01. Popcorn Double Feature
(English/Weiss)
3:43
Everybody's going through changes
Everybody's got a bag of his own
Everybody's talking about places
That can only be found in the greater unknown
People are dying
The babies are crying
Don't nobody care at all?
There's love and disaster
And good things come after
Just follow the paths along
Popcorn double feature
The whole world's a funny farm
That man is your teacher
No need to be alarmed
Music's coming out of the woodwork
Sounds so strange, nobody sleeps
I met a little man on the corner
Waving a flag and making a speech
Coffee each morning
Don't park or, nor warning
They tow your machine away
There's so much confusion
That's built on illusion
What's making the music play?
Popcorn double feature
The whole world's a funny farm
That man is your teacher
No need to be alarmed
NOT MUCH
Coffee each morning
No popcorn a-warning
They tow your machine away
There's love and disaster
But good things come after
What's making the music play

02. Butterflies 4 Brains
(Smith/Scanlon/Wolstencroft/Hanley, S)
4:16
Got a reason to live, got a reason
For brains, butterflies for brains
That's it
Whizz bang butterflies for brains
She's got
Whizz bang butterflies for brains
Would walk ten country miles
In a fat person's moccasin
Butterflies for brains
It comes, ....
Has got, ....
The four of us are dying
I'm very concerned about school buildings
Got a reason to live, got black-cloud aura
She's got....
Here it is....
That's it....
03. Zandra
(Smith/Beddington)
2:49
Zandra
C'mon c'mon c'mon just pack it in
Zandra
Give it up Zandra
Everybody you love
Is covered in loot
The world is [Old Nick/monodic]
It is not your oyster
You cannot collate it
So give up that dope shit
Hello Zandra
From the planet Redundra
I'm stressed out
I'm talked out
04. Arms Control Poseur
(Smith/Scanlon/Wolstencroft)
5:04
Death of a sense of humour
'N death of sense
How do you recover from this?
What do you fear?
Being found out
Then why do you always give yourself away?
What do you want to do?
Hide
Then why go out and make an exhibition of yourself?
What do you seek?
Oblivion
And drugs off the streets
What you want to be able to do
is worst advice
Louts give it in largesse
Arms control
Arms control poseur
Arms control
Parliment connives a diseased access company
There's nothing much I can do about this
So I drink and recline with an acquaintance, sound
Spouse is talking on the phone
To well-armed armed control poseur
Arms control poseur
I found my home
I made a calendar that wasn't there
To find whether it was the first of December
Or not
Armed control poseur
In pity and envy
Dragged from the streets
I quite very very much enjoyed
His jovial lies
Lying
Arms control poseur
Arms control poseur
Arms control poseur
Sports car interior
Encrusted with bluebottles
Armoured car interior
Encrusted with bluebottles
I even stoop to an icy vodka
As I feel the inevitable
battle creep nearer and nearer
Chip! Chip!

Armed control poseur
As my great great great great great
great great great great
familiar found out
As my great great great great
similar found out
As my great great great great great
great great grandfather found out

Get me a nice wooly polo neck
With a red cardigan

Ideal summer wear!
