lyrics

©1999 Jeff Bohnhoff

Though I’ve tried before to tell her
Of my desire to make music in two parts
Every time that I come hear her
She sings all of Matty Grove
Right from the start

Every single song she sings is tragic
All she wants to do is ose that’s long
Even though I’d like to make some magic
Now I know her verse goes on and on.

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand bardic filks since we first met?
It’s a big enough filk circle
But it always me that has to follow songs of death.

Every single song she sings is tragic
All she wants to do is ose that’s long
Even though I’d like to make some magic
Now I know her verse goes on and on.

I resolve to cheer her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she’ll sing with me some happy songs by Hayes
But my fear of black lace grips me
And turns my heart to stone
And her leather thigh boots trip me
Must I always sing alone?

Every single song she sings is tragic
All she wants to do is ose that’s long
Even though I’d like to make some magic
Now I know her verse goes on and on.

Every little thing she does is tragic tragic tragic
Tragic tragic tragic.

E-ose, E-ose......

Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff San Jose, California

Jeff and Maya have an identity crisis. Their music is sometimes uproariously funny parody (like their spot-on "Bohemian Rhapsody" parody "Midichlorian Rhapsody", or hauntingly beautiful, like "Road to Jerusalem" or "Manhattan Sleeps". One way or another, their music will create strong emotions. Jeff and Maya have been creating music together since 1979, and plan to continue for some time to come. ... more
