about

Joan of Arc was written during a visit to Carson City, NV while visiting my parent's house for Christmas. I don't sleep well Christmas Eve, so I got online and researched the snot out of Joan of Arc and wrote a song about her...isn't that what everyone does Christmas Eve to pass the time? The song didn't come together as quickly as it usually does, but I'm glad I took the time with it. It's fast become one of my favorites and I hope it becomes one of yours too.
Please enjoy the tale of Joan of Arc...

lyrics

Verse 1
=====
She was -- undeniably beautiful as the daughter of a farmer
And she -- thought it was beautiful when the angels spoke to her
She hugged -- her daddy and her mommy, (Isabelle Romeè) and cropped her hair

'cuz
It's not -- wise to ignore commands from a blessed Deity, Aw can't ya' see?

CHORUS
======
She was a French-born peasant girl!
A French-born peasant girl!

Verse 2
=====
They tried almost every other tactic, embarrassingly tragic, it was almost slapstick
Then she showed up with a permission slip for the division to blast their asses down
Let's raise the town, behind...

CHORUS
======
The French-born peasant girl!
The French-born peasant girl!

BRIDGE
=====
With her standard held up high, against the war torn sky
Who'd have thought she'd change the world
It was A ten decade fight -- and she knew that she was right
'Til thrice they burned her at the stake...
So much for give and take
(spoken) "Merci Dauphin Charles" (French -- pronunciation "Mare-see doo-fah-Shar")

Verse 3
=====
Her trial -- So ecclesiastical practically gymnastic-al, a travesty...
Unfair -- imprisoned in a tower, the woman of the hour
Thought that she could fly -- Still she would die..."

CHORUS
======
A French-born peasant girl!
French-born peasant girl!
French-born peasant girl!
French-born peasant girl!

'Barenaked Ladies' meets 'Pink Floyd'
'Ben Folds dates Blink 182'
'Early Gin Blossoms' goes 'Bowling For Soup' with 'Green Day'
'Rob Thomas' slaps 'Tom Petty' while 'They Might Be Giants' stands by and sips a Slurpee and slow-claps in approval while nodding.
