1.Papersnow (with Andy Partridge)
作詞:Christopher Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Blast Murray, Andrew
Partridge, Tina Weymouth
Pink confetti, shotgun wedding
Rocket secrets, someone's shredding
Nineteenth floor
Laundry ticket that exploded
Joust with Quaker pamphlet goaded
Into war
Ankle deep, we heroes amble
Ankle deep, we wade
Ankle deep through someone else's
Ticker tape parade
Softly, softly, softly
Falls papersnow
Softly, softly, softly
All of our works blow away
Petals fell on Petaluma
Till-receipt from Montezuma's
Burger Hut
Every day a billion dollars
Fall as black and white blue-collars
Plough their rut
Softly, softly, softly
Falls papersnow
Softly, softly, softly
All of our works blow away
Ankle deep, we heroes amble
Ankle deep, we wade
Ankle deep, through someone else's
Ticker tape parade
Jets folded from Wall Street Journal
Shoot down cartons care of Colonel's
Chicken Ranch
Kleenex where the guy's been cryin'
Goodbye note from girl who's flyin'
To new branch
Softly, softly, softly
Falls papersnow
Softly, softly, softly
All of our works blow away
Letters that I'd meant to send you
To torpedo and up end you
Sheet by sheet
Tore up all the beg and bitter
Add them to the drift of litter
On your street
Softly, softly, softly
Falls papersnow
Softly, softly, softly
All of our works blow away
Ankle deep, we heroes amble
Ankle deep, we wade
Ankle deep through someone else's
Ticker tape parade
2.No Big Bang (with Maria McKee)
作詞:C Frantz, J Harrison, M Mckee, T Murray, T Weymouth
Just a glimpse of thigh
And the footlights of my burlesque season
Blaze across the sky
And I'm tearin' back the red shift
To tempt you with a shock of skin, so milky white
And the supernovas have their duller moments
Thought I'm fashionably late
I'm light years beyond them
You grow thirsty and I'm all spread out
Hung high and flirty
Reflected on the shore
And you dive, dive, dive in
Painting ripples on my skin so blue and warm
When the supernovas have their duller moments
Though I'm fashionably late
I'm light years beyond them
No big bang of a man, bang of a man
No big bang of a man, bang of a man is enough to
I watch you sleep
I've been on the prowl forever
There's no shade from my beam
And I'll suck you up with my weather
Lock you in a silver tether
Drown you in cream
Even supernovas have their duller moments
No big bang of a man is enough to fill them
Even supernovas have their quiet moments
No big bang of a man is enough to fill them
When I'm lost out there
I am everywhere and I'm lost out there
No big bang of a man is enough
No big bang of a man is enough
No big bang of a man is enough to fill them
No big bang of a man is enough to fill them
3.Indie Hair (with Edward Kowalczyk)
作詞:C Frantz, J Harrison, E Kowalczyk, T Murray, T Weymouth
I had a job washin' dishes in a sink
It made me rich but in a different kind of way
I could cut my hair but it costs too much
So I'll buy my own clippers, darlin', and D.I.Y. this bush
Her last temptation was to grab that beggin' bowl
Her belly was empty but her mind was full
Can you see it? Would you go?
I could cut your hair but it costs too much
So I'll buy my own clippers, darlin', and D.I.Y. this bush
Would you go with me anywhere? Hum
I can't sing, I can't bring this peace without you here
They say he left his home with only five strands
Are you okay? You've got your head in my hands
Would you go with me? Could you sing a song?
I've brought my own clippers, darlin', it won't be long
We're going to India to sit with angels
We're going to India to sit with devils
We're going to India to sit with angels
We're going to India to sit with devils
4.Blue Blue Moon (with Gavin Friday)
作詞:Christopher Frantz, Gavin Friday, Jerry Harrison, Thomas
Blast Murray, Tina Weymouth
Another Saturday night and she knows where she's goin'
To that small corner bar on the far side of town
Folks call her Ol' Faithful 'cause she's always hangin' around
Dressed up shimmy-shammy in her sequins and pearls
Hey there, moon
Blue, blue moon, I'm all alone
Blue, blue moon
Without a love of my own
A 'Stoli' on ice makes everything just right
She laughs and chit-chats with whoever's around
'I've been there, done that, have you heard the one about?'
No one ever listens and they don't hear the sound
Hey, there, moon
Blue, blue moon, I'm all alone
Blue, blue moon
Without a love of my own
Just looking for a friend, someone to dance with me
A little romance cheek to cheek
Someone to hold and dance the night away
'Tick-tock' goes the barroom clock
It's quarter past two and the night's wearing thin
She salutes the happy couples, bids them all fond 'Adieu!'
'Barman, make mine a double, Cinderella here, has lost her shoe'
Hey, there, moon
Blue, blue moon, I'm all alone
Blue, blue moon
Without a love of my own
So, I'll make believe someone danced with me
She used to sing, she used to cry but, now
She doesn't even try because she knows the stars
Those bright and shiny stars have all fallen, fallen from the
sky
The moon is blue
The moon is blue
The moon is blue
The moon is blue
The moon is blue
5.No More Lonely Nights (with Malin Anneteg)
作詞:Malin M. Anneteg, Christopher Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Thomas
Blast Murray, Tina Weymouth
Two love stories
She installed a video camera over her bed in the bedroom
No more lonely nights, in a film she once saw
A girl was fucked by a dog, so she went to the pet store
But felt stupid and came home with a goldfish in a plastic bag
The fish's name is Superman, he would circle the bowl
World in five minutes
No more lonely nights, no more lonely nights
No more lonely nights, no more lonely nights
This is two love stories
She goes to bed with a lipstick and a box of chocolate
She read in a book once that chocolate was good both
In you and on you for sexual pleasure
SuperMan watches glossy-eyed, camera staring mute
Blinking encouragingly down at the big bed
Where she has fallen asleep, fingers smeared with 'Kissing Red'
And melted chocolate, Superman and the remote control
Still in a cramped grip
No more lonely nights, no more lonely nights
No more lonely nights, no more lonely nights
Two love stories
For your birthday, I'll give you scissors, shining, silver,
sharp
To cut me open and step right in, you know I am
Hot enough to keep you warm when winter comes
Oh, it would suit you good, it would do you good
You can do it, you've done it before
Take my milky white and make yourself a coat
Cut me open and step right in, I'm sick of being without you
Believe me, the pain means nothing
No more lonely nights, no more lonely nights
No more lonely nights, no more lonely nights
Two love stories
Infected by your tongue when kissing, the I.V. love shock
That took me for a ride never ending, I guess I should have
Known that needle'd been around, the disease of loving
You spread fast through the blood, I lost everything I had for
you
I lost everything I was for you, I used to have a language
I used to have a name, I used to have a name
No more lonely nights, now I have yours
No more lonely nights, snakebite
No more lonely nights, stabbing
No more lonely nights, sex
I wanted to tell two love stories
One would be the story the other
Would be the story about love
6.Don't Take My Kindness For Weakness (with Shaun Ryder)
作詞:Frantz Christopher, Harrison Jerry, Leveridge Paul, Murray
Thomas Hinton, Ryder Shaun William, Weymouth Martina
Jungle is massive
So if you need a new direction
In the way you think and feel
You let me know, now, I know now
So if you need a new direction
In the way you think and feel
You let me know, now, I know now
Rock me, baby, tell me, baby, sleazy lady
You're with me, lady, it's easy, baby
Tell me, baby, you drive me crazy
You're with me, baby, sleazy lady
Don't take my kindness for weakness
When I'm on to every one of your secrets
And the way you treat a brain, I don't need this
Where everything gets fixed in the one hit
And I say that game is show biz
When I'm on to every one of your sweetness
Rock me, baby, tell me, baby, sleazy lady
You're with me lady, it's easy, baby
Tell me, baby, you drive me crazy
You're with me, baby, sleazy lady
Don't take my kindness for weakness
When I'm into every one of your secrets
And the way you treat a brain, I don't need this
Everything is fixed in a slow kiss
I don't need to see you standin' there
I don't need to beware
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Well, everything is fixed in the one hit
And I'll say it once again, that is show biz
Rock me, baby, tell me, baby, sleazy lady
You're with me lady, it's easy, baby
Tell me, lady, you drive me crazy
You're with me, baby, sleazy lady, rock
Will you rock? We rock
Do you rock? Oh, rock
We rock, oh, rock, we rock
Don't take my kindness for weakness
When I'm on to every one of your secrets
When everything is fixed in the one hit
When I have to put up with your bullshit
Just because I do not keep my mouth shut
Doesn't not mean I am a blood clot
Rock me, lady, tell me, baby, sleazy lady
You're with me lady, it's easy, baby
Tell me, lady, you drive me crazy
You're with me, baby, sleazy lady
You're on it, you're on it, you're on it, you're on it now
It's a plant life in our one and only world
It's a plant life, I've been planted and I won't dance
7.The King Is Gone (with Michael Hutchence)
作詞:Christopher Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Michael Kelland
Hutchence, Thomas Blast Murray, Tina Weymouth
They came from the second city
Where the screams came unattached
Addiction was the latest style
In the faces they could not match
There was a blue beat playing
On the radio left behind
And a man selling lies as truth
Like a king who was loved too much
They made a mess of your only child
Her innocence was not lost
While the judge and jury took their dime
They counted the miles and laughed
Make way for the way we are
The fever still burns though the king is gone
Fever comes to the innocent
It can make you mad and free
But you never find a scrap of love
If you don't wanna feel the heat
A million flames are lickin'
They lie like dogs at your feet
Waitin' for the words of wisdom
From the mouths of the bittersweet
In the valley of indiscretion
Where fear plays the piper's tune
The heroes are the ones who tell the truth
And break the rules with the courage of love
Make way for the way we are
Fever still burns though the king is gone
Make way for the way we are
The king is gone but the fever lives on
8.Never Mind (with Richard Hell)
作詞:Christopher Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Richard*645402* Hell,
Thomas Blast Murray, Tina Weymouth
Come to me, babe, but come facing away
Look back, you'll see me, it's a grownup at play
You might be pretty, but I've seen it before
If that's all you've got, I don't need no more
Never mind, never mind, never mind, never mind
You got me hooked, I admit it, it's true
But the hooks are liquid, I can slip 'em, they're goo
And when you've lived long as me you'll know, too
Have all the meaning of a day at the zoo
Then again, the zoo's a nice place to go
After all, we both were born there, you know
Come on, honey, it's a nice, nice day trip
You can give that little boyfriend the slip
Never mind, never mind, never mind, never mind
I like the way you blush at a touch
I like it better if you don't blush too much
I like to listen and I like to look
But if you can't accommodate, I'm fine with a book
The days are short, now, but comedy is long
It doesn't matter much and nothing is wrong
Don't get me wrong, I like you and your dress
But we're both better off without all that stress
Never mind, never mind, never mind, never mind
Never mind, never mind, never mind, never mind
9.Only The Lonely (with Gordon Gano)
作詞:Chris Frantz, Gordon James Gano, Jerry Harrison, Thomas
Hinton Murray, Tina Weymouth
And Charlie Chance mocks castles in the air
And bang, romance it rocks his cradles of despair
Only the lonely, homely sentiment
Only the lonely, only my detriment
I not gonna see you anymore and I am cryin'
I don't want to see you anymore but I might be lyin'
Miss Hard he hunts her Sikhs will not suffice
Bad Batter bunts Willy Meek speaks of self-sacrifice
His muse sick, it pays how much now cost is the balance
The musician prays 'cause his touch now is lost as his talents
I'm not gonna see you anymore and I am cryin'
I don't wanna see you anymore but I might be lyin'
No, I know, oh, now, I won't let go
Oh, I know, I won't let you go
And Charlie Chance makes castles in the air
And bang, romance it breaks his cradles of despair
Only the lonely, blowing leaves in the gusts
Only the lonely, loathing leaves disgust
I don't wanna see you anymore and I am cryin'
I don't wanna see you anymore but I might be lyin'
