not the red baron
not charlie brown
think i got the message figured
another pilot down
and are their devils with halos
in beautiful capes
taking them into the flames

not judy g
not jean jean with a hallowed
heart
i see that screen go
down in the flames
with every step with every beautiful heel
pointed

not the red baron i'm sure
not charlie brown's wonderful dog
not anyone i really know
just another pilot down
maybe i'll just sing him a last
little sound many there know some girls
with red ribbons
the prettiest
red
ribbons

"Then of course in the record we move into a whole other moment. Not the Red Baron is the moment of compassion for all the men on the record. It's where I could see their planes crashing, I could see that they have a side too. And if their planes would crash I stared to gain compassion for their side of it."
-- Tori; B Side, 05/96

"In fact, no demos were done for any of the songs on Pele. Basically, two or three songs on the album and many of the B-sides were written as you hear them there," says [Mark] Hawley, [Tori's husband and sound engineer]. "Marianne and Not the Red Baron - the first time she ever played them and the first time we ever heard them was the performance that you hear. The whole recording process was really special for that reason."
