DISC 1
The Terrible Two (1:46) 1993
We're gonna drive you ??? through Canada
I'm not supposed to tell you
Up to the top girl, I'm focused in my development
I'm not supposed to tell you
Don't leave any notes for Birgit
She don't have to know
One foolish life in the snow
I've got tickets to the circus of delirium
I'm not supposed to tell you
Complements of the fabulous freebird
I'm not supposed to tell you
Don't leave any clues for Betsy
She don't have to look
One silly page in the book
Take the time to stumble
Show them faith in something larger in your life
Don't leave any clouds(?) for Carol
She shouldn't have to cry
Where is the spark in your eye?
This is the day that we fly
Don't waste your time on goodbye
Bloodbeast (1:01) 1993
Bloodbeast enters heaven
The battle has begun
Put him on the guestlist
Bloodbeast plus one
In the garden bloodbeast
chewing apple gum
Only wants a good time
Should we let him come?
He wants to be
You're good to your baby
I think that you should never ever leave him alone
The Kissing Life (2:43) 1998
Taking it all in stride
But I'm surprised
???????????? pride
Unrecognised
And I adore, I adore the kissing life
May I sling for ??? chain
I feel your pain
tactless black wall
a rattlers cage
when will you fall
it will escape
la la la la
Bottoms Up! (You Fantastic Bastard) (3:23) 1993
It's time to kiss the genius
It's time to break the spell
There's a one out of three chance
There's a pleasure banging my bell
I'm in the soft pink luxury tunnel
??? big time evil grip
There's a clown crazed ???
Sugar I got the whip
I've got a pocket full of friggin' loose change
I've got a stick shift booby trap
I wanna push it too far
I wanna re-route your map
Fantastic moments of grandeur
Ironic seasons of crust
I'm with the disco police
You're getting back on the bus...
Tear It Out (4:27) 1988
You must have had a lot of time to eat your cake
Don't you think you can have it now?
You must have felt a thousand highs and each was kind
Don't you think you can stare me down?
I challenge you to drink the milk you spilled
A heart in hope will fall apart when willed
You must have had a dream or two and satisfied
Don't you think you can conjure them?
You must have had a million guys to show you pain
Don't you think you could shake their hands
I challenge you to figure out the truth
A picture and a spoiling wasted youth
Tear it out, there must be three of us
Show me how you know it can't be
Finding out our love was none of us
Show me how it's so
You can't be strong
But you're always right
No you can't be strong
But you're always right
Cinnamon Flavoured Skulls (:35) 1993
Have you ever had that fresh clean breath?
Empty fresh and better ??? crush
Get them hot ???

Bunco Men (2:22) 1995
When the instant city bleeds
the old stones will shift
and the brides will tell
of an empire of grain
that went to the rats
they'll remember well
I've got a thing or two
I wanna give to you again
I see a real baby blue
not yet glued to you again
come on down
emitting dimensions are swallowing you
I picked a room with a view
under the stars
good men how do you wait
like factory ham
on an inchworm train?
bad men how will you steal
another good day
with an episode of pain?
I've got a thing or two
I wanna give to you again
I've seen a real baby blue
not yet glued to you again
come on down
emitting dimensions are swallowing you
I picked a room with a view
under the bushes
Bad And Rare (1:04) 1992
Bad and rare
Done your own hair
All that lovely money
Makes me want to stare
??? and doctor
Very good talker
Excellence makes you bad and rare
That's not fair
More than a monkey
Or an average bear
All that lovely money
Makes us bad and rare
We like that...
Dorothy's A Planet (2:15) 1991
(No more moon missions - it's time for Dorothy's a planet...)
True the summer's gone to flake
And all the sugar cane to cake
And de-activate your precious gun
Expose your efforts
Every golden world is baked
She's a person fast at play
Now she's a planet on display
Then revolving like a halo
She say's hello world
Did you make sense of it today?
'Cuz it's OK
Because you're always on my mind
Now you're always on my mind
And I find myself just wasting all my time
With the kind
You supply my mind with pollution
Yeah supply my mind with pollution
Pluto The Skate (1:16) 1992

Is everybody happy now? (x7)
Let's Go Vike (2:38) 1989
Let's go vike
Let's go vike
I gotta (played/blade?) alibi (x4)
A man in a gripped(?) white suit
??? when you fly by
I'm not gonna talk to your feet
My single mind's outta ???
Big and strong like me
A couple more Jack's
And there ain't no skull
Cupid could be like me!
Find me a woman!
Let's go vike etc
Sabotage (4:26) 1990
I never ever hear you say
I remember when we used to love
You did me wrong, baby
I have you now
It's sabotage
You know it's the work I love
She tried to take me to her world
I don't know why you tell me now
If this is everything you loved
It's sabotage
Baby that's the worst kind of love
Well sabotage is a thing I've thought about
Your sabotage is a thing I want to know
I don't wanna see you
I just don't wanna see you baby
I have a lot of things to say
You don't want to tell me now
It's sabotage
I have a lot for you
It's sabotage
I gotta lot for you
You know what I'm talking about
You heard a lot of people talking about you baby
You heard a lot of people talking about you baby
Sabotage
Yeah that's sabotage
You told me lies baby
??? words are going round
It's happy when I'm up
You hurt me when I'm down
It's sabotage
We got a lot of words are going round
(Play that sad blues song good for me maestro)
(Blood curdling howl)
Ooh, sabotage, sabotage, sabotage, sabotage...
Pink Drink (3:09) 1995
I saw you yesterday
Looked like you were running away
You seemed so uneasy
That's not the way to please me
We gotta go to the harm tonight
We gotta get our minds alright
Doesn't hurt to have a taste
Haven't got a life to waste
With pink drink
We bear witness to the sound
Gotta lotta points to sell
Closer up than anyone can tell
With pink drink it's much better
And so much more fun
Who's gonna pull the magic string
Sitting on the throne of the lonely king
And it's not who we blow
But who we blow off
That smooths our heads in a pink cloud
The world's so stiff in its usual form
But our spin shakes like a tube in a storm, yeah
James Riot (2:47) 1998
My name is James
James Riot is who I am
I am the rock
Of the fancified world I am
I store the answers of my game
Sharpens my pick and cramp
I am the bastard
Naked before the bitch
I am the beast
under wrap on the frazzled spit
Know you ??? mind your mark
I'll see you writhe and twitch
I am up against the wall
????
Courage in the clothes we bought
This is where the next show falls
????????
??????
?????
????
I'll meet you after television
It's Easy (:46) 1984
Say oops I missed on LSD
With the figures of conspiracy
Crawling up to you
It's easy
To make a point and prove a point
It's all that you can do
It's easy
It's easy, easy
Dank Star Ground Control (2:23) 1993
In a meeting
On a star
On a dark star
On a derelict star
I was the unhappy soul, blew away
To discuss the plan
To dance the rain dance
As it's raining all over the world
In a dream
Was a clown
Going down
I was the unhappy soul, flew away
And you were the idiot
Turning in helicopters
Listening to every bad joke
Rising with each cloud of smoke
And it's burning all over the world
Burning all over the world...
In a dream
Was a clown
Spring Tigers (2:07) 1992
In the morning
She calls for time
But not too quick
A factory moment
But not to climb the six ???
oh oh...
In the evening
She crosses lines
With smacking lips
Round each cosy corner
Tiger rhymes between each sip
oh oh...
If you chance to break your neck
Upon the slippery what the heck
The older boys will stand in line
And break their necks all the time
oh oh...
And so take another drink
Everybody please stand back
And pray godspeed and dare to move
La la la lo lo lo
Oh oh...
Gurgling, gurgling all the way home
Born On Seaweed (2:10) 2000
Wait patiently and suddenly see
Motivation that cries out
Mutilation of the senses
Finish your sentence
Taste the bones before chewing
Shout out a point
And then step back
And look out
It's not exciting is it?
He's a prick
And owns a fortress
Born on horniness
Born at time change
Born on seaweed
Forgot his origins
So wait patiently and see
Motivation that cries out
Flesh Ears From June (1:58) 1992
Oh we don't know what's out there
But still wave to be seen
Oh so slow, closetting on chaos
Sketching truths to believe
But no, no don't you ever hurt us
We are small, we are sweet
And you know you can not desert us
For our lives aren't complete
Peter follow your footsteps
Pretend to know the answer
We embrace you and tame you
So everything is well
Without there being hell to pay
No ugly buildings in the way
And lovely skies are here to stay
Driving In The US OF A (1:53) 1992
Motor spinning(?) of course we get carried away
We're trying different things
Variety in society
Driving in the US of A
I love it(?)
In a courtesy car
Each boy and girl
And American star gets carried away
See what happens
When you get into it
Some people gotta hear these things
A fast car makes you want to get out and do things
In the US of A
Driving in the US of A
???????
???? my invention
Driving in the US of A
My Big Day (Three Versions)(1:19/1:58/2:35) 1990
I stole the fleece from the grasp of the beast
Now I will rest in peace, yeah I will rest in peace
And it's my big day
It's my big day
I peeled the skin from the fruit of good men
Waging war over sin, yeah I'd do it all again
On my big day
On my big day
*Written in Blood passed down through ages
*A song for any fool to play
*On his big day
*Boys will be boys making all kinds of noise
*With the dangerous toys
*I keep my poise
*'Cuz it's my big day
*Oh it's my big day
*Kings versus kings but it don't mean a thing
*It's a serious thing(?)
*When a straight pack ???
*On my big day
* Oh it's my big day
It's my day
It's my day
It's my day
It's my day
Don't you try to spoil it
I'm a firebreathing dragon
Don't you try to stop me
I'm a hi-tech paddy wagon
(*watch me off the ground with nothing draggin')
And here I go
Smooth sailing
From here on out
(*lyrics for version three)
Have It Again (:58) 1991
Experienced heirs, funny old men
Gave up their shares to have it again
They want to have it again
What would you give to be 9 or 10 again?
Back to the dealer, what were the plans?
Funny old men, sitting on their hands
Waiting, they want to have it again
What would you give to be 19 or 20 again?
What would you give to be 49 or 50 again?
Little Jimmy The Giant (1:51) 1975
It started in 7th grade when they held me back
they said I was way too small to offend attack
When I get my boots on baby
They'll see that I'm not so small
My little gold fills and chains(?) make me feel like I'm ten feet tall
I'm little Jimmy the giant
And then in the ???
They said I was way too small to defend attack
When I get my boots on etc.
I walk around
I know the way
I make a sound
I'm ten feet tall
I'm ten feet tall
I'm ten feet tall
When I get my boots on etc.
Taco, Buffalo, Birddog and Jesus (3:22) 1989
Taco, Buffalo, Birddog and Jesus
Taking the ??? to see
??? guidebook
The hairiest thing we'd agree
They'd been driving a pickup from Plymouth
??? holes in his jeans
As they whistled the spirits above them
The circus matures beneath(?)
Irrepressable ??? of peoples
???the others he knows
But the ones who ??? nice people
Into the black smoking hole
Nobody opens his eyes
It's hard to look up in the sun
And so ??? shove them along
In the cross ??? apple
Something will carry us a long
Takes a hell of a ??? sunday
And stays till the boat swings along
Nobody opens his eyes
It's hard to look up to the sun
And so ???
Beyond the bars and ??? of mid-western factory towns
People ???
Some of us think it odd that a large percentage of bona-fide miracles were witnessed today
But I've seen Taco take a big long drag off his self whittled pipe and sit back and laugh
Rednecks hugging and buying each other drinks
And then Jesus blows the clouds away with one puff
Crawls back into his cage and goes to sleep
Ding Dong Daddy (Is Back From The Bank) (:37) 1993
Carry the spice maps
Carry the star
??? don't show you
The opening is itself
Ding dong Daddy is back from the bank
Merit burn she pleads
Steals money
It's hard to quieten the list(?) the night
The secret it has
The forces of the pussycat wait for you
Alright!
Yeah!
DISC 2
Supermarket The Moon (2:10) 1993
Tonight the doubt will leave your eyes
And then you'll finally realise
That all along you knew
The dark skies are still blue
And when you turn the monitor on
You will understand why it's gone
It's always gone too soon
We'll supermarket the moon
And feed you with a spoon
So you won't leave too soon
Hold On To Yesterday (3:18) 1983
Hold on to yesterday

Oh go on, I want you
(Come back baby to me)
Hold on to yesterday...
Ha Ha Man (1:18) 1993
His merchandise is sublime
But don't laugh at the ha ha man
While you were gawking
I was talking and squawking with the ha ha man
So now I think that breakfast is the plan
Are you coming with the ha ha man?
Ha ha man
Ha ha man
Ha ha man
Ha ha man
Alright let's try that one again...
Our Value Of Luxury (2:58) 1992
These men came down from heaven
Come here to tell you something
You stomped on rotting floorboards
Your world's an inaccurate graphic
Our value of luxury
Allows us to believe we are free
Our value of luxury
Allows us to believe we are free
That's OK we've got airplanes
Silos in mirrored highways
Your earmarked for collision
With frozen opposition
Bughouse (2 Versions) (1:48/1:51) 1995
Sugary Jane cakes lace (?)
Her hair smells nice
First one is the worst one sometimes twice
Are you careful?
Are you in the mood?
Sugary Jane is sweet like baby food
I won't flame you
I can't blame you yet
But when you crave it
I'll say that's all you get
Knives are sharpened by fidgety hearts
Fidgety hearts are foaming like sweet tarts
*??? mosquitoes on the dough (?)
*Pull the plug and watch the party go
Rainbow Billy (1:40) 1992

Rainbow, rainbow Billy
What you gonna do?
Shrine To The Dynamic Years (Athens Time Change Riots) (1:55) 1998
The mood of the courtroom was gloomy

On Short Wave (2:47) 1991
I often said my my problems with too much to say
Good things flow
The way to cover topics God's forgot about
Life beams low
On short wave
On short wave
The only real memory I'll ever have
In unrealistic boyhoods we made no mistakes
In what we chose
The mosses green on slippery black rocks we would break
Far too close
To short wave
To short wave
I have survived the acid test to reach you
I'm never sightless to the outstretch of your arms
Wearing it's disguise in exiting the idols blight controlling
All encompassing cajoling
Wear our wings of no bird (?)
You have your rainbow waiting
On short wave
On short wave
The only real memory I'll ever have
I Can See It In Your Eyes (2:11) 1989
There's a hundred sounds around me
But only one thing I don't wanna hear
I know you don't wanna hurt me
But backs are backs so spare me the fear
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
Time for you to desert me now
But I don't want you to go
So now did you love me?
It was alright when you loved me
It was alright the last time you left
And I'll get over it just as easily
With the kind of time to figure out what you expect
Tobacco's Last Stand (1:41) 1992
I heard you what the problem is
I didn't hear you both
You're coming through
Like weird electric jive
Bumming your role
I'm playing your role
Will you love me come Saturday?
Yeah I know it's too hard to plan it
And will the attachment stay attached?
Until destroyed by a match
Watch it burn a light in the night
Watch it burn a light in the night
Fire cleanses a soul
Fire cleanses a spirit
But I don't wanna hear it
Through a box with wires
I wanna taste it with my own two eyes
Burn baby burn
Burn baby burn baby burn baby burn
Shifting Swift Is A Lift (2:15) 1992

I know it gets so hard to choose
I'll be the one to break the news
Tell you what I'll do
I'll leave it up to you
The Fool Ticket (2:23) 1992
Won't accept the coat and ring

A change another mob (?) threw through the window

I'm Cold (2:40) 1987
I go outside and it's cold
I walk downtown and it's cold
I do everything that I'm told
The people I meet, so hooked on defeat
And if it's not one thing then it's ten
I shouldn't have to be told
So I just keep moving around
'Cause I'm cold
I picked up the pieces that break
And try not to make a mistake
and sometimes I'm sick when I wake
I jump in my car and go to a bar
Because it's so much warmer in there
For my decrepit soul
Then I get back to moving around
'Cause I'm cold
All wound up
All broken down
Animal person
Carnival clown
The only thing that hurts
Is knowing it gets worse
As it goes
I work every day 'til I'm tired
Emotionally uninspired
And some think I'll maybe get fired
But what else is new
You do what you do
Because you're told to
It's something of which I'm really not yet quite sold
But it must just be a problem with me
'Cause I'm cold
Damn Good Mr. Jam (2:40) 1992
Damn good Mr. Jam
Hoping to be the pig I am
The pig I've always been
The pig I wanna be
Subscribe to my church
I'm damn good Mr. Jam
I'm damn good Mr. Jam
Phyllis the pretty Philadelphian
Anybody can get nothing free
Trained her monkey boy
Tripped over luggage for her money
Made out of money
Made out of money
Money man
Slippery man
Tasted man
Anything for free...
In Walked The Moon (4:05) 1988
Everything we said we said in fun
I cannot believe she'd come undone
She was the happiest girl I'd ever seen
Said she didn't need left on her own
followed me to some place all alone
She was the scrappiest girl I'd ever seen
So then in walked the moon
And I knew that soon
I would have to tell the truth
Talked so fast she stopped me
And then in came the song
That the night sings when it's wrong
We'd like to stick around
Needless to say she stopped me
Summer came, just the same
We became tired and lazy
Now it's gone though I tried
She became wild and crazy
I know why
I know why
If you look in the past
She was into her own thing
Turn around in my arms
Now she's gone and I'm longing
I know why
I know why
Everything we said we said in fun
I cannot believe she'd come undone
She was the happiest girl that I'd ever seen
So then in walked the moon
And I knew that soon
I would have to tell the truth
Talked so fast she stopped me
And then in came the song
That the night sings when it's wrong
Would have liked to stick around
Needless to say she stopped me
There is this place that I know
Far from this unforgiving glow
There is this place that I know
Far from this unforgiving glow
There is this place that I know
Far from this unforgiving glow
There is this place that I know
Far from this unforgiving glow
DISC 3
Long Way To Run (1:36) 1987
???
Looking back on situations I've been through
guessing games for me are certainly no fun???
Round the outside it's a long way to run
Each man who knows you
Has a lot to show you
Works hard just to keep you
Out of the lake
Where no one can take you away
New expression to keep me on my toes
Real good service has centrifugal force
Something about you keeps me hanging around
Something else just keeps on bringing me down
Each man who knows you
Has a lot to show you
Works hard just to keep you
Side of the lake

A Kind Of Love (2:50) 1984
There's a kind of love
And it won't be long

There's a world outside with a different view
And it's obvious that it's just for you

But it won't take long for me
There's a kind of love
But it won't take long for me

There's a kind of love
But it takes too long for me

When our worlds collide?
I'm never in your problems
You've never really been in mine
??? we can dish it out or we can take it

Coming back to you
Living in your lonely dreams
Look you know it's true
And I will be endlessly heeding (?)
Contests for colourful careers
Not so befitting as they make them seem
Octane for the ammunition truce

Here at the time when the mission kicks the tribe
The commission takes the bribe
And I will be endlessly moving (?) now

Threw it in the fire
Came back looking better than ever
Came back in a tight blue sweater

One of these days when I write

We're just babies
Strong words and big black birds
On a telephone wire
She says ah look over there
There's a car on fire
Cocaine Jane (:51) 1980

Once in a while
I lose my desire to stand up for the fight
Did you notice that
When we were walking down the street
I didn't look
At all the people passing by
So happy and content
With the ones who run their lives
Did you notice that
We don't notice what's real
We look away
From all the plans that we have
It's getting hard to see
There's so much in the way
Now I know it's not so impossible
Now I know we can go
Back to where we were
We're back to where we'll be

Right on the tip of my nose
They wait like cats and fly out
For the light in my eyes to die out

A neccessary evil I suppose
There's something in this deal for everyone
Did you really think you were the only one?

My Feet's Trustworthy Existance (2:28) 1992
Can this illusion be a lie?
Shaped to perfection just to suit you
???
There where the angels come to greet you
Notify the minister right now
Man beast and his probe have cut down the sacred cow
And maintain a puritan state of mind
Came through close encounters of a very different kind
They learn what's instructed them
They eat what is cooked for them
They stay in their houses if they want to
Live a wasted life
Sometimes the wind can blow us on
Silence and sorrow when the weight's off
No longer smothering the skin
No further torturing the soft heart
Other times ??? just gotta run
Feet must know happiness
And hands must have fun
This is why I trust where they must go
Anywhere is lovely when I rub my magic toe
And drink from a bottle
And think of another song
And make it sound nice
'Cause I don't want to
Live a wasted life...
Eggs (3:23) 1989

Wondering Boy Poet (1:05) 1993
Dream on child of change
Throw your javelin through the sun

For a chance to have it filled
Flowing just like the days
Sailing just like the days...
Oh Blinky (2:18) 1989
Now turn tonight
The day is done
And it is good and it is fun

And I'm a man

But it is good and it is there
The day is done
the day is done
And it is good and it is fun...
