Hallowed be thy name Lyrics

1986, 5/18, John Peel Session, BBC Radio One
[Thurston]
(god)
jack around my yeah (?)
and hear every whisper
the words of the .... (?)
the words of laughter
the rise of the mayonaise
go dressing your hairdress
kissing the lovers
kissing the bible
hallowed be thy name
now we have fathers
screaming at mothers
hallowed be thy name

come all you sinners
now I look worried
my little essay
to you during stories
you're ready to go off
is there any waiter
kissing the lovers
kissing the bible
hallowed be thy name
now we have fathers
screaming at mothers
hallowed be thy name

sons and their daughters
are taking your money
the queens are a bad dream
but now they're not funny
the psychos are walking
away with you sonny
kissing the lovers
kissing the bible
hallowed be thy name
yelling at fathers
screaming at mothers
hallowed be thy name

Psycho Mafia Lyrics

1988, 10/19, John Peel Session, BBC Radio One
Notes: The Fall cover
[Thurston]
turn on the straight
turn up to game
and now it comes
and when it's done
I found my love
and the psycho mafia
I found my love
and the psycho mafia

not much is done
no magic wand
so what's your problem
have we taken yours
I found my love
and the psycho mafia
I found my love
and the psycho mafia
psycho psycho mafia
psycho psycho mafia
`cho mafia
`cho mafia

but I'm straight
that ain't game
but like the rest
I'm afraid of the jet
but I'm a carper
psycho mafia
I'm talking about love
and psycho mafia
psycho mafia
psycho mafia
psycho mafia
psycho mafia
psycho mafia
psycho mafia
psycho mafia
psycho mafia
psycho mafia
psycho mafia

Electricity Lyrics

1988, Fast `N' Bulbous - A Tribute To Captain Beefheart, Imaginary Records
(Illusion 002)
Notes: Captain Beefheart cover
[Lee]
me to you to me
thunderbolts caught easily
shouting truth peacefully
electricity

(turn it up)

high voltage man kids his night to bring the light to those who need-
to hide their shadow deep
though it's too bright find the light I know that friends don't mind-
just how you glow
midnight cowboys steers in black hit the dark road without a map to free
seek electricity seek electricity
midnight cowboys steers in black hit the dark road without a map to free
seek electricity seek electricity

lighthouse beacon straight ahead straight ahead across black sea to bring
seeking electricity

high voltage man kids his night to bring the light to those who need-
to hide their shadow deep
you are a shallow deed
high voltage man kids his night to bring the light to those who need-
to hide their insanity
you are insanity

seek electricity seek electricity seek electricity seek electricity-
seek electricity seek electricity seek electricity
seek electricity seek electricity

electricity

My New House Lyrics

1988, 10/19, John Peel Session, BBC Radio One
Notes: The Fall cover
[Thurston and Lee]
my new house
you should see my new house
my new house
you should see my new house

I don't know that much about it
I bought it off the baptists
I get all the bills
and I get pissed
damn I'm falling off a bill (?)

hmmmmm
(ok chorus)
I can't stand a ...... place that's really common like this (?)
I can't stand a ...... place that's really common like this (?)
my new house
you should see my new house
keep away from my new house

it's got yr drier in the middle (?)
it's got a window sill

hmmmmm
(ok good)
.... to the middle of us (?)
.... to the middle of us (?)
my new house
where the beatniks hang out
my new house
you should see my new house

I care care about....
she won't grow up to be a problem
I don't have...
won't grow up to be a problem
my new house
you should see my new house
my new house
you should see my new house

sometimes I think I'll ring up swine tax (?)
and go back to my flat
sometimes I think I'll ring up swine tax (?)
and go back to my flat
my new house
that's one bad thing about it
according to the postman
it's like the bleeding bank of England
according to the postman
it's like the bleeding bank of England

creosote to my fence surrounds it (?)
no razor blades decks and a couple of decks (?)
my new house
you should see my new house
my new house
...what it's all about (?)

there are rumour flying
about a little haunted pillow
Mr. Rythem ... coming with me (?)
Mr. Rythem ... coming with me (?)
and he plays with his psycho radio
in my new house
you should see my new house
my - new - house
you should see my new house

you should see my new house
my new house
you should see my new house

Computer Age Lyrics

1989, The Bridge: Neil Young tribute, Caroline Records (1374/KAR002, US)
[Thurston]
cars are trucks
they got me on the corner
but I'm alright
standing proud before the signal
when I see the light
I feel like more than just a number
and I stand by you
or else we just don't see the others

find some pants
... on the desert (?)
but I'm alright
standing out here in the hot sun
when I see the light
I feel like more than just a number
and I stand by you
or else we just don't see the others

precious metal lies
... into the highway... (?)
days and night
weeks and months and seasons
rolling through me (?)

I need you
like .... a heartbeat
....
....
....
.... mirror
and ....
....

That's all I know (Right Now) Lyrics

[Thurston]
My nerves are buzzing and my heart is God
I think ... but I might be wrong
this goes to to the attic and buzz on the wall
but it's all right I don't care at all
`cause I'm yours and you're mine and that's
and that's all I know right now
that's all
that's all
I know, right now

it's dark outside except for pinpoint light
... lost in a fight
... picking up from the street
I'll stop over once and lay it at your feet
`cause I'm yours and you're mine
that's all I know right now
that's all
that's all
I know, right now

oh, baby it's dark out there
but oh, baby it's dark in here
oh, darling I don't care no no

my TV's up against the wall like a painting
... obstaining
but I myself had a thought for my lips
it's delicious lady won't you have a sip
`cause I'm yours and you're mine
and that's all I know right now
that's all
that's all
I know, right now

`cause I'm yours and you're mine
and that's all I know right now
that's all
that's all
I know, right now

Stalker Lyrics

[Drunken Butterfly CD5]
[Thurston]
Got me prowling like a police car
i'm stalkin' and walkin' you're my movie star
i know your trailer it glows in the dark
you got that certain something that special spark

i wanna know
what you think of this idea
you and me and no-one else
your friends at work will disappear
and that guy you're with he was never there
every night rewind the dream
tv static sex in flame
you know it's harder all the time
its comin' down real fast in my mind
i will not live without you you you

i gotta give my whole life
i'm comin' knockin' at your door
hear you walkin' cross the floor
now i know where my ambition lies
my love it's right between your eyes
i love you
i gotta love you
i'll get you
i gotta get you
yeh i got you

hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say

you're not telling what you feel
you're just say you can't deal

Genetic Lyrics

[100% CD5]
[Lee]
let me tell you every thought that I've come to
when I think of all the things that you do
I can't see if you're the only one - it's hard to say
and I think it's all the same to me today

I can see you too
if I can just see you this one time
I sit alone
everyone's at home
I see it
I believe
somehow I know it's true
your genetic kiss to me
I live inside of you

I have heard it said before it'll never happen
had it drilled in since a kid it makes my head spin
I'm still looking for these thing that I can't find
thought just come and go swirling through my mind

I see me and you
then it's him I'm thinking of
we sit alone
no one else at home
I taste it
I feel
and now I know it's true
your genetic kiss reveals
I'll always be with you

hey baby, it's you I'm thinking of
hey baby, who do you love
don't worry baby, I'm watching them as you sleep
let me whisper, some things for you to keep

there's no perfect idea
there's no perfect fate
just little stabs of happiness
sometimes a little too late
so keep your eyes wide open
and know what you're made of
remember first thought best thought
try to stay in love

Superstar Lyrics

1994, If I were a Carpenter, A&M (580 890-2)
Notes: Carpenter Cover
[Thurston]
long ago
and oh so far away
I fell in love with you
before the second show
your guitar
it sounds so sweet and clear
but you're not really there
it's just the radio

don't you remember you told me you love me baby
you said you'd be coming back this way again baby
baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, I really do

loneliness, is such a sad affair
and I can hardly wait
to be with you again
what to say
to make you come again
come back to me again
and play your sad guitar

don't you remember you told me you love me baby
you said you'd be coming back this way again baby
baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, I really do

don't you remember you told me you love me baby
you said you'd be coming back this way again baby
baby baby baby baby oh baby
I love you, I really do

My Arena Lyrics

1996, Little Trouble Girl, Geffen
[Thurston]
pass me a joint
it's time to anoint
the fortune is sun
as cosmic exploits
spark that shit up

oh yah

get me a beer
I feel kind of queer
I want to get f*ck up
poor me a f*ckin' tall one

oh yah

take off your clothes
but leave on your shoes
you smell like a rosary
and you look like a jew
you drunk all my wine girl

an empty bottle is nothing but trouble
another bottle and make it a double
we're getting thirsty

[Kim]
nowhere to go
nothing to do
nowhere to go
with someone like you
nothing to do
there's nothing that's new
but no one is home
there's no one like you
no one to see
nothing to say
no one to go
no one to stay
no one is home
no one is home
there's no one like you
never alone
nowhere to go
nothing to do
nothing to say
there's no one like you
nowhere to go
nowhere to go
with nothing to do
there's no place like home

[Thurston]
pass me a qual
let's do it and done it
I think I like you
I think I drank you
pass me the vacuum

Bee-bee's song Lyrics

1997, Suburbia soundtrack, geffen
[Kim]
In my head
head
I’m really tall
my eyes are big
not small
hair flows down
my back
down the street
don’t look back

In my heart
heart
I’m a star
bigger then
your guitar
wish I may
wish I might
be with you
tonight

In my eye
eye
I’m really shocked
I’m not
a cul-de-sac

In my heart
your the star
looking for
a candy car
wish I may
wish I might
come undone
just for fun

I was wondering if you ever
think of me maybe
If you want me tell me in honest
I will meet you maybe

In my eye
eye
I really shocked
I’m not
a last resort
daylight breaks
an ugly site
it’s me
is that right?

I wish
I might
come undone
just for fun

I was wondering if you ever
think of me maybe
If you want me tell me in honest
I will meet you maybe

I was wondering if you ever
think of me maybe
If you want me tell me in honest
I will meet you maybe

Sunday Lyrics

1997, Suburbia soundtrack, geffen
[Thurston]
Sunday comes along again
a perfect day for a quiet friend
and you, you will set it free

I see the morning ‘round your face
everybody says it’s another phase
and now, and now it has come to me

I’ve seen the magic in your eyes
I see it come as no surprise
and you, you turn your eyes away
yeah you, you turn it all away

I guess it’s true it’s never too late
still I don’t know what to do today
oh why, can’t I set you free
will you, do the same for me

Sunday comes and Sunday goes
Sunday always seems to move so slow, to me
Here she comes again

A perfect ending to a perfect day
A perfect ending what can I say, to you
lonely Sunday friend
yeah you, Sunday never ends
