Default Accidental Babies

This is a cover song right? If so, who originally did it?

Well I don't know. I was just assuming it's not since it's not on the Lyrics page. I love that song though. It's really fitting in my life right now.

accidental babies was a 'secret' tune for a while; everyone knew it existed cause damien played it at a record store gig but he also asked people there to not trade it cause it'd spoil the surprise of hearing it on the next album or summin. but then time passed, no album, and he played it at other gigs too so... it's not that secret anymore.

never heard it (well, I only have heard 2 songs of damien's that aren't on "O")

The name seems to be a joke, or something very twisted . . . unsettling

^^ The title comes from the lyrics:

"But do you really feel alive without me?
If so, be free
If not, leave him for me
Before one of us has accidental babies"

Try the gig on Fabchannel.com if you're looking for new stuff, he plays Face anyway and probably a few others (can't really remember!)


But yeah I'm more or less 100% sure AB is original.

This is one of the few I have yet to hear, but I've read over it a dozen times now and may be my favorite lyrically. Does anyone have a copy they could send me, or where I can find it. Thanks in advance.
