Gorillaz - The Book of Noodle lyrics
[Gorillaz - The Book of Noodle lyrics]
Days after the attack on Plastic Beach
Noodle awoke in a strange
Japanese village that
Smelled of fish it was a
Fishing village she'd been nursed back
To health by an old
Pearl diver named Chiyoko, so
To repay her kindness
Noodle took a job as her apprentice
She was a natural
(having shared a tour bus with Murdoc
She was really
Good at holding her breath) but one day
Deep beneath the waves
Noodle prized open a pearl shell of unearthly
Size, accidentally releasing an ancient
Hell demon it scarpered
Ready to party like it's 1499
Noodle learned that this was Maazu, a
Shapeshifting devil of unimaginable evil
That could take human form it had to
Be destroyed to do so
She must remove it's head from it's
Body or the other way around
But finding a shapeshifter is
Like looking for a
Beard at an Arcade Fire concert for years
Noodle pursued Maazu across Japan
From the heights of Mt Fuji to the
Deepest, darkest forests finally, she
Tracked Maazu to Tokyo
Where it had risen to the
Top of the criminal underworld
Disguising herself as a geisha
Noodle infiltrated it's
Debauched headquarters, The Demon's
Lodge and there
While Maazu was distracted by a heated
Bout of 'Drink While You Think'
She lopped off it's head
His earthly existence
Was over and the carpet was ruined
Escaping Mazuu's Sumo bodyguards
Noodle packed herself into
A FedEx crate with dried fish
Bottled water and
A copy of Moby Dick - if she
Was ever to finish
Melville's onerous classic, it was now
Her package was addressed: West London
