about

Written about a period where I endured a number of romantic dalliances that seemed ultimately ephemeral. Walking through a park on the first nice day after a particularly harsh winter, I saw a bumble bee nestled into the heart of a dandelion, and dreamed of a relationship of equivalent purity.

lyrics

It’s synaesthesia when she glows
She’s a Tax Murderer!
She’s spouting poison prose
And everybody knows
She’s coming over in a rubber dress
With her hair piled up in a mess
Baby bumble-beetle battle
But you know you’d better love
Yr dandelion!

She fits me like a glove
She’s a Ghost Conqueror
I think it could be love
That turns the motherfucking wheels of magic
But everybody’s gonna need someone
Who’ll give them shelter from the sun
Baby bumble-beetle battle
But you know you’d better love
Yr dandelion!

Program a new flight plan baby, alright?
Get yr wings buzzing in the wind
We’re going up to the garden
And make nectar all night!
Shit!

She’s Venus in reverse
What a Gene Splicer
I think it could be worse
I think it could be nicer
But everybody’s gonna need someone
Who’ll give them shelter from the sun
Baby bumble-beetle battle
But you know you’d better love
Yr dandelion!

The Great Speckled Fritillary Vancouver, British Columbia

The lovely butterfly-dragons of Sona-Nyl are insectoid creatures with beautifully-patterned wings, insect-like legs and long, curved necks and tails. These creatures feed solely on nectar, fragrant odours and silence. If threatened, a butterfly-dragon responds by emitting a rose-coloured mist from glands along the sides of its body. Anyone inhaling or even touching this mist goes deaf. ... more
