Nepoleon

Liner Notes

This began life as little idea labelled "glammo thing". Wasn't sure what to do with it, so hacked away at it bit by bit over the last couple of weeks and landed on ... whatever this is.

I don't know what the words mean. I was a few drinks in when I wrote them, then mixed them too loud. Ah well.

Lyrics

have you ever been so eagle-eyed that you could have been a bird? all the focus on masquerade and ignoring the absurd

will you ever have the courage to be the firstborn among nobodies? will you ever have the knowledge to be the lastborn with advantages?

have you ever thought about the lies that you told to be the boss? all the cunning of a manatee, or a fox on the sauce

will you ever have the courage to be the firstborn among nobodies?

put the nepotism back cut the lower-born some slack put the nepotism back on the shelf where it goes

bring the executions back cut napoleon some slack put the nepotism back on the shelf where it goes

have you ever been so patronised?

Love that synth following the vocal melody in the chorus. That marching drum pattern in the intro really works great. ‘All the cunning of a manatee, or a fox on the sauce’ 😂
