It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them
And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
And it was You that didn’t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth
It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name
………………
Wait for the perfect change of pace about a minute in – stunning – a perfect pop track:
If I ever needed inspiration,
Right about here’s where i lose my patience,
Do it now, do it now,
Don’t make you feel like, madder, madder, madder
………………….
I’d rather merk mans lyrically, spray them with the spit from my tongue
Than going on a killing spree and living life on the run.
Even if sometimes I feel like getting a gun and running up on every one who hated me from day one. But what’s the point in that?
It’s ironic where the point be at. Hate is from the heart, still the head is where I’d point the gat.
Imagine how your face looks as I cock it back, pull the trigger, imagine how your face looks after that.
But it ain’t worth it bro.
……………..
I tried to be strong and careful what I wished for
my outsides ache and my insides stung
from the long leather belt that replaced his tongue
not knowing how to run or how to hit the brakes
a white picket fence was built around a pit of snakes
both a wonder and frightening, the thunder and lightening
these were the sounds and sights of a thousand fights
my mother, the poor fish, staging eternal
cherades and parades for the raging inferno
………………
what have you bought into? how much will it cost to buy you out? what have you bought into? how much will it cost to buy you out? what have you bought into? how much will it cost to buy you out? how much it gonna cost to buy you out of my mind? penny for a thought.
……………….
this would be a normal shouty angst track – if the tune and vocals were not so soft and pleasant – brilliantly twisted.
Fuck you
You fucking fuck
You ain’t got nothing
Bad, bad luck
Bad luck, bad luck
Bad luck, bad luck
………………..
yes!!!!
Off for beer and cigarettes – then settling in here for the night…
But won’t be able to comment on individual songs for obvious reasons…
no worries – will do some explaining the choices on RR for you.
I can comment on the artwork though, it’s awesome!
Is the crotch a trilobyte? That’s deranged! In a good way.
thanks Amy – all the parts of the collage are from old medical and natural history plates – out of copywrite.
Originally produced as an attack on the ‘Hello Boys’ wonderbra adds of the 90′s. The ad was recreated as ‘Hello Beers’ wonderbrew.
got to sleep now.
here’s the original I did for a magazine years ago: hello beers.
(it’s always good to recycle)

That art! It’s Mick Jagger as he will look in hell. Payback for the misogyny!
Great list. I thought you’d go for Waiting for the Beat to Kick in: But you never did.
I’m now quite disturbed thinking Mick would find this rather attractive – anyway brain scrub time …hehee
Waiting for the Beat to Kick in: But you never did – like it – I actually thought last train home first – but then felt Snob was a more unique take on anger – the kids being ridiculed for their taste in music – but fighting back. It became a toss up between that and god – but felt Music ‘snobbery’ was too big a subject for anger so went with the less contentious god one.
Ha! Ha!
Mick enjoying being… Now I’m disturbed by how right your observation probably is.
Music snobbery too contentious… but The Beatles are “just a band”. No, you’re right, it’s too big a subject
Time to face the endless Finnish blizzard, this winter is seriously bizarre.
Cheerio.
Oh, it’s angry on the outside and very angry on the inside. Can’t be Mick unless he’s gestating and it’s definitely a female. Very scary.
Two really strong sets – if pushed on set 1 to pick a favourite it would be Groove Armada and Honkeyfinger on 2.
