"The recordings present a unique musical vision, with Xander Singh and Luc Laurent displaying an impressive mastery of their twisted but tasty pop...A treat-filled introduction to a duo unafraid to pound around on a variety of instruments such as trumpet, banjo, and piano...Singh and Laurent seamlessly blend their influences into a unified sound."

Dance Card
Pepper Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and I
We never seem to work that hard
You and your golden rising stairs
You and your best friends
But who cares?
Take me off of the back wall
Dress me up walk me down the hall
You and your best friend my who cares?
I tried to remind you of the broke stairs
You fell down I left you lying there
How am I on your card?
You and I
We never seem to work that hard
The lyrics of Pepper Rabbit's song Dance Card seem to be about the singer's relationship with someone who is more popular and put-together than they are. The first line, "How am I on your dance card?", is a metaphor for their place in this person's life: are they important enough to be included in their plans, or are they just an afterthought? The singer notes that they and this person "never seem to work that hard", implying that the relationship is somewhat one-sided or that they are not putting in equal effort.
The second verse further highlights the difference in social status between the two, with the person of interest represented by "golden rising stairs" and "best friends". The singer asks to be taken "off of the back wall", which could mean they feel left out or ignored in social situations. They continue to plead for attention, asking to be "dressed up" and "walked down the hall".
However, there is a moment of tension in the third verse when the singer reminds their companion of "the broke stairs", perhaps to remind them of a time when they were not so perfect or to criticize them for neglecting something important. The verse ends with the same question as before: "how am I on your card?" The final line, "we never seem to work that hard", echoes the first and suggests that this relationship may never be equal or fulfilling for the singer.
