about

During the earliest TPA recording session, with Alex, Brigid and myself, Alex quickly wrote a song on a paper plate and I called it Paper Plate Song.

Some years later when I was living with Brigid, she (I assume she did it. If it wasn't her, then it was Alex again but these reek of Brigid lyrics) wrote some lyrics on a paper plate and this song was born. This story may by wrong... who knows... who cares?

lyrics

Further now into the grass
Purged deep out of your mind
Descend ye now beyond the maps
Writhing deep within our blind

Shake your spear in flame
Set your shield in stone
Soak your helm in blame
Steel your heart in bone

Forever have we waited for our lives to come to this
In this moment we are wasted from our tribal, battle bliss
Do not forget the courage that you all have shown today
We shall never be greater than the soldiers that we play

So shall we fight until the end
We're the Gods of our own destiny
Shall we die beside our friend
Be part of the book that someday they will read
Be part of the book that someday they will read

When we are free
When we are free
When we are free
When we are free

Free to make our choices and our voices will be heard
Free to fly as high above the sky, above the birds
Free to make our choices and our voices will be heard
Free to fly as high above the sky, above the birds

When we are free
When we are free
When we are free
When we are free

about

The Pineapple Army Michigan

I've always been terrible at writing biographies so why stop now. We're probably a band from Michigan. We don't adhere to a specific genre which causes mild schizophrenia in certain individuals. We will write commercial jingles for the right price and we do NOT play at weddings, only funerals. ... more
