Biography:
Frog Eyes is an indie rock band from Victoria (British Columbia, Canada), The quartet is led by singer/guitarist Carey Mercer and is known for their highly idiosyncratic songs, which pit Mercer's unhinged, melodic vocals against a swirling mass of guitar, keyboards, and drums. Drummer Melanie Campbell (also Mercer's wife) notably uses a 'found object' as part of her drums set, the so-called "dinger." This object was only used on their first three albums and has since been disposed of in favour of a normal ride cymbal.

[Verse 1]
Bb
Oh, the Roman ambassador was torn a, torn apart by plaster
Dm
And reassembled after:
Gm Dm
The 40, 40 years of bombing:
Gm Dm
They were wild and they were crying,
Eb
In the picture where the smoke cleared
F
They'll tear your body, body from your beard
F# F
And watch as the planes burn the boats from the isle
[Verse 2]
Bb
A board is a board when the pulpit, pulpit meets the sword
Dm
And the poet has been bored
Gm Dm
He's seen Fire and he's seen Pain
Gm Dm
Oh the tedium has stained,
Eb
O Vergil, get your rake out
F
There's a pastor to be pulled
F# F
And 60 miles west of Rome: "I stopped some dreadful hoard."
[Verse 3]
Bb
And I know I know I, la-la-la-la-la,
Dm
And I will let my body go, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
Gm Dm
And when it goes and then it stinks
Gm Dm
There will be beauty in its stink
Eb
And the last rays of the fink
F
Will suppose themselves to shine
F# F
Upon the corpse of Stinking Gold
[Interlude]
Dm
That has fallen oh into brine, ine, ine, ine, oh
Bb Dm Bb Dm
Idle song, Oh, oh Idle song dadado
Bb Dm Bb Dm
Idle song, hoo-hoo-hoo Idle song dada
Bb Dm Bb Dm
Idle song, Idle song dadado
Bb Dm Bb
Idle song, hoo-hoo-hoo Idle song
