Minor Home Surgery

from Bears Will Eat Their Young by Whatthe Animalssay

about

Whilst living in Melbourne my then-girlfriend was invited to attend the wedding of an old school friend who lived in Taiwan. She was also the daughter of one of the most powerful men on the Island; I was invited as the plus one. During the week we were there I wrote this song, which is about an inevitable breakup (not the bride and groom), as well as attending the most extravagant wedding I have ever been to. There was shark fin soup, Kobe beef, chicken assholes, belly dancing, Taiwanese politicians, nearly two thousand attendees and of course the ceremony.

lyrics

Creature words ceased to be as soon as we arrived and we might not survive, it's just a feeling.
Sex, of course, is still what it was but I fear her mind might be wandering off, it's just a feeling.
Some minor home surgery through cerebral commune, I'm healing, it's just a feeling.
And I am lost and I was sold of something called a good idea. I'm restless like a bird on a leash, my time is being policed, I'm hungry at the feast, it's just feeling.
Dear, dear, dear what do you wish for yourself you'll miss me once I've left, it's just a feeling.
And when I'm gone I'll continue on to where the water applauded and the mountains implore, it's just a feeling.
The tribe I hide is a prideful one they keep what they don't want, still throw spears at the sun, it's just a feeling.
And I am lost and I was sold of something called a good idea.
Flowers that make me sneeze I'll crush with heavy feet, loves nothing at all it's just a feeling.
