 == Lyrics ==
 NOTE: I had not completely finished the lyrics to this song when I recorded this demo, and I'm not 100% thrilled with them now, but this is as far as I am to date.  They don't quite match the recording (at end of the last refrain, most noticably), but imagine these words instead:
   the heavy pets are animals

		+	NOTE: I had not completely finished the lyrics to this song when I recorded this demo, and I'm not 100% thrilled with them now, but this is as far as I am to date. They don't quite match the recording (at end of the last refrain, most noticably), but imagine these words instead:
		+
		+	the heavy pets are animals
		+	the heavy pets are cannibals
		+	the heavy pets are hungry
		+	they're punctilious gourmets
		+	the heavy pets are on the march
		+	the heavy pets are still at large
		+	the heavy pets are gorgeous
		+	ample bust and trunk and fuselage
		+
		+	hide the women and children
		+	the women and children
		+
		+	fall in
		+	you've got the uniform
		+	birthday issue pressed and shorn
		+	somewhere between a stampede and parade
		+	they line you up and call you to attention
		+	and subject you to inspection
		+	and spit shine your unmentionables
		+
		+	the heavy pets are salivating
		+	bad at waiting the heavy pets
		+	haven't time for prissy pricks
		+	or your regrets you make them sick
		+	the heavy pets weren't asking you
		+	the heavy pets are coming through
		+	the heavy pets are bringing you along
		+	so just try to relax
		+
		+	they say it isn't so bad
		+	once you get used to it
		+
		+	rank upon rank swank and swarthy
		+	the party is starting
		+	the armies are champing at the bit
		+
		+	you're a bag of meat
		+
		+	the heavy pets aren't listening
		+	they're glistening and you can bet
		+	the heavy pets are wet with everybody else's blood
		+	the heavy pets are burning fur
		+	the heavy pets are purring slurs
		+	the heavy pets have teeth like pins and nails and knives and riding spurs
		+
		+	hide the women and children
		+
		+	the battlefield is strewn with red confetti
		+	the heavy pets make ready
		+	to stake their claim and hoist their leather flag
		+
		+	== Music ==
		+	===Chords===
		+	This song is in E minor.
		+	===Structure===
		+	AA BB C BB C D AA BB' C
		+
		+	A = riff
		+	B = verse
		+	C = chorus
		+	D = bridge
		+
		+	== Author's Notes ==
		+	This song was written as a sort of theme for my next wave of glam material meant to succeed the original P1xel set. It's about the writer's libido as I suppose most boys' rock songs are. I was listening to a lot of Marilyn Manson at the time, and the prechorus is a pretty straight lift from the prechorus in his 1999 single Rock Is Dead.
		+
		+	This would obviously benefit from a cleaner "studio" sound, with beats and electronics and what-not. Also, it needs a freakin' guitar solo after the bridge, which I never attempted on this demo.
		+
		+	I'd also like to point out that I used the awesome word "fuselage" in this song years before Mr. Vlasses used it in Cola Wars' excellent "Three To Waltz".
