“The Devil’s Carnival” DVD Is Yours!
Dearest Plague Rats, Carnies, All!
As much as we toiled and troubled to bring this magical musical movie to you on the TDC N. American tours, theaters only hold so many, and, besides, what of the rest of the world?? Exactly. And that is why it is such a bloody big deal that “The Devil’s Carnival” can now be your very own, to watch over and over in the privacy of your own home, or where ever else you deem not illegal to watch such a thing.
FLAG Release Date Announced: July 24th, 2012
Oh, yes. It’s coming.
“Fight Like A Girl”, my new album, featuring music from my upcoming “The Asylum FWVG” Broadway musical, will be in your furry claws on July 24th.
FLAG Lyrics: Goodnight, Sweet Ladies (Funeral March)
GOODNIGHT, SWEET LADIES (FUNERAL MARCH)
Goodnight, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet again
With rosemary green and bright
You’re not forgotten. Eternal night
Won’t fade your memory, dim your light
You’ve made a difference, you’ve won your fight
We lift our branches, and though we weep
No death could conquer, you only sleep
Goodnight, sweet ladies
Goodnight, sweet friends
You lie but sleeping
Someday we will meet again
Do You Know What Day It Is?
Dearest Plague Rats,
Do you know what day it is?
It’s “International Dance A Pirate Jig Day” !!!!
I know, right??!?! Exciting! Now, when I think of a proper Pirate Jig, I see something rather like the sweet dance moves of a leprechaun but even drunker and with an eye patch. Peg leg optional. Or maybe that’s just because I spend too much time on stage with Captain Maggots…
VOTE for my Scorpion!!!
To all Plague Rats, Carnies, Sinners, and, of course, those undecided or in-between,
I’ve only just returned home to the Asylum from an all-too-brief touring adventure with my ‘The Devil’s Carnival’ tour family, an adventure that will oh so happily resume on May 3rd in Chicago at the Music Box Theatre. Whilst you shall shortly be receiving pages and pages of documentation of all that goes on inside the TDC tour van, who has an obsession with Applebee’s, tales of all the beautiful freaks I met in our audiences, what it’s like to be Painted Doll, and my personal review of the film, I must first present to you a MISSION. This mission cannot wait another moment, and, as such, must take precedence above all other things…
FLAG Lyrics: Take The Pill
"Take The Pill" being performed live on the N. American F.L.A.G. Tour, 2012. Thanks to photog, unknown...
Take the pill that makes you weaker
Take the pill that makes you sick
Take the pill or you’ll be sorry
Take this bloody pill and make it quick
Take the pill that kills your sex drive
Take the pill that makes you cry
Take the pill that burns your insides
Take the pill that makes you want to die
Be careful what you say…
FLAG Lyrics: Time For Tea
"It's Time For Tea" being performed live on the N. American F.L.A.G. Tour, 2012. Thanks to photog, unknown...
TIME FOR TEA
There was a little girl, who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead
And when she was good, she was very, very good
But when she was bad, she was homicidal!
Hatchet… Check!
Scalpel… Check!
Rusty steel syringe… Check!
It’s time for war!
It’s time for blood!
It’s time for TEA!
One day that little girl may find a filthy metal spike
FLAG Lyrics: Gaslight
"Gaslight" being performed live on the F.L.A.G. N. American Tour, 2012. Thanks to photog, unknown...
GASLIGHT
The wheels are turning
Broken machinery
It grinds below us
And all around I see
The crooked ceiling
The old familiar halls
The dirty paper
That’s covering the walls
The shattered staircase
The bed I’m bleeding in
We’ve tried to fight this
But we can never win
And in the gaslight that brings both life and death
If it’s like last night this could be my last breath
FLAG Lyrics: One Foot In Front Of The Other
Just after performing "One Foot In Front Of The Other" live on the N. American F.L.A.G. Tour, 2012. Thanks to photog, unknown...
ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER
How did I get myself into all this mess?
How did I end up with this deadly home address?
How did I come to this, where every song I sing
Is nothing but a list of pain and suffering?
We never will forget, and no, we will not forgive
We’ve fought hard not to die, yet we don’t know how to live
FLAG Lyrics: Fight Like A Girl
"Fight Like A Girl" being performed live on the N. American F.L.A.G. Tour, 2012. Thanks to photog, unknown...
FIGHT LIKE A GIRL
My heart is a weapon of war
My voice is my weapon of choice
An eye for an eye
A heart for a heart
A soul for a soul
We fight for the dream
We fight to the death
We fight for control
But there is no such thing as justice
All the best that we can hope for is revenge
A hostile takeover
An absolute rebellion to the end
This is our battle cry
I’m giving you a head start
You’re going to need it
