Leopard of Honor Lyrics
The leopard of honor speaks to a crowd of the dead, shouting out for more
Suspiciously formed of the fast ones, you must always leave them wanting, he said
So we went down to the store
I saw you at the store
Now, in this regards, where do I start to keep us free - keep us apart?
I wanted to speak up, but it was not my place
Just some little shit in love with your eyes - a brute adrift in space
Pirouettes across the sky’s faces where you’ll find me
I was dead on my feet
Asleep for days
A stranger to the sun’s brutal gaze, ah yeah
Mother Superior’s the only one who calls
She says, “Hey, when are you ever coming over?”
Remove that wretched writing from the wall
It’s just more pictures again.
Jenny fell like a ton of bricks
Jenny fell like a ton of bricks
These are characterized as special times, and these are special times -- oh
Jenny fell like a ton of bricks
She travels in and out of you like some shade whistlin' Dixie
I didn’t know why, I guess I was high
Sick mansions freckle the skies, saying, "For Christ’s sakes, inhabit me"
I was dead on my feet
Asleep for days
A stranger to the sun’s brutal ways, ah yeah
Mother Superior’s the only one who calls
She says, “Baby, when are you ever coming over?”
Enjoy the wretched writing on the wall
Enjoy!
Will the leopard of honor speak? Will the leopard of honor speak?
Please stand, open your mouth, put out your hand and say
“I saw you standing there singing for money”
Going dum da da dum

Just some little shit in love with your eyes - a brute adrift in space

Man, I accidentally downloaded this song off of a p2p client and I'm damn glad that I did. Twenty-five seconds in or so he sounds like Steve Buscemi, absolutely amazing..
also I uploaded the song to youtube if anyone wants to hear it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KXG4DE52Ks
A Leopard of Honour is the lifetime achievement award handed out by a Swiss film festival. Wikipedia says that "the award especially denotes recognition of auteur cinema and creative and audacious filmmaking."
I'll let someone else try and figure out what, if anything, that has to do with the song.

I'm a little terrified of going into that territory too ... but I'll throw this out there: perhaps 'leopard of honour' refers to someone who speaks rather well about film. someone who may not even be aware of the award even existing. I have a lot of personal interpretations of this song, but the one above would be one of the less personal ones.

This song references the classic house track "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" by Crystal Waters, where the chorus is "As she stands there singing for money, da da dee da dee dum".
