Based on a true story about a party that went horribly wrong, the original was written and recorded in Summer 2010. Nothing in this version is different aside from the solo, it even retains it's original tuning of Drop D rather than dropping down further.
lyrics
A night to celebrate something but I forget what it is
Whatever man, bring out the ale and the crisps
We play with music and we joke with lives
Occasionally I entwine your fingers with mine
You take a kiss, I return a smile
Friends are warming to us again
Everybody's feeling good, so it seems
The emotions are a proverbial feast
Everybody's feeling good, so it seems
The emotions are a proverbial feast
You take a kiss, I return a smile
The emotions are a proverbial feast
Then in comes the raptor
Slathered with shit and making no sense
A ring of fire around the lion's neck
Too many knives, too many knives
Knock on wood he won't knock on us
Knock him back straight on his ass
We band together to discuss the beast
As the uncertainty of this begins to increase
We lay in wait and let him say his peace
The emotions are a proverbial feast
Claws at the neck, words of violent spat
Watch who you're talking to, you silly twat
Tempers high and promises of blood
Back on the street, you fucking mug
Hours pass and no progress has been made
The worry drives some of us insane
We try to tame him with calm-ish words
Tired and impatient, he's had his turn
Slathered with shit and making no sense
"Maybe you should just leave"
Your courage makes me love you
His lunge makes me want to protect you
Get your hands off my girl.
An army of compatriots biding their time
With varying sympathy
We band together to stop the beast
The emotions are a proverbial feast
Knock on wood he won't knock on us
Knock him back straight on his ass
Oh, what a night we had.
