tO thE ENdS Of thE EARth! 05:07
lyrics
tO thE ENdS Of thE EARth! i can't wait 'til the sun goes out and the final Ice Age begins and the plants all wither and the animals starve and the Bible-thumpers choke on their "Sin" They'll try to herd Humanity under the ground and forge a nuclear "sun" for the "sky" but we'll never survive -- no, we'll never survive -- tho' we try and we try and we try.... Come and be by mi side we can watch the world die Don't they say time flies if you're having fun? Come on, waht do you say? Hey! Let's go get blown away! It's a beautiful day but now it's done.... i can't wait 'til those bombs start droppin' -- the capital "B" Bombs, i mean -- coz these land-mines and car-bombs and Suicide-rebels are inefficient Killing Machines Study the way that we did it the first time; an overkill statement, it's true: by frying hundreds of thousands in a couple of seconds we finally ended World War Two Woo-hoo! we're all screwed! yeah, mi and you! ooooooooh.... Look down on Yourself, mi Friend History don't never end Now you're doing it again how it must thrill you Look out for the Poison Cup left right before your place at sup you must drink it all up tho' it must kill you i can't wait 'til the World stops spinning and we all fly off into Space i can't wait to see the look in your eyes when they POP right out of your face Nothing can live in a vacuum, you know, and now the Final Die has been Cast Ya gotta start a fire if ya wanna stay warm but it'll suck up all your Oxygen fast So fast! and such a bLASt!

lyrics
Locked in a jailhouse of jealousy Walled up & welled up in solitary Mi keeper confined mi to mi music & books Mi keeper can find mi but doesn’t care to look Welded together, bars come between us Grounded under earth, light years from mi Venus Fused in the dark cell a blind allegory Refused by her heart’s swell condemned to purgatory NOW i’M dOiNG tiME iNStEAd Of YOU it’S A ShAME & A CRiME tRiED fOR bEiNG tRUE Don’t look upon mi as criminal Those cruel deeds were unintentional But mi confessions help mi to seal mi own doom Mi confessors jail mi conceal mi in this room NOW i’M dOiNG tiME iNStEAd Of YOU it’S A ShAME & A CRiME tRiED fOR bEiNG tRUE

lyrics
WALLS i wrote a love song for a girl to tell her how much she means to mi i wrote a love song for a girl since then she won't speak to mi i worked on it night and day i had no pot, i had no power it said so much i wanted to say out loud to her but i'm too much a coward and now she won't talk to mi (x4) she inspires mi to create things i’m making art and composing music i think we’re destined to do great things We have a chemistry -- i don’t want to lose it The two of us, we're one of a kind our conversations, they run the gamut a true meeting of the minds you don't know how much i miss her, dammit! coz now she won't talk to mi (x4) (bridge) i felt she felt the same feelings as mi mi most abrasive sounds are in her key mi Faerie Queen, i serve ever thee, i love thee, i need thy energy {gtr solo for a verse, then:} i wrote a love song for a girl to tell her just waht she is for mi how she makes up mi whole wide world how our story could make History we would be such a perfect match our variations would have no end but mi pitch had a hidden catch reaching for love pushed away a friend so now she won't talk to mi yeah yeah now she won't talk to mi no no no now she won't talk to mi goddamn now she won't talk to mi i said now she won't talk to mi anymore (x1,000,000, as it slowly fades away...)

i envy you because you go to bed with you at night; you're so lucky -- you get to see you every day.... i'm jealous of how your thoughts and voice are the ones you hear the most and how your house is where you get to stay i NV U U i NV U U i hold you close in bed but you're a pillow, you're not here i see you everyday, but just in mi mind you make mi glad when you call mi up and you voice your thoughts to mi and if i have the fuel i drive by your house sometimes i NV U U i NV U U [there's more, but it's not right yet...]

thE iMPRESSiONS ShE LEAVES 05:33
lyrics
She's frightened of bugs but she wears them so as to decipher their code; "if we slow down their signals we might understand them -- we are, after all, living in their abode." she wants to release balloons in a traffic jam shake her fists as they rise to the sky "you could climb on the roof of your car like you're trying to reach them" we laughed 'til i thought i might cry Is she frightened of mi? do i bug her? i don't think so, but waht do i know? Does she think of mi like i think of her? Does she realize how much i love her? She can capture the sun 'twixt her fingers yet her radiance puts it to shame -- "How is it you get more beautiful every time i see you?" Consant change, she is, like a flame She embraces her madness and mi (both) with a sort of a wary delight, like: "this jet-liner full of people could crash and burn any moment now; but 'til then, waht a glorious flight" I'm afraid i may die ere i kiss her I'm afraid i may die when i do I'm afraid i may die this next second then she'll never know that i wrote this song too

i never know just where you're goin You never tell mi where you've been All around i feel that cold wind blowin Will we ever feel that Warm again? Ah Takin a ride into The Nowhere Spent mi whole life along the way Not really sure i wanna go there Not even sure i have a say Ah These reckless notions overwhelm mi Bearing down upon the Vast Unknown Found the Answer they've been tryin to tell mi Ev'rybody Makes This Trip Alone Ah

"i'M iN LOVE With A GiRL" by ALEX ChiLtON 01:52

about

the Ogre and his 12-string,
living without electricity ANd
water (in the 21st century!),
and making the most out
of his misery with song.

some of these are things
in the works. some got
finished, other didn't.

also, twoo dangerous cuts from
thEE dANtALiON OGREStRA.
as jarring as the rest of the
album is relaxed. dO N0t
listen to these tracks while
driving, or around children,
pregnant women, or animals.
the rest of this stupf is safe enough.

the whole thing was recorded onto
a novel on tape (which one is lost
to the mists of faulty memory)
using a Radio Shack brand
monaural tape recorder,
hence the hiss.
