about

WEEK 7 of "Meet the Lampreys" wherein we finally meet the lampreys.

We suspect most of you are unfamiliar with lampreys. We were. And this song, well it may not be entirely accurate, even about the Star Wars monsters. We nevertheless hope it assists you as you come to know the lampreys in your own way.

lyrics

barracudas drill holes
but lampreys aren't like that
lampreys aren't like that
not a fish not an eel
but still kind of round (yeah)
a mouth full of teeth

everything you don't like but bigger and in tube form
everything you don't like but bigger and in tube form

got a mouth like a mynock
but won't attack spaceships
cause lampreys aren't like that
the exogorth and the sarlacc
have nothing on lampreys
except maybe size

everything you don't like but bigger and in tube form
everything you don't like but bigger and in tube form

I used to listen to this album on Spotify religiously, it really does help me sit back and relax and do my work and stuff like that. I love the Pavement/ Shiner influences in the songs, really cool. Bryan Wisri
