Clever White Youth
Time : 3:10
Words & music : Marc Ribot
Release(s) : Recorded live at The Astoria II, London, February 16th, 1995
Clever white youths with attitudes
that's what the world is today
We sing a song about the alien nation
Hey, hey, hey
All you little white boys with nice haircut
We'll entertain you so
And play the little electric guitar
to the little finger beat
Clever white youths with attitude
that's what the world is today
We sing a song about the alien nation
Hey, hey, hey
All you little white boys with decent haircuts
We'll satisfy your entertainment needs
And play the little electric guitar
to the little finger beat
Clever white youths with attitude
that's what the world is today
We sing a song about the alien nation
Hey, hey, hey
Difficult Day
Time : 2:07
Music : dEUS
Words : dEUS
Release(s): 'Roses' CD-single (CD1)
I'm not demoting clumsiness as a cuteless trick
It's just the bottom of the bacon, always makes me sick
You know it's fighting over matter, every time I see you
But it seems it's a lot of that that makes you blue
I've got so much love to give (4 times)
Yeah !
You see I'm twenty-four, all I've got is memories
Arrive at twenty-five and all you seem to have is me
Now I don't wanna be flame, I don't wanna be cooking
It's just the only thing I ever, ever could be
I've got so much love to give (4 times)
Hours I'm waiting, Hours I'll wait
I got (subtagious ?), I'll get my way
On this, difficult a day
Everything Is The Same (Except No One Believes Me)
Time : 2:29
Words : Barman
Music : Carlens
Release(s): 'Little Arithmetics' CD-single (CD1)
It's still the same but |
no one believes me |(x5)
It ain't no nice shot
It takes all to please me
You've got a hotspot
No one will cheese me
It's still the same but
no one believes me
Everything's the same but
no one believes me
Lots of talking
goin' around
Nothing changed, except they don't believe me...
Glovesong
Time : 3:41
Music : Barman
Words : Barman
Release(s): My sister = my clock (1-track mini-EP: (21:36)-(25:17))
Her mother sells handgloves
and seems to be making a living
Her boyfriend takes lots of speed
and a little while ago he cast some kind of voodoo-spell on Stef
I got really scared, because I don't trust that South-American wizardry
You know they're both very small people
and they like to go out
but he can't dance and she never dances
One day I asked her if her mother could design
this specific kind of handglove for her spastic frame of mind
But anyway, what's it to you
One-million ways I'll peck, I'll chew
You're always high on everything
I'm so damn nervous let's begin
It needs four fingers on the one hand, I said
and six on the other
Some fingers are remarkebly smaller than others
but that's kinda not normal I guess, I mean it's natural
She gave me a velvet smile
Okay, she said, okay
I'll see what I can do,
but I won't promise anything
So anyway, what's that to you
One-million ways I'll peck, I'll chew
You're always high on everything
I'm so damn nervous let's begin
The final dream keeps coming back
It's straight down sex, no love, I lack - Turn away, I'm away, I'm a big-decay I'm away
Your always high on everything - Turn away, I'm away, I'm a big-decay I'm away
I'm so damn down, can't see a thing (7x) - Turn away, I'm away, I'm a big-decay I'm away
Turn away, I'm away, I'm a big-decay I'm away (x6)
To find it's only a colour to her (x3)
Hotellounge (Be The Death Of Me) (live)
Time : 11:13
Music : Barman/Trouvé
Words : Barman
Release(s): Limited 'Roses' CD-single featuring an alternative version of 'Roses'
"This elevator only takes one down", she said,
"this place, in this hotel lounge
it's my daily bread...
but I'm underfed"
He asked:
"are you living in the night?
'cause I can tell you have a lousy imagination
as a matter of speaking
I hate this situation...
but it happens to be one of my pickin'"
"'Cause it's so hard
to keep the dream alive
But if it all comes down to this
how will..."
Because you move me, you move me
You move me around around, I guess
I'll take it back your analogue
It's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me
You move me around around, I guess
I'll take it back your analogue
It's on the other side of this
But if it all comes down to this
mmmmmhhh...
But then she said:
"do you have another cigarette ?"
'Cause I tend to forget
I hoisted the flag
it just keeps hanging down
"You know this place, this hotel lounge
It's my life, it's my choice
And I'm in love
with Ricky Lee Jones' voice"
'Cause it's so hard
to keep the dream alive
But if it all comes down to this
how will...
How will glamour survive ?
'cause you move me, you move me
You move me around around, I guess
I'll take it back your analogue
It's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me |
You move me around around, I guess |
I'll take it back your analogue |
It's on the other side of this |(x2)
But if it all comes down to this...
"This elevator..."
"Do you see that man
in the left-hand corner
Do you see that woman
their love-story is famous"
I read all about...
No one can stop it all from crashing down to shit
Push the few and something more than just the sound of it
Time, time is the magic truth of story
Sometimes magic is so very, very boring
It's a healthy kind of sick
A slow sort of quick
I'm very sad, I don't feel bad at all
It's a different sort of the same
A crazy kind of sane
A feeling without a name that they call love
Because I have my doubts, I know it must be true
I watch the dream die every day, I don't know what to do
I know it's only fear that makes me wonder
But I wonder why I'm so afraid
Yes, I wonder why I'm so afraid (x4)

But if it all comes down to this...
"This elevator only takes one down", she said,
"this place in this same old town
I can't get around, I wish I'd found
some place else to stay"
I was twenty-four when my heart stopped beating (x2)
Oh what a feeling
Cold supper, mind cropper, I can't follow the pace
can't follow the pace, of this dealing
dealing, healing
I was twenty-four when my breath stopped breathing
"This elevator only takes one down", she said,
"this place, this place, this place
in this same hotel"
I Suffer Rock
Time : 2:33

Words : Barman/Carlens
Release(s): 'Roses' CD-single (CD1)
I was twenty-four when my heart stopped beating
Oh what a feeling
I'm not talking about the rest
Cold supper, mind cropper, follow the pace, of this dealing
I hit the ceiling by the few, I'm not too impressed
Lonely nights, don't do me suicide
I just can't help to stay awake at night
And now it's shake-a-shake-a-shake
I was twenty-four when my breath stopped breathing
Internal bleeding and frontal pain in my chest
In the dark, a lonely night
My mind goes solo
And anyway what's that
In the dark, a handsome light
My head spins only
Only you and me
In-To-kyo Town
But now I hit the ground
I was twenty-four when my heart stopped dreaming
Oh what a feeling
And I'm not talking about the rest
Lonely nights, don't do me suicide
I suffer rock, it almost had me died
And now I'm breakin' achin' it

My Wife Jan
Time : 3:17
Music : Barman
Words : Barman/Carlens
Release(s): 'Little Arithmetics' CD-single (CD1)
All you little sex-machines
Why is it you always get me wrong ?
When I'm ready
I sing you by the big-eyed blues
'Cause big-eyed girls are better left unsung
Do you get it ?
Do you get it ?
All you little sweet dolphines
Adapt me, draw me and your culture scene
'Cause your niece said
But your niece said
And I just threw my harp away
I just threw my blues away
And I'll just throw my life away,
but keep my head on straight
'Cause my wife Jan - ain't gonna like it !
My wife Jan - ain't gonna like it ! (x2)
If I take it off today... no way
All you little sex-machines
Why is it you always get me wrong ?
When I'm ready
And I'm ready
Sing me by the big-eyed blues
'Cause big-eyed girls are better left unsung
Do you get it ?
Do you get it ?
'Cause I just threw my harp away
And I just threw my blues away
And I'll just throw my life away
But keep that head on straight
'Cause my wife Jan - ain't gonna like it !
My wife Jan - ain't gonna like it ! (x2)
Everybody is talking about things
I just cannot really do
They just don't understand
As a boy, what I am attracted to
All you little sex-machines
Why is it you always get me wrong ?
When I'm ready
And I'm ready
I'll sing you by the big-eyed blues
'Cause big-eyed girls are better left unsung
Do you get it ?
Do you get it ?
Niche
Sophisticated underwear on a short vacation
cause the bravest, nippiest, most elegant female woman
shouldn't be, shouldn't be
targeted at a two to eleven year old crowd of plastic like
weasels
easy going
easy gone
squeeze it into a song
too much credit for something that wrong
Bedweiser blues (Bedweiser)
then: combining wildlife footage and Hollywood names
on the door of a Belgian toilet
that means 0.5 an your scale of shameful situations
and a square 7.6 on my scale of risky and extremely risky
operations
How now plug it in to a transrelational socket ??
I knew what I was doing, fuck it
Bedweiser blues (Bedweiser)
Bedweiser blues
More wrinkled than the entire Redgrave-family
she raped my talent for simulated ignorance
silent in the night we lay

Music : Ward
Words : Ward

Only A Colour To Her
Time : 4:02
Words : Barman/Ward
Music : Barman/Carlens
Release(s): My sister = my clock (1-track mini-EP: (7:20)-(11:22))
As the silverbullet finds the moose
and tragic tragic, clips a lip
I don't want to be up tune
A reason find it her shape-a-hip
I guess that is through which, which which
which for you to choose
A choice of voice
on a sexy veil
As a tipple steed duck
A tattooed goose
As forgetting when, but knowing how
Okay
Let her call you and finds a party to booze
He's so clever and he sighs
about lost love, lost face in man that booze
and minds between a woman's thighs
The logic and the schizophrenia
There the pope that might brake down
Oh come on, it is all and one too many her
Decay was my own cake
and brown was just a colour to her
Just a colour to her (x3)
I am red and yellow, that's a habit of mine
So meet my shaking hamster
You see a rainbow ain't no sunshine
and a wheelchair ain't no bremser
'Cause as the silverbullets finds the moose
And tragic tragic, clips a lip
I do not want to be up choose
A reason find it her shake-a-hip
It's just a colour to her (x2)
Overflow
Time : 3:27
Words & music : Barman
Release(s) : 'Theme From Turnpike' CD-single
A tribute to my friends
the ones I left behind
the ones that didn't leave me behind
A tribute to my friends
for whom our happy time
would be in better hands
Overflow, overflow
here I go, I overflow
A tribute to pretend
a kiss of God
It was just some accident
just a little somethin'
I did not impose
just merely chose
to recommend
Overflow, overflow
here I go, I overflow
Do you like the sound?
there's a crack in my window
Do you like the sound?
there's a wrinkle in my pillow
We're coming to the end
a handsome train has left
but it will come again
Overflow, overflow
here I go, I overflow
Sweet Child O'Mine
Time : 1:54
Music : a certain corporate "rock" band
Words : corporate rock still sucks !
Release(s): Studio session recorded in London, March 15th, 1995
She got a smile and it seems to me
Remind me of childhood memories
Her everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
And now and then, when I see her face
and she takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long, I'd probably brake down and cry
Oohh, sweet child o'mine (x2)
She got eyes of the bluest skies
that if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes
and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a wanting place
where as a child, I'd hide behind
And pray for the thunder in the sky
to quietly pass me by
Oohh, sweet child o'mine (x2)

Crush came over time
I shoulda been here, I shoulda been there
For a long time
Oh baby, baby I pray in order
thy void recorders
won't ever bother you
I got free space to occupy
In case they wipe away your signs
But I didn't play
But I got traced down
They came close to close for me
I think they always been in charge
They're complicated memories
Oh yeah, they must have been
They must have known that you were here
I think they're always well informed
Oh yeah, they're always well informed
They know about you and I |
They heard about you and I |(x2) - This is self-inflicted
They know about you and I (x2) - This is self-inflicted
They heard about you and I - This is self-inflicted
They know about you and I (x2) - This is self-inflicted
- Is this, this is self-inflicted
- This is self-inflicted
They heard about you and I - This is self-inflicted
- Is this self-inflicted ?
They know about you and I - Is this, is it inflicted ?
Self-inflicted
This is self-inflicted
Is this inflicted ?

Self-inflicted
This is in self-in
It is self-inflicted

I'm on a boat |
I'm not at home |(x2)
Don't have a boat
Don't have a home
I'm on a boat
The stories that you told me
sure they made me laugh
Now the ruckus in my headband
works on your behalf
I don't want you to go
The way is not the way
I don't want you to follow
the way I am today
The secrets you had for me
I found them in the yard
Need I say I just knew you'd play
it dirty from the start
I don't want you to go
The way is not the way
I don't want you to follow
the way I am today
This house has got an ashtray problem
This house lives by the minute
This house contains two people
who just never want me in it
I don't want you to go
The way is not the way
I don't want you to follow
the way I am today

I skipped the part about love
Skip-a-skip-skop
I'm gonna hit it and against the clock
I'm gonna hit it and against the clock, hit it (x2)
Every minute and against the clock, hit it

Worried About Satan
Time : 1:06
Words & music : Barman/Ward
Release(s) : 'Theme From Turnpike' CD-single
The years they must be good to you it seems
And we share our dissevered gene
And he's twenty-five sittin' and no complaining
He says you gotta be over the fuzz
You remind even me
That I'm not an absentee
Fuck 'em all, but you mean
And you say you want rid of me
You're not kidding me !
Who's she gonna mary at all
And his face is half of a ball
And he's just been flattering his ??? doubling
He's staring all over this wall
But he thinks he's allowed
To be smothering in love
But he knows he's a cheese
He's ??? shrubbery
This kinda robbery
Zea
Shoulda known it from the start
It's just the way, the way things are
Makes you think, well doesn't it
How I talked to you in this shit
Now the consequences toll inside my head
Now the consequences toll inside my head
Dea see you back some time again
You proved it and it makes sense
It takes a God to be your man
Didn't know you played the violin
Had no idea the shape you're in
That's no excuse for anything
All I wanna do is have my way with you
Tell me wouldn't it be cool
If I just had my way with you
What I'm saying it ain't new
But it's true
that the girl you choose is the one
that will screw the guy next to you
Shoulda known it from the start
But who knows where and who knows how far
This is leading me
Tell me wouldn't it be cruel
If this wasn't mutual
As usual
Dea see you back some time again
You proved it and it makes sense
It takes a God to be your man
Didn't know you played the violin
Had no idea the shape you're in
That's no excuse for anything
You should see me
You should see me
You should see me squandering my days
And you should see your smiling face
And second hand sorrow
All your troubles wear my autograph
I wasn't born to make you laugh
And I ain't no habit you'd like to have
Now the consequences toll inside my head
