• Tallahassee Tart

  My “Tallahassee Tart” lyric was inspired by my friend Caroline’s Halloween costume. A 60s inspired song, with electric guitars, piano, and harmonies.

  

  Tallahassee Tart

  Come on sisters

  Light the fuse

  Hit the streets

  It’s time to cruise

  Yeh girl

  In my kickass boots

  Gonna stand my ground

  I’m a Tallahassee tart

  And this is my side of town

  Mop em up

  Zip em up

  Say bye bye

  Rama lama ding dong

  Ready for the next one

  Don’t waste my time

  Mr Five and Dime

  You need big bucks for my kinda looks

  So drive on by in your beat up truck

  Honey, tough luck…

  …I’m waitin’ on Mr Country Club

  Mop em up

  Zip em up

  Say bye bye

  Rama lama ding dong

  Ready for the next one

  Gonna go hard

  Gonna go fast

  Gonna go full throttle

  With his champagne bottle

  Nothin’ gonna stop me

  I’m a Tallahassee tart

  I can finish them off

  Before they even start

  And I charge em what I want

  Cos honey, it’s an art

  Mop em up

  Zip em up

  Say bye bye

  Rama lama ding dong

  Ready for the next one

  Mop em up

  Zip em up

  Say bye bye

  Rama lama ding dong

  Ready for the next one

  I’m a Tallahassee tart standing my ground

  In my kickass boots this is my side of town

  Yeh,

  This is my side of town

• The Devil’s Navel

  I’ve always been obsessed with the sounds of Middle Eastern music so I decided to write a gay, erotic dance track, “The Devil’s Navel.” I imagine this music being played in a secret gay bar, hidden in the Medina in Marrakech, Morocco. This lyric was written for an imaginary band called “Sword Swallower” and it is the first track to be released from their upcoming EP “Slutty Mirage.” I shaved my chest for the album cover – Oh, no you didn’t – Oh, yes I did.

  

  The Devil’s Navel

  I’m dancing in the devils navel

  Hot desert men at every table

  Plant your lips upon my head

  Habibi take me to your bed

  Habibi take me to your bed

  I’m dancing in the devils navel

  Hot desert men at every table

  Move like a cobra poised to spit

  Habibi give me more of it

  Habibi give me more of it

  I’m dancing in the devils navel

  Hot desert men at every table

  Draw your sword and let me swallow

  Habibi I’m a tough act to follow

  Habibi I’m a tough act to follow

  I’m dancing in the devils navel

  Hot desert men at every table

  Spread my pomegranate cheeks

  And slay me like the Ancient Greeks

  And slay me like the Ancient Greeks

  I’m dancing in the devils navel

  Hot desert men at every table

  I’m dancing in the devils navel

  Hot desert men at every table

  Habibi give me more of it

  Like the cobra poised to spit

  Habibi, let me have a taste of it

• Life’s a Beach

  Posted at 11:13 pm by maisieandpip

  Nov 1st

  I wrote the lyrics for “Life’s a Beach” for a friend who is/was going through a tough time. The tender lyrics offer hope. I think they were written for myself too, as I feel lonely at times since Michael died. I think the words speak of the importance of connection. Humans are wired for connection and it’s OK to reach out. The words sounded like an early 70’s folk song – so Parker Redwood was imagined. I think he would have lived in the Pacific Northwest, and probably drove a Volkswagen van. I had fun making a 70s inspired album cover with my poncho. And the song definitely called for panpipes.

  

  Life’s a Beach

  When you feel like a lonely grain of sand washed out to sea
  Remember life’s a beach
  Where grains of sand find connection
  I’m here, still within your reach

  When you feel like a lonely grain of sand washed out to sea
  Remember life’s a beach
  I’ve laid a picnic out for you
  It’s all here, still within your reach

  When you feel like a lonely grain of sand washed out to sea
  Remember life’s a beach
  Follow the tide, and ride the wave back
  Love, is still within your reach

  I see you, lonely grain of sand washed out to sea
  Before you disappear, read the postcard sent from me

  Babe, I wish you were here

  Wish you were here
  Wish you were here
  With me

• Pistol On My Nightstand

  Posted at 10:58 pm by maisieandpip

  Nov 1st

  Back in the 1990s I was misbehavin’ at work with my friend Caroline and I invented a country singer persona for her and named her Ginger Cricket. I imagined her breakout song would be called ‘Pistol On My Nightstand.” Ginger Cricket doesn’t suffer fools lightly, especially when it comes to her men.

  

  Pistol On My Nightstand

  Gotta a pistol on my nightstand

  Honey you’re a dead man

  Don’t gimme your shit

  Cos you’re so full of it

  Darlin’ your tank got no gas

  You ain’t gonna fill my dreams

  With your sorry ass

  So pack your bags sunshine

  Cos a storm’s headin’ your way

  Go ahead sugar

  And make my day

  Gotta pistol on my nightstand

  Honey you’re a dead man

  You messed with the wrong chick

  You two-timing limp dick

  Cos I’m Ginger Cricket

  And don’t you forget it

  Gotta pistol on my nightstand

  Honey you’re a dead man

  Cos I’m Ginger Cricket

  And don’t you forget it
