The songs...

Realistic (M.Nickras, J.Nickras, B.Casio)..........2:57

Start, Stop, Synchro Tempo
Grade one under plan nine
Valhommen to all
November four ninety-four
Was a day
Walking in the street
Walking in the tree
Give it the credit I deserve
While writing with a block of coal
Upon the paper of this scroll
Or fold out
Ahhh, in, Ahhh, by the way
If your dog has raped and killed
Twenty people, don't go on the
Evening news to tell the world...
I thought I was my friend
I thinkun something went
Under my skun
Under my skull
In my brain, quite the same
As at for blow as a stepping stone
One inhale, four is a...
What is this crap
I'll kick its grass upon your foot
Shut me up
What?

 

Grave Tippin (J.Nickras, M.Nickras)..........3:06

I can't even imagine real dinosaurs
But we play with them everyday
They're my best friends
I love you, I love you dinosaurs
Let's go to Scotland
Big yellow goofy ball like one
No more pot for you
Big Brother's drooling over my shoulder
I'm gonna drop a gun
And yell, oh yeah, yell
Until someone goes or comes
What's his problem
Don't you want to be wronged
And stand up for something
And shout and scream
The coffee is too hot oh, oh
I can't breath
There is oxygen in the air
No more sidewalks
Scrape my knees
Love, love, happiness is safety from everything
Or lots of money

 

This (M.Nickras)..........2:34

Pitiful and secondarily meaningful (4x)
Distant and unaware (4x)
Running with the bag of intelligence (3x)
Running from the bag of intelligence
Staying far away (3x)
Crying in the sunny day
I mustn't need you
Or this
Pitiful and secondarily meaningful (3x)
To this, to this, to this, to this
And me

 

Something to Drink On (J.Nickras, M.Nickras)..........2:09

Chuga luga luga
7 kinds of fruit in Hawaiian Punch
Muncha muncha babuncha

 

It's So (J.Nickras, M.Nickras)..........1:17

Inspiration dry
Resting on the rot
Too much time
Lift me on the mantle
Never any time
Clockwork hollow clear
Suns swallow up darkness again
Blowing out the windows
Blowing out the mind
All carved up
No place to go
It's so big

 

Golf (M.Nickras)..........1:40

You hit the ball
You hit a wall
The club is swung
The door is rung
The ball goes far
The wall stops there
Your club does bend
Your door does fend
Someone hid your ego
Something shot your knee too
You hit the ball
The club was swung
The ball goes far
Your club does bend
You hit a wall
The wall stops there
The door is rung
The door does fend

 

Drink to the Auks (J.Nickras)..........2:15

Drink to your health
Let's drink to your life
One for the many long years
Two for the non-tragic finale
Three for the long ride home
Four for the fast, the only way
Five for the no brush-in with authority
Vandals, vandals
Why you want to be so heartless
And do that which you do
Scattered along the floor
A checker board, marble, and an empty bottle of Big K
Geometrically scattered to form a plane
The auks, the auks
See the auks, see the auks
Hear the auks, hear the auks
Listen, listen, the auks the auks
Be the auks, be the auks
Everyone love the auks
Know your way home
Left of depression, straight ahead to blithen

 

I Wanna Records (J.Nickras) [live]..........3:22

I heard that corporate rock still sucks
So make your homestead in a cottage
Have your limited potential dreaming of smiley turtle
Maybe one day you will make it big time

(chorus)
But I wanna records
But I wanna records
But I wanna records
But I wanna records
And I want em now

Cruz, Simple Solution, Twin Tone, Mutant Renegade,
New Alliance, Medussa, Boing

(chorus)

 

Holes in Her Blue (M.Nickras) [live]..........1:05

(chorus)
What she may, what she may, what she may do
Gone today, gone today, gone away through

Trip, trip, trip, trip, slip
Plit-brain
Left of time right
Signum, signum, sigh
Gone today
Trip, trip, trip, slip
Plit-brain
Please train, refrain
Split-brain

(chorus)

Can't cry, not for you
