really outdid herself on both creating a beautiful, creamy soundscape on the verses, as well as pushing the envelope (pun intended) of the Moog on her intense solo to close the tune.
You can hear Vale Deah over the credits of the RvB Season 1 DVD, as well as Bungie's ViDoc "Oh Brave New World." 

Lyrics:
I somehow knew you were there
Lookin' like you didn't care
I reached for the change in my pocket
I counted the change in my pocket

I wanted to buy you a beer 
I somehow knew you were near
The bartender said it's okay...

Vale Deah

Wendy came up with that theme that plays at the start of the tune, and she and I played it with it for a while. The whole song sort of all came together. If you're a Bungie fan, no doubt you'll have an easy time figuring out the inspiration for this song. If you're not, then you're doing it wrong!

Lyrics:
I was once, underground
07 years without a sound
Ten Shadow Punch
In my arm
Leads me to the funny farm...

I'm a rogue, samurai
Devil spins me and I fly
Kicking far, kicking wide
It's the secret that I hide...

Rise, and shine
Burn, and glow
Rise, and shine
Here, I go

Funny Farm

A short piece that was written to accompany a car chase montage in RvB Season 2.  And by car chase, we mean puma chase.  Er, chupacabra chase.  Walrus chase?

Punch It

You're hanging with someone who acts like an alien, you've played too much Space Invaders (Taito version, of course), the lines start getting blurred... 

Lyrics:
It’s time for you to know
Call this an early warning
My late resignation

It seems all systems are go
for this emergency transmission
3....2....1.....zero

You are like a Space Invader
You crippled all my cities
To waste and desolation

You are like a Space Invader
And by your own admission
You’re a human hater

This game is over...

All of the words that you said, were a lie, Invader
Coming down.

Space Invader

It's kind of a Boston hurrah type of song. Not really about booty calls, but more about leafing through your address book while doing shots. Dated, since no one has address books anymore, not ones made of paper anyway. Don't get too attached to the keyboard solo -- a different one is played at each performance.  You can hear a bit of (517) in that old RvB episode where, uh, the puma tries to kill sarge.

Lyrics:
213 girls talk too much
And 212 boys not enough
312s are very bold
Man 206 gets way too cold
Doing shots I'm all alone
I slur my words after the tone

And I drink and I call...

I can't stand to be alone...
Save me on the telephone.

419s they hate the phone
And 208s are never home
And all my lovers they have voice mail
They call me back, they give me hell!

And I drink and I call...

I've dialed the numbers, dialed them all
But nothing beats, a local call

617 boys, hmm, 617 girls, hmm
617 boys, hmm, 617 girls, hmm

(617)

Words can't even begin to describe the depth and power of Alan Moore's Watchmen and neither can music, but we had to try. This tune features original Trocaderist Susan Hsia, who co-wrote it. Sadly, she left the band for inconsequential things like Harvard, work, love and marriage.  Superhero appears in Episode 28 of RvB

Lyrics:
True American love,
Is like a green Coke bottle
They don't make it anymore
Part of me died back in '64...

I want to be a superhero
I've got a mask I've got a name
Your days calling me freak are numbered
Don't bother with surrender

We were so wrong
All dressed up, with somewhere to go
We wanted to do right, but
The costume fits just a little too tight...

I want to be a superhero
(I want to be a superwoman)

I don't have any super-powers
(I'll hang out with my super girlfriends)

I want to be a superhero, I don't need any super...
(Talk about our days)

I'm gonna be a superhero
I don't need (have) any super-powers

Your days calling me freak are numbered
(and pushing me around, well)

My broken heart's a super-power
(they're over, they're over, over)

Superhero

Nico: Susan and I used to really get into the X Files (we started around seaon 3.) The tension and chemisty between the two protagonists was just so tangible... the piano theme at the beginning was played on a Casiotone -- I swear it beats a 9 1/2 foot Steinway in this context.

Lyrics:
With my games, and your games
And the rules we hate the same
And my breath, and your breath
As I hear you call my name

Like two parts, face to face
And the whole, falls into place
All as one...

With my dad, and your dad
And the gin, they never had
And my rules, and your rules
And your heart, and mine it cools
Beating hard... 

Follow the truth, follow the lies
Nobody wins, everything dies...

With your art, and my art
To instigate, a change of heart
And your heart, and your mind
And your body, next to mine
