Lulubird, Shoot the Doorbell Off My Head

Here are the lyrics to a really great of Montreal song off their heavily beatlesque 2001 album Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies.

Penelope

Penelope, shoot the apple off my head
I need to go to the store to get some sleep.
Because I've run out of sleep.

The row boat came so David stopped arguing
with a mime and waved his arms like wheat.
But when he tried to speak the Prince of Plum fell through the

Nicolynn, shoot the candle off my head
I need to go to the store to get some beets.
To rub all over my feet.

Andy's joke reminded Gerard that his
sloth balloon was owned by Turkish moths.
Gerard's Lebanese boss had sent him out on business

I need to go to the store to get some treats.
For Goethe, Becket and Keats.

simultaneously whisper to themselves the word "calendar".
