lyrics

when the lion's mane washed ashore
and the swimmers' skin grew red and shore
an important lesson by all was learned
that by death she is not deterred

by death she is not deterred
for beneath her flesh the poison stirs
and it made a mess of rye new hampshire
by death she is not deterred

strangely beautiful
her mane of tentacles
but leave them as they were
for by death she is not deterred

and the simmers there who had all been burned
they gathered around to look at her
and by now you know the words
by death she was not deterred

strangely beautiful
her mane of tentacles
but leave them as they were
for by death she is not deterred

That's That And The What's What
by That's That And The What's What

Friends and sometimes TWT collaborators set out to make a "classic rock" album but got lost along the way. Favorite Track: Aviator Shades. The Wiggly Tendrils

No. 1 - (Limited Edition Single)
by A Severe Joy

Ok, you have to buy their Limited Edition Single - Mono Plexi-discs. It's a series, so if it's sold out then check back. The music is amazing, and the packaging is top notch. I highly recommend it. The Wiggly Tendrils

Capitol Limited EP
by Deirdre and Conor / Kitchen Table, Illinois

Becky and Gabe back up their dear friends Conor and Deirdre Loughridge on three of their wonderful love songs; they return the favor on three of our weepy songs. We used a toy drum set! The Wiggly Tendrils
