There are no gnomes in Sweden
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them
There are no gnomes in Sweden
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them
No little hats, no jolly beards, or rotted teeth
and not one child has ever been reported being eaten
Not one child
Just like there are no Fins there in Finland
Now while at first that may sound grand,
it's just because they've all been eaten by the hungry gnomes who aren't
aren't in Sweden
There are no gnomes in Sweden
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them
(They've never seen them)
There are no gnomes in Sweden
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them
(They've never seen them)
Now Viking is as Viking does and Vikings can't be beaten
And as that is, it's most unwise to try to eat Norwegians
But hungry gnomes they come and go, a belly-full they're feeding
Pockets lined with Swedish gold, they nash their broken teeth and scold
They lick their bloody lips and cry "we'll eat you up until you die"
There are no gnomes in Sweden
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them
(They've never seen them)
There are no gnomes in Sweden
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them
(They've never seen them)
No little hats... no jolly beards...
So if you're Swedish, rest assured, your bureaucrats have bought them all
And logic tells us now that you certainly can't be Finnish
So 'fore I finnish this tale of woe,
if you're a Viking, maybe you'll take a liking to us
and leave us alone now
for we are the people laying low
the not so tasty Danish
if the truth be told.
(the not so tasty Danish, the not so tasty Danish
if the truth be told)
There are no gnomes in Sweden
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them
There are no gnomes in Sweden
No reports that anybody down there has ever seen them
No little hats... no jolly beards...

DRACULA SPECTACULAR
I am not your Dracula spectacular
This is not your weekend in Vegas
This is not your selfie obscura
I am not your tour guide of Paris
No vampires remain in Romania
No vampires remain in Romania
Don’t walk alone in Transylvania
No vampires remain in Romania
This is not West Hollywood on Thursday
I am not your objet d’art
I am not your sepia heyday
This is not the moment we part
No vampires remain in Romania
No vampires remain in Romania
Don’t donate blood in Transylvania
No vampires remain in Romania
I am not your pop starlet saviour
This is not your reference du jour
This is not your sanctioned behaviour
I am not the disease or the cure
No vampires remain in Romania
No vampires remain in Romania
Don't sing this song in Transylvania
No vampires remain in Romania

I am the blackbird in the night
I am the sun bear in the day
I am the monkey in the jungle
I am the fish in the fillet
I am a tiger trapped inside a small balloon
that is floating in the stomach of a large angry baboon
I am animal
I said I am an animal
I am the tame domestic cat
I am the raged infected rat
I am the mimicking macaw
I am wild attacking boar
I am a puppy eating up a giant moth that flew all the way from Costa Rica to escape the clutches of a giant sloth
I am animal
I said I am an animal

The game is on
The world is a stage
Heroes created
Beast mode engage
Panthéon
The idols arise
The world is a tomb
Rome is burning
An entropic boom
Panthéon
Why is the sky so endless?
Why are our towers so small?
Build on the shoulders of giants
One game to rule them all
Panthéon
and on and on

Woolly Mammoth
There is nothing quite so large
As the Argentinosaurus
But with all it's best laid plans
It will surely bow down, before us
And there is nowhere in the land
Anything quite so ferocious
As the regal and so grand King of fear,
tyrannosaurus
But he too will disappear
When our future becomes clear
Winter is upon us
Winter is upon us
Hammerheaded herbivores
Atopodentatus was
But no more the seas shall they
Swim in, eat and grow and play
Mega-raptorids abound
Like the Australovenator
But the time has come to say
Farewell matey, see you later
All of you will disappear
When our future becomes clear
Winter is upon us
Winter is upon us
Out in the Gulf of Mexico
There lies the secrets we don't know
The coming of the asteroid
And what will come to fill the void
Winter is upon us
Winter is upon us

Personal Guard Llama
There will be a night, there will be a night without crying
There will be a day, there will be a day without fear
One for the many, many with the one, the one with the many is the one who is strong
There will be a time, there will be a time and it's near
So don't panic
There will be a song, there will be a song without lyrics
There will be a name, there will be a name that you hear
Song is the meaning, meaning of the song, the name that we sing is the one who will come
There will be a way, there will be a way and it's near
So don't panic
There will be a friend, there will be a friend to defend you
There be a fight, there will be a fight that you win
Lamb with the llama, llama for the lamb, the lamb who is guarded is the one who will stand
There will be a life, there will be a life and it's here
So don't panic

If you kick a duck right in the head, make sure it’s in a row
If you sing a song of fifty cents, make sure you pay the toll
If you see my heron buddy out there, tell them what you know
For the worm has turned an early bird, get down and ducking go
If you see a bill of blackest knight, get buggin’ for the floor
If your trains are spotting up a fight, head for the highest knoll
If the weeping willows worry you, just show yourself the door
For the people are revolting and the kingdom’s shooting poor

This is what we want
This is what you need
This is who you are
This is where you’ll feed
Make sure you dance in time
As you recite your lines
And you can drive this car
We know that you’ll go far
Hey
You are
A star
We’ve been searching for your kind
You remind us of someone else
Hey
You are
A star
And you you shine just like the sun
In all it’s brilliance
What’s that? You have some thoughts of your own?
You’d like to spread some hope?
You thought you really mattered to us?
And you thought?
Hey you aren’t our style
So we don’t you to play
In our game
anymore
ha ha ha ha
Hey you aren’t a star
And we don’t want you to say
Or speak
Or be here
ha ha ha ha
I will not disappear
I’ll sing forever
I will not disappear
I’ll sing forever
I will not disappear
I’ll sing forever

Vapours
All of these obsessions
Politics, possessions
Stumbleina unaware
Blunderina, dancing air
All of these illusions
Policy, intrusions
Godzilla of Yokocho
Kaiju of the Overflow
See through
See through me and you
See through
All that we do
All of these impressions
Property, elections
Yoda is as Yoda does
Drunken Master, soba loves
All of these explosions
Poverty, erosion
Barbie of the Underpass
Hobo of the Upperclass
See through
See through me and you
See through
All that we do
All of these perceptions
Probably inception
Valkyries and langoliers
Devouring forgotten tears
All of these contortions
Prophecy, distortions
Internet of broken things
Wave invisibly and sing:
See through
See through me and you
See through
All that we do
