I think there's something, outside in the cold. It happened yesterday Tipped my hat and walked away I feel the freezing cold pass through my soul Feels like they're here I don't think they'll remember me though statues offer roses to me Arms outstretched for all to see Stay away from my mind It's all I have Stay away from her clothes They're all she has SOIL [German phone operator: 'This number is disconnected and no longer in service'] Seeping from soil The juices of lust that once held me at bay I'll probably love you for a million years Now is the time when all good great things come to mind Don't waste your time waiting for great things to come to mind I've waited for one thousand years to die I GLIDE Somebody knows our past works remain on display just like then It's the same today Glide with me I glide Now, I'm scared of the rain I think it can see me when I'm gliding again Somebody sings Dreams it brings And then when I broke the spell no one ever said that I would win Just like then It's the same today MICE & COCONUT TREE Trees filled, monkeys It never did nothing for their special something So splits all diversion Animal smells donning the flat sand, there's no other good life It's accepted when food's free The kill goes down, down down Illness like healthy There lost in the high tree Time smells of something else libidoish now Just like it should be They eat it down, down, down It's got to be like mice and coconut tree It's got to be the morrow different they'll see like mice and coconut tree SMILING MONARCHS You told me something I couldn't forget I'll always be grateful to you I told you something I'll aways regret I guess I don't know what to do. And it's a sun-shiny day outside I'd like to fly away I just need reasons to go (repeated) My life is filled with the greens of the trees and the blues of the sea It's something time slipped away from me Do you drift far away when the leaves from the trees have all burned I drifted somewhere and never returned It all seems so wrong today The smiling monarchs run away DINNER Don't wait for the sun Find your cross, the holy one Before I'm at your door, I call your house I'm quiet as a mouse Hands that crave your skin Wipe drool from his chin Locks won't last all night Won't last all night Beg God for morning's light But go ahead and beg away Plead with Jesus for the day But Satan has such different plans Your soul is inches from his hands The door explodes, I'm here I smell your scent, so near It's too late to run, I'm in your house You'll melt in my mouth SPAGHETTI WESTERN Through the prairie I ride I hear their horses four hundred strong My horse grows weary All night I ride They try to catch me But I cannot stop The rope it awaits me My friends they are dead They died in the town The sheriff he shot them My tears make no sound If only I'd listened Listened to Papa Oh Paco I'll miss you And Fredrico I'll miss you too La la la la la la allah La la la la la la allah La la la la la la allah WHERE WHITIE AIN'T ALLOWED voice #1: "Where you goin'?" voice #2: "Where whitie ain't allowed!" (at 0:33) Yeah...oh yeah! PRESS ESCAPE Make a guess with a liberal decision Make a mess with a liberal precision That's what I do when I'm with you Do you know what my name is? Don't expect too much from me, I'm too boring to go with you anywhere But that won't stop me from being (repeated) LAUGH AT YOURSELF Attend more sense than I can buy in a daydream Attend more sense than I can buy what you're thinking Buy me So take all I have But that's all I have To stand on you And I need to Attend more sense is all you need to relieve me Attend more sense and then I'll know What you do to me So take all I have But that's all I have I hold my breath The glass it say Someday Someday Someday SUFFERIN' TARNATION (SURF WESTERN) Oh no That mean is beating his dog again My neighbor beats his dog every day I can't stand his dog when it walks that way Sometimes it seems We'll never reach the river Never reach the river My friend is named Flicka She kicks me in the stomach every day I love her to death when she kicks that way PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK The movie is over Tears tickling our face as it ends I almost felt good inside Till the part where the hero died Notes * The version of 'Soil' on AB-CD reverts back to the version on the original Southwest Audio Reproductions release, and is different than the one on the Caroline version of Eureka, the latter being a shorter edit not including the phone operator intro. * On 'The Other Side of the Fence' at 3:36, there's a off-key note in the keyboard riff. This is is also present in the IPR Archive Series reissue, proving it's the same recording, but is much less audible, due to the keyboard being lower in the (superior) mix. * Possible mastering fault at 3:12 on 'I Glide', at least on my CD copy. * The booklet leaves out the 'greens of the trees and blues of the sea' and the 'it all seems so wrong today' verses on Smiling Monarchs. * The lyrics of 'Laugh At Yourself' aren't included in the booklet. Possible mastering fault at 2:20. * Panic In Needle Park is likely named for (and about) the 1971 movie starring Al Pacino and Kitty Winn portraying heroin junkies in Manhattan's 'Needle park'.
