about

This demo version of Buca appears on the Sky Pipes album, and shows the more "poppy" origins of the song.

Because of the stripped-down nature of this version, both the lyrics, and Tina's vocal performance, are a little more clearly showcased here, than in the final version of Buca (on the album "maven"), which was produced in such a way, that the sound was intended to reflect the disturbed mindset of the song's main character.

The song is about a former clown who has a breakdown, in a restaurant that happened to share this clown's (former) name, and the anguish of this now essentially forgotten person who used to bring laughs, now brings tragedy to the world.

The song also expresses the surreal nature of such a sudden event that is usually outside most peoples' experiences, as well as the shocking nature of sudden and seemingly random violence.

lyrics

Buca
====

From your mouth
Invisible clown lips move
One and the same
The restaurant and his stage name

Beppo, Beppo...
Beppo___

Glimpse the obsession
Then hide the regression
There are already plans in place
In the basement

Innocent eater
At lunch from his job
I am witness to the horror
A hit from an imagined mob

From his mouth
Soft words
Before the shouting began
He never even ran

Beppo, Beppo...
Beppo___

Blood, wine or tomato sauce,
No one can distinguish the three
You'd better have another drink
To look again and see
If what you think you saw
Was really what you thought you saw
And if it was all really true

("Raow")

Glimpse the aggression
That led to the transgression
All could see the plan taking place
In the basement

From their mouths
Lips shape the words
That cannot begin to tell
Just how far
This clown
Fell__
