Chlorine 02:34
Chlorine is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17. It has a relative atomic mass of 35.5. within the halogen group 17 it is the second lightest halogen following fluorine. The element is a yellow-green gas under standard conditions where it forms diatonic molecules. Furthermore, chlorine has the highest electron affinity and the third highest electronegativity of all the reactive elements. For this reason chlorine is a strong oxidising agent, used within industries for production, bleaching and disinfection, and you might be familiar with the odour from industrial cleaning or reminiscent from communal swimming. I doubt the quality of shit you're selling It's chlorine not coke that I'm smelling I'm great, I feel great, hey you're great, you look great We should bring our sleeping bags and stay the night This is a great place, we're all great, we're all great We're all great, we're all fucking great!

Ships 06:33
Look, thirty principal stars Fifteen above, fifteen below He said a planet is a wandering star At regular intervals passing from above to below Abandoning inferior depths to rise to sublime altitudes Of these seven planets Two good, two nefarious, and three ambiguous All things in this world depend upon their eternal fire According to their position, a passage may be drawn Without hatred, without fear Without pity, without love Without water, without tears Without limits, without God A carapace, a shell I long to fly, to bark and cry To swim and not lose my breath That I could breathe out smoke or wield a trunk To be everything, every animal, every field of rapeseed oil Every odour, every orange peel, every number seven Every sunset, the breath of young lovers laying I will flow like water Vibrate like sound Shine like light Into each atom Descend to the bottom All the rockets that fly, every mother that dies The dog shit you stepped in, the first time you kissed him

Snowballs 03:34
Well it sucks that I had to die to meet you But you know, thanks a lot God So here we are, playing mini golf in the afterlife I guess it's not so bad cause I found love Tonight we get to see the Grateful Dead, original line up, with Jerry And they think I’m afraid And I know you're the better person That you run back into the house, the burning house And I know that I'm the lesser person And I wonder what you see here Just cause I don't like snowmobiles, ex-wives, public speaking or asking for a raise This is not fear, this is hate

It's tough for a working man in Nineteen Thirty Two You know what with this economy falling through I look to the good book for some strength and fortitude But it brung no work after you gotta shoot yer mule Well standards won't buy these kids shoes And see what happens to morals when your rent is due Could you look your wife in the eye and bring home no food So I took that job in the Glue Factory, making glue Well five bucks a day was never so cruel It ain't no fun driving a bulldozer through a zoo Now I served in Europe and I thought they were some fucked up dudes It weren't nothing till you smelled Hell's cauldron brew But that night, President Hoover, in a dream, came to me He said "Put down that bottle son, and set yourself free For it is the uncommon man in this world who stands true So pick yourself up son, and start anew" It's at this point that the song changed track I want your imagination, if it could To leave 1930s depression era America And come with me on a journey, as I sail, through the wind With it in my hair, on my speedboat, to you Beautiful thing, hanging at the pier, in your high heel boots I'm here, in the future, with you, where am I? where I am! Miami, Magic City, Miami, A.D. 1980 Miami, 1980, Miami, 1980, Miami, 1980, Miami, 1980 I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV So come on girl, we're leaving for the Keys As I take you in my arms, don't be scared This cocaine really emphasises the fresh sea air

Don't let Cuba in, don't let Cuba in We found the hidden structure Defined the shape and nature We know what you're made of By the things we’re throwing atcha

Jōdan 09:12
She hears, the noise of the feast The laughter, the dancing feet He knows, the wedding is false Her wolves run through the halls There were things, things he should have known He did not believe them, not any at all But when a mind is closed the heart cannot see The train that's coming or the track that you lay Poured in his ear, drawing him near Joy we have known, pulling me home Full swing of the arm, protector from harm Bad dreams from the crib, the pain that he hid Don't cut the hand, don't slay the lamb Demon be gone, faithful be strong Enough is enough, bring me my stuff Leave him alone, leave him alone He comes home, discovers deception Queen of Cups, it doesn't matter, it does, it doesn't matter Cuts of forgiveness and cuts of blame Fling these red drops to the earth Let them bloom like blossoms Let bloom, let them grow On the north wall rises a tower And another, a third, and forth and so on and so on In the eighth tower, a chapel and an old bed I couldn't tell why they would need to be there, but I knew I shouldn't ask The first months in a foreign country are like a dream I walk through the streets by myself I inform myself of the customs of these people I dressed as they do, and drank tea in clear glasses But old thoughts travel Home is not a place, it's a time In the shadow of the kingdom I visit the workshops Examining the great machines that carry water to the gardens But they hardly gave me any attention They let me come and go as I please This is a kind of work Your springtime will never come again

I had been helping her through my firm to draft certain legal papers In pursuance of a dissolution of a marriage We had known each other for many years As children we had played together But I had not seen her since her return from Europe New York society had not been quick to accept her Though sympathetic to her face Behind her back they were ungenerous To meet with such a woman was not considered ‘accepted behaviour’ But my fiancé’s family had implored me To try and sway her from the path of divorce In the context of business, it was acceptable for a gentleman to visit And I can assure you that our meetings had always been proper Until she took out her banjo and started to play Like heaven's own To listen to my lures sweet tone And she played And he sat with his hat in his lap While she played And his heart grew and grew * * * In the novel, I did not stay I would never know her in that way We said our goodbyes Cut the ribbons that tied I walked home through the lamp light I most specifically did not cry * * * This is a tract on sensibility, esprit de corps The link between your morale and my morality Requires you to call her a whore But in the porn parody we fuck She played the banjo with a mouth full of nuts She had Chinese writing all down her back But I still could not read her It said 'good luck' or what the fuck! How would I know? It might have said 'this is the greater reality', 'my tract', 'my life', 'my sensibility'

about

Tracked with an 'analog approach to digital media'.
No digital skullduggery, no double-tracking, no overdubs and no backward cymbal going into the chorus!
Only ethically sourced zeros and ones were used in this recording.
Mastered for dynamics. I really don't give a fuck if it sounds like shit on your 'pimp-ass' Beats headphones. Google: 'Loudness War' then buy a real stereo.
