Steam Powered Giraffe - Honeybee Lyrics






You didn't have to look my way
Your eyes still haunt me to this day
But you did. Yes, you did

You didn't have to say my name
Ignite my circuits and start a flame
But you did

Oh, Turpentine erase me whole
('Cause I) don't want to live my life alone
(Well I) was waiting for you all my life
Oh
Why

Set me free, my...honey-
Bee
Ho-ney
Bee

You didn't have to smile at me
Your grin's the sweetest that I've ever seen
But you did. Yes you did

You didn't have to offer your hand
'Cause since I've kissed it I am at your command
But you did

Oh, Turpentine erase me whole
I don't want to live my life alone
I was waiting for you all my life
Oh
Why

Set me free, my...honey-
Bee
Ho-ney
Bee

Hello Goodbye, Twas nice to know you
How I find myself without you
That I'll never know
I let myself go

Hello Goodbye, I'm rather crazy
And I never thought I was crazy
But what do I know?
Now you have to go

Hello Goodbye, Twas nice to know you
How I find myself without you
Hello Goodbye, I'm rather crazy
And I never thought I was crazy

That I'll never know.
I let myself go.
But what do I know?
Now you have to go.

  1. J.... S....

    What the fuck, how the hell can they look so animated yet real?! All I knew about these guys was that they didn't go to Dashcon which earned my respect.

  2. B.... M....

    the mask 4

  3. D.... S....

    So here I am a 57 year-old guy wondering what my 16 year-old daughter was listening to.. and I like it!

  4. A.... M....

    This song became the goodbye anthem to the seniors in my high school musical group. It’s after this song literally every guy in the room cries

  5. S.... R....

    i just want a dog......

  6. C.... B....

    I am back again 👍

  7. j.... ....

    This song is way prettier than I was expecting

  8. C.... S....

    8 years later and still in love with this song

  9. D.... B....

    Different but sounds good

  10. Y.... S....

    The song is ok I guess. The video itself is pretty damn well done.

  11. S.... ....

    So who's the one main vocalist here, and who's the suspenders one?

  12. T.... ....

    Anyone know exactly where in San Diego this was filmed?

  13. E.... V....

    First song I ever heard from this band. My oldest brother showed it to me years ago. Still one of my favorite songs. Still love the band too!

  14. M.... F....

    Very pretty song

  15. E.... F....

    even after all these years i still cry to this song

  16. K.... E....

    I would pay big money to see Slipknot kick these guys' arses in a bar fight.

  17. M.... G....

    This is just beautiful, so much talent.

  18. N.... y....

    Never seen or heard of these guys til now.
    VERY IMPRESSIVE VOCALS AND ARRANGEMENT!!
    I'm a convert!

  19. L.... A....

    "Rabbit." Ah shoot Fire Fire!

  20. s.... c....

    This song is a byproduct of American made Motorola mosfet
    This harmony sadly is not available any longer .the parts to repair certain models of droids have been discontinued. And China has bought the tooling. The new mosfet models are not the original Quality. Sadly :(


    This message is from
    Walter robotics
    Tech support.

  21. G.... ....

    So relaxing! Soothes the savage soul!

  22. M.... ....

    I remember when this video barley had a million views

  23. B.... M....

    this music is so gay

    B.... M....

    @Brandon Mcrorie it wasn't intended to make it less gay
    If you don't like it gtfo and listen to whatever you want to

    B.... M....

    @Mysterious Regality ok im sorry

    B.... M....

    @Mysterious Regality that this music is homosexually transgender

    B.... M....

    @Brandon Mcrorie well I'm sorry that you are an intolerable asswipe

  24. h.... h....

    This really is a truly beautiful song

  25. c.... ....

    I found this song- probably in 2018? I played it when I was on the bus to school every day. I just now remembered the song. It's so good and just puts a good feeling in my chest.

  26. K.... R....

    You made me cry at work, assholes


    5 stars, amazing

  27. J.... H....

    Why this was in my suggestions I will never know. But I'm glad it was. I am on a deep dive listening to all their music now.

  28. C.... S....

    The harmony reminds me of Queen. That’s high praise.

  29. M.... m....

    eight years since this came out, and i still listen to it all the time, without fail.

  30. B.... I....

    Who else is here from ATF?

  31. B.... D....

    RIP KOBE. WE LOVE YOU. K824

  32. B.... s....

    and they say white people dont have culture

  33. J.... J....

    One Of My All Time Favorites From This Band

  34. S.... M....

    how awkward would this be to just stumble across one day at the beach

  35. J.... R....

    I miss you... ❤

  36. P.... ....

    SUNSET CLIFFS, CALIFORNIA BABY

  37. S.... G....

    i uhm might have memorized all of rabbits movements so i can do it now and i do the "you didnt have to smile at me" part with out thinking about it sometimes....

  38. G.... R....

    So much more Robin when your eyes are dilated. D you cant see shhit

  39. m.... s....

    Whenever I see these guys I always watch the full video, I just enjoy them!

  40. T.... D....

    This will be played for my wife at my funeral

  41. B.... H....

    Never heard or seen this group before.. but this is a great song.

  42. M.... L....

    Played this at my wedding... but a year later I had to set my Honeybee free...hello goodbye it was nice to know you, how I find myself without you...that I do now know 💔🐝

    But its okay. Ill find another honeybee

    M.... L....

    A year later lol... Pathetic. Should never let the state manage your love life. Divorce is a billion dollar a year industry you know..

    M.... L....

    @Chocolate Tampon their honeybee may have passed away :/

  43. y.... ....

    Very underrated group,

  44. d.... 6....

    Oh I'm at this part of the internet again.

  45. P.... ....

    I think they need some oil.

  46. W.... E....

    OK...googled these folks...the singer is Rabbit...but Rabbit is a woman? Im confused. Who is the singer?

    W.... E....

    Rabbit is trans. This is before her transition. If you watch I'll Rust With You, the singer is also Rabbit, post transitioning.

  47. L.... O....

    so this is what the weirdos at lunch watch

  48. M.... ....

    I feel like this is pretty. odd. and discovery's Child (panic at the disco, daft punk)

  49. B.... B....

    I discovered SPG back in 2015 when I fell asleep listening to Amanda Palmer on Spotify. When I woke up in the middle of the night, Spotify had transitioned to Amanda Palmer radio, and Honeybee was playing. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the night listening to everything they had released up to that point. I love seeing how people discover SPG.

  50. S.... h....

    absolutely gorgeous song

  51. P.... 9....

    I heard this song long ago, found this band by accident, listened to the first few seconds of this song and then went to Brass Goggles, I decided to try this song again and the memories came flooding back after 30 seconds in

  52. S.... Y....

    What beach was this shot at?

  53. S.... M....

    WHAT how have I not heard of them before

  54. L.... ....

    Positive nostalgia and the smoothest vocals you can ask for. Love it! 🦒

  55. C.... R....

    There is only ONE steam powered giraffe.

  56. R.... B....

    Just discovered this band. Weird. But fantastic. The vocals are amazing. Having been in choir in school and church, I can appreciate their vocal ranges. Simply amazing. And the lyrics....also fantastic. For awhile I thought Rabbit got replaced by some chick. Then I got it. Anyway, I have listened to Honeybee some 50 times. What a heartfelt song. Love these guys, girls.

  57. U.... A....

    Not the music genre I would expect from these band, ngl

  58. 3.... ....

    They recorded this video so their song would live on when we replace our holographic singers with androids

  59. D.... ....

    There’s lead there’s bass and there’s the guy that says I

  60. L.... M....

    This group is so talented with singing music ideas costumes and acting they are all out amazing

  61. k.... ....

    Thank you.

  62. S.... B....

    I'm listening to this song now that my bf went to basic training and I didn't know how much this song could hurt until now.

    This was our song

  63. K.... H....

    Accidentally discovered the band last night.   Have fallen head over hills in love with you guys.   So good.

  64. T.... T....

    Very artful and creative video very sad but I can feel a good vibe concurrently. Cool name for a band.

  65. �.... ....

    who knew some robots could make me cry

  66. r.... p....

    Even in 2020 this song still hits me hard

  67. M.... B....

    Commit heart attack

  68. P.... ....

    03:37 bird

  69. B.... W....

    God, these guys are amazing! They move exactly like robots, to jerky yet to smooth to be human. Heck, a few times while watching this I wasn't sure if it was the singers themselves or just really good CJI

  70. K.... N....

    Love their voices.

  71. s.... ....

    My girlfriend showed me this and now it reminds me of her forever.
    Love you, Jinny 💖💗

  72. m.... s....

    💛🎼🎵🎶💛😌

    m.... s....

    You said it

  73. A.... ....

    I think this is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.

  74. c.... ....

    😢 this reminds me of my cat 😭she died her name was iggy
    We made a grave with a stone, sang this song, and said bye 😔

  75. A.... ....

    Found out about them from an image board where people talked about their favorite bands, and when my initial "OMG SUCH UNIQUE MAKEUP AND CONCEPT" calmed down I had so many questions..

    -How do they tour when shows are hours long and the makeup can get smudged and messy? Are they characters with personalities and answer questions in interviews according to that?

  76. S.... A....

    Is there anyone here in 2020 still hardcore crushing on spine and crying over this song and absolutely ecstatic for their new song? Cuz hi there. Same.

  77. p.... ....

    this was in my recommendeds and now im crying

  78. D.... D....

    If there is ever a purge, I now know who I'm hunting down

  79. J.... K....

    This song is truly wholesome :)

  80. G.... S....

    Wow! Thank you

  81. L.... M....

    What kind of weird emo geek 20s guy is this

  82. L.... M....

    Who else thought this was CGI at first?

  83. P.... P....

    Wow! New fan here! 🏆👍🏻

  84. S.... F....

    Nice music.

  85. f.... ....

    Need drugs for this

  86. W.... R....

    Okay! Love the harmony! Very well done! 👍🌹

  87. G.... M....

    If I had to chose one song to hear for the rest of my life, this would be it. Its entertaining, soothing, brilliant and stuck in my brain.

  88. E.... G....

    *S U S P E N D E R S*

  89. J.... z....

    Me and my boyfriend found this song on utube we were kind of mesmerized by it. I would consider it our song now.

  90. R.... B....

    3 am mushrooms why am I here now

  91. J.... A....

    Good harmony, and stage presence

  92. A.... R....

    The first time I saw this I thought it was animated.

  93. o.... r....

  94. D.... A....

    The evolutionary end product of the Sons of the Pioneers.
    Very cool
