“Amplifier Blues”
My poor amplifier
Weeping through its wires
For the stupid rock songs
The stupid pop songs
The stupid rock songs
(The stupid!)
Never any rest
For this stereo set
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Cables and the cords
Mine connect to yours
For the stupid love songs
The stupid pop songs
The stupid love songs
(The stupid!)
Never any rest
For this stereo set
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
(Repeat)
You got a little bit of love (won’t you give it to me?)
You got a little bit of love (won’t you give it to me?)
Honey child, she just rips right through me
You got a little, you got a little
(Repeat) - Track Name: Brittanica

“Brittanica”
Head like the Brittanica
Full of facts, et cetera
Paper thin adds up to thick
But what is at the heart of it?
Heart like the Antarctica
The parts where no one goes
A careful, calm, constructed face
Your calculus is cold
You’ve got the weapon in you
You lay me out
Instant incinerator
Oh, my blood’s so blue
I’m gonna take it, take it, take it
Take it from you
In my thoughts ad nauseum
Until my heart’s the same
I try to keep the cool intact
But you disintegrate
You’ve got the weapon in you
You lay me out
Efficient decimator
Oh, my blood’s so blue
I’m gonna take it, take it, take it
Take it from you
(Repeat)
Who died?
Who died?
Who died and made you unattainable?
Inside
Inside there is nothing
But a long, long list
Of the things you think you know - Track Name: The Colossal Sound

“The Colossal Sound”
Hey I hope you’re ready for the super heavy separator
Picks you up and lifts you like a twenty-button elevator
I wish that the mornings were evenings & afternoons
They’re over so soon
Woah, woah! (2x)
Hey I hope you’re ready for the ultrasonic operator!
Chews you up and spits you like a hot and bothered alligator
I want in the mornings & evenings to be with you
It’s all I do
The sound is colossal, you know when it’s got you
At home in the teeth of the mouth of the beast
The evening is teething and leaving you bleeding
Hey I hope you’re ready for the–
Hey I hope you’re ready for the–
Hey I hope you’re ready for the super heavy separator - Track Name: Curriculum

“Curriculum”
You were a strict curriculum
And I was the month of May
Doing battle on a sunny day
At the bicentennial
I was dressed so casual
I was dressed like any other girl
You were a strict curriculum
And I was an August breeze
Baby, did I bring you to your knees?
At the bicentennial
Your voice a pleading animal
I was dressed like any other girl
I can tell which way you’d like to go
Oh, my love
My only one
Just promise me
That you won’t run
Oh, my love
My greatest fear
That I will wake
Without you here
(Repeat)
Run!
You were a strict curriculum
You were a strict curriculum - Track Name: Acetaminophen

“Acetaminophen”
Darling, you have got the Celsius I need
The perfect centigrade, a million degrees
And when you’re rising up
I never get enough
So tell me when you’re coming back
Chorus:
When the sun burns out
We will harness your energy
When the lights go down
I will hold you next to me
And when you’re breathing in
Acetaminophen
And I am giving it right back
Darling, you have got my favorite Fahrenheit
Moving up my mercury, a fever I can’t hide
And when it’s rising up
I never get enough
So tell me when you’re coming back
Chorus
When the sun burns out… (4x)
Chorus
