about

Buke and Gase are the incredible New York duo of Arone Dyer and Aron Sanchez. They play the handmade instruments the band is named after. Again, it was such fun to expand an arrangement played by a duo for orchestra and choir. This tune is a massive challenge for us to play as it changes time signature repeatedly from 3/4 to 12/8. Lead vocals by our wonderful Paris Fantasy secretary, Abby Tsype.

lyrics

Split Like A Lip

Someone went and handled her with too tight a grip
Trying to make the mess of their old wood glue stick
It seems like the pressure brought her weight down
Spitting all the pulp from her squeezed out little lime

ahh I belong
on my own
I'm the sum
not a part
not the wheel
on a cart
Not a link
in a chain
not a seat
on a train
i'm my own ride

That's what you get,
when you mess with me she says
That's what you get,
when you step to me

Get close and I might appear
clear enough to get a good sense
Too close is enough to pull you under
In a force of false pretense

And all the while you had bigger beams on your mind
running around again with your head cut off
you liked her just fine she's a nice girl but never mind
wouldn't want to be any other way out side these walls

I belong
on my own
I'm the sum
not a part
not the wheel
on a cart
Not a link
in a chain
not a seat
on a train ah

I belong
on my own
I'm the sum
not a part
not the wheel
on a cart
Not a link
in a chain
not a seat
on a train ah

I belong
on my own
Not a piece
of a pie
not a pit
in a peach
Not a fix
in a pinch
i'm my own ride

I never know just when it's too good to be true I never notice
ahh
I never know just when it's too good to be true
I never notice
I never notice
I never notice
