"All my thoughts they are complete, I got them from a lyric sheet"
from Zero=Zero

J Church and Cilantro released 275 separate songs and lyrics to 240 of them have been transcribed so far. The three instrumental / sampled Underground... tracks on the Palestine CD are not listed. Unlinked songs are not yet transcribed.

Although most releases include lyric sheets, some of these differ from the actual recording (occasionally quite significantly, e.g. New Ho Chi Minh City). This site attempts to present the words as sung, so not only are there numerous minor changes from lyric sheets, there are additional verses, bridges and choruses. Lyric variations in 'alternate' and live versions of songs are not included.

A guide to brackets:

( ) = backing / additional vocals. Usually sung by whoever is playing bass, but other vocalists are credited where known.
[ ?] = probably the correct words but the recording is not clear.
[...?] = unintelligible vocals.
