lyrics

Ignorance is the parent of fear.
And being completely confounded & nonplussed by the stranger,
I now confess I was as much afraid of him as if it were the devil himself, broken into my room in the dead of night.
And as I Iive, his entire body was covered with these same dark squares, same as his face, his back too,
These same dark squares.
He seemed to have been in a thirty year war, and just escaped from it with a sticking, plaster shirt.
Still more, his very legs, the same marks.
It was as if a parcel of dark green frogs were running up the trunks of great palms.
It was now quite plain that he must be some abominable savage or shipped aboard,
shipped aboard whale man from the South seas
and so landed in this Christian country
I quaked to think of it, a peddler of heads too.
Perhaps the heads of his own brothers, maybe he'll take a fancy to mine
Heavens look at that tomahawk.
And taking up the tomahawk from the table,
He examined the head of it.
And then holding it up to the light with his mouth at the handle,
He blew out a great cloud of tobacco smoke.
And then the light was extinguished and this wild cannibal sprang into bed with me.
I sang out Angels Save Me
I sang out Angels Save Me
I sang out Angels Save Me
I sang out Angels Save Me
Don't be afraid, Queequeg here wouldn't harm a hair on your head.

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
