Vol.1-Switched On

Stereolab Vol.1-Switched On Lyrics
1.Au Grand Jour

We need a shake and therefore demand more than the cold
conclusion of reason
The only impossible thing is to delimit the impossible
The realm of necessity
(to restore the confidence)
(is) the triumph of human spirit
(triumph of the will)
Everything remains to be done
To devestate the ideas of family, famine and religion


2.Brittle


3.Changer


4.Contact


5.Doubt

Doubt will kill you
Youth passed away
Amongst the various controls of resignation
Unmistakable
Appeal of the marvelous

Doubt doubt doubt doubt...

Is it enough to show
How the nightmare works
So the people will wake up
Is it enough?


6.High Expectation

Do you really want
To love someone
Who does not love you

Do you really want
To stab your
Enemy in the back

Stab him in front

I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.

Is it what you want
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.

Do you want to be the offshoot of delusion
Do you think they'll mind your decision
I'm sorry
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.

Do you feel you owe the errant foe
Anything at all

I don't, i don't, i don't, i sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i sorry.

Do you want to be the offshoot of delusion
Give in to resignation
I'm sorry.
I won't, i won't, i won't, i sorry.
I won't, i won't, i won't, i sorry.
I won't, i won't, i won't, i sorry.

Do you feel you owe the errant foe
Anything at all
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.
I don't, i don't, i don't, i'm sorry.


7.Super-electric

...
Unexpected moments
The most inopportune
Some see the flesh before they see the bones
Some see the bones before
Before they see the flesh

...
Unexpected moments
The most inopportune
Some never see the bones at all
Some never see the flesh at all
Some never see the flesh at all
No never never flesh at all

To explain, i was made to exorcise his pain

Torn to pieces and (inform them)
... beyond repair
... reforging
Some ... at easy failure


8.The Light That Will Cease To Fail

So terminal, unreachable

<>

So turn it on. . .
(la-la-la-la bum-bum, la-la-la-la bum-bum)
So turn it on. . .
