Lyon Among Wolves

John Lyon fears no werewolves

Listen to/download the song ---> The Efts - Lyon Among Wolves
YouTube version ---> Lyon Among Wolves - The Efts

John "Baby Toes" Lyon is a great friend of mine. We've spent many many hours together playing video games (mostly WoW) and laughing at everything around us. During the heyday of my ownership of Wild Wonderful Video Games, we were part of a large crew of folks that played WoW together. John's playing style was unique, mostly due to his craptastic laptop. He had no spacebar, no enter key, and several other keys were also missing. His system was constantly overheating due to being woefully undergeared for WoW so he played with a huge box fan next to him. At best, his screen showed four frames per second. Even with all of these handicaps, he completely dominated the rest of us. We all assumed he had some kind of extra-sensory perception or something. Needless to say, his WoW prowess demanded a song so here it is.

Lyrics:

Never needed a spacebar
Never needed an enter key
Only four frames per second
Borrows from his ESP.
You can try to escape him.
You can try to get away.
You can hide in a corner.
He will be there waiting for you.

Like a lion among the wolves
He will prey upon the predators.

Cools his system with box fans
Knows the ends will justify the means
He will dominate your LAN.
Is he man or is he part machine?
Like a lion among the wolves
He will prey upon the predators
Like a lion among the wolves
He will stand while we all fall

Not a Handsome Man


Two of our many alts - Challah and Pumpernickel

Listen to the song
---> The Efts - Not a Handsome Man
YouTube version ---> Not a Handsome Man - The Efts

This is one of the latest songs we wrote and it's real exciting for a couple of reasons. First of all, Lolo sings on this tune! I wrote my part and gave it to her for Valentine's Day 2010. Within a week she had her part worked out. After 2 hours of tinkering, she presented this version of the song to me. I was overwhelmed. I'm really hoping this prompts more duets in the future. The way Lolo overlayed her voice worked out great. She's a natural! This song is also exciting because it commemorates our 20th Valentines Day together. 20 years!!! We're awesome.

Lyrics: I am not a handsome man. No no no. (Yes you are to me) Cracks and flaws on the gemstone of my soul. (Makes you mine for all time) Your beauty makes up for the ugliness of myself. (But your heart is full of kindness) Your cool water tempers my steel. (And your flame keeps me sane) Your ways will save my days from my nights. (Your ways will save my nights from my days) You are the cat and I'm the tree. Your feral claws are the answer to my spells. My bells will ring and sing. (I am the bear you are the priest. Your healing spells are the answer to my growls Your bells will sing and ring).
