"Snacktime" live performance at Chapters in Langley BC on March 8 2008. I only had one 1mb card with me that day, so I had to reduce the resolution to squeeze the whole performance in. 1st song in the set.

Raisins
--------

Raisins come from Grapes
People come from Apes
I come from Canada
I came in first place
In a non existent race
To rebuild the Parthenon

The Parthenon's in Greece
Or was it in Grease 2?
I can't keep my movies straight
When I make mistakes
I use a lot of salt
Cause salt makes m'steaks taste great

I don't want to be a bother
But I think the phone's for you

I've got orange pants
I wear them when I dance
But I don't get out that much
You are just too loud
I passed you in a crowd
Thank you and keep in touch

I don't speak Chinese
Not even words like "please"
"Thank you", or "how are you"
But I can parle Francais
I parled a bit today
It seemed like the thing to do

I don't want to be a bother
But I think you're in my seat
