Three, three.
Fly high.
No wings.
To show.
Show, show.

HEY!
Helicopters, look out below.
Helicopters, flying low.

Night, night.
In the red sky.
Three fly.
All in a line.
Running out of time.

HEY!
Helicopters, look out below.
Helicopters, flying low.

Slide against the fan, the room is clear,
Suddenly we have a vacuum.
In the mail a telegram, I could not wait, all aboard the caravan it leves today,
And then the night comes on, the lights turn low,
fall asleep, all alone,
Consider for a second the ways of the world.
Maybe I'll throw myself a bone.

Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs,
But my back's not to the wall.
Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man,
But the days just aren't that long.
So if I settle back and chill,
Will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream?
I thought it was the story of the world.

Can I call out and say, everybody here,
Lend me an ear to talk to.
Can I call out and scream, the ways of the world,
Have got me singing another tune.
But the words are so familiar, I heard it before.
And you might dare to sing along.
With the crickets out chirping a random song,
Maybe I'll throw myself a bone.

Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs,
But my back's not to the wall.
Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man,
But the days just aren't that long.
So if I settle back and chill,
Will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream?
I thought it was the story of the world.

When frick turns to frack, there's no turning back,
and you got a slip tongue and a smack attack.
and there's colors like green and you're wearing black,
and your phone got flat on a railroad track.
but then the sun comes up and the day moves on,
and the old routine takes its toll,
and you feel like a copier rolling along,
maybe you'd throw yourself a bone.

Maybe you'd throw yourself to the dogs,
but you back's not to the wall.
Maybe you'd lay some bricks for the man,
But the days just aren't that long.
And if you settle back and chill,
Will you see far enough to feel the angel's dream?

I thought it was the story of the world.
I thought it was the story of the world.
I thought it was the story.

When the song first debuted, it didn't have a name, and a group of fans took to calling it "Splattums" (a description of what happened to your brain when you listened to it). After the band gave the song it's official name, those same fans refused to call it anything but Splattums and continued to label it as such on recordings. Eventually, the band wrote Crickets, and added the "Lookout, splattums!" line in the chorus in the hopes that it would confuse people just enough to force the fanbase to start calling this song Svenghali.

My girl she left,
so the story goes,
what do you know?
All the things that I thought that I knew went out the window.

There's a last time for everything,
What do you say?
It happens that way.
Stormed out yelling, gone forever, but she called me today...

And maybe, all that you want to be is all that you had to be,
When flakes of gold and fallen rubies are never enough, never enough
So you spend your time opening doors for everyone else but me.
In the morning time, the sky up above you, the sun'll come up.

I Work too hard so I buy myself style for walking the mile,
Hours a day that I spend doing nonsense worth somebody's while.

I'm gonna go out and jam
I'm gonna go out and party
I got a brand new mission
So bring your ass to the party

Cover it up
I know you got eyes,
you know you got time.
You want free from the octopus wrapped around your mind.

Run to the hills,
out on your own,
fig leaves for clothes.
Whip that tongue,
as you search for a grip,
and you reach for the phone.

And maybe, all that you want to be is all that you had to be,
When flakes of gold and fallen rubies are never enough, never enough
So you spend your time opening doors for everyone else but me.
In the morning time, the sky up above you, the sun'll come up.

I Work too hard so I buy myself style for walking the mile,
Hours a day that I spend doing nonsense worth somebody's while.

I'm gonna go out and jam!
I'm gonna go out and party!
I got a brand new mission (sometimes it's 'I got a pool full of bitches')
so bring your ass to the party!

You can't stop me
You can't stop me
You can't stop me
You can't stop me

Crossed off, laid up till noon in bed,
Got cauliflower dreams as your brain's ripped to shreds
You made it to the dance, but you're wearing a towel.
Let me play you one that'll make you howl.

Crossed off, laid up till noon in bed,
got cauliflower dreams as your brain's ripped to shreds
you made it to the dance, but you're wearing a towel.
Let me play you one that'll make you howl,
Ladies give me one that'll make me howl,
Let me play you one that'll make you wanna go out and jam!
Gonna go out and party!
I got a brand new mission
so bring your ass to the party!

7-11, in its earliest stage, almost feels like a symbolic statement on the band. It debuted 3/11/00, the first show after Marc Brownstein was fired, a show rife with experimentation, new ideas and techniques. A morose breakup song with a resigned yet optimistic and somewhat fuck-it-all refrain seems very fitting for this mood.

Before the debut, Barber told the audience that the song came from “a very emotional time… I was working a 7-11, and then I got back to 7-11 and the song was in the rotation. We’re going to play it once. Only today.” Shortly before its second performance, Barber told the audience that people had been telling him to keep it in the rotation.

Perhaps no song changed as much from its debut as 7-11. The earliest versions of the song, called “Bring Your Ass to the Party” until its first rework in 2001, were considerably slower and the lyrics much less polished and rawer than later versions. There is a poignant personalness to the lyrics in the 2000 versions not present in the post-rework versions: take for example the line, “girl, I even wrote a rock opera for you, it wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough.” The distinct “I’m gonna go out and jam” refrain is present and largely the same as modern versions, but the pre-chorus is absent and the verses are very different.

Bring Your Ass to the Party was played six times before being shelved, five without Marc Brownstein. The jam section, like the song itself, was considerably rawer than with modern iterations, often resulting in wild exploratory jams. The best example of this is the only version played with the full band before the song was reworked, 8/26/00 at Camp Bisco, sandwiched between the debut of Home Again. The segues into and out of Bring Your Ass to the Party put this segment in easy contention for the best versions ever played of both songs.

After Camp Bisco, Bring Your Ass to the Party was shelved until it was debuted again, reworked and rebranded as 7-11, on 6/27/01 at the private show at Lisa Klein’s house. This show also featured the debuts of The Tunnel and the Spy rework. The differences in the song structure are numerous and profound. The song was much faster post-rework, and the lyrics no longer make reference to a breakup. The composition is considerably more fleshed out as well. The “maybe all that you want to be is all that you have to be” pre-chorus/ending and the “towel” bridge were both added--and, in fact, prior to the rework, the song didn’t really have an ending at all.

7-11 became a staple of the fall tour of 2001, which is replete with standout versions of the song, most notably 9/9/01. The band also became more adventurous with the song structure. It was split up for the first time on 8/8/01, split up at the middle (or towel section) on 9/14/01 and 9/15/01, and inverted on 12/1/01.

7-11 remained a staple of the band’s catalog after the rework, not disappearing from the rotation for more than 40 shows, however it still was not fully finished. 3/9/02 is a particularly interesting version, featuring both the first verse referencing a breakup and the distinctive heavy intro riff; the former was not standard until 8/7/02 and the latter not until 9/28/02. Additionally, the Perfume version, often called Wawa, was introduced on 5/28/03. Despite the fact that it was played only the once, it has remained a popular request ever since.

The song remained solid for the remainder of Sammy’s tenure, particularly in the fall of 2002. 9/28/02 was the first three part version and 11/9/02 the second and final until 1/4/20. Other significant versions from this era include 10/19/02 and 10/26/02.

7-11 remained in the rotation after Allen joined the band, but over the years the ending became rarer and rarer. Allen played the ending for the first time on 10/19/07, whereupon it reentered the rotation sporadically. It was played two more times in 2007, twice in 2008, twice in 2009, then shelved again until 2014.

7-11 was especially strong in the golden years of 2.0, 2007 and 2009. 10/26/07 stands head and shoulders above the others from the year, although they’re all fairly consistent. 2009 was possibly the best year for the song; the most notable versions include 2/25/09, 6/4/09, 9/25/09, and 10/2/09. The song was only played three times in 2010, but all three are worthwhile.

The song remained in fairly steady rotation in the setbreak era with at least one or two per year. It became fairly interesting again in 2018, with two massive contenders for GOAT status: 5/24/18, a type two full version complete with outro, and 12/28/18, an unfinished version with two lengthy jams including one of the longest towel jams ever.

After setbreak was declared to be over, the song became somewhat more of a rarity, appearing only twice per year in 2020-2022 and just once in 2023. Of these versions, 4/8/22 is notable as being the fourth three-part 7-11 ever, and 10/16/21 is worth hearing for a particularly strong towel jam.

I'm bored, so I figured I'd give all the bass players in the house a
little finger workout.....I've got some more of this tabbed, but it's
trapped on my crippled computer....might drop it at a later date.

It's the bass melody toward the beginning, which is a recurring theme on
all three instruments throughout. You can play it as is on guitar, but
it would definitely not be the ideal position. I leave it to you to
figure out what would be.

And he didn't know where he was going,

The waves make mountains, I've sailed with ease,
As wind gathers firmly in my canopy.
We dive through the mist to the autumn sun,
My vessel and its crew of twenty one, and we fly.

Through burgundy smoke and a fear of home,
Alas, my final mission to the great unknown.
As my thoughts betray me in flashes so bold,
I'm reminded of home where the coast shines like gold.

darkness, thunderstorm, a ship going down,
the crashing of rain and its deafening sound.
as the crew ties the sails blown aside by the wind,
crashing from the waves come tumbling in and we fly.

Rolling like a cobra, one life to spend,
drifting through the heavens where the oceans they end.
and there's no longer the sea no longer the sun,
my ship and the waves have all swirled into one.

And i'm off past the vision, the line of the light,
Where oceans turn waterfalls, daytime turns night.
And no people return, no stories to tell,
And i watched through the door for the toll of the bell.

And we fly...

One with the raging wind,
Alive on the highest tides,
My ship at sail can climb a mountain,
Ride it to the sky.

Whoa...oh, he'll navigate!

Earlier up this morning, as I sit upon the bow,
In the distance, my homeland, but I just don't know how.
Years along the sea, and I thought I'd find the sun.
Once around the world, and now I think I'm done.

Hi, my name is Sally.
I'm a little munchkin.

A little munchkin!

","Tablature by Evan Leon:

Introduction:

F# | Bm | C# | C# (repeat)

The next section is the one with the really complicated rhythm that
I don't really know how to transcribe. All I can say is that the
figure is repeated twice on A, then once on F#. Following that,
slide up to A for the first verse section.

For the verse section, Jon plays a short figure in A similar to
the following (but usually different):

Figure 1:
e 9h10p9
B 12 10 10 10 9
G 9
D 11
A 12
E

Play around on that for 4 measures, then break into a reggae-type
strum on an A chord for seven measures, and the words start on the
8th measure:

A
We come from the city,

Bm A (3 measures)
We come from the jungle.

Repeat that part, then to the bridge section:

Bm | D | F# | F#
Bm | D | F# | E A
F# | Bm | C# | C#
F# | Bm | A | A

Then Jon takes a solo over the bridge progression.

More to come soon, I just wanted to get something up here to get
everyone started.","munchkin",126,"We come from the city, we come from\nthe jungle ",239,["D",1755648000000],["D",956966400000],{"_101":117,"_103":857,"_105":104,"_107":117,"_109":57,"_111":57,"_113":102,"_115":108,"_116":110,"_118":114,"_120":134,"_122":112,"_123":110,"_125":112,"_126":110,"_127":57,"_128":110,"_129":110,"_130":112,"_131":134,"_132":418,"_133":240,"_135":134,"_136":239,"_138":121,"_139":134},29,{"_859":860,"_362":863,"_744":867,"_754":869,"_757":872,"_874":875,"_158":878,"_168":882,"_381":883,"_886":887},"129",{"_25":861,"_145":258,"_146":862},"2008-12-26",154,{"_25":864,"_145":865,"_146":866},"2011-07-02","2011-01-14",169,{"_25":155,"_145":683,"_146":868},162,{"_25":165,"_145":870,"_146":871},"2013-01-26",168,{"_25":873,"_145":165,"_146":147},"2013-12-18","165",{"_25":876,"_145":877,"_146":455},"2014-08-01","2014-02-22",{"_25":879,"_145":880,"_146":881},"2015-10-31","2015-04-18",196,{"_25":369,"_145":370,"_146":366},{"_25":285,"_145":884,"_146":885},"2019-12-28",294,"198",{"_25":888,"_145":285,"_146":889},"2021-03-25",159,2001,"http://sickbarberlicks.weebly.com/munchkin-invasion.html",[893],{"_21":894,"_201":491,"_202":294,"_31":895,"_33":896},"3d00b014-8510-4a86-9df4-454918975798",["D",1718647153836],["D",1718647153836],{"_21":777,"_51":22,"_52":898,"_54":55,"_56":418,"_58":-5,"_31":899,"_33":900,"_35":36,"_23":901,"_63":-5,"_64":65,"_66":-5,"_68":302,"_39":57,"_41":112,"_46":902,"_71":903,"_197":950},"747bebf1-ad9c-4e63-9aab-a8d518b33223",["D",1582389369200],["D",1763005959940],"2005-07-23-42","42 S2 opener Magellan",{"_21":898,"_73":904,"_23":904,"_31":905,"_33":906,"_78":907,"_80":28,"_27":28,"_83":908,"_29":909,"_86":65,"_87":725,"_89":726,"_91":910,"_92":911,"_93":455,"_95":912,"_97":913,"_99":914,"_140":915,"_191":947,"_193":948,"_195":949,"_46":904},"42",["D",1582386622856],["D",1756174172760],"

vast consumption by the fog
seasaw sandy drifting log
level headed cosmonaut
creature living as he's sought

Souls are wrapped around each other.

cynicism in the wick
power down and candle lit
Eucalyptus burning bees
splendid moment, funny tree

Souls are wrapped around each other.

Monarch mission, on the vine.
Kinetic vision intertwined.
Crystal dripping, icicle.
Aquifer is running full.

Souls are wrapped around each other.

Red cliff flux capacitor.
Little trouble finding her.
Royal pepper, tidal wave.
Restless fellow, yearning rave.

Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)

Does the sun revolve around the earth?
Does reflection make the water blue?
Should I forget the dream I had last night?
Or remember it and follow through?

I ask that question to myself,
I don't know what to do.
Chin is rested in my hands,
I feel like I'm on 42.

I ask that question to myself,
I don't know what to do.
Chin is rested in my hands,

Mysticism in my thoughts.
But further now than astronauts.
Dictionary, silent speak.
Maybe in the middle week.

Souls are wrapped around each other.

Reside beneath the covered bridge.
With subtle precious words again
Ray of light break through the roof,
Right on time and bring the truth.

Nighttime frozen in parking lots
Backside winter and I forgot
Early morning china bowls
Silent shell in control

No three color basketball
Mother painting on the wall
Bedtime story, lesson learned
Lifetime mission overturned.

Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)

Does the sun revolve around the earth?
Does reflection make the water blue?
Should I forget the dream I had last night?
Will I ever know just what to do?

I ask that question to myself,
I don't know what to do.

I feel like I'm on 42.

Inarguably one of the longest songs in the Biscuits catalog, 42 features repetitive trancey guitar riffs and catchy synth hooks, cryptic lyrics, and the potential for a powerful peak that, at times, would cause even the most seasoned vets to incorrectly call Run Like Hell. 42 alienated some fans at first with its lengthy verses and slow pre-choruses, and at its first performance, 4/3/03, the only jam was a short and very type one solo. The band did not waste any time fleshing out 42, however: it was segued into the first performance and split up by its fifth, 4/16/03--into Run Like Hell, unsurprisingly. By 4/26/03, which featured a standalone 42, the song had a reliable jam section. It was inverted for the first time on 7/26/03, a show which features numerous other setlist innovations such as the second inverted Aceetobee, the first three-part Buddha, and the first split unfinished Shimmy.

The band continued to flesh out 42 for the remainder of Sammy’s tenure, but it wasn’t until Allen joined the band that the song’s full potential as trance juggernaut was realized. It was played twice over New Year’s Run 2005, and nineteen times in 2006 (the most times played after 2003). The song quickly became a centerpiece of the band’s spacey psychedelic sound of 06-07. Important versions include 5/4/06 (mainly for the jam into it but a solid full version as well), 11/22/06, and 6/9/07.

If the song fared well in the early era of 2.0, it was perhaps at its peak in the high-energy later years of 2.0, late 08-early 10. Numerous high-energy, exploratory versions abound from this era, such as 12/27/08, 2/15/09, 4/18/09 (widely regarded as the best standalone version), and 6/6/09.

42 remained a staple of the band's catalog through the setbreak years, with a brief renaissance in 2017-2018. 6/1/17 is a powerful 2009-esque version, while 10/20/18 and 12/29/18 recall more experimental early versions.
