Spider's Prize
Comment Share
This song recalls those carefree days in the mid 60's, sipping cappuccinos and sporting fashionable berets at that little coffee house in the Village ... except that none of us were alive in the mid 60's. Featuring David Gignac on vocals.

The Red Herring Band combines an odd assortment of infectious melodies into something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike indie rock.
Every morning at 5 AM, Dave Gignac hand-picks only the finest musicians, vine-ripened to the peak of perfection, to use in his special studio project. These musicians are flown via. refrigerated cargo plane to South Austin, but we have no idea what happens to them from there, because they obviously never appear on any of our albums. Instead, you get an over-produced garage band consisting of a trio of Austin high-tech workers who have in fact never played together in the same room.

Lyrics
Would you deny while caught in silken threads fast the spider's prize: an unwary savory gnat A simple pattern spun over the corner of the eve Held together by a simple subtle weave Lustery and silvery in the late evening's dew Only discovered by the early morning's view A broken art discarded for the artist's new-found beauty Swept up by the housekeeper's daily duty Recluse beaten by the angle Atop the gutter in an upside-down dangle Last guise an attempt to be stolen A bigger bug, a better web to be woven Cicada chide the eight hairy legs a-dither Scamper upon the silver spires of glitter The spider bites, the fly's last rites, As the hungry hunter comes hither All dressed up in silver thread It got stuck and wound up dead What's the fate of this fickle fly? Paralyzed, it's now the spider's prize All dressed up in silver thread It got stuck and wound up dead What's the fate of this fickle fly? Paralyzed, it's now the spider's prize
