Artist Bio:

5 facts about The Society Islands

1. The Society Islands is mostly one guy who made a vow to play every single instrument he can get a hold of - no matter what the consequences.

2. The Society Islands' music originated in the total absence of daylight - and if we hadn't told you, you probably wouldn't have realized. Apart from that... if it doesn't scare the cows, who cares?

3. The Society Islands refuse to overly emote, write lyrics based on washing powder commercials or sing in the nowadays popular "my balls are in a meat grinder, but life is so happy... and so sad" fashion. Many people might therefore dislike them.

4. The Society Islands know that, and frankly... they don't give a flying ****.

5. The Society Islands are a beautiful place. We think that W.C. Fields said it best when he said: "I'd rather be here than in Philadelphia". We wholeheartedly invite you to immigrate and make yourself at home. Expect parrots.

Lyrics: Click To View Or Hide Song Lyrics
Jane and her best friend Jill
Went down to the mill
And you should believe me

Thoughts those pitiless thoughts
Youre dying for naught
You better believe me

(enter your father)

Jane (while he spoke he went strolling on)
The right to complain (bathing cats in petroleum)
Is something youll gain (carving hearts into linoleum)
The minute youre leaving (truly spoken, go now)

Away from the man who stole your ring
Away from your familys ugly things

Fault now that you mention it, it wasnt your fault
Little darling, you swam an ocean of salt
And drank of waters, someone said they could heal you

(just go)

Away from the cold and darkening plains
Away from the fever that remains
Or you will end as some used-up bride
In the countryside

Time maybe itll mess up your plans
But thats in the hands of god
Time again playing tricks on your mind
Cause times not a line or what?

She is looking good
She is feeling fine

Why did you make no protest?
How could you let them all scale you?
Is this what you chose
Or the reward for whats failed you?
Why did you come to the heather
When he wanted you to come?
And when he came then why did it
Make you feel so numb?
Girl you will end as some used-up bride
In the country

Charlotte
Emily and Anne
Well Anne was a man
Trying to deceive me

And Jane
And her best friend Jill
Went down to the mill
Now do you believe me?
» Your Life Is A Hotel
Album: Kiss & Tell
Label: TRC - The Record Company
Genre: Alt Country
Lyrics: Click To View Or Hide Song Lyrics   Warning: Explicit!
Among the living dead
With a wet cigarette
Wish you were safe inside my head cause I worry
That you might be dead

Theres been a red alert
Im in the mood for a flirt
Cause Im so bored of what I know bout love now
Im about to desert

And now Im reeling at your beautiful shade
Its check-in time but I was too late

Because your life
Your life is a hotel, how
Id like to spend my days in your Capri Lounge
Or whistle with the janitors underground
Your penthouse must be work of the devil
But my job is sweeping floors on a level
So far below

Youve got a vacancy
But its too large for me
I cant afford a boudoir by now, girl
Well have to wait and see

Well, I know the motherfucking debate
You **** cant play it straight
(get the **** out of my entrance)

Your life is a hotel, how

You are the weather cat of Mt. Labelle, son
Youre going to reap the fruits of your beautys spell: none
You think your face will make the concierge fall?
The C in Capitalism stands for Charmers Appal
Thats all you do!

Hotdogs At Sunset


Hotdogs at sunset
They puzzle my mind
My liver, my bladder
Im falling behind

Back to the girls in the gymnasium

We had no reason to be sad
Not in a lifetime
Nicknaming our used cars, well
My darling Nikki, how bout some vodka?

Hotdogs at sunset
At spring break
At peace
Well maybe Ill give you that quarter
For two more of these

Come on get more margaritas

We had no reason to be sad
Not by my wifes spine
Trick-gangsters land on mars
And Coco Chanel, shes
Holding the scalpel

Its 1000 Volts
Hot pants and colts
The sun is firing upon the **** parade
Just pull your con
We all know that youre no nun
Its time to play, so
Why bother with the booze when the drink of the days

Hotdogs at sunset
Sunset at sunset

Lyrics: Click To View Or Hide Song Lyrics
Picture me
With a machete
Cutting a path through the swampotyme
To the house of Synne

I remember
When I first saw Milanee
With her sister Krista stuck in dough
And calling me in

Calling me in

Come and see how its been done
The electric love thats ours
Pulsing in the vessels of our home
Nothing but longing has led you to our house
Youve come a long way

From dough to lovers cake
From chewing gum to rubber armour
From pottery to pornography

I stayed a fortnight
Or a life
Living in a first story dwelling of their kitchen sink

Just remember
When you first see Milanee
Make sure youre walking head high
When they call you in

Call you in

Come and see how its been done

Hey girlfriend
Cant you see
Im charged with a lovers energy
And you cant take this load off me
No more
