Palm Tree

Available on Meaty, Beaty, Shitty Sounding singles collection CD, New Disorder Soda compilation. Lyrics not yet available.

Panama

Available on A Million Broken Stereos 10", Nostalgic For Nothing singles collection LP/CD, The Ecstasy Of Communication CD, Tide Of Fate 7"/CDEP

The Captain is crying at the helm,
While the crew sits and laughs,
His daughter is staring at the moon,
It's over at last

The passengers don't say a word,
Old folks act like they hadn't heard,
Newlyweds in grey drink to the past

For a man, a plan, a canal, Panama,
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama,
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama

Did you ever think that Cripple Creek,
Could be still at night?
A million broken stereos are stars in the sky,
The one thing I will always hear,
Is the constant ringing that’s in my ears,
It reminds me of the stars in your eyes

For a man, a plan, a canal, Panama,
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama,
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama

She was barely giving signs,
He was barely there on time,
Please, I need something stronger than this wine

For a man, a plan, a canal, Panama,
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama,
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama

Parkas And Flags

Available on My Favourite Place 7" / CDEP, Slanted CD

Hey, does the sound just grate?
Hey, well it's a bit too late,
The mods look like Vulcans in parkas and flags,
The mods look like Vulcans in expensive rags,
The mods look like Vulcans and I don't want to look like that

Talking 'bout my generation,
Talking 'bout my generation,
Talking 'bout my generation,
I can't explain my generation

Hey, do you look great,
Hey, why are you afraid,
The kids are wearing their parents clothes,
The kids are wearing silver and gold,
They used to be wearing tattoos and boots and piercings in their nose

Talking 'bout my generation,
Talking 'bout my generation,
Talking 'bout my generation,
I can't explain my generation

Part Of The Problem

Available on Soul Patch And Cho Chos CD, The Big Giveaway compilation, The Precession Of Simulacra CDEP, Turn To Stone 7" #1

Burn down the buildings, riot in the streets,
Just stay out of my neighbourhood,
Carry your banners in your protest march,
But I don't feel it does any good

I might agree with everything that you do,
But if I'm part of the problem,
Then you're part of the problem too

Stumble home drunk in the middle of the night,
I try to walk where it is light,
Despite my sight, I feel all right,
I know that it's not very bright

I might agree with everything that you do,
But if I'm part of the problem,
Then you're part of the problem too

I'm not sure what you're asking,
But I know that I don't have the answer,
As if it makes any difference to you

I'm not sure what you're asking,
But I know I don't know the answer,
I'm reading, writing, doing something,
But at the end of the day I'm nothing,
I can throw my life away from Monday to Friday,
But I will not live like you

Parts Unknown

Available on Slanted CD, Split 7" with Restos Fosiles (demo version), The Drama Of Alienation LP/CD, The Winterfresh Revolution compilation (demo version)

When counting houses on my street,
The architecture ain’t so unique,
The walls crawl and the windows creep,
Don't lie, they tell no stories

I’m dying underneath the light,
I’m trying to get out despite the gravity of the home town team killing me

You can be the Queen and you can set the tone,
Convince yourself you’re in the danger zone,
You can travel in the parts unknown,
I am unknown,
I am unknown

Broken dreams are on my street,
The sidewalk speaks with senility,
The sidewalk doesn’t say anything,
It’s not responding to anything,
And I want to leave this town behind,
Pack my crap and take a ride,
Find there’s nothing I can find tonight

You can be the Queen and you can set the tone,
Convince yourself you’re in the danger zone,
You can travel in the parts unknown,
I am unknown,
I am unknown

People Are Scared

Available on Split 7" with Minority Blues Band #1. Original version by the Subhumans. Lyrics not yet available.

Petrograd

Available on Split 7" with Minority Blues Band #1. Original version by Cringer. Lyrics not yet available.

Picture This

Available on Prophylaxis LP/CD

The sound is coming through the trees,
And we stand paralyzed,
The corporate godhead demands a sacrifice,
And it's a present day danger,
We're a human plantation,
More like a human rainforest,
Ghetto deforestation

Picture this,
Picture lines,
Picture lines and poor design,
All the world is defined by temporary borderlines

Keeping eyes on the prize,
But everybody has eyes,
Another dubious goal,
Anaesthetised,
But our eyes stay blind but we can feel it,
And we don't say a word,
But it’s no secret

Picture this,
Picture lines,
Picture lines and poor design,
All the world is defined by temporary borderlines

Then I thought that it was no good,
All my dreams they turned to wood,
I froze where I stood just like damaged goods,
I would have run if I could,
I would have run if I could,
So I quit my job, dropped out of school,
At the time it felt like the right thing to do,
Now I know it's true, it’s 1992,
I saved my vision from the bottomless blue

Planet Earth

Available on My Favorite Place 7", Nostalgic For Nothing singles collection LP/CD. Original version by Duran Duran from their self-titled 1981 album.

Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain,
I heard you making patterns rhyme,
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound,
You'll see I'm right some other time

My head is stuck on something precious,
Let me know if you're coming down to land,
Is there anybody out there trying to get through,
My eyes so cloudy I can't see who

Look now, look all around, not a sign of life,
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth,
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop - this is planet earth

Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life,
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth,
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop - this is planet earth,
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop - calling planet earth,
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop - this is planet earth,
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop - calling planet earth

Plastic

Available on Altamont 99 singles collection CD, Split 7" with Less Than Jake

Empty glasses made of plastic,
So unlikely and fantastic,
I might cruise in coffee houses,
I'm returning naked glances

But if the mediocre [vision ...] you boring,
You start a conversation on American short stories

Don't even, don't even tell me,
(Don't tell me, don't tell me),
Don't tell me that it's nothing,
Don't tell me that you need it,
Don't even, don't even tell me,
(Don't tell me, don't tell me),
Do you want the complication,
Not open to interpretation

Whose figures are you flexing?
So drunk and interesting,
You should be [...?] at your studies,
She leave me bruised and bloody

You're trying to say I think I love,
I [smell?] the rest of the day
I'm trying to find the words but there's nothing left to say

Don't even, don't even tell me,
(Don't tell me, don't tell me),
Don't tell me that it's something,
Don't tell me that you need it,
Don't even, don't even tell me,
(Don't tell me, don't tell me),
Do you want the complication,
Not open to interpretation

Nervous and callous crust,
Smooth and [...?],
I'm happy with the knowledge I won't see you again

This is not my style,
(Don't even tell me, don't even tell me),
I guess I feel [insane ...?] for a while,
This is not my style,
(Don't even tell me, don't even tell me),
I guess I'm feeling changed, even just for a while

Prejudice

Available on Seishun Zankoku Monogatari CD. Lyrics not yet available.

Priest

Available on Prophylaxis LP/CD, She Never Leaves The Neighbourhood 7" (radio session version)

The priest waits for the train,
He leaves today,
He says "How could I have been so wrong for so long",
He lights his last cigarette,
He quits today,
What better way to leave than turning a new leaf

"Tell your mom I'm coming home,
Tell your mom I'm coming home"

The priest drinks from a flask,
It keeps him warm,
He says "I've felt this way before",
The book is a book,
The cross is wood,
The priest is a man

"Tell your mom I'm coming home,
Tell your mom I'm coming home"
