1.A Matter Of Gender

Lyricist:Mackenzie William Macarthur, Rankine Alan Peter

I will admit it that you're something special
I'm now convinced, Marguerite

The flame may be hot but you can't resist it
To know is to touch Marguerite
Mama, mama, Marguerite, Marguerite, Marguerite

I don't know whether to over or under estimate you
Whether to over or under estimate you
For when I come over you then put me under
Personal taste is a matter of gender, Marguerite

Don't slip my name while you're making love
Say you were dreaming, Marguerite

Thou shall not commit the seventh commandment
Most precious of all, Marguerite
Mama mama, Marguerite, Marguerite, Marguerite

I don't know whether to over or under estimate you
Whether to over or under estimate you
For when I come over you then put me under
Personal taste is a matter of gender, Marguerite

I don't know whether to over or under estimate you
Whether to over or under estimate you
For when I come over you then put me under
Personal taste is a matter of gender, Marguerite


2.Logan Time

Lyricist:John Mitchell

I know your heartbeat inside out
I hear a voice within its shout
To a blank silhouette
Stenciled doubts spin the spine
Logan time, Logan time

I caught me looking at myself
I caught me looking at myself
Now my voice is deep with age
Talks in tongues of younger days
Logan time, Logan time

Logan time, Logan time, Logan time

I talk such nonsense while asleep
I lie for hours without your heat
Now the cough, nervous cough
Twitches on and twitches off
Logan time

Logan time, Logan time
Logan time, Logan time

Logan time, Logan time
Logan time, Logan time

Logan time, Logan time
Logan time, Logan time


3.Message Oblique Speech

Lyricist:Mc Kenzie Billy, Rankine Alan Peter

Hypothermic ice cubes are melting down
With prisoners from BSA and the Royal Crown
A fertilizing agent for the parasitic fool
Well, he drinks double hernias
Spits out wooden stools

A European throwback is spasmodicular
If you can't do no good then sucker
Don't you do no harm

Message oblique speech
We're still working on him
Message oblique speech
We thought of everything

Graphically perfect, totally intact
On display credential, he said, shouted fact
All important rubbish made to publish made to last
All important rubbish made to publish made to last

When I came around, I asked if you could dance
(Woo)
When I came around, I asked if you could dance
(Woo)

Anesthetists don't dance
They have balls with masks in France
Place your bets on ego, won't someone fire me?
Curl darling, I'm on K, hopeless inspire me
A million things to the individuals a million things
A million things to the million singular eyes has everything

Message oblique speech
We're still working on him
Message oblique speech
We thought of everything

Graphically perfect, totally intact
On display credential, he said, shouted fact
All important rubbish made to publish made to last
All important rubbish made to publish made to last

Message oblique speech
We're still working on him
Message oblique speech
We thought of everything

Graphically perfect, totally intact
On display credential, he said, shouted fact
All important rubbish made to publish made to last
All important rubbish made to publish made to last

Message oblique speech
We're still working on him
Message oblique speech
We thought of everything

Message oblique speech
We're still working on him
Message oblique speech
We thought of everything


4.Kitchen Person

Lyricist:Mc Kenzie Billy, Rankine Alan Peter

I'll meet you at the gin house, I wasn't walking that way
Here I'm lisping words so careful, I eat Vienna's
Drunk parade, my drunk parade

I got my ears off a jackass, I cross my T's with black
I never ever knew there's a shyness, a shyness, also
Help me out to be sane, help me out to be sane

I was always a kitchen person myself
(Kitchen person myself)
I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf
(Aah)
Always a kitchen person myself
(Kitchen person myself)

I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf
I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf
I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf

I expect to be one who's safe
We're turning the heights in turn my hardcore against the wall
You will tease but I know I can talk, South Central cities

I was always a kitchen person myself
(Kitchen person myself)
I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf
(Aah)
Always a kitchen person myself
(Kitchen person myself)

I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf
I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf
I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf

I was always a kitchen person myself
(Kitchen person myself)
I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf
(Aah)
Always a kitchen person myself
(Kitchen person myself)

I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf
I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf
I'll tell ya 'bout it, tell me when another shelf


5.Deeply Concerned

Lyricist:Mc Kenzie Billy, Rankine Alan Peter

Janis came, took your clothes
Took your clothes
Janis came, took your clothes

No one knows
Where she went to, where she went to
Last time we heard that she went to

In the time that it took to call you
In the time that it took to call you
Which was seconds merely seconds
Last time we heard she was crying, crying

We feel for you deeply concerned
If you need us, we'll be helpful
Hopefully

Leave out U, then leave out V
Keep W, Y, because of Z

Leave out U, then leave out V
Keep W, Y, because of z zed
Z zed, z zed

Zed is the black sheep of the alphabet
Zed is the masculine letter
I've known Zed's who've only taken
B's to bed they said that
G's couldn't scorch their sweaters

Someone gave us hi
And no, they married
Then along came baby, lo

Someone gave us hi
And no, they married
Then along came baby, lo

No hi, no lo

Zed is the black sheep of the alphabet
Zed is the masculine letter

7.Bap De La Bap

Lyricist:Mackenzie William Macarthur, Rankine Alan Peter

Bap de la bap, it's a milestone around your neck
Bap de la bap is checking who in retrospect
Crunching and chewing its way into the bone
Congealing itself with a toy from a splintered home

Bap de la bap, it's an animal
Bap de la bap with its left foot off
Bap de la bap, it follows you around
Bap de la bap, it splutters and it coughs

It's not your fault if you're seeing it stripped and bared
Vasco de Gama only traveled with intent to stare
A burst of hunger leaves it feeling satisfied
A Labrador sits on the bed with its tsetses tied

Bap de la bap, it's an animal
Bap de la bap with its left foot off
Bap de la bap, it follows you around
Bap de la bap, it splutters and it coughs

How does an antelope feel when it's getting chased
The same as a man with a Geiger pointing in his face

Bap de la bap disregards all intelligence
Bap de la bap runs through us like a barbed wire fence

Bap de la bap, it's an animal
Bap de la bap with its left foot off
Bap de la bap, it follows you around
Bap de la bap, it splutters and it coughs

It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs back to top


8.The Affectionate Punch

Lyricist:Mackenzie William Macarthur, Rankine Alan Peter

I'm here, you're there
I'm here, here's your share
Take your share

I'm here, you're there
I'm here, here's your share
Take your share
Just in case, just in case

When I say I
I mean, many, I mean many
When I say I
I mean, many, I mean many
Just in case, just in case

The affectionate punch draws blood
The affectionate punch draws blood, draws blood

The affectionate punch draws blood
The affectionate punch draws blood, draws blood
Even more blood even

The affectionate punch
The affectionate punch
The affectionate punch

The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?
The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?

The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?
The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?

The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?
The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?


9.Tell Me Easter's On Friday

Lyricist:Mc Kenzie Billy, Rankine Alan Peter

Shrinking like a pygmy
Flinching like a warrior
Passive from prediction
Confirming of a somebody you

Ask him for an invite
He'll fix an invitation
I want someone to steal from
Anyone but probably you

Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll splint my hips
Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll bruise my lips
And if I must be frank
Well I must be tone deaf

Tell me Easter's adjourned
Tell me why, when and where
Tell me Easter's adjourned
I'll meet you half way there
I'll meet you

Be a dignitary
Call me by my surname
Isn't it inconsiderate
Could it be or should it be felt?

If I see you angry
It makes me want to kiss you
Massive contradiction
Confirming of a somebody you

Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll splint my hips
Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll bruise my lips
And if I must be frank
Well I must be tone deaf

Tell me Easter's adjourned
Tell me why when and where
Tell me Easter's adjourned
I'll meet you half way there
I'll meet you
I'll meet you

If I see you angry
It makes me want to kiss you
Massive contradiction
Confirming all that's somebody you

Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll splint my hips
Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll bruise my lips
And if I must be frank
Well I must be tone deaf

Tell me Easter's a drag adjourned
Tell me why, when and where


10.Amused As Always

Lyricist:Mc Kenzie Billy, Rankine Alan Peter

Praise be to chance for meeting us here
We cannot dance, we dance by ear
Feet tap in time out in the streets
We walk in straight lines like some naval fleet

And still we're trying
To find some interesting things to say
Let's talk of a manor or the affluent way
For what it's worth amused as always
Amused as always, amused

Don't be so sure of days in advance
They might never come, praise be to chance
Praise be to chance for setting no rules
The chance it might take may never be cruel

And we're still trying
To find some interesting things to say
Let's talk of a manor or the affluent way
For what it's worth amused as always
Amused as always, amused

Praise be to chance for meeting us here
We cannot


11.No

Lyricist:Mackenzie William Macarthur, Rankine Alan Peter

Tore my hair out from the roots
Planted them in someone's garden
Then I waited for the shoots
Then I waited for the shoots

Bit my nails down to the quick
Worrying myself sick about you
Tearing facial masks in bed
What kind of sequel is this that you dread

Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms in it
Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms in it

Shaved and cut myself again
Should have let it slip down further
Crushing sour stones taste sour
Every minute hears a medal
No, no, no, no

Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms in it
Wrap my arms in it
Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms, wrap my arms in it


12.Transport To Central

Lyricist:Mc Kenzie Billy, Rankine Alan Peter

Transport to central
We need more like him
Do all in your power
To keep him alive

His jaw line's not perfect
But that can be altered
We've waited so long
For this one to arrive

Care and attention
Is all that is needed
The rest we can leave
Till some progress begins

We want some answers
To some of our questions
Till then we must wait
For the man from Peking

The man from Peking
We first found a hand
The hand pointed west
There the rest lay in sand

Transport to central
We need more like him
His jaw line's not perfect
But that can be altered

His jaw line's not perfect
But still interesting
Enough, enough

Transport to central
We need more like him
His jaw line's not perfect
But that can be altered

His jaw line's not perfect
But still interesting
Transport to central
We need more like him

Transport to central
We need more like him
His jaw line's not perfect
But that can be altered

His jaw line's not perfect
But still interesting
Transport to central
We need more like him

Transport to central
We need more like him
His jaw line's not perfect
But that can be altered

His jaw line's not perfect
But still interesting
Transport to central
We need more like him


13.Gloomy Sunday

Lyricist:Laszlo Javor, Sam M. Lewis, Rezso Seress

Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live without numberless

Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you

Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you

Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday

Sunday is gloomy
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided
To end it all

Soon they'll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
Let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go

Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you, gloomy Sunday

Dreaming I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart, dear

Darling, I hope that my dream
Never haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you

Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday


14.Q Quarters

Lyricist:Mackenzie William Macarthur, Rankine Alan Peter

Come to Q quarters
We're watching heads
Of state from here
Sticking their fabers
Deep into the empire's ear

Molding the conscience
Severe in every secret sworn
Now take the cuckoo
And revel in your image born

Push through the high ranks
Bulldoze sacred heritage
Instinct finds shelter
Cowering in the foliage

Detour reservoirs
Flood a city pretty please
Lost in petroleum
Fueled to fill the empty seas

Obsolete children
Their populations died en masse
Concrete civilians
Statues to the house of rest
Washing down bodies

Seems to me a dead-end chore
Floors me completely
Beauty drips from every pore
From every pore
From every pore

Q quarters
Q quarters
Q quarters

Come to Q quarters
We're watching heads
Of state from here
Sticking their fabers
Deep into the empire's ear

Molding the conscience
Severe and every secret sworn
Now take the cuckoo
And revel in your image born

Q quarters
Q quarters
Q quarters
Q quarters


15.White Car In Germany

Lyricist:Mc Kenzie Billy, Rankine Alan Peter

Aberdeen's an old place
Dusseldorf's a cold place
Cold as spies can be
Lisp your way through Zurich
Walk on eggs in Munich
Rub salt in its knee

I'm not one for surgery
Premature senility
White car in Germany

Anonymous as bathrooms
Androgynous as Dachshunds
Try them out and see
If some brat annoys you
Do what's felt impromptu
Kick them in their own

Is this your infirmary
On the road to recovery
White car in Germany

White car
White car
White car
In Germany


16.Even Dogs In The Wild

Lyricist:Mc Kenzie Billy, Rankine Alan Peter

Somewhere deep in the night
There's a child on his own
And his pulse isn't there
And the house is aglow
With the light from outside
Well the house is aglow

There's a mattress downstairs
Full of brown peppered holes
And the hoarse hair is coarse
Not as coarse and as rough
As the rash thoughts that never heal sores

Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild

Dogs in the wild in the wild
Dogs in the wild in the wild
Dogs in the wild

Even dogs in the wild
Could do better than this
Even dogs in the wild
Will protect and care for
Whatever means most to them

Even dogs in the wild
Could do better than this
Even dogs in the wild
Will care for
Whatever means most to them

Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild

Dogs in the wild, in the wild
Dogs in the wild, in the wild
Dogs in the, the wild

Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild
Even dogs in the wild


17.Skipping

Doors lead to other doors
Roads lead to other roads
They are simple, they just happen
They're simple, they take care of themselves
They're simple, they just happen to be there

Embarrassed, try one too
Whatever time's left of day
Marvelous, lousy
Could this be your safest way?
Ancestral in its own deficiency
A deficit of skipping

Skipping, skipping I left you there skipping
Ripping ropes from the Belgian wharfs
Breathless, beauxillous griffin
Once removed seemed dwarfed
They're simple in that they happen to be there

Embarrassed, try one too
Whatever times left of day
Marvelous, lousy
Could this be your safest way?
Ancestral in its own deficiency
A deficit of skipping

Skip, skip, skip, skipping
Skip, skip, skip, skipping, skipping
Skip, skip, skip, skipping
Skip, skip, skip, skip, skipping

Skip, skip, skip, skipping
Skipping I left you there, I left you there
Skip ,skip, skip, skipping, skipping, skipping

Skipping I left you there
Skipping skipping
Skipping I left you there


18.Nude Spoons

I wrote a note and dug it underground
I dug it underground
I found a tool to scrape away the soil
I found a wooden soil

It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered with nude spoons euphoria

I found a coin and washed away the silt
I found a shiny coin
A coin whose head was slightly to the tilt
Who'd leave it there, in there in silt

It skimmed itself into the silvery Tay
Deep into the Tay
It's aging happening silvery in the Tay
Is it still there today with nude spoons euphoria?
It lies there with nude spoons euphoria

Just forget about it
Just forget about it
Just forget about

Nude spoons euphoria
Nude spoons euphoria
Nude spoons euphoria

I'm glad I had this vital heart attack
It clears psoriasis
I'm glad I had this vital heart attack
It makes me want to

Wrote a note and dug it underground
I dug it underground
I found a tool to scrape away the soil
I found a wooden soil

It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered with nude spoons euphoria

Just forget about it
Just forget about it
Just forget about

Nude spoons euphoria
Nude spoons euphoria
Nude spoons euphoria


19.Club Country

The fault is, I can find no fault in you
Assault is say it or I'll say it to you
If we stick around, we're sure
To be looked down upon
What better way or should I say

Alive and kicking

Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young I'm told

Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
Your limitations are our every care
Every breath you breath belongs to someone there

At all's two words, could they be soldered as one
Therein lies the pseudonym
You think you've learned to know someone and find
That you don't know, don't know all's at all

Alive and kicking

Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young I'm told

Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
Your limitations are our every care
Every breath you breath belongs to someone there

Sad to see that you're suffering
Work hard at being a something
Sad to see that you're suffering
Work hard at being a something
Sad to see that you're suffering

Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always strychnine at the Country Club
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young I'm told

Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're all receding at the Country Club
Your limitations are our every care
Every breath you breath belongs to someone there


20.Party Fears Two

I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup

Please don't start saying that
Or I'll start believing you
If I start believing you
I'll know that this party fears two

And what if this party fears two?
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here
From closer to near, awake me

Don't turn around
I won't have to look at you
And what's not found
Is all that I see in you

My manners are failing me
I'm left feeling ugly
And you say it's wonderful
To live with I never will

So what if this party fears two?
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here
From closer to near, awake me

I'm standing still
And you say I dress too well
Still standing still
I might but it's hard to tell

Even a slight remark
Makes nonsense and turns to shark
Have I done something wrong?
What's wrong's the wrong that's always in wrong

I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup
