lyrics

Amber:
There’s a land made out of liquorice and caramel they say
A sweet and sour gloomy realm another world away
Where gummi bats and swirly rats and wild, taffy clans
roam the gumdrop forests, down in Lollyland

In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Sweet sins upon command
In Lollyland, Lollyland
Temptations you cant understand

In Lollyland your mother’s queen and just a bit insane
Your name there is Prince Pear and she locked you far away

Queen:
I was brought up near the honey mines where i swore that i would taste
a taste thats like no other, that of power sweet and great
I learned forbidden magic made of gummi blood and bone
Whole villages i sacrificed til at last i took the throne
I had a son i vaguely loved, but the crown must stay with me
So i locked him in a tower and then threw away the key

Amber:
In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Sweet sins upon command
In Lollyland, Lollyland
Temptations you cant understand

You live atop that tower and you never leave its space
You spend your time making other worlds with your paint

But enter now the hero, a fair, courageous lass
who spied you in your tower one day when she did pass
You spoke of dreams and wonder, she would come to you each day
and sure enough you fell in love, conspired to escape

In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Sweet sins upon command
In Lollyland, Lollyland
Temptations you cant understand

You fled you ran across the land your true love and you
But the queen insane with hate and rage is after both you two
She was closing in, but this is when, by purely random chance,
Arcadia Corp opened a door, plucked you from Lollyland

Your land is grave peril, your narrative is doomed
I’m sad to say your mom, the queen, was supposed to murder you
quite horribly, but then you see, your true love would avenge
your gruesome death, cut mother’s neck and this is how it ends

Because you are not there right now, this fate cannot be spun
and your narrative will soon unfurl, your whole world will done
Your love thinks that the queen has put you back at tower’s eye
She heads there, we must put you back there before your love arrives

In Lollyland, In Lollyland
Sweet sins upon command
In Lollyland, Lollyland

about

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
