I put in a suggestion to have the lyrics of The Brute Chorus included on this site. I especially wanted to post the lyrics of their songs Chateau. I love the lyrics of this song and they don't seem to be posted anywhere else on the net:

My floor is made of wood but my roof is made of tin
You should hear the sound it makes when the rain clouds roll on in
A million teardrops drummin' on the roof of my chateau
I never had no neighbours no, at least none that I know

I was lonely when you got here
I'll be lonely when you go
So why should I let you in, my dear?
That's what I'd like to know

My garden is this forest, I am fenced in by the trees
Though you can hear the birds a singin', carried on the breeze
I had a million voices' chorus at the door of my chateau
I never had no neighbours no, at least none that I know

I was lonely when you got here
I'll be lonely when you go
So why should I let you in, my dear?
That's what I'd like to know
Yeah, that's what I'd like to know

Oh you look just like a wolf my dear though you're wearing clever clothes
What great shiny teeth you have, what a hairy nose
And a million things are telling me that I should not let you in
You got a nasty glint in your eyes, you got saliva on your chin

And I was lonely when you got here
I'll be lonely when you go
So why should I let you in, my dear?
That is what I'd like to know
Yeah, that's what I'd like to know

Tell me

I don't get many visitors (x4)

I was lonely when you got here
I'll be lonely when you go
So why should I let you in, my dear?
That's what I'd like to know (x3)

You say you must possess me, what my body and my soul
Consume me entirely as you want to take me home
And you want to come and live with me in the walls of my chateau
And I'll never need no neighbours no, at least none that I know
No I'll never need no neighbours no, at least none that I know
But I'll never need no neighbours no, at least none that I know

I love these lyrics! I always think of it being a Little Red Riding Hood story, except that the real villain is the *grandmother*, who is killed and replaced by the wolf in the original tale, but in Chateau is kind of a spider waiting for the wolf (or anything else) to step into her clutches: "I don't get many visitors" :-)

  The "guy" starts by comparing the rain drops with tears suggesting sadness. Sadness caused by the fact that he is alone ("I never had no neighbours no"), or at least that is what he feels like ("at least none that I know") because he didnt have anyone special.

  In the chorus he is asking why should he let someone close to him, to his soul, because he was alone untill then and he will be after that person leaves...he is afraid of geting hurt.

  He continues by comparing his soul to a garden that has a wall of trees to keep everyone out...although he catches a glimpse of what is going on beyond it ("Though you can hear the birds a singin', carried on the breeze"), and although he can feel what's on the other side he was always alone.

  He then realises that the person aproaching him is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and that person could be dngerous ("What great shiny teeth you have") and everything is telling him not to trust, not to open up.

  I see two possible interpretation for the final verse :

1.That person wants to control and consume him...to use him and to break him from the inside causing him never to want somebody close to him ever again ("I'll never need no neighbours no")

2.That person wants him entirely, body and soul, wants to get inside and be togeather forever ...a very passionate description of love... and then he won't need anyone else ("I'll never need no neighbours no")

  Either way...he is never sure of what he wants("at least none that I know")...these are just feelings and they can play many tricks on our rational minds, turning our whole existence upside down.

  This is just my interpretation of the lyrics and I dont assume to be 100% right.
