I've decided to write out my four favorite Faun Fables lyrics, which have not (as far as I can find) been transcribed to the 'net.
I've also made their songs available because these folks are hard to find anywhere. Faun Fables and Idiot Flesh are the two
artists I've found that I simply can't give an accurate description of the genre they're playing, to. If you want to talk about these
lyrics or fix the first few lines of Joshua, that'd be nice: public@[thisdomain.com]
Faun Fables - Lucy Belle lyrics
Lucy Belle, Lucy Belle, in your little house.
Your friends have all gone away today.
Sitting there in the sun, dig a whole f'everyone you know.
Dig 'em up on a rainy day.
Lucy Belle, Lucy Belle, I know what you are.
No way around the fact that you're a dog.
Barking at the little things crawling in the grass,
you understand everything better than I because
la la la la la <3
Because a dog is a man's best friend, is a slave,
is a thief - is a wolf - is a runner for the one-eyed god.
Oh the dead, dead, dead...
Coming back, to ride a lonely dog over the bones of the laws of this world.
Ride an animal down to the kingdom of stones, build a wall around mankind,
break 'em in.
City bird, talking bird, in your little tree. Lucy Belle barks at you, but not at me!
But when the final battle comes, she'll be on your side, I know.
"They're just animals."
City bird, talking bird, you don't seem to mind,
living on scraps of what we've left behind!
But still I think it's just as well: I can't understand your angry chatter, because
la la la la la <3
Because a bird is a man's prize, is a slave.
Is a thief, is a crow, is a runner for the one-eyed god.
Oh the dead, dead, dead...
Coming back to ride a lonely bird over the bones of the laws of this world.
Ride an animal down to the kingdom of stones, build a wall around mankind, break 'em in.
Break us in.
Break us in...

Faun Fables - Rising Din lyrics
My doom awaits me at the bottom of the stairs...
My doom waits patiently down there...
In a crumpled heap, I lie, I never thought I'd die.
With a fresh batch of fast-drying fix-all in my hands.
My end is holding out her all-embracing arms.
My end goes anywhere with her all-consuming charms.
On a bridge over the bay, well, probably not today.
But a leaf darts under my wheels, and I know it's a leaf but I flinch anyway I'M NOT...
nervous, but I hear my name in the falling dust and
the rising din and sound that never tasted breath or shame.
My life sits down and cries with ever-lasting love.
My life hides in your arms, and never will look up to meet my gaze
with the exception of when I lost in love, then I fall down the stairs
drive into your bay laughing all the way, I'M NOT...
nervous, 'cuz I hear your name in the falling dust and the rising din of sound that never tasted breath or...
Shaaaaaaaame <3
(thank you very much) (thanks)

Faun Fables - Still Here lyrics
I been out here all day, you're still not home.
I been watching all day, you're still not home.
I know what your car looks like, you haven't been here.
Maybe you're just on vacation for the whole year.
(baby I just can't believe you're gone)
'cuz I never said goodbye.
I guess you just like there, in your room.
I guess you just might prefer the suffocating gloom.
Protect you from the seasons and the relentless flow of time, and change.
But oh, my baby brother, it's getting dark, your fingernails are getting long and strange.
(baby I just can't believe you're gone)
You're not gone... 'cuz I'll never say goodbye.
But did I? Or did I... maybe I did. Maybe I should have.
Maybe when you said you'd kill me if I came around your place,
maybe when you said that I would have to die before you could find your place.
Eh eh eh... but I'm here, you're here, we're still here.
Eh eh eh... I'm here, you're here, we're still here.
Eh eh eh... I'm here, you're here, we're still here, ah...
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-hah! I'm here, you're here, we're still here.
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-hah! I'm here, you're here, we're still here.
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-hah! I'm here, you're here, we're still here.
The meads new saint, they used to sing long ago and far away.
Catching frogs and stinging bees, climbing up'walls* and maple trees.
You could have been a pirate, sail a ship of old.
You could have been Robin Hood with hair, rose (?) and bow.
You could have been in Ireland, sipping a brew.
You could have been an artist, showing all you drew.
Joshua, oh Joshua. Your world was full of tears, sadness from fears.
Your soul was lost, your life the cost.
We couldn't reach you, the world couldn't teach you
to be more tame, there's no one to blame.
Now you're a guardian angel! Look after those you love.
Make sure that some day, we'll be with you always.
Joshua, oh Joshua. You're our angel painting dreams.
