Guttersnipe 02:18
Well I can hear them sneer at me Their insults resound like a scream Their hate inexorably sticks on my skin Retorting has always been my Achilles heel I would like to turn it upside down I'm just a tiny scrawny boy Who brings the other to a boil A guttersnipe is only a heavy burden So I'll forever roam under the drizzle I'm gonna turn it upside down I'd like to find comfort To ease my heart Caroline you left to soon Why should I keep on walking … without you ? And I will leave these rotten streets Where indifference is a queen I'll cut myself, I'll put an end to my pain Stop lightning my candle Pete my friend I'm gonna turn it upside down ____

Mr Pigman 03:57
They're everywhere you stare You'll have no respite from pain They're coming 'round They're dragging 'round to steal your money They nearly missed you With your innocent look Hunted by lights You didn't appear quite bright, you silly guy Mr Pigman, we want all of you Mr Pigman, you're burning too Mr Pigman, you know what to do Mr Pigman, you're not out of the wood You couldn't think straight Pushing you down in a nightmare They wanna get you, they wanna get you to steal your fucking money Mr Pigman, we know all of you Mr Pigman, you're burning too Mr Pigman, we're all watching you Mr Pigman, you're not out of the wood Mr Pigman, we know all of you Mr Pigman, you're burning too Mr Pigman, we're all watching you Mr Pigman, you're not out of the wood ____

Allright that was funny That's what you tried to tell me But I started to cry That was not so much your story But the trick you played on me That resounds like a shriek And when stare with your vicious eyes It suddenly came as a ballistic missile ! Anywhere and anyhow Your tricks are betrayal As sharp as a knife Through the night Through my mind Won't you gimme no respite And when stare with your cheating eyes It suddenly came as a ballistic missile hence ! Your silence is golden Your brain is a weapon Then you whispers : "Hold on …" The gear is engaged Engaged to irradiate Grinded are my words Anyway, I've never loved your world And when stare with your double dealing eyes It suddenly came as a ballistic missile ! ____

Memories pulse ahead inside of me Carry on your stupid dreams Reinforce my weakly veins Inject me with your, inject me with your jive Give the future back to me I'm becoming dolly Give me something to believe My heart can't help bleeding You'll never know how painful it is Whenever I breathe, my heart misses a beat My heart murmur intensifies, shall I die ? Memories slowly smash to smithereens Sparkling over my closest twin You've been reported missing Since the I.R.A. stormed that fucking day You'll never know how painful it is Whenever I breathe, my heart misses a beat Shall I wake up the next morning ? My heart murmur intensifies, shall I die ? ____

You tell me that you've got everything you want And your bird can sing but you don't get me You don't get me You say you've seen seven wonders And your bird is green but you can't see me You can't see me When your prized possessions Start to weigh you down Look in my direction I'll be round, I'll be round When your bird is broken Will it bring you down ? You may be awoken I'll be round, I'll be round You tell me that you've heard every sound there is And your bird can swing but you can't hear me You can't hear me ____

Let me, let me know where have they gone Let me, let me hear them once again Please let me know No I don't want to feel outside You know one night I'll come upstairs And the truth will appear to me straight Stop telling me cock'n'bull stories Got to keep my tears instead of watering Even if my road is full of twists Oh I'm falling Daddy, mummy, you're slipping away from me You know one night I'll come upstairs And the truth will appear to me straight Stop telling me cock'n'bull stories Daddy, I'm walking on a rope Mummy, I'm overcome with fear Daddy, I'm fitting to drop Mummy, I wish you were here You know one night I'll come upstairs And the truth will appear to me straight Stop telling me cock'n'bull stories

Sometimes we feel getting down Lost in the dullness of this town The streets are empty The weight of silence is so heavy Yes we're in a great distress Our land is in a mess No more trees in sight Just ... in the coldness of the night It's not a nice place to hide There, nothing you will find You wander all alone In a disaster zone The buildings are destroyed And there's no life anymore Shall we strong enough To face the desire to get off We're not sheltered from a setback From theses shakles on our backs No more hope in sight Just some coldness of our hearts It's not a nice place to hide There, nothing you will find You wander all night long In a disaster zone ____

Ripperland 02:43
Somewhere in the deepest Ripperland Buried in the hollow of your hands All the sprites a re coming back When all the children begins to sleep tight We need a brand new hero, Scare - Crawl into the golden, nice den of Scarecrowl We need a brand new hero, Scare - Crawl into the delight dream This story happened one winter night In the holy kingdom of the Tawny cat Everybody there was fond of him Except his enemy the sickly Swift We need a brand new hero, Scare - Crawl into the golden, nice den of Scarecrowl We need a brand new hero, Scare - Crawl into the delight dream If you take a look at this story You may think the verses are too easy Keep in mind a Scarecrowl hero is something to be We need a brand new hero, Scare - Crawl into the golden, nice den of Scarecrowl We need a brand new hero, Scare - Crawl into the delight dream ____

Rainclouds 02:44
The fire darkens The wood turns black The flame extinguishes upon us God sets out In search of sun The rainbow sparkles in his hand And the bow of The divine hunter Heard the lamentation of his children He walks along the milky way He collects the stars With quick arms he piles them into a basket Song for the Sun Disappearing behind the Rainclouds Piles them up With quick arms Like a women that collects lizards Piles them into her pot Piles them until the pot overflows with lizards ____

F.L.Y. 03:22
We heard that in the daily news They managed to needle you Your story had to fizzle out You couldn't had made it out You felt unshakeable with your faithful guns But you haven't got a leg to stand on What does it mean to you to find Yourself on the wrong track ? To be flat broke, to weep at night To lead a common way of life You may feel quite uncomfortable But there's nothing to shout about Cowardly fink like you can't last Cowardly fink like you can't last Cowardly fink like you can't last I will carry out my plans But I also need more time You're just a bird of ill-omen Jeering at the established government Stuff and nonsense is your motto So why don't you leave and go ? We don't need libertines in our society I'll question your standards of livings Cowardly fink like you can't last Cowardly fink like you can't last Cowardly fink like you can't last Cowardly fink like you can't last You thought me bad The role in which you confined me was inadequate With my leaving, I'll purge your air Even so I'll try to blow your cares away We don't need libertines in our society I'll question your standards of livings Cowardly fink like you can't last Cowardly fink like you can't last Cowardly fink like you can't last You became famous overnight Your downfall happens by right Cowardly fink like you can't last Cowardly fink like you can't last Cowardly F.L.Y. can't last Cowardly F.L.Y. can't last ____

Oh I feel unshakeable with my faithful guns Whether it's night, whether it's day Whether it shines, whether it rains Nobody meddles with me, they're too cowardly to make it I think I strike it lucky, to make myself respected Oh I'm bored stiff when my pint's empty Before waking up, after dressing up Before falling asleep, after eating The salon seems to be packed And there's a brawl about Some guy oversteps the bounds The tone is getting high, the tone is getting high My schedule is shock-a-block full And everybody's got to respect the rules I think I strike it lucky No one is sheltered from stumbling someday I'll make them go into the right way, the right way

about

These tracks are pre-production working tracks. They were recorded on 4 analog tracks. Perfection & quality were not the point but it gives a good idea of how the band was sounding like in 1996.
