Babies Are Born
03:48
|

^/sounds of baby laughter and song/^
Babies are born, babies are born
Cannot be wrong
Can it be right?
Don't look as strong
But just as well might
^^Keep you awake all night.^^
You have to dress them
Show them your love
You have to tell them:
You're not the only one.
You have religion
What does this mean when you abandon/abort
abandon/abort abandon/abort
Babies are born.
^/sound of baby crying and screaming/^
You have to dress them
Show them your love
You have to tell them:
You're not the only one.
You have religion
But what does this mean when you abandon/abort
abandon/abort abandon/abort
^^^/vocals harmonizing with half-step chromatic slides on G and D major/^^^

Comedians

Them comediums
they don't know their shit better than me
but there's one thing
they can do
Them comedians
they don't make you laugh harder than me
but there's one thing
they can do
They take it outside
To the crowd
Out of the ballrooms
Into the light
Them cumediums
they don't make you cum harder than me
Them comedians
They don't think you're hot.
/voices mashed up together/
You're used to remember
You used to remember how
To take it outside
To the crowd
Out of the ballrooms
Into the light
^It's how you move how you move when you move me round I guess^

Gentlemen in Lingerie

^/birds-fly sound at the end of intro/^
^^It's so hard to be
Live and then set free
They take away your wings
And say fly above.
I'm not sure what I can't take
So my heart won't break^^
Spilling blood on thee
And my gentlemen in lingerie^^
^/birds-fly sound before the second verse/^
^^You, do you really think you can taste
All these nuclear takes
just test one more smile
And then take some more.
It's a cool scene for an antichrist
as he can never turn his eyes
from the lovely toothpaste girl
And the boy next door^^
^/birds-fly sound before the chorus/^
^^Your eyes, they will bury me
Looks like now
I'm the enemy
So here I stand
Stuttering
Breaking out
Malfunctioning.^^

When you Shakespeare
I will Marlowe
When you Jules Verne
I'll Rice Burroughs

a) Knights
b) Rebellion Trap
c) Angels
^Knights are dead on the way to the grail^
An ominous preface to a pointless tale
No blues in the shadows
No swing in the gallows
Not through the words still
Swear as fear sets in
With every shiver of a shin
^^/entering basso lamento four step chromatic descent/^^
Heart was a black box recovered from a crush
It took them three years to decipher what went on inside they said I was struggling
I was struggling I was struggling so hard
Made them wonder how I kept my mind
How did he know it was gonna be alright
Caught up in this rebellion trap for so long
But it can wait
Trying to get to your happy camp for so long
But it can take
In the woods
in the gutter
there it lay
Not to be found again until God sent his angels
to roam the lands
But the angels were struggling
They were struggling so hard
He made them look for something so fard to find
Don't they know it's gonna be alright
Don't they know, don't they know
^^^that you only learn how to save love
when you lose it alltogether
You learn how to spell love
Don't you lose it
Keep it together^^^

Sooner or Later
04:31
|

Hold out your heart
It's not broken
inside
hold your hand
It's not spoken
for
She came into my life
so slow
She held out my hand
Like it was something
to hold
on before all comes to nothing
She came into my life
so slow
Now I can't let go
I must give in
I can't let go
^Sooner or later
Love's gonna get you
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Love is gone
Somehow I knew
It was gone^
Who do you think you are?

The Shunt
04:04
|

Depression
sneaks up on you
like a resurrection
to the damned
^When you least expect it
you're elected^
Your star's a black hole
Depression
You will live again.
I have found a way to make my ends meet
Followed myself back into that shunt.
Come back baby
Come back baby
I wanna kiss the cross
I wanna ^^kiss his open sores^^
I wanna praise the Lord
I wanna praise him on the source
I wanna praise the Lord my only saviour Jesus Christ.

^All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
California dreaming on such a winter's day^
All the way and back
Just to see my baby dressed in black.
^All the leaves are brown and the sky is blue
California dreaming such a way from you^
All the way and back
Just to see my baby dressed in black.
^^They say I was born it was a fantastic accident
I fell on the floor
My mother right next to me
The doctor was alarmed
It was the middle of the night
When he came up
I was already.^^
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
California dreaming on such a winter's day^
All the way.
^^^It won't do any good
Won't any good
Won't do any good to my one chrome song.^^^

^/drumbeat loop/^
^^/jewsharp drone/^^
^^^/guitar lead/^^^
It’s not the clothes you’re wearing
Not the posts you’re sharing
Not the words you’re shouting
Not the songs you’re writing
Nothing in the way you
Listen to or play it
Not about the fighting
It’s all about the love that you are giving
You’ve been given
You are given
You’re forgiven.
Endless days
Sleepless nights
Feeling
Shame
Feeling
Right.
^^^^second time around first verse sang in hopeful, forgiving, harmonious manner^^^^
——————————————
^The beat is reproduced to resemble the one played by Mladi Vlado on Tom Violence’s ‘Zero Hour’ (MyRoomRecords, 1996) or Milan Bukejlović on Petrol’s 'Sve jedno je’ (Odličan hrčak, 2007)
^^Open Source BBC Sound Effects (http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/)
^^^Guitar part similar to Tom Violence’s ‘Zero Hour’ (MyRoomRecords, 1996)
^^^^With respect to the ‘Finale’ of the Ninth Simphony by Ludwig Van Beethoven and the switch from the dread of baroque chromatic ostinato to ‘Ode to Joy’
/credits + notes/ Some old song parts here. But everything else anew. Half-of-us-here-love-Jesus-kinda-thing. Noise guitars by Neven and LMB. Drums played and looped by Brane. Nara on bass, Brane on percussion.
