about

Music courtesy of Devon Dunbar, excepting the intro which I realize now was completely stolen from Sonic Reducer by The Dead Boys, but is generally elevated by the nice piano part written by Dani Fournier. I will assume Devon will forever curse us for not doing justice to his precious masterpiece, but we couldn't be arsed to add 16 synthesizer parts, a glockenspiel or a sound effects reel. The lyrics are inspired in part by the highly underrated Dave Davies song Wicked Annabella.

lyrics

Julia Peculiar, you been a naughty girl
It'll come back to haunt you
You killed all of your children, you pushed 'em in a well
You did it, but you didn't want to
The voices in your head
told you what to do
when everyone you love is dead
ah, what will you do?
Your crime career is through!
J.P. is locked up inna dock
all alone and frightened
with teams of doctors to watch you round the clock
keep yr jacket straightly tightened
oh how they love to see your pretty face
wracked with guilt and regret
for all the crimes you'll never perpetrate
ah, but you might still yet
the voices in yr head will never go away
you'll raise the tally of the dead
when you're released someday
then oh, the price they'll pay

The less you know about this band, the better. Rumor has it that they're very bad people, paranoid, misanthropic, frequently given to melancholy and intellectual dullards to boot.
