We are Flipside Bride
Music with an alternative side
‘Audio Pop Art’ is our thing
Unusual songs with that extra ‘zing!’
Theatre, goth, cabaret and pop
From Manic Pianic’s mind workshop
Co-produced with Essex Aid…...
This is how our songs are made
(This is how our songs are made)
We are Flipside Bride
Performance art concepts applied
Our inventive originality
Contributes to our USP
With vocalists we collaborate
On lots of songs that we create
Swinging between light and shade…...
This is how our songs are made
(This is how our songs are made)
We are Flipside Bride
Sit back and let’s enjoy the ride
You’d better shout to all your friends
That our songs are what you’d recommend
Much musical art with variety
Whilst raising funds for charity
So as our theme tune starts to fade…...
You’ve learnt by now how our songs are made

(“Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Who is going to sing this song? You? Very good!”)
Kamikaze karaoke (konichiwa)
A random song, what will it be? (89?)
The machine will choose your fate (13)
Let us play Japanese roulette (get set......go!)
Choose a number, see what comes up (9)
At a party, in the nightclub (7)
Hope it’s not that death song ‘My Way’ (4!)
Murdered vocals unlucky cliché (dumb ass!)
Sing-a-long entertainer with courage bought at the bar
Sing-a-long entertainer tonight you feel like a star
Sing-a-long entertainer so keep your eyes on the screen
Sing-a-long entertainer it’s fun with Harry Karaoke machine!
Come and lose your inhibitions (kanpai!)
A chance to wipe out the competition (748)
Moving symbols as your guide (so hide!)
A target for social suicide (sayonara!)
Sing-a-long entertainer with courage bought at the bar
Sing-a-long entertainer tonight you feel like a star
Sing-a-long entertainer and show the crowd what you’ve got
Sing-a-long entertainer it’s time you gave it a shot
Sing-a-long entertainer so keep your eyes on the screen
Sing-a-long entertainer it’s fun with Harry Karaoke machine!
(*Numbers have meaning -
The search for infinity
Leads some to their death)
(89 – Too have enough luck)
(13 – Unlucky for some?)
(9 – To suffer agony/torture)
(7 – Togetherness)
(4 – Death)
(748 – Why don’t you go die!)
(88 - ha ha!)
(*Haiku #84 by Manic Pianic)

G-A-P Y-E-A-R!
Last night I had a visit from The Angel Victoria
She said she had a secret that she wanted to share with ya
Listen up girls it's gonna be life changing
And it will make you feel like, totally amazing
She said that we should take a year out from school
So that when we go to college we will look real cool
Come with me on an exciting vacation
It's called The Sabbatical of Thinspiration – YEAH!
G-A-P G-A-P
G-A-P Y-E-A-R
G-A-P G-A-P
G-A-P
I thought we could develop a new set of skills
And test a range of laxatives and many diet pills
Body Mass Index is an education
It helps if you are tanked up on medication
I'm a science major yeah I'm on a mission
The Calorific Table is my new religion
Come with me on an exciting vacation
It's called The Sabbatical of Thinspiration
(It’s called The Sabbatical of Thinspiration)
There's nothing more that we despise
Than the excess fat between our thighs
Why can't we look, like our Queen
The mighty Cara Delavingne?
There's nothing more that we despise
Than the excess fat between our thighs
But don't you fret no don't you fear
(No don’t you fret no don’t you fear)
It will all be gone by the end of our gap year
One of the commandments by The Prophet Moss
That will maximize your chances of extreme weight loss
“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”
So go and throw up your food and then skip your next meal
Deferring a year develops common sense
Now's the time to let The Hunger Games commence
Come with me on an exciting vacation
It's called The Sabbatical of Thinspiration
(It’s called The Sabbatical of Thinspiration)
There's nothing more that we despise
Than the excess fat between our thighs
Why can't we look, like our Queen
The mighty Cara Delavingne?
There's nothing more that we despise
Than the excess fat between our thighs
But don't you fret no, don't you fear
(No don’t you fret no don’t you fear)
It will all be gone by the end of our gap year
Wahooooo!

Morpheus

It’s two a.m., but I’m still wide awake
Can’t get to sleep and now my head aches
The tap tap tapping on my nervous system
Messes about with my circadian rhythm
Now three a.m., and I’m still not asleep
Listened to music and I’ve tried counting sheep
The tick tick ticking as each hour drags by
A desperate longing for a soft lullaby
It’s four a.m., but not a hint of a yawn
As I anticipate the chorus of dawn
Hormone of darkness won’t you please visit me
And kindly rid me of this anxiety
But then……
Suddenly, I hear the sound of nocturnal footsteps
Approaching me, above my bed a tall winged silhouette
Morpheus; ruler of my dreams, hypnotic seducer
Morpheus; phantom spirit, night time’s psychic transducer
He covers me with his gossamer wings
It’s time my hallucination begins
He carries me to a cave underground
Somewhere I can feel safe and sound
He signals to me as I take a deep breath
And jump into the river of unconsciousness
A field of poppies with petals bright red
Is where I lie down and rest my tired head
Rest my tired head
In an opium bed
It’s five a.m., as I drift off to sleep
My pulse slows down to a regular beat
Manipulation of my psychology
Has an effect on my, biology
And then.......
Suddenly, I hear the sound of nocturnal footsteps
Approaching me, above my bed a tall winged silhouette
Morpheus; ruler of my dreams, hypnotic seducer
Morpheus; phantom spirit, night time’s psychic transducer
Morpheus; ruler of my dreams, hypnotic seducer
Morpheus; phantom spirit, night time’s psychic transducer
Morpheussssssssssssssss
Morpheussssssssssssssss
Morpheussssssssssssssss
Morpheussssssssssssssss
(Lucidity
Takes control over me)
