lyrics

BAMBI IS FREE

Nobody likes me. Nobody likes me. Nobody likes me.

Let the whales beach themselves 
Stand on your own two feet
 And get o of my back
You’re not the one under attack

When St. George of Arc slew the dragon
They jumped on the band wagon
 Some rode on the corpse it was dragging

The princess gets her wishes
A stage on Kleenex kisses
But the tomato misses

Be here Forever. Be here Forever. Be here Forever.

If you talk slow, then I’ve made up my mind
 It means you’re too dumb to remember your lines
And you don’t get no second time

Bambi is Free 
You can’t blame that on me 
You’ll have to fight it out with Walt Disney

I think I shall overdose on this grassy knoll 
I think I shall overdose
 I think I shall overdose every time that we’re close
You can tell me that I got no hope
 In a world that’s got enough rope 
To cinch me tight around the throat

Bambi is Free 
You can’t blame that on me 
You’ll have to fight it out with Walt Disney

Matthew was a unique visionary—as sensitive, uncompromising, funny, and fearless in his art as he was in his life. Of his music, Matthew wrote: “Here lay psychological metal, verbose pop, queasy balladry, and odd trips.” ... more

Sloan breaks absolutely NO new ground on their newest record. And I couldn't care less. Because when the songs are this good, nothing else matters. This kicks ass. Todd Leiter-Weintraub
