How much vegetation have you got?
Not a thing uppermost in the minds of girls
Yet what a desert we create
In the name of the great exfoliate
On pain of dermal aggravation
She opts for female sanitation
Oh animal kingdom begins here
Vegetable kingdom begins here
Animal kingdom begins here
Vegetable kingdom begins here
How much vegetation have you got?
Slack mi fatty bastis full of beasts
Enzymes do the protein march
Enzymes do the protein march
Enzymes do the protein march
Enzymes do the protein march
Enzymes do the protein march
Enzymes do the protein march
Enzymes do the protein march
Enzymes do the protein march
An ecosystem much alive
Attacked by corporate hygiene
The great brillo of modern life
Rape razing in the name of clean
Oh animal kingdom begins here
Vegetable kingdom begins here
Animal kingdom begins here
Vegetable kingdom begins here

My name is Mary Houdini
I am an escapologist
Quick limbed and versatile
Bet your life can escape from anything
My name is Mary Houdini
There she was, now she's not
There she was, now she's not
Quick as a flash in a frying pan
My name is Mary Houdini
The technology of escapology
Is something difficult and not for the novice
La Houdini's escapability
Thrills the crowd with its impossibility
La la La Houdini
La la La Houdini

She went a walking down the street
She saw the ground beneath her feet
She heard the ground begin to hum
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song
And then she looked from left to right
But there was nobody in sight
Save but a humming in the ears
But it is not what it appears.
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song
And then the ground begins to swell
And then herself she swells as well
She blew up like a fatted kite
And flitted far away from sight
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song
Sounds like a ringing singing song

She is blind to him
Bad is bad is she don't know
She is blind to him
Saving her best for his pleasure
She's a bind to him
She saw with clearer eyes once
She is blind to him
Touching the hem of his fancy
More than you more than you ever know
More than you more than you ever know
More than you more than you ever know
More than you more than you ever know

“Do you fell like a street caress?
You're nice
You've got a nice face
Girl”
Whether you do
Whether or not
That's what you get
That's what you get
Do you wear a propriety frock?
Do you wear it?
In the road?
Whether you do
Whether or not
Your face is naked
Or is it clothed
Makes no difference
Makes no difference
A street caress
That's what the dwarf said
Whether you do
Whether or not
Your face is naked
Or is it clothed
Makes no difference
In the road
Go
Dwarf
He said to me
Dwarf
Dwarf
Dwarf
Oh dwarf

Seems like we're still in the kitchen
A pease-broth brought to boil
Stuck in a terminal stir
Chucking it all in the air
But the sky don't throw it back
No the sky don't throw it back
Sun's face is oil, sun's face is black
Sun's face is oil, sun's face is oil
What is it weighs on your brain-box?
Is it the closeness of weather?
Or are you allergic to garbage?
Hankering after escape routes
Everyone's frantically cooking
Everyone's frantically cooking
Sun's face is oil, sun's face is black
Sun's face is oil, sun's face is black
Measured per metre, we're done for
Cubits of dross upon each head
I'm wearing a hat
That reaches through ozone

The Rain It Raineth

The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella
But more upon the just because
The unjust steals the just's umbrella
The justly man is thus condemned,
Attrition and a life of constant rain.
The unjust man is not disturbed
For one man's loss another's natural gain.
Oh woe, oh woe is he,
Oh woe, oh woe is he, oh woe.
The justly man will thus erode
And unjust men the world will overrun
There'll be no more of charity
And rainclouds shall pile up across the sun
Oh woe, oh woe is he,
Oh woe, oh woe is he, oh woe.

Hunger for a Way Out

Can't listen w/o hearing Young Marble Giants, but a more nervous, taut take. All the tracks are great, but can't stop humming the title to myself.

What a GREAT album! It has been a while since I found an album that I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping. Classic Ian MacKaye vocals. Amy Farina absolutely kills it on drums. I hadn't heard of Joe Lally on Bass, but really enjoyed his singing/bass. I highly advise checking this out. You'll get hooked. I love "Clean Kill" but "BQM" does it for me (love the beat). Congrats Coriky! Nicely done! Can't wait to see you live!!!
