01. Slippy Floor (Mark Mix) (Smith/Greenway) 6:17  Lyrics

Tales from the Castleford crypt

Your future is our clutter
Is unable, a necessity
It doesn't involve a problem
This new approach is on the borders of necessity
I say to you, I say to you
Keep your own clutter
The encyclopaedia of building of plumbing
Is on the CIDV, underneath you
The Masque of Red is coming around
We're gonna get married
On the floor of behest

Don't book down
Just keep a stay ahead
S.H. is a chance I get
In the land of finance retail
Slippy floor
In hospital
Talk taken
On the land
I'm 95% more inside
Pay Drake
I'm 95% in inside of B Drake
Walking down a little road
A beautiful lake, I see and behold
Going closer
It's gorgeous
Then all I see
Is a slippy floor
And then I see
The slippy floor in apartment hall
You might like to scoff and guffaw
The slippy floor in view, apartment hall
Revere, wanted, two times, side gate
And as you try the needle and pull the one side gate
Your non-existence
Slippy floor
S.H. is a chance I take
In the land of finance retail
And all I get is a slippy floor in a hospital
Walking down the little road
A beautiful lake I see and behold
Going closer to inhale its gorgeous aroma and allure
But then I see, it's a slippy floor all over me
And all I get is a slippy floor
And all I take is a slippy floor
In apartment hall
The arty chance I took, taken
In the land of finance retail

A slippy floor all over me
I'm 95% inside of B Drake
Point taken in the land of finance retail
But all I see is a slippy floor
All I get is a slippy floor - hup! - all over me

One last cigarette's gonna do it
1-9-8-6 generator
And that's all he wrote
1-9-8-6 generat...

"Received: Tuesday, May..."

"And I'm wondering if you happen to know his number or can get it for me? I would like to speak to him, if it's not too much trouble. If you could let me know on 0161 795 5113 and I hope you're both well. All the best to you, goodbye"

"So apart from mixing that, there's not really much more to do with it, is there?"

02. Hot Cake - Part 2 (Smith/Spurr) 3:02  Lyrics

Hot came the wind
Hot came the wind
It was watery
It was Chino, like last song
Rolled oats
A man, a nasty slice of innocent

Step alligator
Are we near to a skip?
I went into a drip
I can't open the door
I can't open the door
My dialogue is stock
My dialogue is stock
Hot cake

And God say something
Bills
Is on TV
I can't answer the door
My dialogue is declining
Oh God
Oh, a slippy floor

And all I got was a slippery floor
And all I get is a slippy floor

Hot cake
Slip
Slide

I can't disagree
I get Mr Sporron
I get Mr Greer
I get Mr Spock
And for the mind
I get sloppy floor
And for the mind
I get slippy floor
