JUPITER, BABY! [2.55] (Lyrics by Gojo) Once we got to know about Jupiter The asteroid killer And it's majestic cloud covered storms How could we ever touch base And claim what's real and what's gold Since we left the solar system We've plunged deep into many soapy, bubbly, vast gas oceans And witnessed the terrifying lifeforms that dwell there Rising high up, on clouds of purple and green, floating Towering just above our ships Showing us, a tiny dot, a speck beside their cosmic, fluid bodies But also them, invisible from orbit, Lost inside the horrific gigantism of the monstrous balls Of molten dream and consciousness, That we call the gas giant All hail, bow and pray, The Great Lord, Jupiter! Praying to god, but I plain forgot his name Time to feed the dog, if it’s not me than it's you who is to blame Earth day, 666, but it's ski time on the slopes of Mars Volcano launch on Venus, count the revenue Count the revenue!

ROBOT SAMURAI 3.13 (Lyrics by Gojo, Teo) Robot samurai Super-jedi soldier, right on, out of sight Starship superman! He's the pointed sword That splits the earth and sky I'm awesome and amazing Steel limbs, my guns a-blazing I ride the crest, of the tidal wave I’m the army of one Old world undone! Robot, he carry no heart Cold thought; logic rips him apart Human, yes, you man Logic is the dawn to your night Never surrender Stronger than ever Blasting off Disregarding protocol I'm one with the stars! Robot samurai – robot samurai Never surrender Stronger than ever Blasting off Disregarding protocol I'm one with the stars! Take a sip – I guarantee you’ll fly Join the dip – immortal never die Immortal never die Immortal never die

CALL DR. CALORIE [3.15] (Lyrics by Teo, Gojo) They’re frying burgers at the wholesale church Where the customer is king and the amens are burps And you don’t get to choose but you have a big choice How much would you cash out To lose weight in a pig out Eat it in or have take-out Newly opened – look what a great turnout! Wrap your sweet tooth in plastic sugar Meat sticks dipped in dairy Wave and greet that calorie fairy You’ll cry later when the robes don’t fit To lose some pounds you’d have someone’s throat slit Oh baby, you’re such a treat Major nutritive values, Proceed on your pleasure cruise What’s new? That’s not news You’ve got his number – it’s stuck on your fridge Contact the doctor – that’s enough We’ll cross that bridge when we get there Anything for dessert? I wanna get hurt! Malorie – My little calorie Malorie – I’ve lost my key

BORN GAY IN AFRICA [3.20] (Lyrics by Gojo, Teo) Don't you know it – you sure don't show it That man was born gay in Africa First gay men, came out of Africa And man was born, all coloured and gay Way back then, out there in Africa Don't you know it How hard it is? To still be gay in Africa We all came out of And we're still not out of Born gay in Africa Open your heart up, open your mind See gays in Africa Soul food – peace, love and understanding All's gotta come, to Africa And it's alright, it's okay To be gay in Africa Let's sing a praise Let's raise a toast To being gay in Africa And isn’t it amazing how time stands still? And isn’t it amazing while it blazes by Things change while they remain Soul food – peace, love and understanding

RETURN OF THE SUN KING [4.47] (Lyrics by Gojo) Star card, world card Wheel of fortune Sun card, ace of pentacles Manifest destiny Scorpio in Venus, Jupiter in Leo New love, it's just new love Swords coming out of heart I just wanna get up and run around the block Happiness coming out of my pockets True love, true love Take that leap of faith Right now, right now Lord have mercy Sun, moon, rising and Venus Triumphant return of the Sun King Back to that high vibration castle Set free from heartbreak Head out, go, tune in and drop out Led and guided Go where you're supposed to be going Spending time with the divine Never going back to being a caterpillar Never going back to that cocoon Out and about, my time is a coming soon My time is coming soon

MEAT IS MURDER [2.52] (Lyrics by Teo) The world is made of people – and the animals of meat I would never send my son away – without teaching him to greet I’m just one of those types – in a crowded room, trying to find a seat And is that bad tell me is it so bad? What difference does it make? I need to know, it looks well on my report, Well we all have children after all. And we all have children after all. I never go to people’s funerals, but I like to have them on my plate Play is play and work is kill – never should I ever try and relate Have them seven or have them five – it’s all the same it’s worth your while Marry that (thing) or take it to bed – just decide before it gets cold Leave your hat just by that door – you know you’re never in the wrong House is clean and house is dull – carry me to holy land Oh, you know that meat is murder? Should we take it any further? Could a father kill a brother? Yes indeed, so why even bother? Oh, you know that meat is murder? Should we take it any further? Could a father kill a brother? Yes indeed – take in any further? Marry that thing or take it to bed – just decide before it gets cold Leave your hat just by that door – you know you’re never in the wrong House is clean and house is dull – carry me to holy land

LOVEWORKS (OR HOW TO FLY A JET FIGHTER) [4.27] (Lyrics by Teo) Like a sweet canary – singing songs of love There’s holes between the bars – but the song don’t fly And then you think about reason – and cry “why?” But you keep forgettin’ - you have no right ‘Cause nothing you have – you haven’t earned And everything you crave – needs to be learnt Turn of the card and you know – this is the one Some damn corner – by a different gun – you get shot down Cry “mercy” ask god “why?” - might as well count the stars Try and close that cut with a kiss – only make it deeper Don’t you know – Love works You just need – the right tools And as it happens... So, how to get together - and keep keeping on You go chasin’ your tail - ‘cause asking’ ll never show You gotta love yourself – and then loving is easy ‘Cause if you know how love works you can fly a jet fighter So glide on, slide in to reverse, off and on Eat your greens and put your goggles on! And if you ever feel like giving up, “that’s it!” Can’t keep on pushing on, need a break, need to get fit Have a dig a little deeper, no cutting lines, getting lit Shoot yourself full of colours – don’t blow it! Never blow it! Love always works!

BIG FAT ZOMBIE [4.54] (Lyrics by Teo) I know what makes you tick – you can’t hide I know what makes you breathe... Maybe you believe – maybe you don’t need to It’s very simple – it’s very mundane How you endure – to keep things so pure It’s the best place on Earth – clearly an Eden-like space Darkness, darkness – it’s a tobacco war Positive vibrations – taco midnight show Fire in the fish tank – swallow that family stone You big fat zombie – you crayon-faced circus freak You say good lovin’ – takes you up the country But how does that make you – suitable for bounty Big fat zombie – your belly is a bombie Darkness, darkness – it’s a tobacco war Positive vibrations – taco midnight show Fire in the fish tank – swallow that family stone You big fat zombie – you crayon-faced circus freak Your belly is a bombie Your belly is a bombie Your telly is calling you Your belly is a bombie Your belly is a bombie You big fat zombie Your telly is calling you Your belly is a bombie Whisper fear, whisper god f-e-a-r, g-o-d

FLOWERS IN YOUR HARE [3.14] (Lyrics by Gojo) The chaste goddess worshipping the moon The blood red throne, upon it king May the end come soon Mars red, a desolate wasteland Not dead, but an endless... And let me tell you a story ‘bout How miss pinball machine Became miss America If you're a player The casino hates you The eye in the sky Looks through your disguise No loaded dice, no trick of hand It sees right through you But still, endless joy awaits At the holiday wonderland Bring your cash Tighten your belt And spend till it hurts We wanna know what lies out there Beyond the sea of stars And we'll burn in the fire of a thousand suns But still, 31 days of rain on the Philippines Is being blamed on the theft of the statue of Jesus The place we all strive for Has so many nice things and salt shakers shaped like cows Sofa dream, big screen paradise Where we can turn off and really see no one But our own beautiful selves Cut in pieces and stuff placed on shelves White picket fence daydream There's more to life than it may seem But don't throw a dog our human food ‘Cause it teaches him how to beg Collecting antique lipstick cases Comes in great for the fullness of life Less than I hoped for, more than I expected It's alright, I'll come too, I'll perfect it There's a mysterious slow moving blob Flying over Washington While the beast of superstition Grazes in our backyard The iron fist, the prejudice galore Drinks for free, right at the bar We'd as soon starve to death Than miss out on black Friday sale Discount paradise, bought a ticket Gonna go on a shop spree, until I die We're all about something But it's all for nothing Don't miss out ‘Cause in the end All us good heroes die

FIRST LOVE AMPHETAMINE [6.15] (Lyrics by Gojo) Hello folks, I'm feeling fine Don't be shy, give love a try Perfect address up on cloud nine Working with the universe Things are now clearing Out of the rain and into the sun Blue skies just appearing Little bits of instant bliss raining from the skies The main course it really swings Tango, waltz, samba and now cha cha! Some funny soap bubbles, got to my eyes Don't think, I'm seeing pink, I'm one with the stars A taste of sweet rainbow Her gaze in the blue sky The moon and the sun rest on my shoulder First taste of love's sweet rainbow Brings tears to your eyes But love dog amphetamine Works once, don't even try Like this girl of mine, she's the best I've ever had Never met a woman so happy yet so sad Across the ocean beyond the crystal sea Perfect colours, you'll hear no bollocks Dream on, just dream Liquor pudding, caffeine milk Nicotine jelly, diamonds with silk Fake those tits vagina It's just the Venus rising ‘bove Mars Run cross the great wall of china Howl at the moon, the sun and the stars He made love to the bug queen Twice the size of Mars It ain't right, she just looks too good Superpowered on a jet-burst neutron star Like this girl of mine, she's the best I've ever had Never met a woman so happy yet so sad First love amphetamine, first love amphetamine Feels just like – first love amphetamine

Hitler Said 04:04
HITLER SAID [4.04] (Lyrics by Teo) The words you read got stuck in your head Achange of mind, they bled and bled and bled A strapping young lad, mad like his dad A silent mum, her face painted red A student A, with mind led astray No plan B just go ahead Toxic points and narrow friends Boots strapped tight to hit the nail on the head The nail on the head! Left for dead – how will you make your bed? La -la -la, fuck the common good La-la-la-la, show them how they should! A student A, with mind led astray No plan B just go ahead Toxic points and narrow friends Boots strapped tight to hit the nail on the head The nail on the head! And what did he say? Does it matter anyway? left for dead – how will you make your bed? La -la -la, fuck the common good La-la-la-la, show them how they should! Didn’t you hear? Did you pay attention To what Hitler said – you say it’s not so bad Well look again, do you need to refrain? La -la -la, fuck the common good La-la-la-la, show them how they should! Hitler said what Hitler said and Hitler said what Hitler said … Think about it...

RICH KIDS OF NORWAY [3.18] (Lyrics by Teo) The rich they preach But not using their words The rich they preach But not with their swords The rich they preach But not aloud – no, not aloud Off with their heads Off with their heads Invigorate – lacerate - at murder’s rate The rich they preach But not using words The rich they preach But not with their swords - The rich they preach But not using words The rich they preach But not with their swords The rich they preach But not aloud – no, not aloud Off with their heads Off with their heads Invigorate – lacerate - at murder’s rate Off with their heads Invigorate Off with their heads Lacerate Off with their heads At murder’s rate

GET OUT OF MY HARE / BENEATH THE YELLOW SUN [3.33] (Lyrics by Gojo) May the gods keep the beasts in the hills And the women in our beds. May the coffers be filled With gold and our enemies with lead. Peace is for the women And war is for fools, and men. God bless, let love be, Violence a paradox, on our wretched way to Zen. Unified by a common enemy For a made up foe, makes a good-profit war. And we'll sing our woes, as we ride into Jupiter's throes. Fire worshipper, a snake charmer's scheme - Rule the divided, and set sail to the east. We build the future, as we kill the past. Nothing's forgotten, but the memory won't last. Our business is war, and we're the whores of the battle - Wisdom, folklore, a mere tale for a cage, not to be rattled. How many legions does the sun god command? It's nuclear fission, and we're but atoms in its hand. Our names are written in the sand And our names are the waves That wash the writing away...
