1.	Hunubunu 04:46	lyrics
And we started up a band couldn't play worth a damn All hail the Friendly Pancake I bought a shiny blue guitar with a shiny whammy bar Watch the next door neighbors panic Rockin' out in small cafes cuz theirs nowhere left to play Well, that's our town. I guess we'll take it. So we wrote a million songs and then we played them wrong and no one knew that we faked So we loaded up the van and we traveled cross the land living on beer and tacos And we slept on random floors A twenty's our cut of the door That's okay, we brought our pillows. There is a way you gaze in my eyes Take me away, I beg you There is a place you make come alive And I do this for you. I saw my friend the other day He said the boss had seen us play Bless my soul, we're gonna make it! So we went to see the man And he smiled and shook our hands and no one knew that we faked it
2.	Flying Vs and Vaseline 03:12	lyrics
The night's thick sweat looks good on you sponged so sweetly Dripping bodies through the gloom I'm glad you met me Your dress slips down around your feet, not innocently You lack of any decency Won't you touch me? Feel the rush and feed the glow Say you wanna take control Be my drug and break me slow Be my lover Feel my rush and always know Be my drug and break me slow When we touch I taste your soul Be my lover Be my lover Be my lover Be my lover Your dress slips down around your feet Won't you touch me? You lack of any decency Oh, so lovely Feel my rush and feed the glow Say you wanna take control When we touch I taste your soul Be my drug and break me slow When we touch I taste your soul Be my lover Be my lover Be my lover Be my lover
3.	Tell Me All Your Secrets 03:52	lyrics
I crept inside your room the other day I peeked inside your drawer to see your sexy lingerie What I found buckled my knees and dropped me to the ground safe and sound She left her phone unlocked and so he read its texts He feared to find incriminating dirty talk, a lot of sexts But nothing could prepare him for what he found out next He was perplexed And you can tell me all your secrets And you can tell me all your lies But if you tell me one more thing about your life I'll lose my faith And lose my spine Emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness and God is empty like me oh Billy, lots of people lose their hair. It's no big deal. Nuff said. But then you doubled down with the shaving of your head. Okay. But then you doubled down again with that whole Nosferatu thing And ultimately you seem a little bitter I'm tired of being bitter Maybe we should try to be happy for a while not like Billy, he's disconnected by your smile What's wrong, Billy? I feel like a rat in a cage Let, let me out And you can tell me all your secrets And you can tell me all your lies But if you tell me one more thing about your life I'll lose my faith and lose my spine I'll lose my faith and lose my spine I'll lose my faith Secrets and lies!
4.	Suffer 03:45	lyrics
Meet me backstage with a glass of champagne and a kiss She's in the green room preparing her handcuffs and whips Never you mind but I do kind of like how you scream This adverb dilemma is wasting all my precious ink I will be your lover First you have to suffer I will be your lover First you have to suffer Two points for me when you spill my soft drink on the street Who's keeping score? I should get bonus points cuz I'm sweet I can be your lover First you have to suffer I will be your lover First you have to suffer

about

My very first band, about twenty-ish years ago, was called Floppias. We had much fun. Today, a handful of unrecorded tunes still bounce around my head from time to time. I mostly remembered how to play one or two of them, and my attempt to recall another sent me hunting through old VHS tapes to study performances. All in all, it's been a pleasure to revisit these songs, play drums, sing, record, mix, and basically geek out playing home studio.
