about

Over two years in the making, Let Them Eat Red Velvet Cake delves deeper into the topics that The Little Black Bottles are known for exploring. The band started recording the album as a two-piece, then were joined by Jamie Thompson on bass. Jamie soon moved to drums and Joy Wood stepped into the bass role. In the fall of 2010, the band decided to scrap the existing tracks and retrack from scratch with the new lineup. Shortly after finishing tracking, Jamie and Joy left the band, leaving Myke and Jackie the only memebers once again. The songs on this release represent the band's 4-piece lineup from 2010 and was recorded, produced and mixed by the band in a cold basement in the wee hours of the night.

Track Name: The Bod Song
The man Jack
is coming to attack
the man Jack
Jack of All Trades

He comes for the father
he comes for the mother
he comes for the sister
he comes for the babe

Nobody
he will be harmed
his mothers heart
is filled with dread

The child
disappears
into the loving
arms of the dead

Nobody drifts between two worlds
Nobody can exist where life has been unfurled

The man Jack
is coming to attack
the man Jack
is coming for the kill

The child spends his days
at play among the graves
his home a cemetery
high upon a hill

Now you see him
now you don't
he fades into the night
it's just his way

All who walk the
realm of the living
shall meet the lady
in grey one day

Nobody drifts between two worlds
Nobody can exist where life has been unfurled
Track Name: Carrie White
Carrie White was misunderstood
Carrie White was strange
with red hair and piercing eyes
and a mother who was deranged

Her first bleed was so messed up
Sue and the gym class girls shouted
Plug it up! Plug it up!

Carrie cried beneath the weeping willows
teardrops falling on her dirty pillows
Sue she knew she did Carrie wrong
so she made Tommy Ross ask her to the prom

Her first bleed was so messed up
Sue and the gym class girls shouted
Plug it up! Plug it up!

Carrie fixed her hair
and put on a sexy dress
she was crowned the prom queen
but what a bloody mess

She got her revenge
with her school mates all in pieces
pick them off one by one
and destroy them with telekinesis

Mama was right, Mama knew
They're all gonna laugh at you
Mama was right, Mama knew
They're all gonna laugh at you
Track Name: Ghost Beneath the Sea
In the name of science
I'm fading away
my vengeance is merciless
and my enemies will rue the day

I'm king of the sea now
I've left society and mankind
some would say I'm a genius
others claim I've lost my mind

It's my world beneath the waves
it's my manifest destiny
I'm nobody I'm know where
I'm a ghost beneath the sea

I've severed ties with the world on land
I'm not what you'd call a civilized man
once you board this passage you may never leave
my liberty lies fathoms beneath
here is everything I need

It's my world beneath the waves
it's my manifest destiny
I'm nobody I'm know where
I'm a ghost beneath the sea

In the name of science
I'm fading away
my vengeance is merciless
and my enemies will rue the day

I'm king of the sea now
I've left society and mankind
some would say I'm a genius
others claim I've lost my mind

It's my world beneath the waves
it's my manifest destiny
I'm nobody I'm know where
I'm a ghost beneath the sea

In the name of science
I'm fading away
Track Name: Logan 5
Why run from carousel
when you can just renew
your destiny lies in the palm of your hand
what more could you want or do

Live for pleasure
in a utopian society
nobody ages past 30
in the 23rd century

There is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
Runner spotted

There is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
Runner terminated

Logan 5
you must run from carousel
Logan 5
you must find and destroy

There is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
Runner spotted

There is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
Runner terminated

If you're a malcontent
and you decide to run
the sandman will hunt you down
and vaporize you with his gun

And you'll fall to your death
over 100 feet
and when the cleanup crew has their way with you
you'll be a disappearing pile of meat

There is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
Runner spotted

There is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
Runner terminated

Do you identify this object Logan 5
Negative
That is the name of the object. It is called an ankh
Do you identify this word Logan 5
Negative
Sanctuary. That is the word

There is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
Runner spotted

There is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary
there is no sanctuary

Track Name: Letter to Miguel
My dear friend Miguel
I have heard you're not feeling so well
you're collapsing due to stress
and the doctor's think you should rest a spell

Well we all know Sarah's strong
and she has the fire to live
but when everything goes wrong
don't let her give you any sedatives

Logan's gone insane
he thinks he's found a way they can be tamed
he's given one a name
and he keeps it in his lab on the end of a chain

Well we all know there's no cure
and we gotta get out of this cave
and there's no way to fight it for sure
we gotta find an island that's safe

Seal the outside door
we all know what the future has in store
things are now absurd
we should all get in that whirlybird and soar

Well the world outside is cold
and the world outside is dead
and the world outside is hell
and the world outside won't rest

Day of the Dead
they hunger for what's inside your head
Day of the Dead
never should have gotten out of bed
Track Name: Pretty Horses Nightmare
Hush-a-bye don't you cry
go to sleepy little baby
when you wake you'll have red velvet cake
and all the pretty little horses

Darkness falls
it's time for night
demons swallow the sun
and all its light

Nightmares come
it’s all the same
lying in bed
engulfed in flames

Hush-a-bye don't you cry
go to sleepy little baby
when you wake you'll have red velvet cake
and all the pretty little horses

Dreams and nightmares
I cannot wake
through the heart
with a vampire stake

But when I wake
I'll have red velvet cake
and all the
pretty little horses

Hush-a-bye don't be scared
time to face all you have feared
the pretty horses are back to charge and attack
so go to sleepy little baby
go to sleepy little baby
Track Name: Stephen King Steals My Dreams
When I was a little girl
no older than four
a man in a mask
he jumped through my bedroom door

Kickin' and a bitin'
he threw me in a sack
he drove me far away
and I never came back

He said his name was Stephen
and from the window outside
at night he heard me screamin'
gave me chills made him want to hide

He wants to know what I've been dreaming
he wants to know what's inside

Stephen King steals my dreams
he keeps me locked in a dungeon on a brain machine
he gives me pills and he makes me sleep
and he watches my nightmares on a little TV

Stephen King steals my dreams
he keeps me locked in a dungeon on a brain machine
he gives me pills and he makes me sleep
and he watches my nightmares on a little TV

He said he was a writer
and he tied me to a bed
he pulled my wrist straps tighter
and taped wires to my head

He said it wouldn't hurt
he put a teddy by my face
he told me just to dream
and take him to another place

Stephen said he was sorry
but there was no other way
he craved the horrors of my dreams
and relived them page to page

He wants to know what I've been dreaming
he wants to know what's inside

Stephen King steals my dreams
he keeps me locked in a dungeon on a brain machine
he gives me pills and he makes me sleep
and he watches my nightmares on a little TV

Stephen King steals my dreams
he keeps me locked in a dungeon on a brain machine
he gives me pills and he makes me sleep
and he watches my nightmares on a little TV

I dreamt of a haunted hotel
I dreamt of pets from hell
I dreamt of a killer clown
and a bloody prom gown

I dreamt of a rabid dog
and a vampire town
men on death row
and a creepy show

Stephen King steals my dreams
he keeps me locked in a dungeon on a brain machine
he gives me pills and he makes me sleep
and he watches my nightmares on a little TV

Stephen King steals my dreams
he keeps me locked in a dungeon on a brain machine
he gives me pills and he makes me sleep
and he watches my nightmares on a little TV

He says he's never
never gonna set me free
he says he's never
never gonna let me be

He says I'm never
never gonna see the light
he'll always keep me
in the night

Stephen King steals my dreams
he keeps me locked in a dungeon on a brain machine
he gives me pills and he makes me sleep
and he watches my nightmares on a little TV

Stephen King steals my dreams
he keeps me locked in a dungeon on a brain machine
he gives me pills and he makes me sleep
and he watches my nightmares on a little TV
Track Name: Zombie Romance (LP version)
I don't want to sleep
I don't want to close my eyes
all I do is dream of you
and how it used to be

we were always side by side
until the fire in the sky
now you are lost to me a flesh eating zombie
in my dreams you chase me every night

What have I become
I kill them off one by one
trying to survive and just stay alive
but sometimes I can't remember why

There will come a day
when there will be too many of them and I can't get away
will we find our love under all the blood
when we walk beyond the grave

Will we have a chance
can we rekindle into a zombie's romance
this plague killed your brain but does it kill your heart
if I'm a zombie too we won't have to be apart

When I walk among the undead
will you recognize me through all this crimson red
will I remember your name, will you remember mine
we were so in love once upon a time

Even though you walk among the undead
my heart beats for you blood red
this plague killed your brain but does it kill your heart
if I'm a zombie too we won't have to be apart
