Brunhilde: At last, my hero! (sings)
You have saved me from these foul flames of fate.
Siegfried: Didn’t realise that I could be a hero.
Brunhilde: Will you hold me? I think it’s close to zero.
Siegfried: I’ll protect you, and possibly control you.

Brunhilde: Siggie,
Siegfried: Yes?
Brunhilde: What has happened to our flat?
Siegfried: I sold it.
Brunhilde: And our bed, and all our things?
Siegfried: You get more for furnished flats.
Brunhilde: What does this mean?
Siegfried: I have bought a piano.
Brunhilde: At least you kept this framed photo of us.
Siegfried: I couldn't get anything for it.
Brunhilde: But the flat wasn't yours to sell!
Siegfried: Oh yes that's right! We were renting! ... I think we'd... I think we'd better split...
Brunhilde: The express train to Frankfurt leaves at about 5.43...
Siegfried: I think there's enough left for a ticket...
Brunhilde: Will there be enough for me?
Brunhilde and Siegfried: Will there be enough for two?
Siegfried: I think there's enough for you.

Dead Mice – LIVE
02:02
|
|||
Brunhilde: (sings, types in rhythm)
I hate being the woman waiting for the husband
to come home from the pub
I stereotype her implicitly as I type her
The stereo silent in the background
but in fact I am her waiting in silence
boring of boredom, tiring of tiredness
others like me are out there now
who have come home and found no man
Disappointment, the undecided phrase
disappointment, the head turned to the side
disappointment, turned half-heartedly to hide.
A possibility of tears in the afternoon
the days becoming shorter again,
after a blissful period of length.
Therefore I sit before my typewriter
I've left my creations on the desk for him, like dead mice
He may show no more interest than if they were.
(speaks) I'm not leaving this on the desk for him to scorn. I’m taking it to the streets!

Frigg: Uninvited Guests
and unrequited.
Pain shall strike womb and thighs,
payment for your white lies
I'll crank up fertility
and pour you cups of maternity- worship me!
Worship me, worship me!

Woden: Siegfried, somewhere you must have an urge to destroy, if only to defend your music from those accordionists.
Siegfried: (sings) This song is called, ‘Not for accordions’.
Woden (in disguise as Fred) Good one.
Siegfried: Not for accordions. Not one, not two, not three, not four accordions. (Speaks) There are accordionists out there. I can hear them on the hillside. One by one the bellows start, winds billow with increasing force. The pale accordion of Death, the red accordion of War, the black accordion of Pestilence and the white accordion of Conquest. They swoop, attacking me with my own music, they bring on the Apocalypse! I must stop them before it's too late!

Brunhilde: I was a Valkyrie, choosing the slain from the battlefields. My Valkyries, come to me, help me divorce this man from my mind and show all men their folly! (Sings) My companions, my Valkyries, time for revenge, revenge upon men!

Coffee Petition

|

Candida: Well now I really used to be a terrific midwife,
but no-one's giving birth, what do I do with my life?
I met this chick named Vita, she said ‘Give this a squeeze’
and with a bit of coaching I can play it with ease!
now sign the coffee petition-
You can lose your inhibitions
Send your sperm on a mission
before you make an appointment with your obstetrician,
Sign the coffee petition!
How will you cope with those late night feeds?
What other drink can satisfy your needs?
Sign the coffee petition. Sign it!

Frigg Wednesday Aria

|

Frigg: And that’s why Wednesdays were when I always worshipped him.
I made him mountains, oceans, fjords and heather.
And then on Fridays he said, now let me worship you,
I’ll light the sun, I’ll bathe you in fair weather.
Master and mistress of all the world, the land, the sea...
