she always told me he would
somehow I didn't believe her
I'll tell you one thing though
I think it's gonna rain tomorrow

 

Me & Jill

[Lee]
We had just left shore when everything began to happen at once
the water came in and we started to go down
I looked at jill and she looked back,
thinking it would be alright to go down
but then the railings broke and the motors gave out
the hall emptied out and no-one was left for the band
the amps all wet, speakers burst, soaked

we, up three flight now, tried to meet up with the galley crew
but it seemed everyone had gone
we had a smoke to pass some time
Jill said "I'd love to, right now"
what could I say?
We did while the waters rose, licking our feet
it was fun and funny so we laughed
I loved the way she could laugh, so full bodied

when we hit the sky we were high over the rooves
a field of gnarled antennas coiling upwards
waves and waveforms joining in a nice hot blast
so different from the boat
the cold silver sky opened for us and we passed through
last I saw of Jill she was heading into the coils of the antennae
laughing, so beautiful
saying she hadn't yet had her fill of the boys there
and the electricity
saying she wanted to plug in again and fry a bit
I said: "watch the water love"
she kept laughing and shook her hair
she said "I'd love to, right now, you know"
so we did, and had a smoke too, and her lips parted
there in amongst the coiling snakes of an antenna
she looked right at home
the waves came up and a blinding flash caught me dreaming of her
as she looked all across with wires and spikes watching the blast
everything went orange and all my thoughts dissolved into the cloud
I thought one last: how different from the sea is the boat

Burning up

[Mike Watt]
go burn me up, cause I'm on fire
and I can't reach my desire
do you know that I'm burning up for your lovin'
you ain't convinced that that is nothing

with my soul in this position
and I presume the imposition
you know I'm alive
and there's so mean in my heart, it won't die
I'm burning up

I'm burning up (3x)

you're always closing the door
I think that that only makes me want you more
damned I, too hard for you lovin'
you aren't conviced that that is nothing
justify my wanting you
tell me what you want me to do
I'm not blind, and I know
that you're going to want me, but you can't let go

I'm burning up (3x)

do you want to sit down with me
[mumbling...]
.. would you please
I ain't the same see I got no shame
I'm on fire
fire

come on let go

do you want to sit down with me
[mumbling...]
.. would you please
I ain't the same see I got no shame
I'm on fire
fire

I'm burning up (repeated)
you got me burning up baby
I'm burning up (repeated)

Two Cool Rock Chicks Listening To Neu

(S=Susanne) (K=Kim)
S: That's what you should do, you should be dinosaur's manager
K: yeah well dinosaur has like ten managers
S: they don't have any other managers
K: they have like...are you kidding? they have a manager in every city
S: it'd be such an easy job though to just tell them what to do, I think
K: erm, yeah but, it's like, they want you to do everything, you know,
they're that kind of band, like, they want to do everything
S: yeah but that's easier to do everything than to just do some of it,
it's easier you know
K: that's true, and have somebody else...
S: and then have somebody else fuck up what you've done by doing part
of your job it's like easier just to do the whole thing

S: in some ways I think like someone like redd kross would be easy
to manage cos they'd just be so like "well, whatta we do now?" and
you just tell them and that would be it
K: they just wanna rock
S: yeah right they don't wanna do anything
K: they just wanna be rock gods, you know
S: seems somebody hit a snare in here

S: so let's call Jay
K: okay
K: hello, is Jay there?
oh ah can you just tell him Kim and Susanne called,
okay, thank you, bye

Addicted to Love

[Instrumental]
the lights are on, but you're not home
your mind, is not your own
your heart sweats, your body shakes
another kiss is what it takes
you can't sleep, you can't eat
there's no doubt, you're in deep
your throat is tight, you can't breath
another kiss, is all you need
you'd like to think that you're immune
to stare, oh yeah
it's closer to the truth to say you can't get it
you're gonna have to face it you're addicted to love

you're throath is tight, you can't breath
running at, a different speed
you're heart beats, double time
another kiss, and you'll be mine
a one track mind, you can't be saved
oblivion, is all you crave
is there a song, for you
you don't mind, if you do
you got to think that you're immune
to stuff, oh yeah
it's closer to the truth to say you can't get it, noooo
you're gonna have to face it you're addicted to love

might as well face it, you're addicted to love (6x)

the lights are on, but you're not home
your will, is not your own
your heart sweats, your teeth grind
another kiss and you'll be mine
you got to think that you're immune
to stuff, oh yeah
it's closer to the truth to say you can't get it, noooo
face it you're addicted to love

might as well face it, you're addicted to love (8x)

 

Making The Nature Scene

[Kim]
Going back to these origins
The city is a natural scape
order in the details
Confusion uproar in the whole
In nature reality is selection
the tool of critical intervention
Fragmentation is the rule
Unity is not taught in school
You are an unnatural growth
On a funny sunny street
The city has forgotten you
It's symbols of the past
The meaning of its state
It's order of decay
Stand now in a column
And make the nature scene

Standing now in columns
making the nature scene
making the nature scene
waiting to make their pay
There is no resistance to
the signs along the way
standing all in columns
waiting to make their pay
making the nature scene
Waiting for the day
There is no resistance to
There is no resistance to
Salvation means to count on you
It just means to count on you
Make the nature scene

Making the nature scene
Making the nature scene
Making the nature scene

Into the Groove(y)

[Thurston]
music can be such a revelation
pass around and do the sweet sensation
we might be lover if we tried
I hope this feeling doesn't end tonight

get into the groove
boy you've got to prove your love to me, yah
get up on your feet and step to beat, boy what will it be
gotta know you in a special way
do it every day
I see the fire burning in your eyes
only when I'm dancing can I feel this free

(by myself)
wanna dance with some else
get into the groove, boy you've gotta prove your love to me
get up on your feet, yeh, step to the beat, boy what will it be, yeh
live out your fantasies here with me
just let the music set you free
touch my body

(now I know you're mine) (x2)

get into the groove, boy you've gotta prove your love to me
get up on your feet, yeh, step to the beat, boy what will it be, yeh
you've got to..
get into the groove, boy you've gotta prove your love to me
get up on your feet, yeh, step to the beat, boy what will it be
