01. Masquerade
(Smith/Burns/Hanley, S/Nagle)
3:53
This is new [barely audibe tape of Brix speaking]
And what is that branch?
What branch is it?
Account is altered
And nine year olds
Walk around
In debt record
Account is altered
The grim visage
Account is delta
All yours
The web descends
Look to your grey hairs
And back your horses
About a week
A special allowance
Ran out yesterday
The Masquerah..
The Masquerade
The Masqueraderie
Like a fish dish
The grim visage
Altered again
And again
The fifty percent interest
Ran out today
Account altered
In succour
All granted
Knew your desperate comrades
Evaporated
And what is that branch?
What branch is it?
That has the pipe
Of Aluminium
Sprawling underneath it?
You rich pig
What the hell's it?
The Masquerah..
The Masquerade
The Masqueraderie
The web descends
Look to your grey hairs
And back you horses
About a week
A special allowance
Ran out yesterday
The Masquerah..
The Masquerade
The Masqueraderie
Like a fish dish
The grim visage
Altered again
And again
The fifty percent interest
Ran out today
In Bolton
In succour
All granted
Knew you
02. Ivanhoe's Two Pence
(Smith/Burns/Hanley, S/Nagle)
4:07
(My name is Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe? There was a time when I used to know a boy called Ivanhoe
That was many years ago. A fine lad.
Are you speaking of Ivanhoe the Norman?
That's the one, yes.)
Dropped some money down there
And it's only two pence
If you are a light and dark knight
How can you turn from your happy plight
You cannot feel
Look there doctor
Any time of night
Any time of day
And you disown
One thousand three hundred and four
Two pence
It's only
Two pence
In the gut of Mammon
You used patient's credit card
To steal one billion
How can I return
In happy plight
When I'm debarred
The benefit of rest [1]
And look over
It's only two pence
It's only
Two pence
Get from
Got yourself
Former
Got yourself into the former battle
The happy passes
And the standing cup fills
You dropped some money down there
You could pay to
Smitten in two
You used patient's credit card
To steal one thousand three one million credit
Ivanhoe
You little
It's only two pence
Note: [1] Shakespeare's sonnet 28 contains the lines: How can I then return in happy plight, that am debarred the benefit of rest.

04. 10 Houses Of Eve (remix)
(Smith/Nagle)
3:42
Can you see the ten houses of Eve?
And can you enter the ten houses of Eve?
And will you deny your own treat?
Dare you enter the ten houses of Eve?
Turn around and face the ten houses of Eve
If only
Identity art
If only the shards would relocate back in place
In your blue green and grey heart
For
Bedecked in lace
If only thoust could
In a rap sort of style
Understand
Will those shards relocate
If only...
Can you dig the ten houses of Eve?
Turn around and look at the ten houses of Eve
And will blood flow 'til you see
Do you believe you can enter the houses of Eve
Wake up and see
..., yeah
Do you believe?
The ten houses of Eve
05. Calendar
(Smith/Gough)
1:44
Hey - don't you want - to be caught
Hey - don't you want - to be caught
Unbrainwash - today
October - gives way - to Christmas
January...
Calendar
What gets in the way
It was a very - good - month - last week
What gets in the way
Your mirrors are dissolving today
The last - three weeks -
were the great month of February
Calendar
06. Scareball
(Smith/Burns/Hanley, S/Nagle)
2:56
[bah bah-ing]
Hold that jinx
Back like a rabbit to the hutch
Scareball
Never heard a story quite so tall before
Scareball
This story started small
Hold that bag
The impression of langour
You have bound my heart
With an impression of practices
You're a scareball
Sheets up on face
In dreams
It includes your nose
Blowing with a handkerchief
Read about chinese business practices
You have bound your heart
With a impression of langour
Cold cold cold bar
Open special
Shrimp surround
East to us
Andrew his life is remote
Code owe you overload
In passion inference
You cannot express
Et al
Et al
You're a scareball
Scareball, scareball
Bah bah bah
Round it up x 2
