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

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

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

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

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
