01. Why Are People Grudgeful?
(Perry/Gibbs)
4:27
All over the world... desolate
All over Europa... desolate
Come on, come on, come on...
When you were down and out
I always helped you out
And when you go out
You just chat and shop
You can walk and talk
Walk and talk
Without no fear at all
You can walk and talk
Walk and talk
Without no fear at all
(Why, why)
Why why are people grudgeful, boy?
Tell me why are people grudgeful, boy?
All over the world
different different
All over Creation
Desolate, desolate
(why, why)
Coming coming coming they're coming, you are crumbling boy
Watch out watch out watch out
Why, why
Watch out
Why, boy, why
And you tend to forget
Coming, coming, coming right from you boy
And you tend to forget
All over the world
Desolate, desolate
All over Europa
Desolate, desolate
(why, why)
So why, why are people grudgeful boy?
So why, why are people grudgeful boy?
Ah-watch out, watch out watch out, watch out
02. Glam Racket
(Smith/Scanlon/Hanley, S)
3:32
Stop eating all that chocolate
Eat salad instead
In fact, you're a half-wit from somewhere or other
Why don't you bog off back to Xanadu in Ireland
Glam Rick
Don't try to cheat me
I'm fragile
You hang around with camera crews in shell-suits
You lecture on sweets
You read Viz comic
Glam Rick
You are bequeathed in suede
You are entrenched in suede
Glam Rick
You've got celluloid in your genes dad
You are Glam Rick
You've cut my income by one third
You are working on a video project
You hog the bathroom
And never put your hand in your pocket
Glam Rick
You're Glam Rick
You're paging the [Malagna] in Spain
But can't read between the lines
Your price, cut down is amazing
You're one of the best songs I've ever heard by Stephen King
Glam Rick
Rhinestone
Your Clearasil produces Richthofen rashes
Sideboard-like on mountains
Clearasil is in conjunction
Shadrach, the shock
Glam Rick
You post out sixty-page computer printouts
On the end of forests
All the above will come back to you
And confirm you as a damn pest
Glam Rick
You're Glam Rick
03. The Re-Mixer
(Smith/Scanlon)
6:03
The sound resonating system works
It takes crackles, pops, scratches and hiss off recordings
Hiss off recordings
In real time too
Impressive
It also offers a 500 band graphic with nine-six db of silent gain
Wild
And is the hero of the pilferer
The mixer is close to me
He turns his head and smiles at me
He likes me
Understands me
At the [sortie?]
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Catch your fire
Count your fire breath
The mixer sweats
The mixer... sweats
There are no interest rates in the future
The mixer
The mixer
Clap, clap
It's the mixer
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
Clap, clap
The DLVDS is over-easy on the compress
And the mixer sweats
[spoken:] It possessed a sort of bright sound microphone with audio pickup pattern. It can produce broad responses, hi-fidelity quality, no feedback and no howling etc. It can express good sound of your voice, an excellent melody orchestra, a self-contained filter, explosive breath sounds, controlled explosive breath sounds... wind noises in different locations... and wind noises in outdoor locations. It possessed a sort of bright sound microphone balance.
Yes, you are a bit like animals
There's nothing like a little pith, first thing in the morning
[spoken:] Tom, Joe! Tom, Joe! For all home based and business PC requirements. I must emphasise the ease with the which you will be able to set up and use this superb PC. Even those with little or no knowledge of comps can be up and running. Each machine is guaranteed. With its high quality 14 inch VGA swivel tilt colour monitor, this powerful database, spreadsheet and communications. [RUSTLE OF PAPER] Do not leave the hotel. Whenever you leave the hotel, please leave your room. Leave your valuables in a safe deposit box. Avoid carrying large amounts, stop.
04. Lost In Music
(Rogers/Edwards)
3:49
Le money il sur le table
Il money il sur la table
The palace of excess leads to the palace of access
Hideaway!
I'm lost in music
Feel so alive
Hideaway
sur la table
I'm lost in music
Caught in a trap
No looking back
Le money il sur la tableau
Brick house refurbishment of pubs in the hideaway.....
I'm lost in music
Caught in a trap
And there's no looking back
I'm lost in music
I'm lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my ten-to-five
I'm lost in music
I'm lost in music
Lost in music
Hideaway
Snag table top, snag
Dip dip refurbishment of pubs
In the hideaway
And then I heard a voice say
You're lost in music
No turning back
Caught in a trap
You're lost in music
I'm lost in music
Caught in a trap
And there's no looking back
I'm lost in music
L'argent est sur la table, (the money is on the table)
Pris au piege, (trapped)
Inutile de regarder en arriere, (It's useless to look behind you)
Perdu dans la musique, (lost in music)
Cretin, va te faire foutre! (Asshole, fuck you!)
I'm lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my ten-to-five
I'm lost in music
