Lyrics for Tropical Ice-Land as interpreted by tirhascragoo

Tropical Ice-Land Lyrics
Goat's head in the deli case
Oh sweet angel-angel-bearded face
Paper maché parade on at night
That's what you do with no sunlight
In the tropical tropical
Tropical ice-land
Bleak church on a cold tundra
Mountain-glacier-glacier-glacier-stream
Black stone beach and a black death bottle
Is all me and my baby'll need
In the tropical, tropical
Tropical ice-land
Take intermission at the movies
Freeze outside for one quick smoke
Take a klondike bar from the pop machine
Hey it's ice cream, no not coke
In the tropical tropical
Tropical ice-land
Let's meet in Kristiana next summer
Let's get out before we melt away
I've seen enough stray ponies and puffins
To get me through till the end of May
In the tropical tropical
Tropical ice-land

This was the first Fiery Furnaces song I ever heard, late one night on Brave New Waves. I downloaded a few more of their songs, and in less than a week, owned both of their CDs.

This was the first FF song I heard too, and I fell in love. It was the single version, the one with the verse at the end where half of it is played backwards. I have this dream that someday I'll be able to play those parts forward and figure out what the verse says. Then my life will be complete.

The last verse on the EP version, including the backwards parts, goes like this:

And if you ever need some hash or weed
You won't be gettin' it here
Just take a boat across the bumpy sea
Go to Denmark, man, oh it's so near

Is marijuana legal in Denmark? Maybe they were thinking of the Netherlands...

To teiladnam I think they mean marijuana is just very hard to come by in Iceland. I don't know for sure but its probably hard to grow there and there probably isn't a lot smuggled in either, not a big enough population to support the cost.
