Don’t be a fool girl
He’s takin’ me all the way
We have gone to burn you up
You’ve all gone to burn me up
Got to...real life
You make me feel stupid
(Sugar come here, hey Sugar)
Wish it was five minutes before yesterday
Do you remember the time we were gonna do that?
(Sweetheart, come here)
Bring me all yr food and I won’t care to eat
Darling, darling
Do you wanna fuck me?
No, bring me all yr food
Don’t be a fool girl
(Shit)
You ought to have made our american dream come true
Don’t go in the water
Darling, darling
Got to, it’s real life
(Hey Sugar)
C’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon
I don’t remember what it was like yesterday
Was there a yesterday?
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
G-force eight ninety-nine, seventy-nine ninety-five
The ice ballet
Sleeping beauty
She’s a real jogger
What becomes a mirrorshade most? Huh?
C’mon girl
(What’s that?)
We’re gonna burn you
You’re contaminated
Something’s out there, look
Don’t you see?
Something used to be out there
(I swear)
I have it all in this book
Do you wanna fuck me?
(Shit)
We used to go to the place
Tell you what I’m gonna do
I’ll make you an offer
(Move over, come on)
Don’t do that
What’s it gonna be pal?
(Huh)
(Shit)
Don’t be a bully
Just cuz I’m a girl
Do I make you feel silly?
Is he the tall one?
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it to sound like that
Honey you can pick up that phone, call Proper and all yr troubles will be over
I just hope it was worth it
(Oh shit)
As soon as the sun goes down
He’s going into town
And he’s gonna play pool
Got to, it’s real life
(Yeah)
She always told me he would (c'mon)
Somehow I didn’t believe her (c'mon)
I’ll tell you one thing though
I think it’s going to rain tomorrow

Huh

Me & Jill/Hendrix Cosby
(Lee/Instrumental)

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 all right to go down
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 roofs
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 backwards 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 crossed with wires and spikes watching the blast
Everything went orange and all my thoughts dissolved in the cloud
I thought one last: How different from the sea is the boat?

Burnin' Up
(Mike Watt)

Don’t put me off cuz I’m on fire
And I can’t quench my desire
Don’t you know that
I’m burnin’ up for yr love
You ain’t convinced that that is enough
I put myself in this position
And I deserve the imposition
But you don’t know I’m alive
And there’s something in my heart
It won’t die
I’m burnin’ up

I’m burnin’ up
I’m burnin’ up
I’m burnin’ up

You’re always closin’ yr door
But that only makes me want you more
Day and night I hurt for yr love
You are convinced that that is enough
To justify my wanting you
Tell me what you want me to do
I’m not blind and I know
That you really want to want me
But you can’t let go

I’m burnin’ up
I’m burnin’ up
I’m burnin’ up

Do you wanna see me down on my knees
Or bending over backwards now would you please
Unlike the others I’d do anything
I ain’t the same, see I got no shame
I’m on fire

Fire

Come on let go

Do you wanna see me down on my knees
Or bending over backwards now would you please
Unlike the others I’d do anything
I ain’t the same, see I got no shame

I’m on fire
I’m on fire
I’m burnin’ up
Fire
I’m burnin’ up
I’m burnin’ up
I’m burnin’ up
Now you got me burnin’ up baby
I’m burnin’ up
Got me burnin’ up baby
I’m burnin’ up
Burnin’ up for yr love
I’m burnin’ up
Burnin’ up for yr love
I’m burnin’ up
Burnin’ up for yr love
I’m burnin’ up
Fire
I’m burnin’ up
I’m burnin’ up
I’m burnin’ up
I’m burnin’ up

Two Cool Rock Chicks Listening To Neu
(Kim & Susanne)

Susanne: That’s what you should do, you should be Dinosaur’s manager.
Kim: You know, Dinosaur has like ten managers.
Susanne: They don’t have any other managers.
Kim: They have like...are you kidding? They have a manager in every city.
Susanne: It’s such an easy job though, to just tell them what to do, I think.
Kim: Ahhh, yeh but, it’s like, They want you to do everything else, like they’re that kind of band, like they don’t wanna do anything.
Susanne: Well, yeh, but that’s easier, to do everything than to just do some of it, it’s easier you know.
Kim: That’s true, and have somebody else...
Susanne: And then have somebody else fuck up what you’ve done by doing part of yr job, it’s like easier just to do the whole thing.
Kim: Yeh.
Susanne: In some ways I think like somebody like Redd Kross would be easy to manage cuz they’d just be so like “Well whatta we do now?” and you just tell them and that would be it.
Kim: Like yeh, telling ‘em is awesome.
Kim: They just wanna rock.
Susanne: Yeh, right, they don’t wanna do anything.
Kim: They just wanna be rock gods, you know.
Susanne: I see somebody hit a snare at her. So let’s, let’s call J.
Kim: Okay.
Susanne: See if we can.
Kim: Hello, is J there? Oh, um, yeh could you just tell him, that uh, Kim and Susanne called, okay, thank you, bye.
J: It’s J.

Addicted To Love
(Kim)

Your 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 breathe
Another kiss is all you need
And you’d like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough
Now you’re gonna have to face it
You’re addicted to love

Your throat is tight, but you can’t breathe
We’re running at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you’ll be mine
A one track mind
You can’t be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there’s some left for you
You don’t mind if you do
And you’d like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough
Now you’re gonna have to face it
You’re addicted to love

Might as well face it you’re addicted to love
Might as well face it you’re addicted to love
Might as well face it you’re addicted to love
Might as well face it you’re addicted to love
Might as well face it you’re addicted to love

Your 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
And you’d like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough
Now you’re gonna have to face it
You’re addicted to love

Might as well face it you’re addicted to love
Might as well face it you’re addicted to love
Might as well face it you’re addicted to love
Might as well face it you’re addicted to love
Might as well face it you’re addicted to love
Might as well face it you’re addicted to love

Making The Nature Scene
(Kim)

Going back to these origins
The city is a natural scape
Order in the detail
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 in unnatural growth
On a funny sunny street
The city has forgotten you
The symbols of its past
The meaning of its state
It’s order of decay
Stand now in a column
And make the nature scene

Standing all 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

It just means
To count on you
It just means
To count on you
Make that nature scene

Making the nature scene
Making the nature scene
Making the nature scene
Oh yeh

Tuff Titty Rap
(Thurston)

Produce
Well, we’ve been asked to participate
In a Madonna rocker that can reactivate
We're Ciccone Youth from New York City
Get the pizza brought next cuz it’s a tuff titty

Now I know my rhyme ain’t bustin’ no chime
Cuz my rap beatin’ crappy like a homeboys son
His name is Mike Watt, he’s gonna get caught
Some knucklehead defiance to the group on New Alliance

Fuck yeh
Fuck yeh

Into The Groovey
(Thurston)

Music can be such a revelation
Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm’s right
I hope this feeling never ends tonight

Get into the groove
Boy you got to prove
yr love to me, yeh
Get up on yr feet
Yeh, step to the beat
Boy what will it be
Gonna get to know you in a special way
...to me everyday

I see the fire burning in yr eyes
Only when I’m dancing can I feel this free
(...no one else can see)
(...by myself)
...wanna dance with someone else

Get into the groove
Boy you got to prove
yr love to me, yeah
Get up on yr feet
Yeh, step to the beat
Boy what will it be, yeh
Live out yr fantasies here with me
Just let the music set you free
touch...

(Now I know you’re mine)
(Now I know you’re mine)

...groove
Boy you got to prove
yr love to me, yeah
Get up on yr feet
Yeh, step to the beat
Boy what will it be
You got to get into the groove
Boy you got to prove

Get up on yr feet
Yeh, step to the beat
Boy what will it be
You got to forget whew
