by Marc Gunn, March 13, 2009 There are no songs still left to sing There’s no music still left to score All the melodies have left the moon beams Ever since you left my door I heard that little quip that you made Caused me a little bit of pain and woe While fireworks sparked […]
Red, Red and Black (Lyrics)
“Red, Red and Black” lyrics and music by Marc Gunn, February 22, 2009 Performed by Marc Gunn From Happy Songs of Death Red, red and black Your Father’s lying on his back Dining with his friends in Paradise. Run, run, run, Or the Devil will take your son. Your brother’s family got it twice. Red, […]
Reflexology (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, around 1992 I was listening to a lot of “Weird Al” Yankovic when I wrote this song. You will note there is nothing about reflexology in the song. That’s because after writing the lyrics on a sheet of paper, I was watching TV and saw a feature on reflexology. It sounded interesting […]
When We French Under the Sun (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, April 11, 1997 One of my more silly songs. This one was born out of the idea of a man rejected through each of the body’s senses. When we French under the sun, You can bite off my tongue (x2) If you think I’ll forget the taste of you. But when you […]
The Ballad Of The Sea (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn and Andrew McKee, 2002 This is one of the first songs Andrew and I wrote together with the Brobdingnagian Bards. I don’t remember how the melody goes. We didn’t spend much time playing it. I walked alone in foggy dew Just me and my memories A voice out seaward beckons thru A […]
Pleasant Peasant Pheasant Plucking Song (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, June 16, 2003 A few days ago I got a reminder email. A woman had emailed me “a year and a day ago” about how she heard a fun song called “The Pheasant Plucking Song”. She thought it’d be cool for us to have a “Pleasant Peasant Pheasant Plucking Song”. Okay, I […]
O Susanna (Lyrics, Firefly parody: “O Susanna”)
by Marc Gunn, June 16, 2009 Firefly is still one of my all-time favorite TV shows ever. After writing “Monahan’s Mudder’s Milk”, I wondered what other songs might be heard in the Firefly verse? What traditional folk songs might’ve survived in the future and how might they’ve changed? That was the basis for this parody […]

Lounging in La La Land (Lyrics)
Lyrics and music by Marc Gunn, around 1997 Performed by Marc Gunn From CD: Ichabod’s Geography Cross the Rainbow Bridge The Valkyries await Your sapphire visage Don’t be late Resist the phage La la la, la la la, lounging in La La Land Lyse the lullaby As it lofts away Your sapphire syllabai Don’t be late Lounging […]
Marc Weeklies: Give “The Bridge” for Christmas
It’s here! It’s here! “The Bridge” has arrived! Every time I release a new CD I get excited. But something about this album is extra special. Maybe it’s the fact that I hand-painted the album cover myself… and love the look of it. Or maybe it has one of the most mature sounds I’ve ever […]
