lyrics

I have a brother
My brothers name is Bill
And once upon a time inside my mother
Me and my brother shared a single tiny cell

I’m William’s better half, but it’s easy to tell
The weaker of us two; I bend at his will

“I want your ice cream"
"i never wanna share my toy”
A sparkle in our fathers eye
Split into matching little boys
down to our freckles, our bodies
Our chemicals
Our blood
Our spit

Genetics identical
Embryo split

his patsy, his beta,
subordinate

“I want more ice cream"
"I’ll make your life a living hell”
and if I disregard my brother: I lose a game of William Tell

Oh whats the use?
in the end he always has his way

to exercise futility is trying to defy
I’m still only half a sparkle in my fathers eye

Oh William,
oh will, oh bill, oh Mac, oh buddy
I wonder why you didn’t swallow me up in the first trimester?
Absorb me in the womb
Make quick work of me like you do now

But then it occurs to me
A dog is not a man’s best friend, a twin brother is
i’m more obedient any way because you trained me so well

when you say sit, I sit
when you say stay,I stay
And when you ask me to retrieve and then return?
I bring it back with me, whatever it might be
I bring it back

I had been rinsing this for a week on the evil interweb, so I decided to do the right thing and purchase a physical copy. You should do the same. The cover reminds me of childhood trips to Newgrange which is nice too. irish.goodbye
