Soundtrack

Triple Tongue is the band that Drew plays bass in. They play shows at the Motorhouse, which is an old garage at the back of the Junkyard. Lots of other bands play too, mostly composed of some combination of the same 7 or 8 kids. Drew only plays in TT. Here is a setlist, with lyrics, of one of their shows. Henry writes all the songs. At this show, Henry surprises Drew with a song about him which renders Drew beet red.

MAIL ORDER MOTOR OIL
mail order motor oil
mail order motor oil
made my cardboard boxes spoil

they get greasy
It's not easy
but I don't mind
they're paper lined

mail order motor oil
mail order motor oil
mail order motor oil
mail order motor oil

RAVINE
the ravine
is our scene
dirt and twigs
beer and cigs

we ride our bikes
we go on hikes

the ravine
is our scene
down below
we like to go

the ravine
is our scene

CHICKADEES N CHEESE

chickadees n cheese
chickadees n cheese
chickadees n cheese

PENNAPENAND
Pennnapenand
across the land
we made pencils
to hold in your hand

Pennnapenand

PP and P
old factory
now it's gone
from Sparkleton

Pennnapenand
Pennnapenand
Pennnapenand

all the pens
all the pencils
now you'll have to use a stencil

FLYING SAUCER
flying saucer
came to town
long ago
now it's down

now it's rock
with some trees
we like to walk
with Roy and Knees

we hang out there
with smokes and beer
enjoy the night
it's only right

all the kids
all the folks
enjoy the beer
enjoy the smokes

who were they
you might say
they came from space
to this place

we don't mind
they arrived
and they were kind

flying saucer
came to town
long ago
now it's down

NUDER PARK
Nuder Park
after dark
fireflies
across our eyes
wet grass
below my ass
friends around
not a sound
quiet night
it's allright

NEW SUPERMARKET
new supermarket
new supermarket
new supermarket

got a car?
have to park it
why did they
do it this way?

lots of things
you'd never think
they even have
the kitchen sink

we have enough
right here in town
why'd they have to bring us down?

It's kind of scary
I'm kind of wary
I work there though
so I don't care-y

cake and dairy!

they'll never come
to Sparkleton.
close to Beam
is not our scene

new supermarket
new supermarket
new supermarket

MY FRIEND DREW
my friend Drew
this one’s for you
shy as a mouse
never shot a grouse

my best friend
'till the end
now let's hush
and watch him blush

Drew M Fank
your heart has sank
this is a prank
Drew M Fank

you didn't know
how this would go
you thought we were along
on another song

but I wrote this for you
cause I like to tease
don't be blue
forgive me please

MAKE THE CIRCLE
make the circle
round the room
you know how
make it soon

make the circle
all join hands
skip around
to the bands

make the circle
it's so fun
we like it here
in Sparkleton

make the circle
skip around
make the circle
here in town

You can probably guess they're all under a minute long. "Knees" is Knees Geeler, who lost his legs and now uses prosthetics. The accident was at Pennsylvania Pen and Pencil, abbreviated by locals to PP&P or Pennapenand. Eventually, I'll incorporate sound into the project by recording all the Triple Tongue songs myself and somehow making them present in Drew's room.
