[00:00.00]A Candymaker's Knife In My Handbag - The Fiery Furnaces
[00:28.38]A night out in the tropics
[00:30.87]Turned out I couldn't cope
[00:32.84]After the School of Fancy Cookery
[00:35.32]With Antoinette Pope
[00:37.22]I learned brazing and saucing meringue and sift
[00:40.14]Knead flute and flour
[00:42.62]Each Thursday for an hour
[00:48.49]Cobblers and plum cakes tarts savory and sweet
[00:50.98]A candymaker's knife in my handbag
[00:59.17]A candymaker's knife in my handbag
[01:03.93]Well I learned brazing and saucing meringue and sift
[01:07.00]Knead flute and flour
[01:09.56]Each Thursday for an hour
[01:14.96]Cobblers and plum cakes tarts savory and sweet
[01:17.66]A candymaker's knife in my handbag
[01:25.44]A candymaker's knife in my handbag
[01:28.13]That night I was to meet my husband's father
[01:30.10]For the very first time
[01:31.44]I wore the scarf he sent to me
[01:33.87]French silk scarlet blue and cream
[01:37.07]He sits he waits a coffee on his knee
[01:40.47]I wonder if it's as bad as it might seem
[02:03.12]Zapped by the Zombie
[02:05.72]Zapped zapped by the Zombie
[02:09.28]Zapped by the Zombie in the two-door Dodge
[02:13.57]Twice-baked brioche and pastry pockets
[02:18.25]And lock its two-door Dodge
[02:24.33]Zapped by the Zombie
[02:27.00]Zapped zapped by the Zombie
[02:30.27]Zapped by the Zombie in the two-door Dodge
[02:38.41]And I did not fail
[02:40.21]To bust off a nail
[02:41.79]As the Dodge door handle dodges my hand
[02:44.29]Delicate delicate hold my hand
[02:46.64]Delicate nectarine upside-down chiffon cake
[02:48.95]Dodge down the downtown loop the loop lightly
[02:51.62]Hazelnut baby loaves
[02:53.36]Hazelnut baby loaves
[02:55.41]Hold my hand inside-out upside-down marzipan Milanese
[02:59.22]My brain is a blur
[03:01.11]Hodge-podge - cardinal slice - two-door brand new
[03:03.72]What am I gonna do
[03:05.17]'Cause on the street the amber lights were hellish hot
[03:07.94]And the wind in the windows was not giving air
[03:10.07]And tropical Napeolons
[03:10.84]But it was too late and I didn't care
[03:13.24]And I didn't care
[03:14.72]Because first I went to meet Dr Christopolous and his wife Claudette
[03:17.37]Who at the time was my close girlfriend
[03:19.14]They picked my up in their brand-new Dodge
[03:20.42]And we went to Trader Vic's or Mr Rick's
[03:22.75]And I ordered like the others a Zombie
[03:24.50]And it bombed me it just bombed me
[03:26.74]And when we got to the stoop my father-in-law said"Were you attacked"
[03:29.34]My aunt being helpful
[03:30.46]Said something that made my heart just go sunk
[03:32.40]And with a look on her face like something had stunk
[03:34.52]"She's just drunk" she hissed
[03:36.11]I reached for the arm of the armchair and missed
[03:57.80]A night out in the tropics
[04:00.13]Turned out I couldn't cope
[04:02.34]After the School of Fancy Cookery
[04:04.70]With Antoinette Pope
[04:06.68]I wore the scarf he sent to me
[04:10.10]French silk scarlet blue and cream
[04:13.06]He sits he waits a coffee on his knee
