Goldeneye



I wrote this song about Goldeneye, the revolutionary video game for the N64, for my old band Plague of Yeti. It's called "Box of Goggles."

SHow me the scenery!
Find out if I stand a chance
Wrong guy but oh well!
One more victime of circumstance
I've got my PP7!

Point it at the bad guy's hat,
But before I shoot it off,
Some asshole shoots me in the back and I die!

Bond is a bad ass...
So is Natalia...
I will protect her...
Kill if I have to...
Destroy all the bad guys...
THen straighten my bow tie...

I am 007!
I am 007!

Crouch and aim respectively
Hope that nobody can hear me
One more life that i have taken!
Make sure my martini's shaken!

Down on the floor
This mission isn't over yet
Hit bad but oh well
There's armor on the parapet
My silenced PP7
Can't silence cries of agony
I don't care I enjoy it!
Noone is a threat to me!

The Yeti Rap


"Are you ready?"
Said the Yeti to the Sasquatch
"Watch what I do
And listen to what I tell you.
Centuries ago in the woods of Oklahoma
All the planets were aligned
And all the seas began to foam.
About a quarter past midnight there came from the ground
With a sound
Like Bees flying 'round
A beam of light illuminating identical stones,
Three was their number
And under the sky that day
Was conception of a plan, by these three
Our Messiahs
And with faith we would come to partake in their trials...
The rocks split apart
Three Yeti then arose
They were gaunt,
and stout,
From the toes to the nose
'We arise!' came the cry
When the rocks split apart
At last they have come, to the soaring of my heart!
I don't think I had control over the next thing that I did
But I walked out from the safety of the shadows where I hid
And what I saw
Just dropped my jaw to the ground,
Millions and Millions of Yeti all around!
Then I began the glow
and to grow
and to go to the light
With all the Yeti in sight
I began to merge
and to purge all my individuality,
Now one with the ones who became my new reality
Our knees
Touching the tips of the trees
We leapt to the seas
Now the earth is tremulous
Our efforts nearing strenuous
And their grip on life was tenuous
In the face of a great tsunami
From Japan
To Miami."
