When the Giant Squids Come
Words & Music by Brooke Lunderville, 2008.
I wrote this after Consonance 2008, at which it became clear that I am a clone grown by Seanan out of the country for mysterious and nefarious purposes. Or vice versa? We can fight about which one is the evil twin later. But anyway! The important thing is THEN THE GIANT SQUIDS COME.

capo 2
I met my clone today in San Jose G Gadd9 G Gadd9
She wasn't hard to recognize; C
I knew as soon as we locked eyes G
And it was proved when our lips moved G Gadd9 G Gadd9
We spoke as with one voice C
About the day when we'll rejoice G
On the day D
When the giant squids come C G
and their tentacles enfold us G C G
as their giant eyes behold us G D
When the giant squids come C G
and take us all beneath the waves G
to be their wretched human slaves G D
When the giant squids come D G
Who is my evil twin? I'll clue you in. G Gadd9 G Gadd9
She has a favourite isotope C
She dresses like a cantaloupe G
She scribbles madly while she sweetly smiles G Gadd9 G Gadd9
She's writing your obituary C
We're the architeuthis fairies G
And we can't wait for D
When the giant squids come C G
and their tentacles enfold us G C G
as their giant eyes behold us G D
When the giant squids come C G
and take us all beneath the waves G
to be their wretched human slaves G D
When the giant squids come D G
We know we'll love the things the squids will bring G Gadd9 G Gadd9
Because we love to snuggle snakes C
and the sound a bonesaw makes G
We've got our matching orange wetsuit set G Gadd9 G Gadd9
We'll understand if you are scared C
But honey, if you're not prepared G
You'd better get kraken D
When the giant squids come C G
and their tentacles enfold us G C G
as their giant eyes behold us G D
When the giant squids come C G
and take us all beneath the waves G
to be their wretched human slaves G D
When the giant squids come D C
When the giant squids come D C
When the giant squids come D G
