Auntie Toothache - Stephin Merritt[00:00:00]
Isn't it strange said the inkwell[00:00:01]
All that comes out of me [00:00:06]
The famous lines the valentines And sometimes [00:00:10]
Just think without an inkwell where[00:00:19]
Would the poet be [00:00:25]
I'll make you change your mind [00:00:27]
Said the pen plucked from the tail[00:00:30]
Of a bird[00:00:34]
Those famous lines those valentines[00:00:37]
I wrote them every word[00:00:41]
Without a pen never again would[00:00:46]
Poetry be heard [00:00:51]
Forget the inkwell and the pen[00:01:10]
When auntie toothache comes again[00:01:12]
The poet saddest of all men[00:01:14]
Can sing no more[00:01:15]
When auntie toothache starts her torture[00:01:18]
With her pliers and her lance and her fires[00:01:20]
She desires him to dance[00:01:22]
And so they dance dance dance dance[00:01:25]
Dance dance dance[00:01:28]
And auntie toothache wields her tongs[00:01:35]
And makes her poet sing her songs[00:01:37]
In screams and whimpers till he longs[00:01:39]
To die right now[00:01:41]
Then auntie toothache makes him vow[00:01:43]
(with one more cup of fire ants)[00:01:44]
That he'll give up poetry and take up dance[00:01:47]
And so they dance dance dance dance[00:01:50]
Dance dance dance[00:01:53]
He never writes another line[00:02:00]
His life becomes a valentine[00:02:02]
To auntie toothache and her fine[00:02:03]
Degress of pain[00:02:05]
From lack of sleep he goes insane[00:02:08]
And fancies he's the king of france[00:02:09]
Beset by bees[00:02:11]
Auntie toothache whispers dance [00:02:12]
And so they dance dance dance dance[00:02:15]
Dance dance dance[00:02:17]
And they dance dance dance dance[00:02:19]
Dance dance dance[00:02:21]
