I think having an on going saga or story adds a whole other dimension to the band and their body of work. Not only are people eagerly awaiting new breakfast songs and albums, but some are waiting for the next part of "the saga." And as far as it being a copy of someone else\'s idea...Tim was not the first human on the planet, thus people before him have done the same thing. The guy breathes and eats too. I hear Trey does that. Copy cat.

Buquebus

In old Blubladan
A young smart monsquan
Was born with an itch
Diagnosed wanton
An itch that no one seen
Not this bad is what I mean

This uncontrollable urge
To make some elements merge
Not like fire and water
Coincidentally pure
Bringing back the feeling
Against the royal extreme

Buquebus you can\'t do what you want
A man we call leader told you not
To have fun or act this way
Don\'t disobey
It\'s not okay
So says the king himself
You have to stop shooting off your guns
Buquebus you\'re having too much fun
Our doctors are gonna kill your itch
You son of a ****
You make me sick
Now get the hell out of my face

Buquebus (x6)

Buquebus left the king\'s face
Brought to a doctor\'s place
Where then he felt so aghast
As they abash and attempt
To remove his itch and his rash
And they fail
Because it lies with his face
For he is chosen to be
The most radical spirit to save
Blubladan

He escapes from the hiss
Ready to spread his bliss
In any way shape or form
Not wanting to conform
First step the ultimate kiss
That\'s what created the itch

It starts with a person
A special loving person
Or persons for that matter
You see what I\'m getting at
For now a subsitute
In his little breakfast food

An advertisement is what he needs
To spread the itch and break the king
Buquebus composes a little jingle
It hits the charts as a number one single

Eat your breakfast \'cross the nation
Psychedelic fun sensations
With your woman\'s one way to feel them
Natural way is meditation

Eat your breakfast \'cross the nation
Pancakes and bacon
Psychedelic fun sensations
Elated nation
With your woman\'s one way to feel them
Good vibrations
Natural way is meditation
Levitation

Blubladan is eating them right now
Can\'t do anything but shout about

We\'re gonna shout about
Hey, hey, hey, hey

so i guess the real question is... is blubadan the space city? or maybe its a planet on which space city is chillin?

just figured i\'d revive this for da n00bs (aka taint licker)
realdick

also, puppetry and STL in the saga? can i get a confirmation/speculation? i guess pretty much any tune could be a part... i just feel like puppetry could be Queeb singing under Mooboos spell, and STL could be... i dunno, i guess eppy 3 is the Awakening, but STL could be at similar part in the story.
or both STL and puppetry could be about drugs (my initial interpretation)

Tribal funk affliction has to be a part of the saga

Gordo · « **Reply #69 on:** November 01, 2007, 09:36:20 pm »

If STL is part then I feel like Tribal has to be... To me it seems like Tribal leads into STL like black-and-white Kansas leads into colorful-Oz:

TFA --

(earlier verse states)
He wandered from his
home so long ago
Drained from the day that he can\'t let go
Leaving his wife and life behind
Tattooed hands that will surely die........

He falls to his knees in the burning sand
Cradles his head in his blackened hands
Never was a dream life would
come to this
It was only just a passionate twist

Softly he sighs
He crawls through his eyes
A two second dream
On the brink of eternity

Fantasy crawls close behind
Nightmare isn\'t far behind
Wondering what, where and why
Am I on the otherside.......

>STL --
Look into the light and see
I dig it and I dig you and
I dig everything all around me
I\'m the eternal cosmic being,
flowing in an endless rainbow,
spreading peace and harmony
....yad,yada,yada.....

you catch my drift. Either Tribal is some background to how it all started and then See The Light is the transition into the next stage of his (Buquebus\') life, orrr there is no connection to the whole saga. But I definitely think these two tunes are very much connected lyrically and musically. It is very Wizard Of Oz/kind of Star Wars.

anyone agree?

I\'m actually all about this kind of ****. I love it. I could care less if it is or is not directly influenced by Gamehendge or countless other \'sagas\' or \'operas\' (just in response to the much, much earlier posts in this thread). To me it makes it that much more fun and interesting and keeps the band\'s Pen working in different more creative ways.

Tell the story Tim, I\'ll be sitting here indian-style with a carton of milk.

not positive but I\'m pretty sure neither STL or Tribal are part of the saga.

ive never thought so either. if i wasnt clear i wanted to stress that Tribal and STL are connected to each other but could very well be, and most likely are, independent from the saga. basically two songs together that equal a short story. buut i could see it go either way at the same time. so whatever.

dont\' need to......... He told me the whole story on etime in the van during a national tour and Lat and the Great is DEF part of it, but I\'ll ask him tonight anyway....

SON OF SIMPLETON

Hey have you heard of a Simpleton?
Have you heard of him, name is Simpleton, oohooh
He had a son his name Ekkatin
Son of Simpleton, named him Ekkatin, oohooh
He was an eccentric little kid
Eccentric that he was, quite a different touch, oohooh
Blubta was one of his favorite toys
Blubta that he did, did it as a kid, oohooh
At two he scribble blubtonian
Scribbled it right, down on the ground, oohooh
Magical with painting and he painted wind
Painted wind and sound, sun and all the clouds, oohooh

It\'s so nice
To see a little kid, creative as he is
He\'s a son
Son of Simpleton, Son of Simpleton

When he grew up, he jumped out of his painting

I beleive Ekkatin is Buquebus\' son. Possibly w/ Mooboo
