A statement of intent, over a characteristic Tollain drum line.

“Tollain says after High Drama we ought to do a song called Low Comedy. I told him it would be a summary of our career to date.”
--Suncat

lyrics

HIGH DRAMA
(Truesingers)

Hoofbeats thunder across the plain
As you sight a black sail on the Spanish Main
And the passengers on the runaway train
Are starting to feel a little nervous strain
When you break into the lair of the evil mage
And the giant ape's busting out of his cage
And the kitchen erupts in screams of rage
Because the trainee cook's added too much sage

CHORUS
High drama
Coming to a theatre near you
High drama
Wonder if they'll make it through
High drama

The gang can't agree how to split the take
Going downhill at ninety someone cut the brake
And the vampire count's just about to awake
When you find out you came out without your stake
When the whole Lost Temple begins to shake
And the boss gets poisoned by a clerk on the make
When you're trying to flee from the great earthquake
But you're not gonna make it 'cause you stepped on a rake

CHORUS
High drama
Coming to a theatre near you
High drama
Wonder if you'll make it through
High drama
High drama

BRIDGE
Some people just don't know how to relax
Ain't nothing surer than death and tax
(Listen to the sax!)

(Instrumental)

BRIDGE 2
Some people just need to play it cool
If you get het up over every little thing you're a fool
(Go back to school!)

When the street's jammed solid and you're running late
When you ask for nine doughnuts and they give you eight
When your lunch arrives on a dirty plate
And you pick up a splinter from a packing crate
When you don't like the face of your candidate
And you're even less enchanted by her running mate
And you want to get a gun and overthrow the state
'Cause there's people getting married and they ain't straight

CHORUS
High drama
Coming to a theatre near you
High drama
Wonder if we'll make it through
High drama
Why'd you have to overreact?
High drama
Ain't nothing but a simple fact
(use some tact)
High drama
High drama
High drama
(Who put the drama in the Drama Llama Ding Dong?)

Zanda Myrande is still recovering from the trauma of being Zander Nyrond for several decades. She has only come out online at this point, for reasons which may be apparent from the picture above, but she proudly embraces her trans identity while still giving house room to Zander and the rest of the deadbeats who populate her head.

Lives in Wiltshire and has better friends than she deserves. ... more
