I don't know the name of this one:
I Hate New York
just a sex explosion
as we go shopping ourselves mean
want to wake up on the screen
properties keep changing hands
we think we own them but we can't
I want to hold something that lasts
I want to shatter all my past
the volume of the vanity
new york is giving me the creeps
like teeth into a baby's knees
oh baby baby baby please
they name the planets after gods
and the bridges after men
I want a planet and a song
and a building when I am gone
had a girl I let her go
now she's someone else's girl
I had a job I couldn't stand
couldn't tell ya what I did
the volume of the vanity
new york's giving me the creeps
like teeth into a baby's knees
oh baby baby baby please
got to get out of here
vampires at the gates
they've got a style which is smashing down doors
there is no head to cut off
(solo)
some people make me want to scream
for the smallness of their dream
some things that they hold in disdain
couldn't mean much less to me
cause you and I know where it's at
we see the stars and things like that
I want to see them all with you
I want to break up and destroy
the volume of the vanity
new york is giving me the creeps
like teeth into a baby's knees
oh baby baby baby please
I'm checking myself for holes
the valley of the dead
I want your love and your danger now
if I go down I am going down with someone
this is the culture capital
beauty bought and sold
but you and I both know
they'd trade their only souls
like a bridge or tunnel toll
for a thing they never owned
Available
wrapping the sender seas
walking the checks to the middle east trust must be nicer in Venice California
shopping the her tata
naping the naps afar
nothing is natural
not with a christ in your cap
you would die all too ready
is this how I pay to get by
the sooner we climb the livable lie
I guess I said some things that could have been more delicate
to run your thing you advertise alternative
I was adverti know long line last
passing red shirt close too knit at your mother in love
keep her on valium
your father's closet is full of wives he's always out shopping just keep
insane he cries because he can't afford his own daughter
that might explain the show of contempt
you might home some thing of rent
oh man that would need your blessing if we're closer than you know
with Beverly bleeding next to same unmusic school
here's how it looks outside the estate
gargoyle columns cheap point outwards davis, it's been rescinded
(solo)
I got no ax to grind
I cut my teeth on that
achilles heel of the stone cold
snow white Madonna
calling me for a tom
salting a kiss kata
pass out the way we're going
down on the way bed shoe
since blast men seek out jail
jailing the generals
to keep us from rooming
I probably chosen sad woo Kate
I know some see clears have interpreters
under its grip said you would be here for the priviledge
far too misstate the rumor look what god gave
next ones around here on the train you'll take it home
standing on the platform
My First Time
she was already on some secret probation
a mother's nightmare, a father's dream
she was egyptian to me
took me an hour just to get myself brave
i called her up at her mother's house
my voice was shaking
we were suspended
on the line
'til she said, "okay fine"
it was my first time
being one to choose
it was the hardest thing
i ever had to do
we drove around santa monica
too young and broke
at 9pm i took her home
and we hung out
she knew a lot more about it than me
took my hand and showed me things
it wasn't guilty
or dirty
it was tender
a little awkward
and i came
it was my first time
it was her third
i think we both did fine
but it got better after that
the velvet underground was playing
heroin
that might sound inappropriate
but it's such a beautiful song
and we weren't doing anything wrong
or maybe we were
and that turned us on
it was my first time
i think she could tell
but she kept me on
and she taught me well
We Build Al Qaeda in Washington
Subway
Here's my fraught attempt to decode "Subway." Please suggest corrections in the comment field. Thanks.
Am I the suit well I wasn't much
I got so crushed in a reptile beel
alone with you but never touch
one pill for everything never fade
never never drive never mean a thing
never feel a thing
never dragon fly
I pass you by on the way I am
down in a mud hole thing
down in the eleven night
song should be good
just a little sad
about having a good time
going to a lie
you a little thing
who's got a shot
we could fire expectations
die with a pit in hole
their picking hole
I just don't know how to be a world
this train is for beautiful girl
making me sell
got this fire on a where thing
caz with a ona thing
down in a little thing
From a Tower
Thanks to giftofisolation and Benson for help with this one.
heaven just got your postcard
my dear Verona girl
we are blessed and powerless
where ever we turn we win
still this Campanile
longs for some time beside thee
Could you storm my tower
bring your bells
I am mad man bastille
Twelve residents who see your fires
we cheer inside
we cheer for you fire bringer
No, I don't know you well
but I know enough to tell you that
If you storm this tower
we'll just lay down
I do build you up
precipitously
to up whipped peaks
you never claim to be
cause humans will fill
any void with their hopes and distortions
its not so bad
just to sing from a tower
I hope we don't change too much,
without checking in
but if you should
there's that to look forward to
my verona girl
(harmonica)
and I found your black power earrings
exactly where you hid them
this too is a postcard
from a bloodless revolution
now i don't know you well
I know you just enough to tell you that
when you get back
we can be how you want
Not a Track Bike
Here's my attempt to discern the lyrics to Not a Track Bike. Please help if you can by suggesting changes in the comments field.
she has the defect of these many fine qualities
I'm punk and partial to the faction of these mirz
no dear dependent faces took the chance and fight the races
could nas the red quilt go
blow up codjew the blow up the glass face
blow the glass floor blow up the house rock
I want and need to have life
I am a pack and pan but
or the thing that we won't fight down I want a little bit back
she needs to love to Canarsie
fat sand and wet sand the darkies
right now she cuts through the butter
slim jim and fat load a motherload
blow up the cop shops prop up the molotovs
pen up the gentry stabbing for entry
I I want an interesting life without the requisite strife
and inherit the meek full time
I want and interesting life
(guitar solo)
I just stood beneath your nails
death rays and sex fiend chemicals
4000 guys like you
4000 thousand girls too
all over them all over the american walls seriously
I am the boy that
I want want an interesting life on the lower east side
I'd rather fucking die
I think it's a beautiful mistake
and I paid back my old love
and gods been here steaming mail
screaming "no what an interesting life"
(breakdown)
so unbound these uneven keys
through the worships though my archepile
I've found that dream to do what you kept fucked in shepards full
the cast full the catwalk blow up the psycho
I want an interesting life,
not the kind you can buy, not the kind you can trade
not the kind you can fake
due to the tragic events of every month
there will no longer be smile or fun
and we need a new lightbulb and cuckhold disease
and to molt in between
so everyone get away
Ribbon Head
Oh Ribbon Head go too far,
you are not allowed out in the yard
with the children and your cake mag loose
holding the hammer hotels, describing the circles in the sand
someone should stop you
ribbon head, unhook the wires
leave you for dead
for all you've said no truth
just a few spet shields you must go back to the basement
with a wrench and ghost holding your hammer and oil can
tears of a robot, skin of a man
It's how you were programed
ribbon head going stable, going dead
a lamppost, a history a mud wimp think,
only we take our eyes and make believe
ribbon head this is the last time we'll meet
out in the fields
ribbon sun memorial rain down the overcoats you know the code
up to the knees round falafalo
ripping the red flag from their throat
ribbon head, there is no more chance a lot
should you rule
and deliver them art and lies
and these pale lights through our eyes through time
and would make a lesser crime
of what they think
hoping the do push too far you push too hard against all the odds
Westchester rotery and I think a chain
holding your hammer and your class
no names on your figures, no kings in your past
someone must stop you
Ribbons head, burn down your barracks
eggs in your head
a humor post, a history
how much we think
only you, take our eyes
and make believe
Ribbon head this is the last time, we'll meet
out in the fields cold and hysterical
god in the envelope could not that provide
nothing is real building the rival scope
tracks box that overflow
the end of this
Vivid Green
Skipping Kryptonite for the time being, which I am having trouble with, here's my attempt to transcribe"Vivid Green."
Vivid green remember apocalypse machinery
falling down my hairy tree
swords for hands let free
soft stones and ready glass
assume these forms assume ourselves
every exit entering
protect yourself don't auset fine
english wears and wake up phone
slaush ka teen rock harmonies
streaming there with rainbows spent
moons were crooked smiles again
I have always loved you, like a prophecy coming due to me
I have always been you, been you every century
little drinks for cavern eyes, startled glis backology
daughters red white water lines split their genes to suit a grey
fuzzy sadfit morrow swim, get yourself accelerate,
sorry now infolding in she's going to give to be herself
I have always loved you, like a prophecy coming totally
my room's above you, it's the sunset of a century
so many society
saw you alone
how long now
how many more
majesty laments, razor wire drives this place
now is your turn to do those born of steady field
seize your hand and run with you
sonic fields past plastic youth
fatal rainbows fall apart
everywhere we're what we are
I have always loved you, memory calling every
fire blooms above above you, from the west end of the century
Oh Deadly Death
This is the fifth song on the recording. I suspect my effort to transcribe it is a bit less error filled than some of the other ones, but it still isn't 100% accurate. Thanks for your help!
Oh deadly death I have lay and longed for you
I hold my breath in darken room
and no one shows how to live
outside the screen of televisions
oh razor blade, you set my arms to light a bed and fruit to a life
and no one knows how good it feels to come so close
to come so real to come so
I can know
I can forget
there's always you, there's always one thing left
there's always
(guitar solo)
Oh lovely life, I think I know your works
100 proof you did your worst, you let me go almost first, along your way
a different curve
I found my way
I found my way
I found my way
Black Art
I apologize that much of this is nonsense - but it's what I hear in the recording. If it were easier to make out I wouldn't be asking for the collective help of the internet. This is the fourth song, "Black Art."
the truth that all cats know
alone is best
it's a state of rest
let your ghost go west
and a paint yourself
space age thank aid
I'll put paint in a couch of shame
the world was here when I valued you
little thing
just let me down easy
and I would smile, and walk that mile
and your heart breaks east
favors a raincoat
color taught
what's left to lose
I could be your friend
we could be raintroops
when the world was bright
it's a knuckle fight
and trickle night
but there's more to life
then killing bulls and fish
could have said excuses learned
and we're alive
and we can't stop
show our eyes
another night
so lets come find
the complex
I could be your boy I guess as cool as this
no matters in my mystery
I don't want to be alone anymore
not enough scare or bored I just do
(guitar solo)
til then be shima
which one belongs to a pycho cyst
and hara kare with a smith corona, what the fuck
left arm on the right way
we can't go back, or we can't go on
I could be your boy
and you could be this song
so you better pack
your gonna lose this kid
I am not your sordid boy
with so much to give
