01. Distilled Mug Art (Mix 15) (Smith/Blaney) 3:36  Lyrics

02.30
The god is going down now
Red cup growing on desk
Burnt on digital
Slow
More widening
02.19
Whilst the engineers
Trying to pick up bits left and top of screen
2.11
Whilst they are amusing themselves
Trying to make politicians or actors look funny or better
According to their present or ingrained past beliefs
2.06
Good idea for war history programme
Torn up bits of pictures of barbed wire
1.49
1.498
Distilled mug art
Digital distilled altered art
Distilled cut off screen
Digital'd by mugs
1.073
Distilling mugs alter top of heads and make them nasty-like
1.05
Put in a paper or CD cover
00.058
And give the folks mumps to order with their apple shape
0068
Distilled to order
Faces distilled to order
Digital mug art

02. I Wake Up In The City (Mix 5) (Smith/Blaney) 4:51  Lyrics

Turn the music up...

When I wake up in the city
I look around to see who's with me
And all the thoughts that pollute me
Canal and the gallery

How many of you are stable?
And the boxer with thief
The Deputy Collector is the Command in Chief-uh

I wake up in the city
I look around to see who's with me
A lonely cloud descended
The Bill and the bushes haven't grown

Don't keep laughing
Can you give a dog a bone?

Cough

Cough

When they give me breakfast
Politburo KGB
Maybe a Flight-Commander
Is curled up in a tree

And even Jesus had a tale
And General Custer was the same
That old dollar bill
Came out backwards in the machine

When I wake up in the city
I find I'm not around
I look at who's with me
All the thoughts that pollute me

I got glasses under my skin
I don't know how thin I been
I don't want Jesus to keep laughin'
I don't need no reason to keep laughin'

Even Jesus had a tale
And General Custer was the same
Now I'm the enemy of the city
And the dollar bill came out backwards
And you know it came out backwards
And the new euro it came out backwards
And the new euro it came out backwards
And the euro it came out backwards

[Radio recording:]

... at 9 to 11 year olds. So how do we cope with this?

I think it is, practically, I think you'll find across the country that some schools are delivering not just two hours but even more and it's very good quality and other schools are not delivering the amount of time that they should be. So now there should be an entitlement that every youngster must get that two hours of good quality. And I want an advancement in two different areas of not curriculum ... support

A youngster is given the chance.. by society ...

Okay, well, let me just say one more thing. We also have to recognize that for many youngsters, especially in their early teens...

[End of radio segment]

When I wake up in the city
I look around and see who's with me
All the thoughts that polluted them
It's the canal and the gallery

How many of you are sable?
How many of you are stable?
Sleep on the docks

The commander in chief
And the breaking of the chains
By the safe canal
By the gallery
By the fox cream boat
By the gallery
By the dark brown stable
No one's stable

04. My Ex Classmates Kids (Mix 4) (Smith/Blaney) 4:57  Lyrics

Ahhhhaaaaaaaaghhhh

Cry for them
5 days per week
I cry for me, three days at least
I cry for me, I cry for thee

On radio
Politburo sucker
On cooking show
On cooking show

Ahhhhaaaaaaaaghhhh
My ex-classmates' kids

Pressure under and over
Pressure over the skips
Over price adverts
Broken down laptops

Ahhhhaaaaaaaaghhhh
My ex-classmates' kids

Talking show not end
They cheat the kids
I cry for them
I cry for me, I cry for thee

Ahhhhaaaaaaaaghhhh
My ex-classmates' kids

Talking show never end
To our populous
I cry them
I cry for me, I cry for thee

Ahhhhaaaaaaaaghhhh
My ex-classmates' kids

No end it it
Smell - dry twigs

Ahhhhaaaaaaaaghhhh
My ex-classmates' kids

Up your nose
Aftershave like little twigs...
Twigs
